《When the Doctor Uses A Hack》 Chapter 1: Life has become a game, and you are all NPCs (yo, that rhymes!) Chapter 1: Life has be a game, and you are all NPCs (yo, that rhymes!) Trantor: 549690339 Waking up with a start, Chen Cang felt like the heavens had yed 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 nned 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. Taskpletion 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 operationing 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. Taskpletion reward: 1. 20 RMB. 2. Dressing change experience +20. 3. Experience +20.] [Do you ept? 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 schrly papers and attend academic conferences. Cases of deaths due to insufficient rest ur 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. Taskpletion 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 sleepinesspletely gone, he got up, put on his white coat, and made a tough decision. Afterwards, he epted 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 simr 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 Vascr 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 ying 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 thoroughlyter 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 arge 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 identally, 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 forpletion: 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, sinceing 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 toin. What¡¯s taboo in a hospital? It¡¯s criticizing one doctor in front of another. Chen Cang wasn¡¯t naive; such ttery wasn¡¯t addictive for him, so he just smiled at anyments 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 Chapter 2: The Opportunity to Be Promoted Trantor: 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 Bingshengughed 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 ce 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¡¯rete 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¡¯se 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 hade 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 sry of 2200 yuan a month, without any benefits or performance bonuses. inly speaking, he was just there to do odd jobs. After all, at arge 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 n 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 notpare 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 avable, allowing one to earn more by doing more. In this hospital, one didn¡¯t just earn a basic sry; 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 avable. 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¡¯te 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 red at Chen Cang: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Cang smiled: ¡°Boss, I¡¯m a stranger in a strangend, 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 hade up today, so there should be some exnation, 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. ps: The new book is uploaded; everyone, please help out by adding it to your favorites. If you can, please cast a rmendation vote. A veteran author thanks you! Chapter 3: Daily Tasks Chapter 3: Daily Tasks Trantor: 549690339 [Ding! Congrattions, 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 mostmon 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 havepleted 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 moneye from unclear sources. That¡¯s fine; at least he didn¡¯t have to worry about being investigated for financial irregrities. 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,prising 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 eximed. ¡°Yes! 100 yuan, Chen, you¡¯re quite lucky!¡± The nurse leader alsoughed. Seeing everyone egging him on, Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed and sent aughing emoji: ¡°People who love tough 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 particr attention to Wang Qian¡¯s development. Upon seeing that Wang Qian was getting married, everyone immediately joined in congratting 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. Taskpletion reward: +30 wound cleaning and dressing experience, +50 yuan.] Chen Cang was immediately thrilledpleting this task would 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 shiftst night, Mr. An?¡± An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Yeah, fortunately, nothing happenedst 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 exined, ¡°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 tofort 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 ying monsters, while I level up and explode money by saving people. Chapter 4: I Want to Be the Chief Surgeon! Chapter 4: I Want to Be the Chief Surgeon! Trantor: 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 therger 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 nce, 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! Congrattions, you havepleted the daily task and received +30 experience in wound dressing and debridement, and 50 RMB.] An Yanjun came in and nced at Chen Cang, ¡°Hard work today, let¡¯s go handover the shift together.¡± [Ding! NPC An Yanjun¡¯s missionplete, you have gained +5 in favorable impression from An Yanjun, 20 RMB, and +30 experience.] Chen Cang nodded, noticing An Yanjun¡¯s nce 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 ie, 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 incidentsst night, so the handover went smoothly. Afterpleting the handover, An Yanjun changed clothes and left work. Chen Cang, on the other hand, stared nkly 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. [Name: Chen Bingsheng] [Profession: Doctor] [Level: lv42:960/12600 (Associate Chief Physician)] [Professional Skills: Basic Surgical Skills: Wound Cleaning and Dressing: Master: 3970/8000 Stitching of Skin, Tendons and Other Injuries: Advanced: 1679/4000 Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Intermediate: 1500/2000 ¡­ Surgical Skills: Primary Surgery: Appendectomy: Advanced: 277/4000 Incision and Drainage Surgery: Advanced: 9211/4000] ¡°` Hernia repair surgery: Intermediate: 292/2000 ¡­ Secondary surgery: Gastrointestinal ostomy and anastomosis: Intermediate: 656/2000 Gastrointestinal perforation repair: Advanced: 1999/4000 Intestinal volvulus reduction: Advanced: 999/4000 Subtotal gastrectomy: Advanced, 1289/4000 ¡­ Tertiary surgery: Laparoscopic bowel small intestine and colon surgery: Intermediate: 555/2000 Thyroidectomy: Intermediate: 799/2000 Gastric cancer radical surgery (proximal gastrectomy, distal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy): Intermediate: 855/2000¡­ 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, ifpared 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 ording 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 ording 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 surgeriester, 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 rtionship 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: First Kill in the Operating Room Chapter 5: First Kill in the Operating Room Trantor: 549690339 [Ding! NPC Chen Bingsheng has issued a task: Perform the main surgeon role in two appendicitis surgeries, task requirement: a goodpletion. Taskpletion 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 noints 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 ce 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 doneparoscopically, 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-inmmation treatment, she was decided for surgery. As soon as Auntie Zhang heard thatparoscopy 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 namesbeled 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 greenbel that read [Cecum] The colon also had a greenbel 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 redbel 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 inmed 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? ording 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 mp to grab the appendix and a hemostat to mp 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! Apanied 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 thest stitch, he finally took a long breath. Goodness¡­ That was exhrating. [Ding! First kill achieved! You¡¯ve gained the title: Rookie of the Operating Room, please keep it up andplete ten consecutive kills!] [Ding! You¡¯ve in 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 yearste! 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 be legendary! Chen Bingsheng was lost for words. Had this guy gone mad? Chen Bingsheng gave Chen Cang a helpless nce, ¡°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 intoughter. ¡°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 ce erupted inughter. The operating room nurse, Qin Lele, said with a smile, ¡°Dr. Chen is new to this and he did quite well. No idents, and everything was smooth. Let¡¯s give Dr. Chen a round of apuse!¡± 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 ept 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 ungging 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. Level: 13: 50/1300 Level 1 Surgery Skills: Appendectomy: 100/1000 (Beginner) Remaining Skill Points: 1. Title: Rookie of the Operating Room.] Chapter 6: Rare Monster, Burst Equipments! Chapter 6: Rare Monster, Burst Equipments! Trantor: 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-inmmatory drugs, he continued his eating and drinking as usual the following day. His appendicitis worsened and turned into suppurative appendicitis. Only then did hee 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 res 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 exined, ¡°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¡¯te here for surgery, did you? You came here to perform aedy 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 facies 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 thest 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 sh wound from a knife attack?¡± Chen Cang was speechless: you¡¯re looking to make a false im 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 apse 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 shed 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 evenpare; they¡¯re too low!¡± Chen Cang ignored him. This joker! A stand-upedian! 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 dermisyer and subcutaneous fatyer are cutyer byyer. At this point, Chen Bingsheng proactively came over to perform electrocoagtion for hemostasis. Not bad, the little sidekick¡¯s quite sharp! Chen Cang looked at Chen Bingsheng appreciatively, offering encouragement! Chen Bingsheng was taken aback, ring fiercely: Itching for a smack, are you? The external oblique aponeurosis was cutyer byyer, 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 cavityy 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 inmmatory abdominal pus, so he breathed a sigh of relief! However¡­ There was arge 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 erged 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 encapsting 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 ced 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 red 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 ites to this point???¡± For a moment, Qin Lele, the instrument nurse next to them, couldn¡¯t help butugh: ¡°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, ced 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 abdomenyer byyer. Surgerypleted! [Ding! You¡¯ve defeated Rare Appendix Monster: Acute purulent perforated appendix, gained +200 experience points, +200 RMB, and +200 appendix removal surgery experience.] [Ding! Congrattions, 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: I Have Expanded Chapter 7: I Have Expanded Trantor: 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 inmed, 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 howe 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 Bingshengughed, ¡°That¡¯s disgust! A mental issue!¡± The nurses in the operating room couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and burst outughing! Even Chen Cangughed heartily. The man scratched his head, ¡°Makes sense!¡± The effects of the anesthesia didn¡¯t seem to have worn offpletely 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 Cangughed; 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 butin, ¡°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 questplete, sessfully 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 umted 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 surgeriested 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 thefort 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 ce 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 ie 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 onlyes 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 ny 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 be a battle of wits with the owner. So tiring. I¡¯ll have spicy hot pot tomorrow¡­ Chapter 8: The Power of Sharpness +1 Chapter 8: The Power of Sharpness +1 Trantor: 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 inte for cosmetic surgery videosst 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,e 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 me 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 himter? Where¡¯s your director? I want your director to do the suturing! You young doctor,cking skills and looking for excuses!¡± Qin Yue was so exasperated she almostughed 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: ¡°Whatck 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, urate, and resolute. Speed is critical! However, for a suture needle to prate 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 ovee! 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 pration, reducing the controbility of the procedure. The difficulty of suturing also greatly increases! This is especially the case with children, the elderly with poor skin sticity, and physicalborers 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 simr 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 stillposedly 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 hadpleted 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, ande 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 Ie 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¡¯srge 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 suturingpleted (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 apletely 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 prate 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 suturepletion 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 Chapter 9: Advanced NPC¡¯s Quests Trantor: 549690339 ¡°` 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 red at Chen Cang, pouting, ¡°Still yo? You traitor, whose side are you on? Traitor!¡± Chen Cangughed 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 naturallye 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 ssmates 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 butugh. 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¡¯sints 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 orugh 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 themotion? What¡¯re you discussing? Qin, any issues with the patientst night?¡± Qin Yue stuck out her tongue at Chen Cang and hurriedly stood up to report, ¡°Teacher, all was quietst 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 incidentsst 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 andpete, 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 be an official staff member of the department, contract signed. Rewards forpletion: 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,pleting over ten thousand surgeries to much acim. 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 heroplex 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 pped 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 red 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: Triggering the Intermediate Mission Chapter 10: Triggering the Intermediate Mission Trantor: 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 ssmates who came to the Second Provincial Hospital together after graduation. However, one went to general surgery, while the other stayed in emergency. Nheless, this does not affect their coboration, as they often invite each other to participate in surgeries. This is because emergency surgeries are quite misceneous, covering a wide range, but it¡¯s difficult for one person toplete 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 dyed 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 seed in medicine, one can switch to literature. After all, the old ancestors also said, ¡°A schr 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 exemry 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 eachyer and opening the peritoneum, the exploration begins! Chen Bingsheng carefully observes, while Zhang Zhixin assists. Chen Bingsheng: ¡°No ascites, liver, galldder, pancreas, spleen, small intestine, and colon show no anomalies!¡± ¡°The stomach wall is smooth, slightly edematous, the stomach body is obviously erged, 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 galldder, 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, nning 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 red 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 particr, was known as the king of hospital gossip! From specting whose child belonged to whom to murky rtionships 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],[Galldder],[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 iplete pyloric obstruction: lv39 pyloric ulcer obstruction monster, standard monster, characteristics: Ulcer mildly adhered to the galldder, local scar formation pulling and contracting, causing narrowing of the pyloric canal, affecting the duodenum! Rmendation: 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 prpsed 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 avascr 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 waspleted, 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 hase! 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 t, 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 stillcking 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: Money Farming Dungeon! Chapter 11: Money Farming Dungeon! Trantor: 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 toe 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,pletion 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 ce 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 veryrge, 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 mary 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 Canging 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 ofmanding car model and style? Of course, Chen Cang wasn¡¯tpletely 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 Zhixinughed, ¡°You kid!¡± ¡°Xian, 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, youdies 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 augh, ¡°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 stic 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. Thergest 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 andughter. 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 asplicated 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 thepany, 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, juste 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 ss 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 youe for a day, whether you perform surgery or not, you¡¯ll get a base sry 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 Ie over, and you shoulde 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 rtion?¡± Chen Cang thought hard for a long while: ¡°No blood rtion, I¡¯m O-type, he¡¯s A-type. And there¡¯s no unsavory rtionship 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 neer 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: The Wild Will Make Them Tremble with Fear! Chapter 12: The Wild Will Make Them Tremble with Fear! Trantor: 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 firstdy here for the double eyelid surgery, Ms. Qian, has arrived.¡± Zhang Zhixin nodded, turned to nce 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 ndering 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 forfort! 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 bnce, 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 ufortable. 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, congrattions, 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 nced at the distant Mirror, and byparison¡­ he seemed more like a stic surgeon whobined handsomeness + aesthetics + an artistic air + dexterity + exquisite medical skill! Nheless, 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 ns, which is a bit too difficult for me!¡± Ms. Qian was optimistic andughed heartily, ¡°You have to believe in your skills. What if you do such a good job that I end up extremely beautiful?¡± Everyoneughed 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 ssic double eyelid styles, resembling ¡®peach blossom eyes¡¯, popr 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, particrly 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 t 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 exnation left Ms. Qian beaming, and through the Mirror, she seemed to glimpse her future. If a hospital saves health, then a stic 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 toote! 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 wless 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 te, causing adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal te 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 ced. 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 cane and give a 1 yuan reward¡ªnot for the money¡­ it¡¯s just really hard to look at¡­ Chapter 13: Special Rewards Chapter 13: Special Rewards Trantor: 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 rted to the oue 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 ordingly, before finally emerging from the entry point and passing shallowly through the eyelid te from point A. The most critical step hade! Tying a knot! The knotted suture was buried underneath the skin! The first point was done! Chen Cang looked rxed, 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 abination of physical and meticulous work. The next points were to follow. The surgerysted nearly an hour, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t move a muscle,pleting 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 stic surgery and general surgery lies in finding faults! General surgery is about locating the lesion to be removed! While stic 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 alsopleted 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 ept 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 urately, 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 yourbor is worthless?¡± Chen Cang was startled! Zhang Zhixin continued, ¡°You are a doctor; yourbor 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 obligatorybor here in a private hospital! So, you must take this money. Consider it your internship sry.¡± 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. Taskpleted, reward obtained: 1. Special reward; 2. RMB +1000;] Chen Cang was delighted! The task waspleted. A thousand yuan, plus whatever was in the envelope Zhang Zhixin gave him, which ording 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 exining if a transformer or a life-size intable doll appeared. Chen Cang lived in an urban vige where the rent was cheap. At the moment, the ce 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 thendlord¡¯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 im it! [Ding! Would you like to im the special reward?] Chen Cang confirmed! [Ding! Congrattions, 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 wee, thank you! Chapter 14: Money is Hard to Earn Chapter 14: Money is Hard to Earn Trantor: 549690339 [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! Congrattions, 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 simte various cosmetic looks, better aiding you in the perfect nning 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 be 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 stic surgeon. Beauty¡¯s Gaze could help him n 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 stic surgery. Wanting to be a stic surgeon might be simple, but wanting to be an exceptional one, you must have a pursuit of beauty. You must possess an extraordinary aesthetic sense. It¡¯s aboutbining 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 stopughing. ¡°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, thendlord. I¡¯m knocking on the door! No, I mean, open the door!¡± The voice was indeed thendlord 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 ce 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 nce, Chen Cang was filled with panic. The aunt continued, ¡°Ah, once the ce is torn down, I¡¯ll get ten apartments, plus two storefronts, and 8 million in relocationpensation. 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! Thendlord aunt wasn¡¯t lying. In this urban vige, she originally owned four houses. Her father was the vige chief, and their family didn¡¯t have much besides houses. After the area became part of the urban vige, 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 ie 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 ce 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!¡± Thendlord 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 shorings!¡± Do not mock a youth for their poverty! At that, thendlord 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 ising 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 ws. 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: ¡­ Thendlord 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: 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) Trantor: 549690339 Thendlord aunt continued, ¡°Let¡¯s coborate. If you can keep my daughter from going abroad and have her stay here, I¡¯ll rent you a ce for free!¡± At this point, thendlord 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 be 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 thatter on she can take care of me in my old age, find a good son-inw, and have a stable life.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not greedy for wealth. We¡¯re justmon folks from the vige 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, thendlord 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 be arrogant! Do you dare to pity a billionaire? After sharing her troubles, thendlord aunt left. And Chen Cang didn¡¯t take it seriously, since thendlord 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 vige within the city being demolished, he needed to find a new ce 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 ie 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 ce 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 vige 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 n 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 amodation, 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 schrships avable, 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. Thatsted 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. ording to his initial n, 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 be 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 ce. 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 vige, 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 vige. 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 thest straw that breaks the back of an adult. The copse 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,e 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 ambnce arrived at the Nansha River construction site. The vehicle hadn¡¯t evene to aplete 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, d in camouged clothing and covered in dust and dirt, saw the ambnce 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 victimy there, pale and colorless. Chen Bingsheng knelt on the ground, ced 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 camouge 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 camouge 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 ambnce, ¡°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 nce, ¡°It¡¯s fibrition¡­¡± 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 rtive? 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 camouge, 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¡¯ming too.¡± In the ambnce, there was a defibritor, cardiac monitor, and oxygen ¨C all very convenient. One shock from the defibritor! No effect! The second time! Still no effect! The fibrition continued. If the fibrition 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 ce 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. This book is about a society where vast currents rage, speaking of the vicissitudes of human life. I hope the friends who read this chapter can join me in finishing this story. Thank you! (See you at the end, ahem, calling you out, dear readers. This chapter is set where~~~~) Chapter 16: Life and Death Wires Chapter 16: Life and Death Wires Trantor: 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; sessful 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!¡± ¡°Defibrite, keep defibriting, increase the voltage!¡± Chen Cang continued, but unfortunately¡­ There was still no response from the patient, and the ventricr fibrition persisted. After a moment of hesitation, Chen Bingsheng said, ¡°Amiodarone!¡± Chen Cang nodded and injected the amiodarone! If the fibrition wasn¡¯t stopped, they couldn¡¯t proceed with the subsequent rescue. ¡°Injectionplete!¡± Chen Bingsheng: ¡°Keep defibriting!¡± The intensive resuscitation environment in the vehicle seemed to make breathing almoste to a halt. Time truly became the hourss of life. No one knew when it would run out. The man in camouge 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 irregr fluctuating line on the monitor stopped and became t, 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 thest prayer. At this moment, he felt more tension and fatigue than the hardest physicalbor. The irregr bouncing on the heart monitor had be 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 viger 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 me for you. Some people, carry on despite the heaviness. Suddenly, at that moment, the man in camouge shivered. Because he saw that the line on the heart monitor had ttened. 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 camouge 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 ambnce driver. His timing was urate 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 ambnce. Qin Yue nced 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 beganpressing 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 ventricr fibrition, likely not at a high voltage, probably household voltage, so there weren¡¯t any major problems, but there were over a dozen incidents of ventricr fibrition 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 ventricr fibrition. Wu Peng quickly ordered, ¡°Now, run tests right away for cardiac enzymes, urinalysis, myoglobin, and creatine kinase!¡± ¡°Call theb 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! Missionplete, sessful 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 Chapter 17: A Hundred People, A Hundred Characters Trantor: 549690339 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 butugh. 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 youughing at?¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I was just thinking of something happy.¡± ¡°So, you¡¯re notining 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 andmon 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 stimte 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 red 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 bepleted? 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 Canging in, the man in camouge and the youngd 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 toote. 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 mostmon 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 avable, could you go and help out?¡± Ding! Head Nurse Tian Lanxiang has issued a task: Assist An Yanjun in the outpatient clinic, Taskpletion reward: Tian Lanxiang¡¯s Favor +5. Alright, a favor task, not bad at all! Having a good rtionship 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 misceneous 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 ss 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 amon 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 ss 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 vine.¡± The man was startled. Hearing all theseplicated 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 Canging over and quickly stood up: ¡°Xiao Chen,e 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 ss 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: Anesthesia for Free Chapter 18: Anesthesia for Free Trantor: 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 ss?¡± The young man sighed, ¡°We work at a ss factory. A piece of ss 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 ss 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 ss 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 ss shard, parted the wound with his left hand, and yanked hard! Immediately, a ss 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 ss 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 andughed, ¡°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 transntation; the figure-eight suture, because of its particr 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 ce. 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 ss from his body andpleting 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, inmmatory 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 particrlyplex. 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 ayer 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 vige; he had brought them out to work and couldn¡¯t let them pay. With this in mind, he checked his Alipay bnce. 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 disyed. 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: God-Level Special Effects Chapter 19: God-Level Special Effects Trantor: 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 vinated 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 vine 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 calcte 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¡¯sb 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,st month¡¯s dressing inventory was off, wasn¡¯t it? Howe 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 taskpleted, 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 oue 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 Ennd 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 inted. [Ding! Senior NPC Chen Bingsheng issues a task: Improve suturing level to advanced! Taskpletion, 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 fromst 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 bnce will be seriously strained. Chen Cang can ept 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¡­ s! So smart, I am. ¡­ The division ofbor 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 rm bell sounded different from the ambnce¡¯s siren. This was clearly a symphonyposed 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 ambnce was at the front door. He saw a man being wheeled off the ambnce, 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¡¯te into the resuscitation room.¡± The police officers stopped at the doors of the resuscitation room. The authoritative middle-aged man was clearly the leader, nced at the others, ¡°You all go back to the station, I¡¯ll stay here!¡± Chapter 20: Get Whatever You Want Chapter 20: Get Whatever You Want Trantor: 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 sessful suture. And even if the suture is sessful, 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 someonee 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¡¯te down right away. Dr. Chen is very capable.¡± Zhang Keqin wanted to say something but held back! His clenched fists had no ce to rest! Anxious! Desperate! He didn¡¯t want a promising young talent to be dyed. 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 particrly 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¡¯te 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 personallying to assist with the surgery, it had to be sessful, right? Inside, Zhang Keqin was full of anticipation! Right! He decided tomunicate 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 cirction. At this time, the blood flow in the hand was increasingly poor. The longer the dy, 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 vascr anastomosis and then perform tendon suture! But¡­ Chen Cang¡¯s current level of tendon suture was only intermediate! For such aplex tendon suture, without a senior level, it was impossible to proceed. And most important of all was the oue 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 rted 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 toplete 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 seeded, 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: Sessfully treat Wu Gang,pletion 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! Congrattions, 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: One-time Repair, Long-term Warranty Chapter 21: One-time Repair, Long-term Warranty Trantor: 549690339 Tendon suture did not need to be performed in the operating room, it could bepleted just in the treatment room. But this ced 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 nce 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¡¯te 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 alreadyrge 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 urred, 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 tendonspared 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 urate! But the principle is the same: the sticity and tension of the tendon meant that your needle had to enter swiftly, urately, steadily, and forcefully, without hesitation; every moment of hesitation increased the likelihood of adhesion. The possibility of adhesion would be much higher during theter 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 vascr 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 dyed 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 toplete, let alone him, a little rookie who hadn¡¯t even transferred careers yet. Looking at the confident Chen Cang, two words shed 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 nervepletely. But what¡¯s there really, hasn¡¯t everyonee out step by step, especially us from the vige; 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 oue, 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 upational 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: Show Off Skills! Chapter 22: Show Off Skills! Trantor: 549690339 The surgery began! Chen Cang¡¯s first task was to remove the iron filings inside, including those tiny pieces of metal shrapnel. The assant 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 mped 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 erge the wound, leading to only one oue! 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 uracy 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 suturingplete, 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 ck off in the slightest. The first one¡­ The second one¡­ ¡­ Thest one! Sutured! Finally, it was done. Tendon suturingplete! Sess rate extremely high! By now, Qin Yue waspletely 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 inparison to Chen Cang, Shi Na¡¯s proficiency with tendon suturing wascking, 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 slightlycking, his precision, uracy, 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 vascr 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 vascr 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 maintainposure 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 topare and match the broken skin, piecing it together, and soon, a perfect n 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 rying 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 hourter, Liu Siqi arrived at the Provincial Second Hospital, apanied 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 urred? 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 juste out of surgery, I¡¯ll go check the resuscitation room.¡± Qin Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Keqin, offering words offort: ¡°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 seque, 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: Awesome! Chapter 23: Awesome! Trantor: 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 exined, ¡°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 bettere 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 wordspletely 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 exin, ¡°Director, the emergency department¡¯s operating rooms are limited. Tendon suturing ismonly 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 Qining, 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 being 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 red 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 pped 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 potentialplications 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 toote 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 rxed 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 ttery backfire? Isn¡¯t that even better? What heinous crime have Imitted 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, dying tendon suturing is not conducive to the hand¡¯s recovery. Moreover, a prolongedck 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 regtions! ¡°After assessing the patient¡¯s condition, it was a highlyplex case. Didn¡¯t you consider that? What if it had failed?¡± Chen Cang replied, ¡°Surgeryes 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 havemunicated 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 mncholy. Seeing Director Qin¡¯s eyelids twitch, Qin Yue made a decisivement, ¡°Exactly! The surgery was very sessful. Everyone can watch the operation video; we have recordings in our treatment room.¡± Chapter 24: Classic Suture Case of a Damaged Tendon (Additional, frantically hinting...) Chapter 24: ssic Suture Case of a Damaged Tendon (Additional, frantically hinting¡­) Trantor: 549690339 There¡¯s a video? This could be a solid piece of evidence! Qin Xiaoyuan snorted coldly in his heart, thinking, just wait until I watch the video, then I¡¯ll deal with you! You arrogant kid. An Yanjun was taken aback, damn it, right, the treatment room has video surveince to prevent idents, and it can also record the surgical process¡ªthis is bad! What if this kid causes trouble? Doesn¡¯t this just provide evidence? The two experts from the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital sighed and exchanged nces, ¡°Let¡¯s watch the video first.¡± The video needs to be retrieved from the monitoring center; it¡¯s not in the emergency department. Continuing to stay here is pointless, might as well head straight to the monitoring center. All the way there, Qin Xiaoyuan had a dark expression, silent with a ckened face, while Zhang Keqin was full of trepidation, this was more unsettling than facing a criminal. Meanwhile, Liu Siqi and Tan Zhonglin were much calmer, ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t rush, let¡¯s watch the video first. If the problem is really serious, we can always perform the surgery again.¡± When Tan Zhonglin said this, he didn¡¯t have much confidence himself. It¡¯s not that simple! Upon arriving at the monitoring center and exining their purpose, the staff quickly retrieved the surveince footage. The special footage from dedicated cameras could be zoomed in, and even the sound was audible. An Yanjun was constantly thinking of countermeasures at this time! And Qin Yue, the tag-along, sighed, ¡°These leaders are really not making things easy.¡± As for Chen Cang, the on-duty doctor couldn¡¯t just leave his post. Skipping the beginning scenes, they went straight into the surgery. Chen Cang was using tweezers to search for scattered iron filings and fragments. It was evident that Chen Cang¡¯s basic skills were solid, bold yet meticulous. Qin Xiaoyuan was an internist, not a surgeon, but his long-term clinical experience still allowed him to discern certain things. The suturing phase wasing up, and everyone observed patiently, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director Liu, Director Tan, pay close attention. If there¡¯s anything not done properly, it must be spotted in time.¡± Tan Zhonglin and Liu Siqi nodded silently. But as they watched Wu Gang¡¯s wrist and back of the hand through the camera, up close, their brows furrowed involuntarily. The degree of injury was too severe! The skin was heavily damaged, with exposed blood vessels, and many tendons were destructively injured. The color of the blood was terrible! Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°The extent of damage is indeed troublesome. The young man was right, dying the surgery for too long is not conducive toter recovery.¡± Zhang Keqin opened his mouth, but didn¡¯t know what to say. Tan Zhonglin continued, ¡°To be honest, even if I were to stitch the tendon, I can¡¯t guarantee it would recover to its original state, given¡­ the difficulty is too great.¡± ¡°But¡­ this young doctor was still a bit hasty¡­¡± Before Tan Zhonglin could finish, he didn¡¯t continue because Chen Cang had already begun the procedure! ¡°He¡¯s too hasty, not just a bit. Such an urgent surgery without enough time to judge the angle of tendon suturing and the technique used, it¡¯s simply recklessness!¡± Chen Cang mped the end of the tendon with a hemostatic forceps, took a 30cm long silk thread, and threaded it through fine straight needles at both ends. He prated the tendon transversely at 1.5cm from the end, pulled it through to make both sides of the thread equal in length, then entered the needle adjacent to the exit point, crossing diagonally towards the end and symmetrically through the tendon. This cross-stitching was done 2-3 times, finally exiting at 3mm from the side of the hemostatic forceps¡­ Dean Qin sighed, no, after this I¡¯ll need to talk to the director of emergency about it. However, Liu Siqi was soon stunned! Wasn¡¯t that needling too fast? And his understanding of tendons too profound, otherwise such uracy would be impossible! This young man was no simple character! Just by that one action of needling, Liu Siqi had to take it seriously. Compared to Liu Siqi, Tan Zhonglin was even more frowning! He noticed something very strange yet interesting, that Chen Cang during the suturing always had a good grasp on the position of the tendon, especially where the needle tipnded! Suddenly Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face changed! Impossible! This absolutely can¡¯t be. The match between the two Achilles tendons was so high? Tan Zhonglin was dumbfounded. He had been observing Chen Cang threading the steel wire through the tendon, but he noticed, the match of the sutured tendon¡ªwas so precise! What did that imply? ¡°` The higher the degree of alignment, the lower the probability of injury, the faster the healing speed, and the lower the chance of adhesion! ¡°There¡¯s no way the alignment could be this precise.¡± ¡°Is this a coincidence?¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t this coincidence a bit too convenient?¡± ¡°It must be a coincidence!¡± Tan Zhonglin would bet on it, after all, even he might not be able to achieve such a high degree of precision. However, the following scenes pierced his chest like sharp arrows! ¡°Such high alignment again!¡± ¡°Again!¡± Perfect alignment of the abductor pollicis longus tendon achieved! Perfect suturing of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon achieved! Tendons of the flexor carpi radialis seeded again! ¡°It¡¯s brilliant!¡± Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but apud and cheer! ¡°Fantastic!¡± This caught the people around him off guard. Director Qin was taken aback, sighed, and thought, ¡°It¡¯s done¡­ shot!¡± ¡°Director Tan isughing out of frustration, this kid¡­ is making trouble for me¡­¡± Zhang Keqin and Director Qin exchanged nces, a faint sadness spreading in their hearts. As for Liu Siqi, he said nothing and even took out his phone to start filming! The tendon was quickly sutured! Then came the blood vessel suturing, standard and unexceptional! And finally, the skin? Wait a minute¡­ This skin suturing¡­ it¡¯s quite beautiful? No! Can skin be sutured to such an extent, with this level ofpleteness? ¡°That¡¯s¡­ impossible!¡± With this thought, Tan Zhonglin turned around and said to the staff, ¡°Rewind the video to before the surgery began!¡± Quickly, the staff retrieved the video, and everybody saw the extent of Wu Gang¡¯s skin damage before the surgery began! Then Tan Zhonglin cut back to the current scene forparison! Everyone was stunned! Because the skin was bloody and fuzzy before, but now¡­ the sutured skin was very smooth, it could even be called beautiful. ¡°How advanced are the suturing skills required for this?¡± Especially the mastery of skin is impressively skillful, truly deft hands! Zhang Keqin couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°This¡­ Director Liu, Director Tan, is there still a chance?¡± Tan Zhonglin frowned: ¡°y it again, slow down the tendon suturing, set it to 0.5 times speed.¡± The staff nodded. Tan Zhonglin hurriedly took out his phone and started filming! This suturing was too sessful, it can be called a ssic case of suturing a damaged tendon. It holds great research value. Moreover, even Tan Zhonglin wasn¡¯t entirely certain he could do it as well. Thinking this, Tan Zhonglin marvelled at the screen: ¡°Medicine truly is a discipline that requires talent.¡± Especially surgery! ps: I know you all feel the updates are slow, but during the new book period, I can¡¯t do extra updates, because¡­ you know, I won¡¯t say more, let¡¯s fix the update time for now, every day at 0 a.m. and 12 p.m. the next day, two updates a day. Adding more updates¡­ is also possible, after all, you are all bosses¡­ right. However, I promise that during the new book period, all rewards will lead to extra updates after the book is listed, the specific rules¡­ I haven¡¯t thought them through yet, it wouldn¡¯t be good to go back on my word if you all found a loophole, so let¡¯s take it slow¡­ ¡°` Chapter 25: Fickle in Joy and Anger Chapter 25: Fickle in Joy and Anger Trantor: 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 ssic movie, utterly content, it was too gratifying! Yet he still craved for more! Every surgeon has arge-capacity external hard drive at home, containing various ssic 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 nned, which resulted in an excellent alignment of the patient¡¯s tendons¡­ I can assure you, there¡¯s an eighty to ny 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 theparison photo; you can clearly see for yourself!¡± Zhang Keqin looked at the before and afterparison 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 be 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 nced at his old ssmate 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 Porcin¡± popped up in his mind (original, ahem, note that)! The needle tip traced along the skin, the suture thread undting. (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 nced 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 otherpletely, with just a nce 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 dy treating patients. However¡­ Chen Cang had just finished suturing and stood up to see everyonee 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 finallyprehended what it meant clearly. Chapter 26: There’s Room for Improvement in Character! Chapter 26: There¡¯s Room for Improvement in Character! Trantor: 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 wille 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 seemspletely true! However¡­ being thoroughly nurtured, that sounds good! Qin Xiaoyuan answered a phone call and left in a hurry, casting a pensive nce 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 apany them.¡± After saying that, he hurriedly left. Watching Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s departure, Tan Zhonglin and Liu Siqi¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°This¡­ Dr. Chen,e 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 andposed, nonchnt and serene. Tan Zhonglinughed 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 abouting to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital to develop? Our hand surgery department iscking 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 toe, we¡¯re always weing.¡± 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 intoughter, ¡°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 Cange 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 intoughter upon hearing this. Zhang Keqinughed, ¡°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, juste 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 Gangpleted: 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 - 27 Chapter 27: Trantor: 549690339 | Another emergency night shift. Chen Cang felt that working the night shift was like ying the lottery. If luck was on your side, you¡¯d draw a great fortune, peace reigning across thend, and you could actually get some rest¡ªmaybe even catch some sleep. But if you were unlucky! s¡­ 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 muscr 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 muscr 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 disappearedpletely, didn¡¯t it? And¡­ Chen Cang actually found them amusing. It was like a film star had taken up cross-talkedy and then gone back to acting. Full of camera presence, and notcking in verbal talent either! The leader on the left was a bald hulk of a man, tall and muscr. Though hecked muscr 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 sh, 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 nd! 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, hisckeys 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 re 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 sma, red cells, white cells, the works!¡± Chen Cang realized that these technical termsing from the big guy¡¯s mouth were intentionally used to add a ssh 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 red 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 exnation was killer! The revtion 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 ipetence. 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: The Dragon of Mona Lisa Chapter 28: The Dragon of Mona Lisa Trantor: 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 oue¡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 irregr. 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 bes 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 irregrity of the cut, he had to insert the needle in multiple points in order not to disrupt the tattoo, thus increasing theplexity 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 minutester, 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 ring 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 thest stitch in ce 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 bbergasted! 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 outughing! ¡°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 schr!¡± ¡°This name is understated luxury with depth,bining 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: The Heart of Youth Chapter 29: The Heart of Youth Trantor: 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 startedposing 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 apuse with my Italian cannon. Equating an infection with amon 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 formted a perfect equation: Infection = dragon gone Dragon gone >mon cold Therefore Infection >mon cold After Chen Cang finished bandaging, he promptly received a notification: [NPC Zhang Dalong has issued a task: Wound cleaning and suturingpleted, 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 Dalongughed heartily and said, ¡°Master, if you ever encounter any trouble in Damavige 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¡¯lle 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 youe 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¡¯tst long. Chen Cang sat in front of theputer toplete 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 matureputer, 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,e 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, ck-rimmed sses, 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, hisposure impable! ¡°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¡¯te 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 youe 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, orplimented me? Is it well-written? Chapter 30: Positive Energy! Chapter 30: Positive Energy! Trantor: 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 ss! The ss 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,pletion of the mission rewards one option: Circumcision (Junior Level)] Chen Cang was startled! Circumcision? A verymon, 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 stillcks 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¡¯reforting 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 copse 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 thest 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 unppable 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 exined: ¡°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, ande back in three days to have the dressing changed, and you¡¯ll be good.¡± The woman finally rxed 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 suddenlymented, ¡°I¡¯m thankful my kids are still young, but¡­ I should probably start sex education early.¡± Chang Lina, unmarried but in a rtionship, 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 nearlyughed 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 mischievousughter, causing Chen Cang to feel a tingling sense of dread¡­ Fearsome fujoshi!

Congrattions, you¡¯vepleted the task, saved an injured patient, and acquired the skill: Foreskin Circumcision (Beginner)] 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 umted over twenty-two thousand. And with about two thousand in cash, Chen Cang quickly calcted, 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 boughtst 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 ie was rming 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 calctor and after careful calction, adding his monthly sry of over two thousand, his monthly ie could reach fifteen thousand. Should I: find a partner? p! Chen Cang quickly pped 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 ce to call home at least. The night passed without incident, and in thete 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 Vige, and the street was lined with small eateries, with various stalls everywhere, unregted. After all, as one of the fewrge-scale urban viges in the city center, it had be a bustling ce for the lower-ss citizens. But today¡¯s Dama Vige 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 Cange in, Old He smiled and said, ¡°Oh, Kung Pao chicken?¡± Chen Cang nodded and smiled, ¡°Mhm.¡± Old He was the owner of this restaurant, thendlord, 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, butparatively, the hygiene standards were better. Those who run restaurants in urban viges usually rely on slim profit margins and high sales volume, and those that are popr are the ones that offer good deals. Old He¡¯s restaurant wasn¡¯t particrly cheap, and the taste was just so- so, passable. But it had one advantage: the food tasted like homemade, which meant it certainly couldn¡¯tpete 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, featuringrge 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 recement 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 ce is demolished. You should hurry and find a ce to rent too.¡± Chen Cang nodded, nning to look for a ce 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 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 eptable. Chen Cang, after pondering for a long while, decided to rent it. The ce 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 amunal 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 aborious 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. Chapter 32: The Small Appendix, The Great Spirit Chapter 32: The Small Appendix, The Great Spirit Trantor: 549690339 | That day, after handing over her shift, Head Nurse Tian Xiann 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 ce 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 Xiann also had a significant responsibility. It may seem like the emergency department is thergest 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 be 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 eximed 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 ttery, just practice hard. Strive to perfect the appendectomy during this period, and when theye 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 variousplications, 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 rtively easy to separate and the inmmation 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 ughter pigs? The goal of pig ughterers 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,es 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¡ªsimrly, 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 simr. 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 be ringly 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, andparoscopic 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 Cangpletely. Chapter 33: Auspicious Day, Scheduling the Surgery Chapter 33: Auspicious Day, Scheduling the Surgery Trantor: 549690339 An Yanjun was an extremely rigorous person and also someone who pursued perfection. Every day, he would go to work dressed impably 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 aparoscopic appendectomy, you¡­you should stille 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 butment; otherwise, why would Director An be the hospital¡¯s model worker? Just the organization of this case file alone was already beyondparison for many others. The test report was neatly torn and ced 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 schr¡ªwith his fair and clean look, his faint stubble, and gold-rimmed ssesplementing 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 untilpared!¡± 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 n 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 rtionships. 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 moring, ¡°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 shing 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 theyout of my ward, and I¡¯ve finally found the reason for my recent difort: I¡¯m currently positioned in the southeast! This ce is shing 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 Bingshengughed 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,ughter 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, ughtering 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 fromughter!¡± 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 tough 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 tenughed, ¡°I just farted¡­¡± Instantly, the surrounding patients were even more ufortable. They wanted tough but didn¡¯t dare, fearing they wouldugh their wounds open, but holding it in was very unpleasant! Chen Bingsheng looked sternly at everyone, ¡°Go ahead andugh. 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 weed its first disciple, a cause for celebration. Chapter 34: Astounding Skills Chapter 34: Astounding Skills Trantor: 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 exin when he suddenly turned and red at Chen Cang, who was holding backughter 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 stimtion of cold air entering the abdominal cavity can cause the intestines to be 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 dpression tube can be removed, and the patient can begin to eat.¡± Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s exnation, 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 wouldugh 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 butugh, sometimes tears mixed withughter, theughter making their wounds hurt¡­ Even the nun in bed eight was amused. Everyone uses smartphones, so naturally they understand the meme Old Chen was ying on, and coupled with Old Chen¡¯s ability tomunicate 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 appendectomyst 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 ableplete 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 thepany 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 hadpletely 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 neer! 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 coagtion; then came the irrigation and the beginning of the abdominal exploration¡­ Effortlessly and without wasting much time, he found the appendix. Good! Herees 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 abination 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 toplete the surgery so smoothly and swiftly! The time¡­ It was almost as short as that taken by Old Chen! Compared to thest 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 in, 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: Almost There Chapter 35: Almost There Trantor: 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 identally remove an extra part? None of that! Yet, being looked at with such a¡­plex expression by Chen Bingsheng was a first for Chen Cang. After the patient was sent out of the operating room, Qin Lele suddenly eximed in amazement, ¡°Impressive, Little Chen, at this rate, you¡¯ll be able to rece 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 thest. 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 butugh. Liu Jian was even more dumbfounded when he came out. Three secondster, the entire operating room burst into uncontrobleughter. If it weren¡¯t for the good sound instion in the operating room, the woman struggling with a difficultbor 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 Leleughed 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 be too cocky and have his tail wagging up to the sky, I need to keep him in check!¡± Afterughing, 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 epting 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 neers. 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 ce, 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 neers.¡± ¡°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 shorings. Frankly speaking, Old Chen was very d 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 indeedmendable. Especially his mental maturity and technique, both of which were very important for a surgeon. But it wasn¡¯t toote 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 be 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 n 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 onceining no matter how hard or tiring it was. Chen Bingsheng himself hade 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 observeparoscopic 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 being home tonight; there¡¯s a meeting. When you get off work, take the kids to the essay tutoring ss.¡± 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: The Blade of the Electro-Knife Chapter 36: The de of the Electro-Knife Trantor: 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 couldplete 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 aparoscope before?¡± An Yanjun asked. Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm, I can use it a bit.¡± An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Okay, then, you¡¯ll assist with theparoscopeter, 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 strangeugh, ¡°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 use 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, asionally 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 awkwardugh, ¡°I actually brought you a gift, but it¡¯s gone now, yeah, sessfully gone!¡± Chen Cang scoffed, ¡°The Dove chocte you brought back from the USst 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 mboyance, 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 howzy 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 aparoscopic appendectomy and a regr appendectomy was quite significant. If a regr appendectomy was like digging a canal, then¡­ aparoscopic 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 inmmation doesn¡¯te into contact with the abdominal wall, and the appendix is removed through the cann, 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 insuftion needle is inserted to begin the infusion of carbon dioxide gas. Yep, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s inting! Before an appendectomy, you first need to create an artificial pneumoperitoneum, also known as the medical version ofparoscopic 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 dyed by medicine! The surgery continues; punching holes and inting both need to go on. After the gas is sufficiently infused, Wang Qian inserts the trocar and begins to navigate the abdominal cavity with theparoscope: right upper, left upper, left lower, pelvis, right lower¡­ This reces the great merit of exploratoryparotomy. At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly finds that his external plugin is also very handy right now! Everywhere theparoscope 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 theparoscope, he could also get detailed information about these organs. For example [Descending colon: green, this vibrant stretch of the descending colon.] [Inmmatory fluid: purulent secretion resulting from appendicitis, rmendation: clean up.] [Appendix: red, Ivin, this is a long-standing chronic appendicitis with purulent secretion, rmendation: excise and clean up.] All under theparoscope, the field of view is apanied by names. Chen Cang is somewhat amazed and filled with admiration. My plugin works so well, doesn¡¯t it? From now on,paroscopy is basically stress-free for me, right? As long as I slowly get used to the procedural flow ofparoscopic operations, everything will be simple, right? Hey! When heaven is about to ce a great responsibility on a man, it always first gives him a plugin to level up. Chen Cang feels he should study diligently andprehend the essence ofparoscopy soon. After all,paroscopic surgery is the mainstream now. What if, on the day of the exam, I have to perform aparoscopic surgery and don¡¯t know how, wouldn¡¯t that be embarrassing? So he holds his breath and observes with concentration. Inparoscopic surgery, they don¡¯t use a scalpel, but a bipr cautery instead, which is used to grasp and cut the mesentery close to the appendix in fullyer. Remember, this cautery is not a static de 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: It’s so hard for me! Chapter 37: It¡¯s so hard for me! Trantor: 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 theparoscope, 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 ying 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 nevere back. Therefore, this requires a keen sense of space and operational awareness. Performing surgery under aparoscope, 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 inmed 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 appendicr 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. Whileparoscopes are useful and convenient, meeting modern needs, they still fall short in many aspects, such as handling details,pared to open surgery. An opening for open surgery wouldn¡¯t be veryrge either¡ªsix to seven centimeters is enough¡ªbut the handling of details is more exacting and tests the doctor¡¯s level. inly speaking, modem technology has turned many surgeons into operators of instruments. With the help of these instruments, they can quickly reach a fairlypetent level. However, to truly strive for perfection, one must rely on thebination of skill and technology. It¡¯s like carving. A modern temte carving machine can quickly carve out a picture. But a master engraver needs some time to carve out a picture. Uponparison, the differences are that ayman 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, congrattions, 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:paroscopy, 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,ryngoscope. 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 ufortable 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 exmation 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 nauseae 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 juste 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 ssic 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 nk! 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: We Look for Doctor Chen Chapter 38: We Look for Doctor Chen Trantor: 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 inplete 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 Xiann 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 rtions are so sensitive these days, it could easily be news or a hot topic. Thinking this, Tian Xiann 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 arge jade Guan Gong on his chest. He asked, ¡°We won¡¯t get up until we see Doctor Chen!¡± Tian Xiann 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 Xiann 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 vite the hospital¡¯s rules, right? It won¡¯t affect public morality, right? And certainly not breaking anyws, right?¡± Tian Xiann was at a loss for words: ¡°It¡¯s not proper! Zhao Huqiu looked up: ¡°When Doctor Chenes, we¡¯ll get up! If he doesn¡¯te today, we¡¯ll sit here all day. Guys, what do you want to eat? Should 1 order takeout? How about hotpot?¡± Tian Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann, 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 rtionship 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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann followed him toward the lobby. Once outside, Tian Xiann 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 Xiann nodded earnestly, ¡°Yes, this is our ER Doctor Chen!¡± Zhao Huqiu shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s not him! Tian Xiann 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 Hospitalst time! 1 remember it clearly!¡±
  • What do you remember, you drank so muchst time, how could you remember!¡±
  • 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 Xiann, ¡°Head nurse, they might be looking for the younger Doctor Chen.¡± Tian Xiann was startled, ¡°Younger Chen? Chang Lina nodded! Tian Xiann 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: Chain Tasks Chapter 39: Chain Tasks Trantor: 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 Xiann, 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 hade 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 Xiann 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 ites 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 hade 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 surroundingckeys 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 be your mother!? This guy is ying 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 drooling down his mouth sshing onto Chen Gang¡¯s white coat¡­ Tian Xiann 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 Xiann 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 cane to the hospital. Exin 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 ept?] Chen Cang was momentarily startled, a chain quest? Does that mean if I ept, 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 cannote 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 juste 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 andplex emotions, returned from the operating room. Hearing themotion, he happened to see this scene, his eyes bulging like a bull¡¯s! ps: [Ding!

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 Xiann 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 ce 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,e 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¡ªepting 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¡¯sdy 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 ying it safe, not getting too close to these ¡°big shots.¡± If something happened, no one woulde 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¡¯trge, 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 vi 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 vi district really is a vi district; thendscaping, 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-madekey before them, with some motorboats docked on it, and ording 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 vi 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 whiteb 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 instrumentster 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 nce. 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 contemtion, 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. Thergest 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: Information on Green Equipment Chapter 41: Information on Green Equipment Trantor: 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 metely? 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 sess didn¡¯te 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 backter.¡± 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 identally 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 p 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 be popr 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 p 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 emergedpletely victorious. Chen Cang heaved a sigh, the lives of the wealthy are indeed colorful and variegated. But¡­ he shouldn¡¯t havee today! He had stepped into a ce 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, andforted 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 popr 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. Missionpletion 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 abackpleting the mission would actually get him green surgical threads! Moreover, there was still one final part to go. Based on experience in games, thest 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 irregr 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 fib, 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 irregrly torn, like jagged cuts which made the suturing quite challenging! The difficulty and limited options in puncturing angles were great constraints. To suture this irregr damage neatly was a daunting task, and because of the irregrity, the greatest challenge was toplete 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, simting 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 nds, demanding that the needle tip be sufficiently sharp. Thus, skin needles are cutting needles, with triangr tips and round bodies, designed for skin suturing. Round needles, on the other hand, are mainly used for soft, easily prable 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! Chapter 42: Need Someone to Help? Chapter 42: Need Someone to Help? Trantor: 549690339 | Moreover! Chen Cang was going to use a round needle and he intended to choose the thinnest type avable. 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 consideredplete 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 arge team. Thest requirement was the need for a perfect design n, 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 sess, wanting to stand out! Both possibilities were usible, 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 pped 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 stic 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 thinkyouck 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, thedy¡¯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 irregrity of the wound, making the difficulty of suturing geometrically more challenging¡­ Therefore!¡± ¡°My approach is to use a circr needle simr 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 sses 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 circr needle for skin suturing? Are you jolting? Do you think the thickness of the skin can be pierced by a circr 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 circr needle at that¡­ It¡¯s difficult for the circr needle to prate due to the skin¡¯s toughness. But the idea is good.¡± ¡°Hmm, the circr 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 onter scar removal treatment after suturing. We are fairly professional when ites to scar treatmentter. 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. Byparison, 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 circr 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 circr 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 bitte, dear readers please excuse me Chapter 43: It’s a bit noisy, everyone out. Chapter 43: It¡¯s a bit noisy, everyone out. Trantor: 549690339 1 Assistant? Chen Cang nodded, of course he needed assistants, and several of them. This irregr 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 verymon 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 ce for them to throw their tantrums. And the senior doctor Qin Xiang who had just spoken smiled and said, ¡°Okay no problem, everyone shoulde 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 sses 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 nce, Chen Cang tossed the schematics onto the table carelessly, and stood up to enter the room. Because that n simply didn¡¯t catch Chen Cang¡¯s eye. After all, could such a npare to ¡°The Eye of Beauty¡±? The difference was not insignificant, it was rather like night and day. After the preparations werepleted, 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 sses, 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 oncepleted, 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 prate? 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 prate the skin, so Chen Cang mped the tail end of the needle with the tweezers. As a result, the operation¡¯s difficulty increased even more! Pration 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 particrly 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 n she had provided. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you following the suturing n 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,pletely disregarding their nned 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 n 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 note to me if something goes wrongter! 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 onees 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.¡± Aftering 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 triangr needle. Under the enhancement of [Beautiful Eyes], Chen Cang¡¯s suturing got better and better, bing increasingly smooth! The two assisting Chen Cang were already stunned by his suturing approach! Chen Cang had truly be 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¡¯mendation. 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 thepliment!¡± After the rinse wasplete, the scenery unfolded before everyone! Chapter 44: A fruitful harvest! Chapter 44: A fruitful harvest! Trantor: 549690339 | Hearing himself praised, Yang Tao naturally felt excited and ted. 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 nced 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 assimte, 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 tobine 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 nced 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 nce, 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 oue, 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 nned 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 ssic. 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 closelyter. 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 waspletely dumbfounded! You¡¯re taking pictures of my girlfriend¡¯s legs and nning 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 pped 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,e 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 ount. Exquisite! Delicate! A work of art. Combined with that long, white leg, Zheng Guotan eximed 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,pounded 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 ced 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 taskpleted: 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: Offered an Olive Branch Chapter 45: Offered an Olive Branch Trantor: 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 manipte 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 thest 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 tryter. 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 andughing, 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 reallying 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 ce, 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 ns 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 ufortable she felt, and upon seeing Yang Taoing 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, butter, like Zhang Zhixin, he entered the stic surgery field. Over the years, he had be 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 tter 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 ns 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 ce 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 considering 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 ce someday!¡± Chapter 46: Chain Quest Completed! Chapter 46: Chain Quest Completed! Trantor: 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 exin myself!¡± So many exnations, President Zheng, your family sure has a lot to ount 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 epted 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 vi After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at a high-endmunity. This was the most expensivemunity 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 Guotane 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-inw.¡± 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 wereid 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 be 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 p issue, and also many factors rted 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 me you whether it¡¯s sessful 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 oue, ept 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 personpared to when he was at the vi. At the vi, 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 timees.¡± 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-inw, 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 capitaling 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 ept it, I¡¯ll feel guilty when you do the suturing for my wife in the future!¡± Chapter 47:I Knew I Wasn’t Just a Vase (Big Chapter, Please Support!) Chapter 47:I Knew I Wasn¡¯t Just a Vase (Big Chapter, Please Support!) Trantor: 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 yed the part of an ordinary person, just a regr 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 inte cafes and y games. No luxury cars or mansions, no yachts or beauties, let alone mistresses; it was apletely different lifestyle. But when he saw that his one-time suturing had earned him an ie 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 hade to ept 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 arge 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 particr skill. The second reward was the Skill Book. Yeah, Chen Cang knew about this thing-it was straightforward, easy to understand at a nce, but he didn¡¯t know what kind of Skill Book it was. With that thought, Chen Cang simply clicked to activate it! [Ding! Activation sessful, 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 sessful! ] [Dialysis Technique: Advanced, Skill Description: Mastered themon 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 be increasingly used in clinical practice these years, and it¡¯s bing more popr. 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 bitme? 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 w. 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! Congrattions, 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 promptsing: [Ding! Mission scroll activated, challenge mission triggered: Generate an Emergency Rescue Mission!] [Ding! Within three hours,plete fifty suturing tasks (skin suturing, tendon suturing, and vessel suturing all eptable), and afterpleting 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: Emergency Rescue Operations Chapter 48: Emergency Rescue Operations Trantor: 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 mostmon three types of chemical element poisoning are: mercury poisoning, hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and methanol poisoning! Each one worse than thest. 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 wee 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 yete to aplete 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 arge 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, inly 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 areing!¡± ¡°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 te, 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 wellplete 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 somewhatrge, 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 avable to help Chen Cang, as all the nurses were upied with emergency care of injured patients. The suturing work had to bepleted 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 Xiann 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 Xiann shouted loudly. This won¡¯t do! There are too many people, we must call for reinforcements, Tian Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 Xiann¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Patient number 5, follow me!¡± After Chen Cang changed the dressings, he clicked on theputer call button, and immediately the next patient came in, as for medical records, who had time to attend to those! Three minutester! ¡°Please patient number 6 report to treatment room number 1 for a dressing change.¡± Three minutester! 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 Xiann was shocked, Chen Gang¡¯s speed was incredibly fast! Chapter 49: Mission Accomplished! Chapter 49: Mission Aplished! Trantor: 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 minutester, 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 cab, quickly got up and rushed out. ¡°Head Nurse, Doctor Chen in room one needs suture kits, fifty of them!¡± Tian Xiann, 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 ny kits, divided among three treatment rooms, thirty for each. After Li Jia came in, she told Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, the head nurse ced 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 sessful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10¡­] [Ding! Suturing sessful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10¡­] About an hourter, 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 Xiann¡¯s anxious heart slowed down a bit. Upon seeing Li Jiae out, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Li Jia replied, ¡°Head Nurse, room one has run out of suture kits!¡± Tian Xiann 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 exined, ¡°No, Head Nurse, Doctor Chen didn¡¯t waste any, they are really all used up!¡± Tian Xiann 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 Xiann¡¯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 Xiann 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 Xiann 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 hourter! After Chen Cang had used up all the suture packs, that same system notification sounded again! [Ding! Task Scroll Missionpleted! Suturespleted 50/50, Reward received: 1.3 Skill Points, 2.300 Experience Points, 3. RMB +500.] Chen Cang was startled,pleted? He turned to ask Li Jia, ¡°How many sutures are done in total now?¡± Li Jia looked at the information registered on theputer, ¡°65.¡± Chen Cang asked, ¡°How many patients left?¡± Li Jia checked the information on theputer, ¡°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 ufortable, 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 red at Chen Cang, ¡°Even Qin Yue, a youngdy, doesn¡¯tin of fatigue. You¡¯re a young man, aren¡¯t you ashamed!¡± Chen Cang just sheepishly smiled without any exnation. When Tian Xiann 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 Xiann 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 youngdy. In the ER, you need to look after the femalerades.¡± Upon hearing this, Tian Xiann defended Chen Cang, ¡°Director, you¡¯re ming 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 Xiann 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. [Ding! Favorability from high-ranking NPC Li Baoshan +3.] Chapter 50:I Can Do Peritoneal Dialysis! Chapter 50:I Can Do Peritoneal Dialysis! Trantor 549690339 At this moment, inside the resuscitation room, all eight emergency beds were upied with patients! Theyy 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 Baoshane 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 theb 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 lighta.¡± Li Baoshan: ¡°I¡¯ll ask other hospitals if they have any dialysis machines avable!¡± 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 upied! What to do? Li Baoshan was bing 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 rtives 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 ced 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 iparable 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 poprized 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 inmmation within the abdominal cavity due to contamination, gastrointestinal inmmation, catheter-rted 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¡¯ming 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: Show Off Skills (Part 1) Chapter 51: Show Off Skills (Part 1) Trantor: 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 aplex 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 constantlymunicating with relevant departments on how to carry out rescue operations in an orderly manner. A few minutester, 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 nced 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 cked 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 ssmate 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 avable who knows how. An ER doctor ims to know, but I¡¯m still not at ease. I¡¯m nning 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 dy!¡± 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 quiterge, 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 sessful! 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 sma in the capiries 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 recement 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 sess rate of peritoneal dialysis, and an excellent catheter insertion procedure can significantly reduce adverse reactions of peritoneal dialysis surgery. There are twomon methods for peritoneal catheterization:paroscopic and open surgical cement. And now, Chen Cang had only one option before him, which was the open surgical catheter cement. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t know how to performparoscopic catheter insertion, but because there was noparoscope avable at the moment! As Hao Xuliang said, since this facility had not yet been fully developed, all theparoscopes 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 cement 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 toorge; essentially from below the chest to above the groin had to be disinfected, and even more so to the midaxiry 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 mainlyparoscopic catheter insertion because it carries less risk, whereas open surgical catheter cement demands high surgical skill from the operator, is more prone to infection, causesrger incisions, and is not conducive to recovery, among many other factors. But! It is undeniable that an excellent surgeon prefers open surgical catheter cement because it is precise! What does this mean? Ifparoscopic and traditional surgeries were scored, open surgical catheter cement would have a perfect score of too, whileparoscopic catheter cement could only achieve 70 at best. Traditional surgery can be perfect, whileparoscopic surgery is fundamentally judged on passing the bar! ps: There¡¯s more toe, keep flipping through the pages, yes, that¡¯s right! Chapter 52: Show Off Skills (Part 2) Chapter 52: Show Off Skills (Part 2) Trantor: 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 mps 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 onlyst 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 cement, 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 mp 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 discement or adhesion of the catheter! Afterpleting 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 cing 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 sess! Chen Cang took a deep breath. He was somewhat nervous! Not because the surgery was particrly difficult, but because the procedures were so delicate that they required his fullmand to avoidplications. Every step was tense and exhrating! 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 cement 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, ¡°Sess!¡± 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 cement, and a firm grasp on the key points of peritoneal dialysis. This catheter cement is a standard case of surgical anatomical cement, 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 cement. 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 cement, 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 ted; 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 be 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 cement, and this time Li Baoshan took up the role of the assistant voluntarily. This time it went smoothly, actually, the catheter cement was not difficult; it only seemed challenging because it hadn¡¯t been done before. But the three of them coordinated perfectly! With the catheter cementplete, they could now proceed to dialysis. The cement for the two patients waspleted, and the mood among those present gradually started to rx. 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 thergest 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 ce bore the lion¡¯s share of responsibility for the rescue work, and the entire hospital¡¯s emergency department was, in fact, thergest 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 red 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 revtion, ¡°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:I will! Chapter 53:I will! Trantor: 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 yournguage. The hospital has a unified process for medication; it¡¯s my responsibility, not my privilege! The hospital has rules and regtions; 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 epting kickbacks for medications? But you can¡¯t get medications delivered to the hospital? As a vice president, do you not even establish emergency ns 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 sry 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 theints 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 session, but there was not a single one avable! 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 cing 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 arge 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 hisst 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 uponpletion 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 deration, 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 heartyugh upon hearing this, ¡°Good, good! Okay, then Doctor Chen, if you have time, would youe over? Much appreciated.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡± As for the peritoneal dialysis here, it only needed to be done ording 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 arge 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,e 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 wellst 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: The Role of Dialysis Fluid Chapter 54: The Role of Dialysis Fluid Trantor: 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 therge 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 be 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 rtively good dialysis effect. The mainponents of the dialysis solution are sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sodiumctate, and glucose, which maintain a rtively bnced 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¡¯sb 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 ¡°iprehensible 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 be 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 minutester, 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 ording 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 muchter 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 poisoningbined with increased heart stress can have quite serious consequences. And glucosees 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 thest person¡¯s peritoneal dialysis solution, a medical staff member ran in! ¡°Director, patient in bed 5 has woken up!¡± Wang Xiangjun waspletely 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 sessfully 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 sote¡­ 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 thates 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: Super Skills! Chapter 55: Super Skills! Trantor: 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! Congrattions, you have obtained Wang Xiangjun¡¯s skill: Manual Reduction.¡± ¡°Ding! Manual Reduction: Master-level, with special effects: 1. Pam relief; 2. elerated 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 ttered! Chen Cang felt a bit inted! 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 toe 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, rxing in chairs eating fruit. Hmm, the fruit basket sent by Zhao Huqiu. Seeing Chen Cang return, Li Baoshan led the apuse with a big smile! ¡°Wee back, hero!¡± ¡°Wee, wee!¡± 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 intoughter. 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 specialmendation 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 rm for us. Going forward in our work, we must identify our weaknesses and shorings, 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 gettingte, 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¡±st 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 somerge 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 nned to con Wang Qian intoing 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. Afterst 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 fromst 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 Qianughed and said, ¡°Cang Er, you really made a good impression in front of the bigwigs yesterday. Plus, the hospital leaders are sure tomend 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 pirs of our city¡¯s emergency medical services!¡± ¡°But among them, Director Wang Xiangjun holds the highest status, yes, status and identity!¡± Chen Cang, ying along, asked, ¡°Why is that?¡± Wang Qian: ¡°Director Wang Xiangjunes 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! Chapter 56: It¡¯s been approved! Trantor: 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 rtionships between people only happen when you are on equal footing; otherwise they won¡¯tst. As the time to change shifts approached, everyone gradually arrived in the office. Zhang Shu nced at Chen Cang and nodded slightly, acknowledging that if it hadn¡¯t been for Chen Cangst night, the oue could have been very grim. ¡°You worked hardst night, Xiao Chen!¡± Chen cang smiled, ¡°Teacher zhang, I just got lucky, like a blind cat finding a dead rat.¡± Chen Bingshengalso happened toe 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 imbnce. Seeing everyone singing praises for Chen Cang, Wang Yong felt ufortable 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 bing 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 de, feeling injured. After all, there were only so many positions; inly speaking, it was all aboutpetition. 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 workst night. With our collective efforts, the rescue mission was sessfullypleted. Each one of you present is a hero!¡± ¡°But, yesterday¡¯s event also serves as a warning bell for us. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis aremon treatments in clinical practice. As emergency doctors, we are truly battling with death. Every new skill we acquire adds ayer 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. Taskpletion 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 be 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 andplex. 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 toplete 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 sessfullypleted the rescue mission.¡± ¡°Of course, in this rescue effort, there were quite a few colleagues who performed exceptionally well. Therefore, our hospital has decided tomend 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 thest line of defense in people¡¯s health activities. Therefore, we should improve the treatment of these junior doctors and give themmendations. In terms of talent, we should not only attract but retain them.¡± ¡°Our department has just freed up a position. Among usst night, Chen Cang from the emergency department stitched up 65 patients and used peritoneal dialysis to sessfully 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 beforest 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 regrized. 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 aparison. The winner will naturally get the position.¡± Chapter 57: The Power of the Special Training Card Chapter 57: The Power of the Special Training Card Trantor: 549690339 | Hospitals are also a smallmunity, where Qin Xiaoyuan is the dean, and Tan Liguo is the secretary. Given that hospitals are public service units, interpersonal rtionships are ratherplex. As the helmsmen of the hospital, their rtionship 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 bes a point of contention between them. Qin Xiaoyuan emerges from the field of internal medicine and ordingly, ces 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 prehensive strength¡±petition. 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 sry 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 rtively 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 amodation, representing a super cheapbor 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 willpete this time, all being surgeons. Thispetition 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 amodate 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 bing increasingly satisfied with Chen Cang. He sighed and said, ¡°This was originally set up for you, I didn¡¯t expect it toe to this situation, and moreover, thepetition 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.¡± ¡°Thepetition 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. Thepetition 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 ce 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 willprehensively 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 skillfullypleted the preparatory work, ready to make the incision marks! Marking the incision line, disinfecting¡­ Opening the abdomen, the skin¡­ the fatyer¡­ the peritoneum¡­ The surgery began step by step, and Chen Cang felt it was going smoothly. The first operation waspleted. [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,mon cases like malrotation, iplete rotation, iplete fixation of the ascending colon, reverse position, and even physiological shifts like discement 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 ws? Following the hints, Chen Cang kept adjusting. The purpose of adjusting the incision was to improve the precision of the surgery and prevent idents. Moreover, he realized a good incision greatly aided in the suturing, especially whenbined with his ¡°beautiful eyes,¡± which could even make the suture scars almost invisible. Such a simple appendectomy, with such profound knowledge! Chapter 58: Cut Open, Negative Review! Chapter 58: Cut Open, Negative Review! Trantor: 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,pletely full! Acute appendicitis, chronic appendicitis, suppurative appendicitis¡­ an entire package deal of appendicitis¡­ However, the harvest was quite plentiful! [Ding! Congrattions, 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 urate 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 pped 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¡¯lle with me. You¡¯ll perform the surgeries, and I¡¯ll help point out your shorings.¡± ¡°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 andforted, ¡°Boss, don¡¯t you think I performed the appendectomy surgeries quite well?¡± Chen Bingsheng red 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 shorings 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 thest 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 thest 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 olddy. 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 aboutbor, 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 nonpliant medical records. The medical insurance department was a magical ce. 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 nonpliant in your medical records, then deduct money in the thousands, three or five thousand for one record. Terrifying! Rtions 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 nced 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 bepeted 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 rted 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 de 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: Disappointed at Someone’s Failure to Meet Expectations Chapter 59: Disappointed at Someone¡¯s Failure to Meet Expectations Trantor: 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 vige 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 immediatelyughed. I gave myself 95 points, and you give me seventy or eighty, you kid. Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help butugh 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 nces 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 urate, there was no change in force in the subcutaneous fat area. You have to know that the sticity 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 havepletely¡­ 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 shorings. 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 bes very difficult for senior attending physicians to improve their skills any further. Because your habits have changed you; the surgical maneuvers be greasy,¡± and surgical habits umte 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 bes particrly 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, bing 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 sh of insight streak through his mind! Instantly, a feeling of rity 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. ps: Thanks to the friend for the 10,000 Starting Point coins reward, for bing the first helmsman of this book.

Chapter 60: 8 Stars 8 Diamonds Appendectomy Chapter 60: 8 Stars 8 Diamonds Appendectomy Trantor: 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 inprehension, you¡¯d feel a sense offort 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¡¯sments and exnations make you realize the solution, that feeling of piercing through the fog is really exhrating! 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 shorings. Chen Gang¡¯s incisivements 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, contemting a serious question: how had Chen Cang noticed that? Turning around, he saw Zhang Zhixin with an expression full of delight, his face osciting 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 earlierments, 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 zed 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,bining my many years of experience and insights, I actually felt my skills improving subtly. I¡¯ll discuss it with you during the surgeryter, 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 surgeryter; 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? Myments were precise and sharp, and if you can¡¯t learn the essence and use 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 nkly 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 disying 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 throughter.¡± 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 ced appendices, not to mention a regr one, which he was more familiar with than his own hands. Chen Gang¡¯s operation was very ordinary and simple, yet within that simplicityy 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¡¯splete 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 amonce appendectomy had even made Liu Jian halt and watch for so long. In the end, it came to skin closure, and Zhang Zhixin suddenlyughed, ¡°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 shed 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 eximed, ¡°That¡¯s a beautiful closure! Old Zhang, aren¡¯t you in medical aesthetics? Howe I feel it¡¯s more beautiful than what you sew?¡± ¡°Smack! Smack! Smack!¡± It was as if Zhang Zhixin heard three loud ps echoing beside his ear, resoundingly clear! Recalling Chen Gang¡¯s earlierment that his closure was somewhat ugly¡­ Zhang Zhixin felt ufortable. And Chen Bingsheng also sighed, looking at Old Zhang with regret and constion, ¡°Actually¡­ you¡¯re only just a bit off.¡± Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Bingsheng and, seeing him offeringfort, 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 andmanding 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. Trantor: 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 toe 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¡¯lle 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 stretchedzily: ¡°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 bitpetitive: ¡°Young Chen, remember toe 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 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 toplete 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 simr to a USB sh 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 juste 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 apetition the day after tomorrow. Let him practice more. If he passes, Zhou will be a full-fledged member of our department. As one of us, you should help out young Zhou more!¡± Zhang Zhixinughed 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 ce. Zhang Zhixin attempted to feign ignorance, ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s all one hospital, after all. We often coborate with the ER on surgeries. Besides, Chen and I are old ssmates. 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,ply 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 particrly resented that thetter¡¯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 manipted 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 ns in his heart. Given time, he would certainly repay the favor! Chapter 62: When water comes, soil covers! Chapter 62: When wateres, soil covers! Trantor: 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 getsrgerter 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 ufortable 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,fortable 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 ount with China Construction Bank ending in 0936 has been sessfully opened¡­¡± ount opened sessfully? 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 minutester, 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 rainst night, the weather was refreshingly clear. Just as he entered the hospital, the system notification sounded: [Ding! Daily task plete tasks for ten consecutive days to receive a special daily task): Independentlyplete five appendectomies. Taskpletion 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 avable. However¡­ this daily task is indeed a bit challenging. Independentlyplete 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 superiormand 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 Iplete the task? Having encountered such a task, Chen Cang really wanted toplete it. There was apetition 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 nces. 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,pleting the first pre-hospital step by moving patients who need it to different departments. So, upon hearing this, people underneath immediately disyed their displeasure, especially Shi Na, who had many such patients under her care. As aprehensive department, the emergency room can handle both serious and minor illnesses, and emergency doctors often treat the emergency department as a regr ward, frequently admitting minor surgeries to increase their ie. These minor surgeries are basically something that everyone can do and are traditionally not heavily regted. But now with the medical insurance and records departmenting 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 trulycked 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 Cangpletely 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 thepetition 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 coldugh. I¡¯m afraid your calctions are wrong, and your ns wille 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 session, 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 alreadypetent. 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 indeedmendable. Hearing Chen Gang¡¯s response, Li Baoshan felt a bit reassured, d 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 toplete his task, but more importantly¡­ he had found himself a good leader! Chapter 63: Show Off a Skill Chapter 63: Show Off a Skill Trantor: 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 notrge, with a poption 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 exining 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,e inside to talk.¡± The three of them arrived at the office without any formalities, as Li Baoshan was a regr visitor who frequently performed surgeries here. So Duan Bo got straight to the point: ¡°Director Li, I heard that you¡¯reing 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: ¡°Wee 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 be 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 hourter, 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 arge screen for everyone to see clearly. Meanwhile, Duan Bo donned surgical attire to assist as well. Li Baoshan nced 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. Eachyer 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 appendicr 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, apuse 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 incitedparisons! [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 mp! Everyone was stunned! What was he doing? A mistake? Beginners often make one error: ack 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 erging the incision! This left everyone dumbfounded. What are you trying to pull off? If it were aparoscopic 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 nce, 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 particrly popr in the surgical academicmunity! 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: Throwing Knife? Throwing Knife! Chapter 64: Throwing Knife? Throwing Knife! Trantor: 549690339 | Laparoscopic appendix removal surgery has its iparable advantages, but over the years, the shorings ofparoscopic surgery have also be increasingly apparent. Duringparoscopic surgery, manyplications and idents can arise due to the puncture of theparoscope and the insuftion 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 withrge 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 useparoscopes 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 couldpletely 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 regr appendix removal or aparoscopic 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 forrge 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 mostmon 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 be 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 thest knot was tied, Apuse suddenly arose around him! It continued on and on! The patient lying on the bed was even more thrilled and happy, thinking, ¡°Such vigorous apuse 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 skillspleted, reward: improved new technique for small incision appendectomy.] [Ding! The new technique for small incision appendectomy can effectively enhance the safety of the surgery andpensates 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 shorings! 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 oues 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: Mr. Chen Can Do More Than Just Appendectomies 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, amodation, 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 simplyid 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, asmon 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 toe 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 tomunicate further regarding the timing.¡± Duan Bo eagerly replied, ¡°Of course, we¡¯ll follow Doctor Chen¡¯s schedule and discuss it when the timees.¡± ¡°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 Boplimented him with augh, ¡°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 youe 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 ovee 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 bing less and less courageous!¡± The two of them conversed back and forth, never at a loss for words. [Ding! Daily taskpleted, special reward obtained: Medical English Skill (Advanced)] [Medical English, Advanced, Special Effect: Fluent Oral Expression.] As the mission waspleted, a flood of information surged into Chen Gang¡¯s mind, suddenly endowing him with countless memories¡­ English vocabry- specialized pharmaceutical terms¡­ The only difference between medical English and general English is the abundance of professional terminology! Chen Cang asionally read ¡°The Lancet,¡± but generally, it took him a long time to read an article, as the words were tooplex, and he could not recognize them all. If you use Youdao to trante, it would not only be inurate, 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, afterpleting the task ¡°Show Off a Skill¡±, he acquired a new surgical technique, ¡°Minimally Invasive Appendectomy¡±. This thing represented a brand-new surgical method, which couldpensate for many of the limitations and shorings of the previous minimally invasive appendectomy. Common minimally invasive appendectomy indeed has many advantages and is popr, but it has a significant w 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 ces 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 avable 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 thepetition! 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 thepetition. Reward forpletion: 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 inspectorse, 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 galldder and biliary tract are also quitemon. Inparison, appendectomy is just recurrent appendicitis surgery. As apetent 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: The match begins Li Baoshan led Chen Cang to the operating room, saying as they walked, ¡°Today¡¯spetition 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 thepetition 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 sses, 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 waspeting 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, unbing of a surgeon. Even thispetition 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 amodated 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 andplete a liver transnt surgery. He was also the vice-chairman of the Dongyang Province Hepatobiliary Surgery Association. Provincial Hospital No. 2 was not arge 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 grandpetition and had few rules, simply involving expertsparing 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 tter and whom to tter, 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 cleaningdy. 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 augh. Ever since bing 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 waspletely 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 keratinocytemunity? Or human body keratinocyte hypersia 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¡¯sprehensive 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 andughing as they waited for the surgery to start. They were all well-acquainted from Dongyang Province. Therge screen was split into three so that each procedure could be seen very clearly. The group started chatting andughing: ¡°Director Liu, the People¡¯s Hospital of the province is getting better and better this year. At the hepatobiliary surgery conferencest month, I remember you even invited the father of hepatobiliary surgery, Elder Wu!¡± ¡°Haha, Elder Wu is really nice. Actually, at more than ny 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 thispetition. In fact, the hospitals often coborate and interact with each other. Arge operation requires several veteran generals to take charge, and they are quite familiar with each other from private rtions. 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 theirmentster.¡± ¡°These young doctors are all quite good, but having the opportunity to receivements from you experts today is also good fortune for them. I hope each expert will not hesitate to impart their knowledge.¡± The crowd nodded andughed together: ¡°Of course, of course!¡± Chapter 67: The Leader Monster Appears! Chapter 67: The Leader Monster Appears! Trantor: 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 apanied 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 simr 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 intion 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 apetition, 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 nheless. Chen Cang approached the boy, who was visibly nervous. Seeing Chen Cange 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 minutester, 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, inmmation can easily spread and umte, affecting nearby organs such as the ureter, kidneys, pelvic blood vessels, causing very seriousplications. 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¡¯sck 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 youngd is decent!¡± ¡°Number two is also good, but there¡¯s a bit of a gappared 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 ayperson, the verdict would have seemed obvious at a nce! 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 nce 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, sinceing 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 nning 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 temtes¡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 theb 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 simr 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 inmmation. The incision was notrge, 4cm. This was something Chen Cang had considered; too small an incision could lead to mistakes, but at 4cm, neither toorge nor too small, it was enough for Chen Cang! After cutting open, a sudden stench wafted through the air! Chen Gang¡¯s eyes suddenly disyed 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 inmmatory 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¡­ inmmatory spread would have beenpletely detrimental to recoveryter 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 red 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 wille 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: Leader Monster Explodes Big Time! Chapter 68: Leader Monster Explodes Big Time! Trantor: 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 simr 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 ipetent? 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 waspleted 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 oue was clear! The five of them nodded in agreement, not expecting that a simplepetition 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 bothparoscopic surgery and traditional surgery whilebining 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 simr conditions, we should follow the principle of safety first and decisively make arger 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 aparoscope. 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! Congrattions 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! Congrattions 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 unexined 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 vige, then that extraperitoneal ectopic appendix was unequivocally a newbie vige boss! A boss must have the prestige of a boss, and Chen Cang could ept 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 be 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 isplicated, and it¡¯s easy to misdiagnose. Discovering it early on can lead to effective treatment preparation and reduce and avoidplications 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: Medicine Does Not Allow for Show-Off Skills! Chapter 69: Medicine Does Not Allow for Show-Off Skills! Trantor: 549690339 The surgery began, all eyes were on it! in the office outside, several people who were eagerly chatting suddenly heard Liu Siqi exim, ¡°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 andughing instead. It wasn¡¯t that they weren¡¯t serious, it was just that this group of old hands only needed a few nces at amon 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 nced 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 skinyer byyer, 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 nning 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. Thest 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 ites 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 theparoscopic appendectomy, suppurative appendicitis is a clear difficulty. Thetest medical guidelines forparoscopic 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 mped 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 erging the field of view for the surgery. Chen Gang¡¯s operation proceeded wlessly! 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 eximed 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, cing ¡°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 regainposure 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 moreplicated. 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? s¡­ 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 recoveryter 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: Internal Troubles and External Threats Chapter 70: Internal Troubles and External Threats Trantor: 549^0339 | Exactly, thest 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 wasplete! Job well done! Brilliantly spectacr! Liu Siqi couldn¡¯t help but p his thigh. It was still so elegant! However, thinking that such talent couldn¡¯t be recruited under hismand made him feel a bit regretful. But there will be other days ahead, plenty of time. After all, the tform 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 butugh. 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 ipetent, 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 be a strong yer. 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 thisd, I was a bit surprised. I know you quite well, so let me give you somements.¡± ¡°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 stabilitypared to two years ago!¡± ¡°Being a doctor is exactly that, constantly honing yourself, doing every small task well,pleting every surgery, and suturing every wound. You¡¯ve done well, you¡¯ve made progress these two years.¡± But¡­ your shorings 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 be 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 surgerycks soul? Your every move is too rigid,cking a flexibility. Actually, you have a clear w when you operate, which is your response when faced with sudden inmmatory secretions¡­ It¡¯s because your ability to adapt iscking. You probablyck 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 ofmenting among themselves. Seeing that nobody wanted to givements, 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 urately grasped the presence of an ectopic appendix outside of the peritoneum, really dazzled all of us¡­; the second surgery, yourparoscopic 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 intoughter, 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 ce!¡± 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 ce? They were clearly tempting Chen Cang! Using the might of theirrge enterprises, they wanted to lure Chen Cang away! Thinking this, Hao Xuliang hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, now let me announce the results. First ce: Chen Cang, too points; second ce, Zhou Xiaodong, 90 points; third ce, 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, ording to the usual practice, the administrative staff¡¯s efficiency, and following the procedural regtions¡­ the earliest announcement would be made next week. But¡­ Hao Xuliang was scared! He feared that if he dyed, 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 nning to resign, to leave this ce.¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand, ¡°Why?¡± Li Shijianughed, ¡°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 Shijianughed and walked away. Chen Cang was taken aback. Working for Xianbei? What¡¯s that about? ps: I wrote thisst night on the train, I didn¡¯t check, sorry for any typos, I¡¯ll correct themter. 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 be longer¡­ Haha, thanks to ¡°Brother ¡®Seek Not Progress, Think of You''¡± for the 10,000 reward, bing the first Hall Master of this book. Thank you, I¡¯ll add an extra chapter for you when the book goes live. As for the liveunch¡­ I¡¯m not clear either, I¡¯ll strive to have as much free content as possible. How about we go live in November? What do you all think? Chapter 71: The Task of Apprenticing Chapter 71: The Task of Apprenticing Trantor: 549690339 | Ding! Daily taskpleted, reward obtained: Advanced Galldder Removal Surgery.] Upon hearing the notification, Chen Cang immediately felt a surge of joy! Receiving galldder removal surgery as a reward, how could he not be happy? However, just as Chen Cang was about to im his reward, the system¡¯s prompt sounded again. He realized¡­ He had gotten excited a bit too early¡­ [Galldder 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! Galldder removal surgery is somewhat different from appendix removal surgery. These years,paroscopic cholecystectomy has be the ¡°gold standard¡± for treating galldder stones, and open surgery is only used as a remedy when urate surgery cannot be performedparoscopically. Who would have thought that a galldder removal surgery woulde with the skill ofparoscopic 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 galldder removal surgery now, you really can¡¯t make it in a big hospital, whereparoscopic cholecystectomy has be 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,e 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 tter 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 urate 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 pped 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 uracy?¡± ¡°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 andcked 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 in 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 himughed. 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 thest 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 nces. 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 revtion, everyone pped 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 ssics, seek a distinguished mentor, and gain extensive clinical experience! Now, the appearance of Qian Liangid out a new magnificent path before Chen Cang! Chapter 72: If I become old and ugly, will you still want me? Chapter 72: If I be old and ugly, will you still want me? Trantor: 549690339 | The medicalmunity 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 bes 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 particrly enchanting! Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and chose to ept 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 sses, and asked with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You seem anxious. Have the resultse 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 thepetition, 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 dy, 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, nning in his heart. After quite some time¡­ He picked up the phone and dialed Li Baoshan¡¯s number. ¡°Director Li, do you have time toe to the office? I have something to discuss with you.¡± Competition ispetition, 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¡¯smon for doctors to procrastinate with their records, Chen Cang doesn¡¯t have the habit of dying. He goes to bed early, wakes up early, andpletes 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 hase to submitst 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 dischargedst 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,e 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 stayte 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 ssmates, 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 ssmates 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 copse 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 sessful 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 rxed, 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 thepetition and be a permanent employee. Chapter 73: Double Happiness Comes Knocking Chapter 73: Double Happiness Comes Knocking Trantor: 549690339 Wang Qian felt a tad awkward, so he tried to change the subject. ¡°1 wonder how Cang Er did in thepetition 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 ite 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 thepetition¡­ 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 ufortable. 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¡¯spetitiveness 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 toe 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 thepetition 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 Xiann was all smiles as she looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Little Chen, congrattions, your position issue is resolved. The finance department just asked me to confirm your basic information; nothing has changed, right?¡± The moment Tian Xiann¡¯s words rang out, the ce fell silent! Chen Cang¡¯s confirmation was secured! Then, the people around suddenly buzzed with excitement! Wang Qian mored, ¡°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, opportunitiese to those who are prepared. If Chen Cang hadn¡¯t stepped forward during the chemical nt explosion, to save lives and perform meritoriously, perhaps this opportunity wouldn¡¯t havee. Moreover, in this surgicalpetition, 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, congrattions Chen Cang on sessfully bing a regr staff member!¡± ¡°The other doctors preparing for the contract examination should really give it their all now, after all, you¡¯ve suddenly got one lesspetitor, 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 be a regr staffer, he won¡¯t bepeting with us, isn¡¯t that like having one lesspetitor? At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system prompt: [Ding! Li Baoshan¡¯s expectation missionplete, considering you¡¯ve sessfully transitioned to a regr staff position, judged as taskpletion 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 sessful, 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 nning.] Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, then his eyes gleamed. Poison Recognition! This is some good stuff! In the emergency department, the mostmon 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! Havingpleted 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 thest 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 ns, but you must also have excellent diagnostic abilities. Happy! When double happinesses, 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 afterpleting the tasks these past few days, continuously mizing 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 apanied her, virtually all the male doctors from the department were there. It was generally an asion 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: Such a pretty girl, talking nonsense! Chapter 74: Such a pretty girl, talking nonsense! Trantor: 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 olddy with a constant string ofints! 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 iing 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 maic as possible, ¡°Hello, may I help you?¡± The caller indeed had a very mature anddylike 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¡¯lle and pick him up.¡± Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, ¡°Sister-inw? Well, yes, Teacher Chen is with me here.¡± ¡°Um¡­ Sister-inw, you don¡¯t need toe 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 changedpletely, the look in his eyes almost made Chen Cang cry. Those eyes were filled withplexity, 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 residentialplex, next to the security room. This was a high-end residentialplex developed by Vanke in Anyang City; there were no small units in the entireplex. A single apartment would cost several million yuan. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t realized Chen was so wealthy. When the woman saw the care to a stop, she approached, nced at Chen Cang: ¡°Thanks for your effort, Little Chen.¡± Chen Cang quickly smiled, ¡°Not at all, sister-inw.¡± 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 Cangid 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 sry 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 sry 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 tform, 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 be 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 sleepingte at night makes getting up the next day as painful as ughtering 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 stic surgery studio, it wasn¡¯t yet eight o¡¯clock, but the staff were already in ce. At the reception, three Misses transformed by Director Zhang were already wearing their uniforms, disying ¡°products¡± on the table up front. From a distance, they were dazzling, the professional suits¡¯ clever designbined 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 arger 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! Congrattions 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 iste, sorry! Chapter 75: The Profitable Industry! Chapter 75: The Profitable Industry! Trantor: 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,pleting the task shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Chen Cang now pays quite a bit of attention to his daily tasks because he spectes that as long as he can continuouslyplete the daily tasks, special time periods might trigger special tasks, like the ten-day taskst time. So, no matter what, one should still try their best toplete 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 mostmonly used double eyelid surgery is the embedding method. It¡¯s also the method most epted 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 stic surgery, the most valuable step is often before the surgery itself, which is drawing the lines. The hands of a stic 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 stic 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 otosties, including tympanic membrane repair and cosmetic ear surgeries.¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Teacher Zhang, what are you good at?¡± Zhang Zhixinughed heartily, ¡°Do I even need to say? With so many living examples in our hospital, can¡¯t you tell?¡± Chen Cang pped his forehead, okay then! I get it! They¡¯re disyed 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 imnts and autologous fat transnts, each with different prices. For artificial imnts, the cheapest ones start from over forty thousand, and the expensive ones are boundless. There was a rich guyst time who used hyaluronic acid as the imnt 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 ofborers 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 ck tech research center? Too damn expensive! Only an idiot would do such a thing! Two million¡­ While Chen Cang stayed shocked, Zhang Zhixin wasughing, ¡°Do you know? Although hyaluronic acid has great effects, it has one major w: 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 yed 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 imnts have be almost indistinguishable in feel from human tissue. Moreover, the price is rtively 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 cement 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: Are These Joey Wong’s Eves? Chapter 76: Are These Joey Wong¡¯s Eves? Trantor: 549690339???????? ¡ã? * Chen Cang held the needle holder in his hand, carefully lifted the eyelid, applied slight force with the needle tip, and instantly prated 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 beforeing 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 maniption: 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 professionalpetencies while in school and typically have stronger professional skills, but they are also more restricted in their specialty, particrly 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 be 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 oue and could even lead to unpredictableplications, 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 seeded! 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. Uponpleting the suturing from point a to b, it signified the sess of the first step, and Chen Cang continued with subsequent procedures. After about half an hour, the surgery wasplete! 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 shorings 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 ident!¡± 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 ss 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 inhtion. ¡°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 sunsses 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 ce, 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 rtions for profit. Without rity 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 sunsses 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: Dual Tasks, No Limits! Chapter 77: Dual Tasks, No Limits! Trantor: 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 olddy 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 stic surgery on her eyes. Xiao Tianhua felt she was quite decent-looking; the only w 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 rmended to Zhixin stic 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 stic 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. Simrly, 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 urate reproduction of Joey Wong¡¯s. But¡­ These eyes. Really depended on whose face they were on. But¡­ how to exin 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 ofpletion.] A double quest? I must ept it. Chen Cang stepped forward and faced the imposing Xiao Tianhua, ¡°Sister Xiao, please calm down first.¡± Xiao Tianhua red at Chen Cang, ready to retort with scorn, but after a nce¡­ 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 youpletely, 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 oue. 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 ept 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 itter. When the timees, 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 ratherrge, her skin was dark, and she had a big nose,rge 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 justugh off when it¡¯s all said and done? This big sister was bold enough to do something that disturbs public order like sshing 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 stic 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 ss wall with a flood of emotions. Then he looked up at the second floor. His heart was a mix ofplexity. Some bewilderment. Some regrets. Some moved feelings. Some remorse. But most of all¡­ envy. It¡¯s been over an hour now, howe 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: My Beauty, Only You Understand! Chapter 78: My Beauty, Only You Understand! Trantor: 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 andugh 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 worth over a billion, she naturally had a mental strength that wasn¡¯tparable to ordinary people. But with all theughter 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 exin. 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 reallyplement 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 entuate your facial strengths, mitigate the weaknesses, and make your face more distinctive! Making it look morefortable.¡± ¡°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 wealthydy 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 stic 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 Cangughed, ¡°Sister Xiao is amazing. You are now one of An Yang City¡¯s entrepreneurs, a true sess.¡± ¡°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, disying various pieces of information. The ¡°Eyes of Beauty¡± system started automatically, and the screen in front of Chen Cang seemed to be 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 toplement 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 inte 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 ss 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 sessfully 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¡¯vee 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 nce 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 stic surgeon is to design the desired appearance. Most people undergo stic surgery based on temtes of celebrities or a few fixed molds, so the oues 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 stic surgeon, wouldn¡¯t you be incredibly sessful, 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 thest. 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.st night, a group of people was moring to rip up tickets¡­ I was so scared¡­ The policeman, busy all night, a dayter¡­ 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: Resorting to Money at the Slightest Disagreement? Chapter 79: Resorting to Money at the Slightest Disagreement? Trantor: 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 me 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 ount 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 stic 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 wealthydies. After all¡­ The friends of a wealthydy are wealthydies. And in the stic 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 richdies 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 sessful, it would truly be all gain and no harm! It could catapult the business of Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital to a whole new level. Although Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital is rtively 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 stic surgery hospitals and some local ones, like Annie stic Surgery and Xiya stic 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 stic 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 nned 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 nkly 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. Taskpletion 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, afterprehensive 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 thoroughparison. The two busied themselves the entire afternoon. Without performing a single surgery, they finally developed a systematic n. That is, a professional stic surgery n! Chen Cang¡¯s drawings were just the general direction. But the detailed stic surgery n required an expert¡¯s thorough study toe up with a more perfect n. After a busy afternoon, Xiao Tianhua had alsoe 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 willpensate for any specific lossester.¡± ¡°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 pping 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;st 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 stic surgery hospital. Your n 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 rtionship!¡± 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: These Names... Sound Familiar? Chapter 80: These Names¡­ Sound Familiar? Trantor: 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 aint. 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 regr, immediately ordering a pile of oysters, chives,mb 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 Zhixinughed 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 asionally 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-exnatory. 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 ying the system, you must follow the rules of the system.¡± ¡°In this world, there are several sses of people! Who are the first ss? Those who can break old rules and set new ones. They are the first ss! And the second ss 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 ss? They are the ones who can survive within the rules, adapt exceptionally well to them, and advance quickly. In this lifetime, Ick extraordinary talent and immense power, so the best I can do is to be a third- ss person.¡± After finishing, Zhang Zhixin didn¡¯t continue but added, ¡°That being said, without the Provincial Second Hospital, there would be no Zhixin stic 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 tform to develop my own connections, channels, funds, etc. Without this tform, your socialwork would be very simplistic.¡± ¡°So, whatever you do, being a doctor is truly a great tform. For umting 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 be yours!¡± Chen Cang, who had only recently entered society, was not very familiar with many nuances of human rtionships, 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 sses, Zhang Zhixin continued, ¡°But¡­ this surgery is not so simple, which is why I didn¡¯t immediately agree to help Xiao Tianhua.¡± ¡°Your n is wless, a fantastic n, 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 hisurels. At this point, undertaking a repair surgery for a botched operation that he is uncertain of is definitely a p in the face; he wouldn¡¯te 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 bepetitors, and we¡¯re a private entity, not a public hospital. There¡¯s more exchange in public hospitals. In a ce as small as Anyang City, with so many stic surgery hospitals around, who would look for trouble without reason?¡± Chen Cang responded with an ¡®oh¡¯, suddenly recalling the stic surgery doctors he metst 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 stic surgery, there are several experts: Dongda First Hospital¡¯s Qin Xiang, Xiya stic Surgery Hospital¡¯s Yang Tao, and the sister duo from Annie stic 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: What’s on Your Mind? Chapter 81: What¡¯s on Your Mind? Trantor: 549690339 | Chen Cang mulled over the names Zhang Zhixin had mentioned, suddenly pped 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 stic 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 hospitales 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 Xiangughed 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-stic 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 stic 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 ce 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 stic 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 avability¡­¡± After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face darkened and he turned to nce at Chen Cang, sighing, ¡°I guessed right. Wang Chen is really scared of causing trouble and simply does not want toe.¡± Chen Cang nodded and didn¡¯t say much. Zhang Zhixin sighed, picked up the phone, and made several calls. After exining Xiao Tianhua¡¯s cosmetic surgery repair situation, everyone was reluctant toe. Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt troubled! He had asked everyone he could think of; those he didn¡¯t know wouldn¡¯te 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 stic 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 thest 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 youe here? And Director Qin¡­ What brings you to my ce?¡± Yang Tao¡¯s Xiya stic Surgery Hospital was several timesrger and wealthier than this ce, 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 stic 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 exin 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 isteral canthotomy and removal of epicanthal folds.¡± After listening, Yang Tao smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s have the patiente 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 ising¡­ What¡¯s in your head? Is it filled with this pretty boy??? Pfft! Chapter 82: yy is a Skill! Chapter 82: yy is a Skill! Trantor: 549690339 | Yang Tao was a veteran stic surgeon who had gained some fame at the municipal hospital and was one of the earliest people in An Yang City to engage in stic surgery. After so many years of umtion, Xiya stic Surgery Hospital had be one of the most famous stic surgery hospitals in An Yang City. However, in recent years, with the constant development of the market, the entry of somerge chain hospitals, along with the emergence of some dark horses, Xiya stic 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, thoughcking in innovation, was experienced and highly skilled. Zhang Zhixin was truly happy to have Yang Tao on board this time. After exchanging the stic surgery ns, 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 stic 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 stic 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 stic surgeon to envision the final result in their mind ¨C a professional discipline. It¡¯s just like Michngelo¡¯s ability to carve David out of arge block of stone! Having a profound insight leads to natural creation when setting pen to paper. But¡­ Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t find any resemnce between the two women at all! Because the woman before them was too distinctive, far from the upright, sincere, and jubnt 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 simr, 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 stic 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 stic Surgery Hospital is not far off!¡± What Yang Tao said was true! A stic 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 byparison. What Xiya stic Surgery Hospitalcked the least was top-tier surgeons, with many seasoned technical staff, but it wascking 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. Whenpared to Xiya stic 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 ced 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¡¯te 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 stic surgery design. Looks like¡­ stic 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 stic 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 ept it, for true fragrancees from hardship! You deserve admiration for seeding 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 nt, followed byteral canthal reshaping, and finally liposuction of bteral 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 sh 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 proactivelypensate for their ws, 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 rmend 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 bing the first protector of this book. Thank you to the helmsman ¡®Red Lips High Heels ck Eyeshadow¡¯ and ¡®Steel Straight Man Dog Egg¡¯. Chapter 83: The Emergency Big Plan Chapter 83: The Emergency Big n Trantor: 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 popr, especially among middle-aged and elderly women. Before the surgery began, Xiao Tianhuay 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 andid 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-sty¡± on the skin, separated the subcutaneous tissue, and formed a skin p. 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 p 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 extremelyplex, and that it could serve as the medical student¡¯s bedside book (hypnotic book), one can imagine how difficult andplicated 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 theteral canthus affected the facial nerve. As Chen Cang watched and learned, Qin Xiang and Yang Tao exined 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 stic 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 surgerysted almost an hour and a half! It went very smoothly! It was also very sessful, the team worked together with great tacit understanding. Chen Cang yed 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 blepharosty.) [Incision method blepharosty, level: advanced, special effect: rapid recovery.] Scored a minor blepharosty surgery! Satisfying! Blepharosty, or double eyelid surgery, mainly involves three methods: the mostmonly used is the suture method, followed by incision, andstly the stitching method. Of these, the stitching method is the simplest, suitable for beginners, but¡­ the simplest things often have the most ws and shorings. The stitching method has many side effects, so it¡¯s generally not rmended 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 be 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 ced 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 mostmon surgical approaches used now. Among them, suturing is the mostmonly 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 iplete. Could it be that he had to wait until General Manager Xiao recovered to consider it a sess? 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 stic surgery. Li Baoshan made a sound of acknowledgement, ¡°Come over to my ce. 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 ce 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¡¯trge, 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 topete with other departments for surgery time. Typically, the surgery rooms in a hospital are an independent department, but somerge 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 rted diseases and used the relevant operating rooms. To put it bluntly, it was like a son-inw whoes to live in the wife¡¯s parents¡¯ house, delivering goods and also lending a hand with work. The emergency department had be 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 ack of autonomy! However, having a separate operating room would change things entirely; it was like a serf turning into andowner! 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 argemercial 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 ount! So, the hospital has its own marketce, with severe prization. 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: Who Will Be Chen Gang’s Assistant? Chapter 84: Who Will Be Chen Gang¡¯s Assistant? Trantor: 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 alwayse 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 ratherplex. 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¡¯sst selection, Qin Xiaoyuan felt ufortable. This time, he intended to change the hospital¡¯s surgicalndscape. 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 thest 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 performancest time was very eye-catching. Wang Xiangjun hadmunicated 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 note down yet, Baoshan, you should prepare well in the meantime. Coordinate the work because it¡¯s probablying 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 andmunicate directly.¡± ¡°Director An, I trust your skills and capabilities. I¡¯m contemting 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 dered, ¡°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 ovepped, 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 be an apprentice of his they got along very well. The sudden departure of Chen Cang would definitely make him ufortable. But¡­ Ufortable 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 tough 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 red 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. Manyrge 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 be 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 misceneous 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: We became assistants to Chen Cang??? Chapter 85: We became assistants to Chen Cang??? Trantor: 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 ssmates, 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 toe. 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 beenckluster, 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 arge 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 somewhatgging. 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 rted to our emergency department!¡± Inside the hospital conference room, Shi Qi sat there, today¡¯s ¡°main character.¡± This might be thest 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¡¯spletely 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 newsing down within a day. Not to mention Zhang Youfu, even Tan Liguo was unprepared. Zhang Youfu nced 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 ustomed 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 ofbor within the department would have to bepletely 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 exin.¡± ¡°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 themon 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 be 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 ie. 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 be 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 be Chen Cang¡¯s assistants??? Chapter 86: A Patient or a Swindler? Chapter 86: A Patient or a Swindler? Trantor: 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 bebined! 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 theck 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 youck the ability. If you want to stay in Province Hospital No. 2, you have toply 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. s¡­ 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 misceneous 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 bepleted 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 ck, naturally because the disparity was a bit excessive for him; bing 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 forfort after crying or throwing a tantrum. On Wednesday afternoon, an iing 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 amotion outside. Another patient arriving? Chen Cang, peering through the ss, 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 andy limp in his arms, the two staggering and veering as if they were drunk. Upon witnessing this, Tian Xiann 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, herplexion 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 ce. 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,mented, ¡°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 ce, andbining 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 rm, and he started making meaningful nces at Chen Cang. At that moment, Chen Cang, preupied with contemting 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 ce!¡± At this time, the monitoring data was already avable: 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 aplete blood count, liver and kidney function tests, serum electrolytes¡­ and, right,ctate and blood gas analysis. Also, give the patient oxygen and add a bottle of bnced 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 cerebrovascr 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 yed 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 somepensation, 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,nding 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 dered, ¡°You¡¯re a doctor, not Sherlock Holmes. Go check the patient¡¯s vitals. I suspect this is a case of non-ketotic hyperosmra.¡± 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 amotion 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: Husband and Wife Were Birds of the Same Forest Chapter 87: Husband and Wife Were Birds of the Same Forest Trantor: 549690339 After Chen Cang came in, he found the frail man already causing amotion! ¡°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 rify 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 soplicated 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 toe 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 be; the medical expenses must be at least five thousand.¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t witness this transaction, but Nurse Xiaolin hurried over, holding a gleter with a crystal clear reading! ¡°Blood sugar 33.3mmol/L!¡± Chen Cang was stunned! bbergasted! Indeed, it was that high! Now Chen Cang was even more certain, even more convinced that it was hyperglycemic hyperosmr nonketotica. 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 gleter can only measure up to 33.3; any amount above reads 33.3! For the exact number, we must wait for theb¡¯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,st 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 hade, they acted the same way. Turning around, Chen Cang red 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 exined 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 (theb is more urate than the gleter, which maxes out at 33.3, with the electronic gleter 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 severeplication of diabetes: hyperglycemic hyperosmr state! Quickly! Blood gas analysis,ctate, and other tests had alle 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 exined, ¡°She is currently in a dangerous phase, suffering from hyperosmr nonketotic hyperglycemiaa, 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 theb 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 simr 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 minuteter, 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. ssifying 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 tomunicate with Wang Yong.. Chapter 88: The Mentor-Disciple System is About to be Activated Chapter 88: The Mentor-Disciple System is About to be Activated Trantor: 549690339 Two dayster, the woman who had suffered from hyperosmr hyperglycemic state nonketotica 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 ns 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 Vige, where they ordered a case of beer and a pile of barbecue. Wang Yong filled Chen Cang¡¯s ss to the brim and said, ¡°Come on, Chen Cang, let¡¯s drink.¡± With a ss down the hatch and a bite of fire roasted green peppers, one felt absolutelyfortable! 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 aboutpetition among colleagues? I¡¯ve beenparing 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 nt explosionst 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 bing 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¡¯vee 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 toe 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 Yongplete his task: Sessfully obtain a contract position. Afterpleting 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 n 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 ept the task. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and Chen Cang has to be on call at the hospital and can¡¯t go to the stic surgery clinic. He called Zhang Zhixin to ask for a day off. But Zhang Zhixin told Chen Cang, ¡°Tomorrow your Sister Xiao¡¯s stic 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 almostplete, 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 toplete the transfer procedures, or else it¡¯s not eptable. Upon hearing this, Chen Cang thought that Zhang Youfu was indeed a cunning man. He could say it, and he could do it! Toe up with such a tactic, impressive indeed! Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thankyou, Teacher Zhang. I¡¯lle 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 stic surgery hospital. Once Xiao Tianhua¡¯s surgery results are out, he nned to chat with a few bosses, do someworking, and offer Chen Cang a lucrative coboration contract, even stocks if possible! If he could tie Chen Cang to the same boat, that would be ideal.. Chapter 89: Gallstones! (Announcing Big News) Chapter 89: Gallstones! (Announcing Big News) Trantor: 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 toplete. Just by making a few ward rounds. The practice of medicine is inherently aboutmunication with patients. Just as the saying goes, ¡°Sometimes cure, often help, alwaysfort.¡± In fact, a doctor¡¯s job is to interact with patients,municating and treating them both mentally and physically. However, suchfort 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 Cangcks the power to change this state of affairs; he can only do his best,municate more with his patients, and eliminate misunderstandings and suspicions, considering that most medical disputes probably stem from ack ofmunication and understanding between the parties. While making his rounds, the patient was watching television. Chen Cang nced 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 arge 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 pixted, 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 oue he most wanted to see. Our society should have order andw, as well as morality. Yet some people always like to walk on the knife¡¯s edge, testing the limits ofw and morality. Is Cheng Fang a good person? She definitely cannot be considered a good person. This oue 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 ofpassion; one must possess apassionate 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, Iy 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 bing fewer and fewer. At the same time, Dr. Hu from the internal medicine department was also on rounds, and hearing the olddy¡¯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 be the attending physician, and currently had six patients, not too many. Bed twelve was upied by an olddy, 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 vige. 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 olddy 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 ambnce. The olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 ¡°galldder is healthy (S¡ê)¡±! He didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. Just then, a patient who had just had his stitches done suddenly burst into loudughter, causing the stitches toe undone again! Whileughing and wailing, he eximed, ¡°Doctor¡­ these stitches aren¡¯t sturdy!¡± The other patients around, wanting tough but not daring to, held back theirughter with groans and cries. However, Chen Cang still patiently exined! After all, the olddy 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, alsomunicated with the patients in detail. ps: I have some news to share with everyone, I just got word that this book is scheduled tounch 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 bookunches, 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 andpete at the beginning of next month. I had hoped we could fight for a ce 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 selfposed 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, ck eyeshadow, and the brother named ¡°Moon¡± from QQreading for their generous tips.. I promise, starting from theunch day, 1¡¯11 begin with at least 10 updates! Chapter 90: Comrade Youfu is Going on TV Chapter 90: Comrade Youfu is Going on TV Trantor: 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 ambnce doctor who came up and said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be heart disease, the ECG is normal.¡± The man was clearly unhappy, ¡°My dad is ufortable here, he is feeling panicky, and there¡¯s also spreading pain around the back,ing 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 ambnce 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 sses. 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 rtive 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 ufortable, 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-rted. 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 galldder was slightly erged in both length and width, oval-shaped, with thickened galldder walls, the outline blurry, and presenting a double-ring shape with a thickness greater than 3mm; The echogenicity of the content within the galldder decreased, showing scattered, fog-like echoic spots; the enhancement effect under the galldder¡¯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 veryprehensive. A few days ago, a patient came with bleeding from the bowel, iming it was colorectal cancer. Such examples are numerous. Furthermore, galldder diseases aremon emergencies and prevalent, frequently seen in clinical settings. Many rted conditions can be extremely ufortable, such as acute cholecystitis, dyed 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 ustomed 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. ording 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 irregrities of summer make these digestive diseases much more likely to ur. But this year, the surgery department had suddenly be 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 nevercked 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 timees, 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,e 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 tteringpliment, ¡°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 mostmon disease of the season diseases of the galldder system! Chapter 91: Truly Classic! Chapter 91: Truly ssic! Trantor: 549690339 I Could Duan Bo really be 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 galldder diseases were the mostmon within the hepatobiliary system. Choosing this topic, Zhang Youfu was at his best! Secondly, the patient poption with galldder diseases wasrge, 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 exined the reasons, Zhang Youfu suddenlyughed, ¡°You, you get me!¡± Duan Boughed along, ¡°We see eye to eye, Director, we¡¯re on the same wavelength.¡± After theughter, 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 p 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 galldder 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 ssmate 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? Galldder 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 timees, if the patients can¡¯t get surgery and their condition is dyed, 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 toe 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 roaringughter. Saturdays on duty were busy since there weren¡¯t many people in the department. Chen Cang had to y 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 hourter, 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 galldder 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 stic Surgery Hospital. After Zhang Zhixin looked over the patient yesterday, today the swelling would bepletely 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 oue? 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, simr to a concept drawing, but no one can guarantee how it will trante 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 toe! You must know, stic 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 asional 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 theparison 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,pared 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 ssic!¡± 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 nning on eleven chapters for the first day, but who knows, maybe I can update even more depending on the situation.. Chapter 92: Mission Accomplished Chapter 92: Mission Aplished Trantor: 549690339 I Xiao Tianhua had braced herself for all kinds of psychological oues! 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 nk. 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 youe 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. Taskpletion 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 beingpared 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 Blepharosty, 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 ording to thest time¡¯s standards, calcte 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 fromst 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 tough or to cry. Originally, the two of them wanted to help Chen Cang out, but they ended up making some extra money instead. [Ding! Sessfully helped Zhang Zhixin resolve a difficult situation; Task rating: 80 points.] [Taskpletion 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 regtes your behavior, highlighting deficiencies. ] [Triple Experience Pill: After use, automatically acquire triple experience effects for the next 10 hours (including skill experience + regr experience).] Two consumables! But they looked like enticing rewards. Indeed, there was a big difference between apletion 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 tter 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 toplete 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 stic surgery license, too high of a percentage might seem a bit ostentatious.¡± ¡°Tell you what, I¡¯m the president of the stic Surgery Association of Dongyang Province, and at the end of September, there¡¯s a stic 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 stic 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, ck Eyeshadow¡± for the grand reward, bing the book¡¯s protector! Thank you! Twelve updates for theunch day! Chapter 93: Duan Bo’s Reverse Psychology Chapter 93: Duan Bo¡¯s Reverse Psychology Trantor: 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 galldder surgery, some with very clear indications for surgery that couldn¡¯t be dyed much longer. This caught Shi Napletely off guard! No one knew better than she the situation in the Emergency Department. It could hardly amodate so many cholecystectomy patients. Not to mention whether there were enough beds, since ordinary patients, if treated withparoscopy, 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¡¯tplete them all without rest. If the dys 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 galldder surgery yesterday, and together with the ones we already had, that made a total of just over ten, didn¡¯t it? But¡­ howe 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 dyed, if the surgeries couldn¡¯t bepleted 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, andst 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 galldder issues did you admit yesterday?¡± The other party didn¡¯t hesitate, ¡°Hmm, 1 was on dutyst night, and it turns out I got a bunch of galldder patients. I even wondered if there was a problem with the barbecue standst 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 timees, 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 rtion does the surgical department have with the Emergency Department now? Anyone with clear eyes can see it! A surgical consultation request? Isn¡¯t this tantly looking for trouble? But now, if we don¡¯t ask, there¡¯s no other way, the patient¡¯s life can¡¯t be dyed. 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 theme 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. Aftering 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 be 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 dy. 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 dyed, it would be such a serious matter! After making the rounds, Duan Bo was very serious and responsible, exining the patients¡¯ conditions with patience and attention to detail. He was essentially forting, 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 be a team leader, congrattions!¡± With a forced smile, Shi Na nodded, ¡°1 can¡¯tpare 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 rtively limited variety of diseases, unlike emergency, which has many types of diseases and many critical cases. Without real skill, you can¡¯t handle suchplex 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 youst 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 avable for an appendectomy. If it were any other surgery, I certainly couldn¡¯tpete 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 singr! After all, ording 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 asional 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 tform, 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 94:1 Can Do It! Chapter 94:1 Can Do It! Trantor 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 galldder are different. How manyplications arise each year from galldder removal surgery? A slightpse 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 cane 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 uneptable! 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 onlyplicate matters further. Maybe call the ambnce 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 ambnce 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 ambnce 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 avable, 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 Naughed 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 galldder and appendectomy are two entirely different surgeries, with much more difficulty in the former. This is because after galldder 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 idents to ur.¡± ¡°Treatment of post-cholecystectomy syndrome is even more troublesome than the galldder removal itself. To put it bluntly, a surgery might cost 10,000 yuan, but treatingplications 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 surgeryst 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 ssmates during their master¡¯s and bachelor¡¯s studies. She knew Duan Bo was full of malice inside, and moreover, he was Zhang Youfu¡¯s loyalpdog! 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 examing up, every surgery counted. Chen Cang: ¡°Cholecystectomy!¡± Wang Yong was taken aback. Chen Cang could actually perform such an impressive surgery? Chapter 95: Teacher Shi, don’t be nervous! Chapter 95: Teacher Shi, don¡¯t be nervous! Trantor: 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 thatmunicating 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 regr case of cholelithiasis, with the ultrasound showing an erged galldder! 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 theputer, and opened the medical record for bed 12. Preoperative records, all set! Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Preoperative diagnosis: Cholelithiasis. Significant ergement of the galldder. 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 red at Qin Yue, ¡°You¡¯reughing at me, but aren¡¯t you the same? Also a follower of Chen Cang, mind you.¡± Thatment 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¡¯reughing.¡± 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 galldder 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 alreadyrge 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 aparoscopic 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 ughtering 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 ufortable! 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 galldder 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 wereid, the trocar sleeve¡­ Next up, time to inte the abdomen! Laparoscopic surgery requires insuftion to lift the abdominal wall for a better view of the surgical field and to facilitate the surgery. Everyone should still remember the insuftion 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 insufting with carbon dioxide. Inting 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 sessfully established! After removing the veress needle, he inserted a 10mm trocar at this puncture point to manipte 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 (Galldder] appeared, some information shed through Chen Cang¡¯s mind. [Cholecystitis, level: lv28, size: 50x21x18mm, grey-white, wall thickness 4mm, congestive edema, high tension, galldder 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 andprehensive 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-portparoscopic approach: one for observation, one for primary operation, and one for assisting. Shi Na was indeed nervous because it was time to dissect the galldder triangle, also known as the triangle of Calot. Fortunately, the galldder triangle was clear and easy to dissect. Chen Cang, with forceps in his left hand, retracted the bottom of the galldder towards the head side, and with the electrocautery hook, he approached the galldder 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 identally damage the sensitive area. The dissection and separation of the galldder 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 galldder 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 mping the cystic duct and cystic artery, he handed over the electrocautery hook and the converter to proceed with the galldder 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 galldder. A medium-sized vascr mp 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 galldder! The entire procedure went so smoothly that Shi Na felt it all seemed a bit surreal.. Chapter 96: A New Concept Chapter 96: A New Concept Trantor: 549690339 I After flushing and examination werepleted, the patient needed to be sutured. Chen Cang picked up the suturing needle and carefully suturedyer byyer. 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 popr? 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 regr 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 ced 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 thoughparoscopic 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 waspleted 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 hepleted 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 imed 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 sessfully 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 regr 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 wasparoscopic. 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 toplications, 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¡¯smon 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 exchangedpliments 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 Yonge 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 butugh: ¡°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: Zhang Zhixin Might Lose Her Job... Chapter 97: Zhang Zhixin Might Lose Her Job¡­ Trantor: 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 galldder 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 wouldmunicate and arrange with each hospital beforehand for patient distribution. For instance, with myocardial infarctions, the priority might be the Provincial Cardiovascr 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 surgeriespleted 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 intoughter, but after a moment, he also became serious and said earnestly, ¡°Well, this¡­ Duan Bo,petition 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 andplete the surgeries promptly. We must not have any idents.¡± 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 butugh. 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 operationspleted 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 attributepared 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 earnestlyplete the substantial task of treating one hundred patients. At this moment, Qin Yue and Wang Yong hade 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 toplete six surgeries today. Time is tight, and tasks are heavy, so everyone, hurry up!¡± Aparoscopic 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 ate 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 neer 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 aparoscopic 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 insuftion. Chen Cang looked at Wang Yong, ¡°Inparoscopic surgery, you must be careful with the force used during puncturing to avoid damaging the organs inside the abdomen¡­ and also, the speed of insuftion to prevent syndromes such as pneumoperitoneum.¡± ¡°Laparoscopic surgeries have manyplications, 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 shorings of both traditional open surgery andparoscopic surgery. Could he draw inspiration from it and modify the technique for small incision galldder 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 mp the galldder and push it towards the diaphragm, then lift it upwards, that¡¯s right, expose the hepatic portal, see that? That¡¯s the galldder 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 sinct! 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 galldder 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 silentint, she red 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 nce. 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 ck eyeshadow for the 20000 reward, bing 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: The more complex the gallbladder, the more twisted and abstract Chapter 98: The moreplex the galldder, the more twisted and abstract Trantor: 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 surgerysted over an hour, with Chen Cang performing very conscientiously, and exining in great detail. Both of them could say they benefited a great deal! After all, they were peers, which made for easymunication, 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 bes 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 ying 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 arge 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! Itpletely 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, theparison suddenly made them gape in amazement. Unknowingly, a gap had emerged! When someone has one dor 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 topare. That was the sentiment. At this moment, neither of them had any thoughts ofpetition 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 pir; 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 misceneous things, just study diligently, follow orders, that¡¯s all it took! In a phrasemonly used as an insult, his mind at this moment was filled with galldders. Galldder wall,mon bile duct, hepatic duct, infundibulum of the galldder. Out of nowhere, a version of ¡°The Ram¡± titled ¡°The Galldder¡± began to form unexpectedly in his mind. Suchplex galldders. So twisted, so abstract. So malevolent the stones. Always an ominous descent. Anxiety filled the heart! Nearly losing all shape. The triangr 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 be somewhat dazed. However, theparoscopic 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,pletely 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 uing surgery? 1¡­ I think my assessment ising 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 theter 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 heck an MVP! After a moment¡¯s thought, he nced 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 ofparoscopic 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 contemting 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 byparoscopic 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, particrly from foreignnguage 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 scientificmunity. 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 alsoposes 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.. Chapter 99: It’s All Thanks to Old Chen’s Good Teaching! Chapter 99: It¡¯s All Thanks to Old Chen¡¯s Good Teaching! Trantor: 549690339 The three of them were busy until about eleven o¡¯clock at night before they finallypleted 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 galldder surgery, but for further research on the process ofparoscopic 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 plete set¡± quickly. Qin Yue was gathering data and keeping records, preparing for the research topics. With clear division ofbor, 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: [Galldder Removal Surgery: Advanced; Experience: 3900/4000] He was only a hundred experience points away from leveling up his galldder 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 galldder removal surgery patients. He spotted the issue at a nce. 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 avable for emergency patients. For galldder removal patients¡­ arrange them ording to the department¡¯s surgical capabilities, and don¡¯t overextend, after all, some galldder surgeries can¡¯t be dyed.¡± Chen Bingsheng also frowned slightly, ¡°More than thirty¡­ that¡¯s quite a lot. Aparoscopic galldder 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 galldder 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, howe 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 waspletely different, he stood tall and proud, even bigger than Qin Yue. Shi Na continued, ¡°Most patients who undergoparoscopic cholecystectomy can go home the same day after surgery. They can eat and move around normally as long as they follow up regrly 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 traditionalparoscopic surgery, and the experimental group would use your method. Then we could do a data analysis, and a simple paper woulde 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 embarrassedugh, ¡°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 deeperyers of research required. [Ding! You have hit a bottleneck in your surgery. To advance, you need to solve a variety of types,plexities, 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 - too: Thanks for the gallbladder sent Chapter 100: Chapter too: Thanks for the galldder sent by my bro¡­ 666 Trantor: 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 independentlyplete a galldder 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 galldder 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 galldder 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 rted 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 ofst 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 inuracies!¡± 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 be 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 galldder 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 galldder surgery patients, but¡­ they¡¯ve all been properly dealt with.¡± Zhang Youfuughed 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 toplete 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 galldder removal surgeries. Can one personplete 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 ce, we¡¯ve performed a total of sixty-seven surgeries, including forty-fiveparoscopic galldder 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 ce 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 galldder 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¡¯tplete 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 coborate.¡± With that statement! Zhang Youfu was nearly enraged to the point of spitting blood! Since when could Chen Cang perform galldder 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 nned as a criticism session turned into amendation 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, pping enthusiastically! Secretary Tan Liguo grimaced with a bitter smile! His hands ached from pping¡­ 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 ufortable. 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! Justing 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 mightsh out. After hesitating, he closed the door. ps: Thanks to ¡°Unwilling to Make Progress, Thinking of You¡± for bing the first Alliance Hierarch of this book! Deeply grateful!

Chapter 101: The Lord Monster Appears (Please Subscribe for the First Time) Chapter 101: The Lord Monster Appears (Please Subscribe for the First Time) Trantor: 549690339 Zhang Youfu¡¯s face darkened as he looked at Duan Bo and said nothing for a long time. Duan Bo kept reviewing, ¡°Director, this is my fault, 1 failed to understand the other party¡¯s background properly, this really is my negligence!¡± After a long while! Zhang Youfu finished a cigarette and sighed, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not ming you. What¡¯s done is done. Let¡¯s figure out how to deal with it.¡± ¡°Emergency now has three patients who need galldder removal surgery. This is not a good thing! Acute cholecystitis usually urs suddenly, and everyone runs to the emergency department. Very few head to general surgery. This can¡¯t go on.¡± ¡°Galldder removal is also one of the mostmon diseases in our hospital. If the patients all rush to emergency, what about the patients in our department? This is a huge loss if it continues for a long time!¡± ¡°Moreover, as an upstream department, being at odds with the emergency department is very disadvantageous for us in receiving patients in the future!¡± What Zhang Youfu said was the truth, the struggle between departments for patients was not unusual and was openly recognized. Take general surgery for example; before Zhang Youfu arrived, there were hardly any patients. The previous director, in order to attract patients, would ept any surgery that could be performed, like breast surgery, circumcision, hemorrhoid surgery ¨C anything that could be cut came to general surgery. It was a necessary measure. Department development needed money, and so did the doctors¡¯ bonuses. Where was the money supposed toe from? Without patients, you wouldn¡¯t earn a dime! So, could Zhang Youfu notpete? He was the department head, didn¡¯t he have to n for the department¡¯s development? If you had one more operating room that belonged to your department, you could conservatively estimate an increase of millions in ie for general surgery each year. It wasn¡¯t just about Zhang Youfu ¨C any director wouldpete! And now, not only had he failed to secure the operating room, but he had also lost a bunch of galldder removal patients ¨C it was a double loss! Hospitals, like any enterprise, have their departments engaged in both open and covert battles. If you want to be a good doctor, you don¡¯t need to concern yourself with too much ¨C just focus on diligently studying medicine and thepassionate practice of it. But if you want to be a director, without tricks up your sleeve, you definitely can¡¯t be considered a good one. Do you think everyone who bes a director is a good doctor? Definitely not, and let¡¯s be clear about that. If you¡¯re considering an administrative position, without some tricks and cunning, you¡¯d be better off steering clear! After all, once you be a director, you have a lot of resources at your disposal, and a lot of money in your wallet. Who wouldn¡¯t apply every strategem? Zhang Youfu suddenly said, ¡°Let¡¯s leave it at that for now. Go and n a charity event focused on the healthcare of hepatic and biliary systems. When I¡¯m on TV, you bring the staff from our department to themunity and the hospital outpatient hall to hold a free clinic. We¡¯ll attract more patients ourselves¡­ As for emergency¡­ let¡¯s put a pause on that.¡± Duan Bo nodded in agreement,mitted to doing the task well. These days, Chen Cang had been performing surgeries until past eleven o¡¯clock night after night, and Qin Yue stayed with him until then too. It must be said, she really was an incredible girl. During this period, Qin Yue had been collecting data with Chen Cang and asionally assisting in surgeries. Wang Yong was busy; after surgeries, he also had to look after the wards, so Qin Yue quickly became Chen Cang¡¯s right-hand assistant. Leaning against the wall outside, Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Clutching her notebook, Qin Yue replied, ¡°Tired! But thinking that I might publish another SCI paper makes me excited!¡± Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s not that easy. It¡¯s just a small idea, and it might not yield much.¡± Qin Yue smiled mysteriously, ¡°Research is all about the details. Only by paying attention to the details can real science be achieved.¡± As they were about to leave, they suddenly noticed the door of operating room No. 6 burst open! An older nurse rushed out in haste, her face panicked and her expression extremely anxious! Through the doors of the operating room, Chen Cang could just make out a tall man looking bewildered beside the operating table! Zhou Xiaodong was flustered! He never imagined he¡¯d encounter such a situation. Having to perform a problematic surgery during overtime was a difficult task for anyone! The patient had a galldder neck stone impaction, with gallstones inducing severe inmmation whichpressed themon bile duct! The galldder triangle area was like it had rotted, severely infiltrated with inmmatory cells, even suppurating! What to do! How to handle it? What to do about this situation! Zhou Xiaodong felt his hands trembling, make a phone call! Call for help! He picked up the phone to call Duan Bo, but the call showed that it was switched off! What to do, what to do? Who to find! By now Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s hands were trembling so much that even dialing the phone number on his mobile was extremely difficult. The nurse who had run out just now returned, her face stricken with panic, and said, ¡°Dr. Zhou, there¡¯s nobody, they¡¯ve all gone off duty! There are no senior physicians nearby!¡± ¡°How about¡­ how about we do it tomorrow?¡± Zhou Xiaodong felt chilled to the bone when he heard this. How could the surgery be stopped halfway through? It¡¯s not that simple! Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s voice was shaking, ¡°If we stop now, things will be even more problematic! It¡¯s likely to cause a more severe peritoneal infection!¡± Standing at one metre eighty plus, the robust Zhou Xiaodong realized for the first time just how cowardly and ipetent he was! The nurse urged, ¡°Make a call, call the director, call emergency! Call the emergency department, see who¡¯s in!¡± Zhou Xiaodong¡¯s eyes lit up, and just as he was about to dial, Chen Cang had alreadye in. ¡°What happened?¡± Zhou Xiaodong was so startled by the question that his mobile phone dropped straight to the floor, but at that moment, picking it up was thest thing on his mind. ¡°Chen Cang?¡± Chen Cang nodded and said to the nurse, ¡°Help me with a surgical gown!¡± The nurse nodded, appearing as though she had seen a savior! She quickly helped Chen Cang into a surgical gown; his hands, having just been washed and luckily not having touched anything, donned the gloves. Chen Cang walked straight to the operating table and, seeing the image on the television, was also stunned! The name of the galldder was crimson as blood! [Galldder: Boss monster, IV45! Due to a galldder neck stone impaction mutation, serious inmmation was induced, with chronic episodes, lingering and unresolved, leading to pressure on themon bile duct, causing obstructive jaundice, biliary colic, chngitis, liver cell damage¡­ I Not only the galldder, but even the [Liver][Common Bile Duct][Portal Vein]¡­ all were red! This left Chen Cang baffled! What the hell was this situation? He simply had no way of handling it, a galldder of this level was beyond Chen Cang¡¯s abilities to deal with, let alone Chen Cang, perhaps even Zhang Zhixin, Duan Bo, and Chen Bingsheng would have a hard time! A level 45 boss monster, just looking at that long list of damage, you¡¯d know it was trouble! What to do? Suddenly, Chen Cang had a brainwave, recalling the special reward he had just received: [Expert Guidance]! Activate! [Ding! Expert Guidance activated, remaining time 9 days 23 hours¡­] ps: I created a group, you can find it in the introduction, old hands get the wine and meat ready to wee everyone! Chapter 102: Lord’s Explosion! (Seeking First Chapter 102: Lord¡¯s Explosion! (Seeking First Order) Trantor: 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 disy 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 galldder 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 andplicated galldder 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 difficultplication of the galldder, 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 galldder 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 umonplication 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 galldder that consequentlypress themon bile duct or hepatic duct, leading to a narrowing of the hepatic duct.¡± ¡°This condition is rtively rare in clinical practice, with its pathological basis in cystic duct or neck stones that are lodged and inmed; these patients typically have a protracted medical history.¡± ¡°Persistent lodgment andpression byrger stones at the infundibulum and neck of the galldder can cause narrowing of themon hepatic duct or cholecystocholedochal fist, 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 nce; 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 ident, 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 theplex abdominal cavity; without ¡°mentor guidance,¡± he would have been shaking with uncertainty! The first step was still to separate the messy galldder 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, andmon 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 galldder 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 galldder 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, andmon 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 galldder 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 galldder from its liver bed. Then he continued to dissect towards the triangr area, after freeing the galldder 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 andposed as a gentle breeze or still water. His actions were very delicate, a push, a nudge, a coagtion, a separation, just right! The technique was incredibly clever. Zhou Xiaodong watched, utterly astonished¡­ Finally! After nearly twenty minutes, he sessfully freed the galldder triangle! It was a sess! Once the galldder 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, whoseposed 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 incrediblyplex, 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 galldder 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 regr 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 galldder¡¯s Hartmann¡¯s pouch and suctioned out the bile. Then he removed the impacted stone! The stone wasrge, 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 galldder, dissecting toward the right side of themon bile duct. If Hartmann¡¯s pouch was densely adhered to the right side wall of themon bile duct, that portion of the galldder wall was preserved, and the galldder mucosa was cauterized¡­ The surgery proceeded smoothly, the hardest part was over, and the rest of the work was simple! [Ding! Congrattions, you have defeated a level 45 boss galldder monster! Experience +3000; Cholecystectomy experience +5000 (continue to level up to master); RMB +3000; You have obtained: a pair of Stern¡¯s gloves.] [Ding! Congrattions, you have leveled up to 16! Skill point +1!] [Ding! Congrattions, 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 waspleted! 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 ountable, 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 articte 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!

(Requesting First Subscription) Trantor: 549690339 I 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 nomittally, ¡°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 withplex 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, nning 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 ce. 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 irregr, 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 ordance 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 toin, 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 onlysts 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 afortable lying position. Turing on the virtual screen, Chen Cang suddenly realized a problem! That was a progress bar added to my ¡°Galldder 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 vige? 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 ying 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 ratherplicated, ¡°These past few days, we¡¯ve done quite well with the galldder surgeries, especially Chen Cang, who yed an indelible role. Wang Yong also did quite well, but¡­ it seems there have been fewer galldder 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 galldder removal surgeries, offering a green channel for transferring patients. Everyone, let¡¯s brace ourselves in the uing 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 be addicted to performing galldder 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¡± onlysted 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 welltely. Ready for surgery? Let¡¯s go!¡± Saying that, he took the lead and headed towards the operating room. Chapter 104: Old Chen is in Trouble! (Please Subscribe First) Chapter 104: Old Chen is in Trouble! (Please Subscribe First) Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Chen copsed 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 copse 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 toplete 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. [Examinationplete. 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. Rmendation: Improve cirction, increase blood supply, oxygen inhtion, 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 bing panicked. After all, the emergency surgery department had only been established for a few days, and these nurses had never encountered such situations, bingpletely disorganized! Chen Cang quickly got up and began delegating tasks, calling the free nurses outside toe 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, youe 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 toe 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 t, and they ced the oxygen bag from the OR on Chen. The surgery had to continue quickly, otherwise, the patient might haveplications! 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 theplete blood count, and additionally, administer flunarizine orally¡­¡± Wang Yong nodded, pushing Chen away. And for Chen Cang, the most difficult part was yet toe! Chen had left him quite a mess! By now, the news of Chen¡¯s copse 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 justpleted 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 toplete the operation sessfully and ensure no one found out. It was an emergency! If it fell into the hands of others, it would be 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 inmmation of the galldder with chronic atrophy. The anatomy of Calot¡¯s triangle was unclear, making it impossible to discern the rtionship between the cystic duct and themon bile duct. The cystic duct opened into the right hepatic duct, with the opening in the left side of themon bile duct, with low confluence of the left and right hepatic ducts; the cystic duct was short and thick, conditions that during severe inmmation could easily lead to idental injury of themon bile duct or right hepatic duct. Even though Chen Bingsheng had tried his best when he fainted, the electrosurgical hook still identally 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 ne. 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 waspleted, he could then continue with the subsequent surgery. Inside the operating room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn; nobody had their usual casualness and rxation. This was the most dreadful thing. An operating room is a serious ce, but once everyone bes silent, it might mean that the operation is incredibly difficult and no one can be sure of its sess. Better to have a more rxed atmosphere than that. The sound of medical instruments beeped consistently. Chen Cang finallypleted 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.. Chapter 105:105 Chapter: Bravely Taking On Heavy Responsibilities (Seeking First Subscription) Chapter 105:105 Chapter: Bravely Taking On Heavy Responsibilities (Seeking First Subscription) Trantor: 549690339 The news of Old Chen fainting in the operating room spread instantly throughout the operation theater and across various departments. The operating room is always the ce with the most hospital gossip. If Old Chen had an ident during surgery this time, even if it was idental due to fainting, it might be tough for him to recover his reputation for the rest of his life. This was also the reason why Chen Cang tried so hard to protect him. Luckily, Chen Cang was prepared, and the nurses were from the emergency department; everyone tacitly resolved the issue without speaking of it openly. On the very day, Li Baoshan exined to the patient, ¡°Comrade Chen Bingsheng toiled for 42 hours on the operating table over three days,pleting nearly twenty surgeries, and copsed from exhaustion by the operating table, and even though he was so exhausted, he still insisted on finishing the surgery without any mishaps,¡± Everyone sighed, saying it¡¯s not easy to insist on working 42 hours over three days, let alone on the operating table. Don¡¯t you need to rest, eat, or use the bathroom? Perhaps Old Chen was genuinely exhausted! After Chen Cang came back, Old Chen had already woken up and asked cautiously, ¡°Nothing went wrong, did it?¡± Chen Cang smiled immediately, ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re too nervous. Nothing happened, you finished the surgery, and I just stitched up the belly.¡± Chen Bingsheng was puzzled, ¡°Really?¡± Chen Cang nodded with a grin, ¡°Why would 1 lie about that? Of course, it¡¯s true.¡± Only then did Chen Bingsheng sigh in relief. ¡°By the way, boss, how could you get so exhausted?¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t think it was because of the surgery itself. Chen Bingsheng sighed, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head, ¡°I haven¡¯t had a good sleep this week. I¡¯ve been severely sleep-deprived every night, getting only about three to four hours of sleep. I didn¡¯t expect this to happen.¡± Chen Cang immediately showed concern, ¡°What happened? What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Bingsheng wanted to speak but then sighed again, smiling, ¡°Lately, I might be suffering from some insomnia, anxiety, and depression due to stress. I¡¯ll buy some medicine after work, a little medication should fix it.¡± Chen Cang always felt that Old Chen was deceiving himself, and suggested, ¡°Should I call my sister-inw to let her know?¡± Chen Bingsheng quickly stopped him, ¡°No, no, no, your sister-inw is even busier than I am. Let¡¯s not bother her with this.¡± Li Baoshan gave Old Chen three days off, telling him to rest well. Old Chen didn¡¯t refuse this time; he was indeed scared by the incident. Fortunately, it hadn¡¯t been a particrly critical surgery; otherwise¡­ who knows what serious problems could have urred. Better to take a good rest. Old Chen went to rest, but the emergency department didn¡¯t rest. Moreover, Li Baoshan had just established a cooperative rtionship with the 120 emergency center to handle difficult galldder cases. Now that Old Chen fell ill at a critical moment, who was to perform the surgeries? Li Baoshan was also extremely anxious. He can¡¯t stay in the department doing galldder removals every day; his responsibilities were much greater, as he had to preside over many key and difficult surgeries at the provincial second hospital. Should the cooperation with the 120 center be called off? If canceled, how would they cooperate in the future? To act in bad faith, do you think the 120 emergency center would be easy to talk with? But if they didn¡¯t cancel, what would they do? How would they handle a difficult case if it came in? A difficult choice appeared before Li Baoshan. Thinking this over, Li Baoshan felt troubled. What should he do? Perhaps¡­ he shouldmunicate with the staff at the 120 emergency center first, considering special circumstances require special treatment, and he trusted they would understand. During the morning shift change, Li Baoshan stood there, looking at everyone, ¡°There¡¯s something I¡¯d like to discuss with you all. Old Chen has been the leading force in our general surgery system for hepatobiliary diseases. Now that Old Chen has taken a rest, the 120 emergency services aren¡¯t resting, and neither will our emergency department. But 1 definitely can¡¯t handle these diseases on my own¡­ So, does anyone have any suggestions?¡± After Li Baoshan put forth the question, there was a collective sigh from the crowd below. Just as one wave had settled, another was rising. The emergency department had just started to get back on track, and now Old Chen was ill. An Yanjun nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s temporarily cancel the coboration. We can¡¯t dy treating patients. 120 will handle the dispatch. If an emergencyes to our hospital and we don¡¯t have sufficient medical resources, it can only result in dying treatment for the patients. It would be better to cancel the coboration.¡± Zhang Shu from internal medicine suddenly said, ¡°If we keep changing our minds like this, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to coborate with the emergency medical center in the future! Old Chen is resting for three days¡­ Why don¡¯t we find some support to get us through these days? I think we should reach out andmunicate with the general surgery department. We should set aside our prejudices in the face of major issues, and I believe Director Zhang Youfu isn¡¯t the kind of person who would make things difficult.¡± Zhang Shu¡¯s words caused everyone to fall into a pensive silence. Zhang Shu continued, ¡°If the emergency department can get through this difficulty, it will definitely experience growth. And in the future, we will have more coboration with the 120 emergency center. We should find a solution. How about this, I¡¯ll go and speak to Zhang Youfu, and if he is unwilling, I will go directly to the hospital director!¡± Li Baoshan sighed. He didn¡¯t mind much, but the key issue was that Zhang Youfu cared a lot about face. Last time, he was made to lose face so badly during a hospital meeting, this time¡­ it would be tough! Seeking out the hospital director, they could simply say that they were willing but unable to help, and you would have no recourse. Now, Zhang Youfu would probably relish seeing you in trouble! Chen Cang stood there, seeing a question mark appear above Li Baoshan¡¯s head. [Ding! Li Baoshan¡¯s troubles, emergency department¡¯s predicament, Mission Prompt: Take on the burden of emergency surgeries while Old Chen is resting, face the challenges head-on, and provide treatment for the difficult cases brought by the 120 emergency center. Mission Reward: Designated advanced surgical skill (You will obtain a designated surgical skill, Note: Limited to level 1 and 2 surgeries.)] This was impressive! Designated surgical skill. Chen Cang took a deep breath and said solemnly, ¡°Director, I can do it!¡± Everyone looked in his direction, all eyes on Chen Cang! Chen Cang this time did not hesitate or act bashfully, instead said confidently, ¡°Director, I can perform cholecystectomy surgeries for the patients brought in by 120!¡± Wang Yong was somewhat shocked at that moment! For some reason, he felt something called a sense of mission arising in his heart, and it even brought a lump to his throat as he blurted out, ¡°Director, I can help Chen Cang to cooperate andplete the surgeries!¡± Qin Yue also spoke up directly, ¡°Right! Chen Cang can do it! I can do it, too!¡± The three of them making such a stance brought a moment of silence to the shift change. All eyes were on the three young people. These young faces were filled with determination and confidence. This made Wang Qian very envious! This is what young people should be doing. Confronting difficulties! Oveing tough challenges! Standing at the forefront of the times! Striving to be pioneers of the era! To be honest, Wang Qian was inspired in that moment! But envy was one thing; he wanted to say something too, but couldn¡¯t, because he simply didn¡¯t know how to do it. Being an orthopedic who had now gotten involved in general surgery was already quite an achievement, and asionally he could manage an appendectomy, but a cholecystectomy was another story.. Chapter 106: Li Baoshan’s Test (Extra update for the unambitious Alliance Hierarch thinking of you) Chapter 106: Li Baoshan¡¯s Test (Extra update for the unambitious Alliance Hierarch thinking of you) Trantor: 549690339 | Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang, Qin Yue, and Wang Yong, his heart slightly shaken! This is the spirit young people should have! How wonderful! They were just like them in the old days. But- Some things cannot be aplished with just passion; this is not a war where one charges into battle with invincible courage, nor can the task bepleted with mere enthusiasm! Li Baoshan looked at the three of them, ¡°Well done! All of you did well, but the patients sent by the 120 Emergency Center are no ordinary cases; each one is aplicated galldder operation that wouldn¡¯t be sent to us otherwise!¡± ¡°So, you guys should stay out of this; 1¡¯11 handle it! His words were clear; he was saying that their abilities were not enough, and to put aside their enthusiasm. Chen Cang said, ¡°Director, 1 can do it! I have done a lot of research on galldder surgery, and 1 have always been studying challenging cholecystectomy. 1 can handle this situation!¡± As everyone was silent, Shi Na suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Director, Chen really knows his stuff when ites to galldder surgery; I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes¡­ maybe give him a chance to try! Shi Na was very low-key and rarely spoke up, being more conservative. Li Baoshan looked at Shi Na curiously. At this moment, Qin Yue, acting as Chen Cang¡¯s cheerleader, hastily added, ¡°Yes! Director, Chen Cang isn¡¯t lying to you, he really is amazing; he can even handle Mirrizi syndrome, he¡¯s not lying!¡± This statement made Li Baoshan freeze, ¡°You can perform a cholecystectomy under Mirrizi syndrome?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes.¡± This response truly stunned Li Baoshan! He knew all too well what Mirrizi syndrome was! He also understood better than anyone the significance represented by this syndrome! It was one of the most difficult surgical procedures for galldder removal in hepatobiliary surgery. How old was Chen Cang? Had he even seen Mirrizi syndrome, let alone operated on it? Seeing Qin Yue nod with all the certainty in the world, Li Baoshan was honestly somewhat shocked. Li Baoshan hesitated, ¡°Chen, this is not the time for passion. The patient¡¯s lifees before everything. Compared to that, honor means nothing; do you understand?¡± Chen Cang nodded resolutely, ¡°Director, I can do it! In the entire office, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Chen Cang. In their look was a mix ofplex emotions: admiration, envy, praise, and appreciation! He had stood up once again! Back when the chemical nt exploded, Chen Cang had turned the tide and saved the lives of the patients. And now, at a time when the emergency department was short of people and in most need of talent, he had once again stood up. It was hard to find any reason to hate such a person. Wang Yong was much more honest now, sitting there looking at Chen Cang, as if he saw a vision of his future self! Where was his jealousy now? Having followed Chen Cang for only a short time, he had already learned the cholecystectomy technique, helping relieve the department¡¯s burdens, which also gave him a sense of being needed and respected. Every time he thought of the young nurses in the operation room calling him Dr. Wang gently, Wang Yong felt like he had boundless energy. After a moment of contemtion and consideration, Li Baoshan made a decision. He decided to apany Chen Cang in one operation; if Chen Cang really could do it, that would be great! Li Baoshan nodded, just about to speak when the duty nurse barged in: ¡°Director, a patient transferred from City Hospital N0.8 ising. Afterparoscopy, they found a cholecysto-duodenal fist! They are about to arrive at our hospital, so get the operating room ready!¡± Upon these words! Li Baoshan¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Okay, meeting dismissed, Chen Cang prepare for surgery, Qin Yue youe too.¡± After speaking, Li Baoshan addressed Chen Cang, ¡°Let¡¯s go, do you know how to do a cholecysto-duodenal fist operation? Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes!¡± A galldder-duodenal fist is no minor matter! It is also one of the typical difficult cholecystectomies. Li Baoshan could take this opportunity to observe Chen Cang¡¯s skills. Inside the operating room! Guo Cheng, the director of general surgery at the municipal eighth hospital, looked anxious as he pushed the patient into the operating room, ¡°Director Li, hello!¡± Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Director Guo, how¡¯s the patient?¡± Guo Cheng spoke as he walked, ¡°The situation is quite bad. We initially thought it was just an ordinary case of cholecystitis, but once theparoscope was in, we were shocked; the whole right upper abdomen was full of adhesions, yet the inmmatory indices weren¡¯t high.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a mixed-type galldder-duodenal fist, apanied by upper GI bleeding. If it weren¡¯t for the surgery prep, we would have never found it! Li Baoshan nodded in agreement, indeed, a mixed-type galldder-duodenal fist has no specific symptoms or signs, and it is often masked by the clinical presentation of the primary disease, resulting in high rates of clinical misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Guo Cheng passed over the medical records, ¡°Director, here are the records.¡± After looking through them, Li Baoshan handed them to Chen Cang, ¡°This is Doctor Chen, the chief surgeon for this operation. Take a look at the medical records first, Chen.¡± Chen Cang nodded and took the records. Guo Cheng, however, was wide-eyed, ¡°Director¡­this¡­this is a galldder-duodenal fist operation, a major surgery, and you¡¯re letting a junior doctor perform it? Is that appropriate?¡± Guo Cheng was considering the patient¡¯s welfare, not looking down on Chen Cang. Chen Cang was just too young, barely in his twenties, a green young fellow. You¡¯re performing this operation? I came all the way here with the patient because I was worried about my own skills not being sufficient! Li Baoshan patted Guo Cheng¡¯s arm reassuringly, ¡°I¡¯m here, don¡¯t worry!¡± After hearing this, Guo Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked nervous at Li Baoshan, ¡°Director, it¡¯s not that 1 don¡¯t have faith, it¡¯s just that the patient¡¯s condition is quite special and I am just concerned. If something goes wrong, our responsibility would be great!¡± After seriously reviewing the examination results, and finding nothing special, Chen Cang said, ¡°Let¡¯s see the situation under theparoscope on the operating table; the records don¡¯t show much.¡± Qin Yue also came over, and as Chen Cang walked towards her, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t help out; just do some recording for me.¡± Qin Yue was slightly startled, ¡°What recording?¡± Chen Cang whispered, ¡°I want to make a summary of experience on difficult cholecystectomies. Record the surgery process for me; I will do a postoperative analysister, mainly take photos.¡± Qin Yue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief; this Chen Cang¡­ was quite bold! Already making an experience summary? This was an attempt by Chen Cang! After all, he had a lot of difficult cholecystectomies to perform here, and they¡¯re hard toe by. Not recording them would be a pity. If he could analyze and summarize these records, andpile them into an experience summary, it could help many people. Moreover, he had discovered that to convince others, one must produce results, and for a young person, the best results are not in anything but scientific research achievements. The surgery began promptly. Chen Cang started exploring with theparoscope when Guo Cheng suddenly suggested, ¡°Laparoscopic surgery has a low safety margin, wouldn¡¯t it be safer to opt for an open procedure?¡± Before Li Baoshan could speak, Chen Cang said calmly, ¡°Director Guo, the patient has severe abdominal infection and obvious adhesions; indeed, an open procedure would have a higher safety margin. ¡°However! The main reason for the adhesions might be due to the duodenal fist, and an open operation would increase many risks, possibly spreading the infection, erging the wound, which is not good for the patient s postoperative recovery. The establishment of pneumoperitoneum underparoscopy can effectively¡­ therefore, I suggest we give priority toparoscopic surgery.¡± Guo Cheng¡¯s face turned red for a moment, ¡°But, this will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the surgery underparoscopy! And whether it¡¯s the suture repair of the duodenum or the removal of the galldder, even the dissection of the Calot¡¯s triangle, it will be very challenging. Can you guarantee the patient¡¯s safety?¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t say much, simply nodding, ¡°Correct, I can!¡± Guo Cheng was at a loss for words. Li Baoshan then intervened soothingly, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s begin. Don¡¯t worry, Director Guo. If Doctor Chen couldplete a cholecystectomy under the conditions of Mirrizi¡¯s syndrome, the duodenal fist shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem.¡± At these words, Guo Cheng was suddenly dumbfounded. ps: The chapter name in the following chapter is wrong, but don¡¯t mind the name, it doesn¡¯t affect reading.. Chapter 111: Support for the Eighth Hospital (Seeking First Subscription - Extra for Brother Mo Chu) Chapter 111: Support for the Eighth Hospital (Seeking First Subscription ¨C Extra for Brother Mo Chu) Trantor: 549690339 Laparoscopic surgery isn¡¯t just limited toparoscopy! There¡¯s also hysteroscopy, thoracoscopy¡­ All of these procedures require ¡°drilling wells¡± to operate, and Chen Gang¡¯s unintentional act would have an impact far beyond what he could have imagined. Of course, even if we¡¯re talking about suturing, the oues can look very different depending on who performs them; striving for a scarless result like Chen Gang¡¯s is not exactly realistic. After work, Chen Cang was going to visit the Eighth Municipal Hospital, having arranged to perform a surgery there. He took a hurried taxi ride and arrived to find Guo Cheng already waiting to greet him early. The surgery was not particrly difficult, but the patient was a retired veteran, quite advanced in age. Guo Cheng was still worried about the stability of the patient¡¯s condition and hoped Chen Cang coulde over to help, so in case of any emergency, there would be room to maneuver. Life is always full of coincidences. Just as the first surgery began, it brought a humbling moment for many doctors! The elderly patient was over eighty years old, an age group for which many hospitals are reluctant to perform surgeries. However, the old man was in rtively good health without too manyplications, his only medical history being chronic gastroenteritis. The old man, named Jin Doni, was always cheerful. Even as he was about to undergo surgery, he wasforting the doctors, ¡°Young people should get their hands moving. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± The elderly man had a positive attitude. Reportedly, he had served in the military in his youth,ter working in the public security bureau, at a time when he rode horses. However, due to frequently carrying out missions, his eating schedule was often irregr, leading to a host of digestive system issues when he was younger. He suffered from cholecystitis many times but never underwent surgery until recently, when gallstones caused unbearable pain, prompting the operation. ording to Guo Cheng, the old man¡¯s children were all capable. The eldest son ran apany in the United States, the second child worked in the administrative system, and the daughter married the president of a bank. They were all busy and seldom came home throughout the year. The old man¡¯s spouse was waiting outside the operating room to care for him after the surgery, and the family had a housekeeper, who was also a distant rtive, to look after the daily needs of the two. As the surgery began, Guo Cheng personally performed it with Chen Cang assisting. There was also a young doctor by his side, probably a recent graduate student, still green and looking lost at the operating table. Guo Cheng never expected to run into trouble as soon as he inserted theparoscope! The abdominal adhesions were severe, and upon the insertion of theparoscope, they discovered a significant internal fist in the duodenum resulting from an ulcer and chronic injury to the colon due to long-term inmmatory adhesion. If left untreated, it could lead to a dyed rupture before long! This startled Guo Cheng! Chen Cang decisively said, ¡°Prepare forparotomy!¡± Guo Cheng was somewhat panicked but took a deep breath, changed the instruments, and prepared for theparotomy. Seeing that Guo Cheng was nervous, Chen Cang said, ¡°Shall I do it?¡± Guo Cheng hurriedly nodded! The surgical department at the Eighth Municipal Hospital was really underdeveloped; even the head of the department was like this. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling pity¡ªthe operating room equipment was very new, he could tell by the feel that it was expensive! Yet, a hospital like this, with luxury hardware facilities, had doctors whose skill levels and quality were somewhat¡­ hard to look at! Guo Cheng should not be older than forty, younger than old Chen, and in terms of skill¡­ was a notch below. Chen Cang really didn¡¯t understand how he became the head of the department. No wonder those family members preferred surgeries elsewhere. If you ran the department well, who would go out for surgery? But all of this had nothing to do with Chen Cang; he was there to perform surgery! Meanwhile, Feng Aihua, Jin Doni¡¯s spouse, sat anxiously in the waiting area outside the operating room, while her niece (the housekeeper) Yang Yani, who was at her side,forted her, ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry. My uncle will be blessed by providence. There¡¯s no need for concern!¡± Feng Aihua sighed, smiled, and gently patted Yang Yani¡¯s hand, slowly saying, ¡°Yani, you don¡¯t understand, when people get old, the person they care about the most is their spouse. At my age, I don¡¯t count on my children, nor do I rely on them, but on your uncle to get by. If your uncle were gone, I wouldn¡¯t have much reason to live.¡± ¡°Your uncle, he¡¯s my one concern, grandchildren have their own blessings, and you can¡¯t control that. All I hope is for your uncle to be safe and stable. Sometimes I think, it might be better for him to go first, so he wouldn¡¯t have to live alone if I passed away earlier. Despite him being a soldier all his life and catching so many criminals, he¡¯s actually very soft-hearted.¡± ¡°I am stronger than him¡­¡± When people get old, they tend to ramble on, and with her children not around, Feng Aihua only had Yang Yani to talk to. Thankfully, Yani took care of everything in daily life, cooking and cleaning, which kept Feng Aihua presentable and clean. Feng Aihua was one for appearances, she liked to be respectable and clean, but with old age, sometimes it¡¯s not up to you. Even your children might not take care of you as thoroughly as Yani did, keeping everything spotlessly clean and tidy. At that moment, Yang Yani¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw: ¡°Jin Qingzhi.¡± Yang Yani said, ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s Brother Qingzhi¡¯s call.¡± Upon seeing it was her eldest, Feng Aihua said, ¡°Answer it.¡± No sooner had the phone been answered than a scolding came through: ¡°Yang Yani, my dad¡¯s gotten senile, and you¡¯re following suit? Dad is old, and you let him go to the retirees¡¯ hospital for surgery. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not even looking at what the retirees¡¯ hospital has turned into. Just listening to an old person¡¯s words, old people are useless, you need to persuade them more for me. Their generation¡¯s thinking is outdated; what era are we in now¡­¡± Yang Yani was scolded for a good while but didn¡¯t talkback; she was already used to it. Feng Aihua, who was beside her, couldn¡¯t bear to listen any longer and took the phone: ¡°Jin Qingzhi, if you can speak properly do so, if not, then don¡¯t speak at all!¡± After that, Feng Aihua hung up the phone directly! It wasn¡¯t long before the phone rang again. Yang Yani, feeling awkward, quickly answeredit: ¡°Brother.¡± Jin Qingzhi didn¡¯t dare to be too bold this time, but his tone was still unpleasant: ¡°Yani, don¡¯t pass the phone to my mom. I¡¯m talking about something important. I know about the surgery, and I have brought an expert from the capital specifically for my dad¡¯s operation. I¡¯m at the hospital now; where are you?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Yani quickly informed Feng Aihua: ¡°Auntie, Brother Qingzhi has brought a capital¡¯s expert to the hospital!¡± Jin Qingzhi, apanied by his old ssmate, now the deputy head of hepatobiliary surgery at the 301 Hospital, had speciallye to Anyan City for his father¡¯s surgery. The two were already sitting in the director¡¯s office. ¡°Director Sun, we really appreciate your assistance with this matter,¡± Jin Qingzhi said with a smile. Sun Zhengwei replied, ¡°Not at all, Mr. Jin¡¯s surgery is very important to us, too. Director Guo is personally performing the surgery, and we¡¯ve even brought in a doctor from the provincial second hospital. They¡¯ve started already; let¡¯s go have a look.¡± ¡°Qingzhi, you¡¯re so filial, managing to bring over Director Li from our capital, who is a big name in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. Impressive!¡± The three made polite conversation as they headed towards the operating room. The head nurse, learning of the director¡¯s arrival, also hurried to meet them. Sun Zhengwei asked, ¡°Has Director Guo¡¯s surgery begun?¡± The head nurse nodded, ¡°Just started.¡± Hearing this, the three of them were pleased; they had arrived just in time! Jin Qingzhi cautiously asked, ¡°Can I go in, too?¡± Sun Zhengwei nodded, ¡°Come on in.¡± Chapter 113: Single for 20 Years Since Birth (Please Subscribe - For slivermoonlz) Chapter 113: Single for 20 Years Since Birth (Please Subscribe ¨C For slivermoonlz) Trantor: 549690339 The following surgery no longer worried Li He about whether Chen Cang would seed. Because he knew that this young physician was highly skilled, especially when it came to handling details, which always impressed him and sometimes even inspired him in his work. Moreover¡­ what surprised Li He was this: Chen Gang¡¯s technique was extremely standardized. Li He couldn¡¯t find any faults or issues with it. If Li He had toment, he¡¯d describe the surgery as a textbook operation. Could it have been anything but standardized? With ¡°expert guidance¡± in effect, it would have been difficult for Chen Cang to be anything less. As for technical prowess, Li He could understand; after all, it¡¯s a doctor¡¯s job, and practice makes perfect. But¡­ There was something else he was very curious about! How had this young doctor developed such strength and stability in his hands, without sacrificing flexibility? How had he done it? This operation hadsted three hours already, and it was high-intensity, yet not once did Chen Gang¡¯s hands tremble, steady as a bell. What kind of strength and endurance must that require? How remarkable were his hands? Finally, the surgery was over! Li He couldn¡¯t help but burst into apuse! After all, today¡¯s operation had withstood scrutiny in both intensity and precision¡ªit was genuine proficiency that couldn¡¯t be achieved without solid fundamentals. And this young doctor had gone the entire procedure without a break, handling each surgical task with great finesse. Especially the repair and suturing of the duodenum and the colon were so strong that Li He couldn¡¯t resist giving a thumbs up. Although Guo Cheng¡¯s skills weren¡¯t up to par, he still had an eye for talent. He followed Li He¡¯s lead and began to apud as well. After pulling down his mask, Chen Cang looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile as a gesture of acknowledgment, then turned to Guo Cheng, ¡°Mission aplished!¡± Guo Cheng¡¯s face beamed with joy, ¡°Fantastic! You did such a great job.¡± ¡°By the way, let me introduce you; his is Director Li He, an expert from the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at Capital¡¯s 301 Hospital!¡± In fact, Li He wasn¡¯t that old; he was just past forty. Li He hurried to shake hands, ¡°Hello, Dr. Chen, I¡¯m Li He. Today¡¯s surgery was very enlightening for me!¡± Chen Cang smiled and unconsciously applied a bit of strength to the handshake, making Li He instantly feel a considerable force, which startled him internally. Dr. Chen had quite powerful hands. ¡°Director Li, hello, I¡¯m Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital.¡± Once Chen Cang removed his mask, Li He noticed how young he was! ¡°Dr. Chen is so young! Truly a rising star!¡± Li He eximed with heartfelt praise. Unlike the internal medicine field, surgery is a young man¡¯s game¡ªthe younger you are when you begin, the better. Of course, that¡¯s only if you manage to get started in the first ce. If you¡¯re just an ordinary young doctor, working in a county-level hospital doing surgery, you might not get started for a long time. This ¡®getting started¡¯ is about getting into ¡®the circle¡¯. In Li He¡¯s eyes, someone like Chen Cang was definitely a promising neer in the circle, one who, even if not renowned today, was destined for great things in the future. After removing their gowns and washing their hands, they exchanged contact information. It was as if they felt a mutual admiration for each other. Pushing the patient out of the surgery room, Chen Cang walked alongside Li He and Guo Cheng. By then, Sun Zhengwei, Jin Qingzhi, and the family members had been waiting outside for a long time, and Yang Yani hurried over to greet everyone as they came out. ¡°Doctor, how was it?¡± Guo Cheng spoke indifferently, ¡°The surgery was sessful, but¡­ the old man¡¯s condition is not good. After opening the abdomen, we discovered many severeplications. Fortunately, we had experts here today, and the surgery went surprisingly well. Rest assured!¡± Upon hearing the first part of Guo Cheng¡¯s statement, everyone shuddered in fear, but thetter part put their minds at ease. Sun Zhengwei said to Feng Aihua with a smile, ¡°Auntie Feng, your son is quite aplished, able to invite experts from the capital to do the surgery. We have him to thank for this!¡± Sun Zhengwei¡¯s intention was nothing more than to build a rtionship with Jin Qingzhi and Li He. Jin Qingzhi, too, looked at Feng Aihua and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Mom, you see, Dad and you are getting older. If it wasn¡¯t for Li He, something would have definitely gone wrong today. You all¡­ are getting on in years and can¡¯t keep up with the times. Can¡¯t you listen to us? What harm could we do to you?¡± ¡± I will discuss it with my younger brother and younger sister and prepare to move you to the capital. We can buy a house together¡­¡± At that moment, what Jin Qingzhi said wasn¡¯t wrong, as older people can indeed be quite stubborn. However, the elderly are ustomed to their social circles and are unwilling to change. Their neighbors are friends, neighbors, and old revolutionaryrades. Moreover, here they can call upon familiar doctors for medicine or injections with just one phone call. These were all family matters, and Chen Cang did not want to meddle. He nced at the time, and it was nearly three in the afternoon. After greeting Guo Cheng and Li He, he got up to leave. Seeing this, Li He hurriedly pulled Jin Qingzhi aside and said, ¡°Qingzhi, today you owe Dr. Chen a big thank you. From beginning to end, the surgery was done by Dr. Chen. I didn¡¯t even assist.¡± ¡°Dr. Chen¡¯s skills and level are even more impressive than mine. And today, your father¡¯s situation was indeed serious. It wasn¡¯t just a simple gallstone; the entire abdominal cavity had severe adhesions, duodenal fists, and a damaged colon, all needing repair. Dr. Chen¡¯s surgery was meticulous and excellent!¡± ¡°So for today¡¯s surgery, you really need to thank Dr. Chen!¡± With that, Li He left everyone dumbfounded! So the surgery was performed by that young man just now. Guo Cheng also nodded in agreement, ¡°Right, today¡¯s surgery was performed by Dr. Chen. His level is very high!¡± The new postgraduates behind were full of envy, looking at Chen Cang as he departed with the cool air of an idol. Hearing this, Jin Qingzhi¡¯s expression changed, and he hurried out after Chen Cang, with Li He and Guo Cheng following. Frantically, Jin Qingzhi caught up to Chen Cang and pulled out a stack of money from his bag, at least ten thousand, ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯m sorry, I¡­ have no other intentions, this is for your hard work, expertise! Thank you for your efforts today.¡± Chen Cang hurriedly declined. He hade at the invitation of Guo Cheng, and the expert fee had already been given, not a small amount, a thousand yuan. Although it wasn¡¯t muchpared to the surgery itself, it was what had been agreed upon. And¡­ Chen Gang¡¯s biggest gain was from the system, and today¡¯s gains could be said to be quite substantial. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t had the chance to lookyet! After listening, Jin Qingzhi stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do. ¡°This¡­ Dr. Chen, I¡­ you¡­ this is very embarrassing for me.¡± Chen Cangughed, ¡°You don¡¯t need to do this, it¡¯s my job. Moreover, Director Guo and I have already settled things. Mr. Jin, you just go back and take good care of your parents. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Having said that, Chen Cang walked outside. Li He suddenly remembered he still had a question to ask and quickly followed, asking softly, ¡°Dr. Chen, I have a question, if you don¡¯t mind me asking.¡± Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Li He smiled sheepishly, his face full of hope, ¡°When I watched you performing surgery, your hands were strong and enduring, flexible yet stable. I wanted to ask¡­ how did you develop such strength and stability in your hands?¡± Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! Can I tell you about the attribute of my gloves? Besides that! He felt that this question¡­ wasn¡¯t really a question at all. Thinking this, Chen Cang took a deep breath, ¡°I¡¯ve been single for twenty-seven years!¡± After saying that, Chen Cang turned and walked away with style. Leaving everyone with his retreating figure! Li He was baffled, unaware of the reference. Having gone to America to study at the age of 12 and had his first girlfriend at 15, a passionate, fiery, and beautiful French girl, he had never been single for longer than a month. How could he grasp the sorrow of Chen Cang? Even Jin Qingzhi looked puzzled. Taking a deep breath, Li He felt that he had to ponder this issue with his Ph.D. students after returning to the hospital. Does being single truly enhance the steadiness and strength of one¡¯s hands during surgery? After all, his Ph.D. student had also been single for over thirty years¡­ Jin Qingzhi stood up quickly, ¡°Dr. Chen, I have a car, let me drive you to work.¡± Chapter 114: Special Effect Card (Please Subscribe First ) Chapter 114: Special Effect Card (Please Subscribe First ) Trantor: 549690339 | Jin Qingzhi insisted on giving him a ride. Unable to decline his persistent hospitality, Chen Cang had no choice but to ept. The car, which hade from the capital, bore a Beijing license te. 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! Sessful IV38 rare suturing of a duodenal fist yields: 1. Special Training xi; 2. Intestinal Anastomosis Experience +300; 3. Clinical Experience +150; RMB +300.] [Ding! Sessful 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, afterpletion and passing the assessment, will endow your Intestinal Anastomosis technique with this special effect.] Overjoyed, Chen Cang immediately chose to activate it! [Ding! Congrattions 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 asional 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 ispleted, a score will be given, and reasons will be analyzed. Please begin¡­ Countdown: 100 hours.] Another hundred hours. Training it is¡­ Intestinal adhesion urs 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 mostmon 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 arge 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! Suturingplete, score -20 points, intraoperative bleeding and effusion urred, increasing adhesion. Chen Cang almost vomited blood! There were negative scores? He continued¡­ Ding! Suturingplete, score -10 points, intraoperative congestive edema urred, 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 neurovascr 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 andplete 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 ept it!¡± They bothughed 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 neen 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 ces like Hengdian. Aspiring to be a movie star was something that would beughed 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 epted. 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 ssify acute abdominal conditions based on various signs, physiological and biochemical indices, imaging data, etc., and to provide a diagnostic and treatment n. 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 exnations and helped Chen Cang with the differential diagnosis. Ding!

She followed him straight into the men¡¯s changing room. Chen Cang was at a loss for words, ¡°This is the men¡¯s changing room, big sister. Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re t-chested, you can pretend to be a guy!¡± Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a disdainful look, ¡°Pfft¡­ It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t taken you into the women¡¯s changing room before. Look at you acting all high and mighty.¡± Chen Cang was left speechless by Qin Yue¡¯s remark. ¡°Chen Cang, don¡¯t forget me when youe into wealth!¡± Qin Yue closed the door and said with a sinister re. Chen Cang scoffed, ¡°What ing into wealth¡¯? Myst name is Chen, I am Chen Fu Gui! My ancestors werendlords, what¡¯s wrong with the eightrge tile-roofed houses in the vige? Are you interested in my family¡¯s property? Want to be the daughter-inw of andlord family?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s face showed disdain, ¡°Oh, cut the act. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t see you getting out of a Maserati president series just now. Chen Cang, have youtched onto a rich woman? Can¡¯t save the rich with medicine, so you resort to kidney warfare?¡± Chen Cang really wanted to spit in Qin Yue¡¯s face¡ªshe was bing more and more rotten: ¡°Do I look like that kind of person? Please¡­¡± Qin Yue nodded earnestly with a twisted mouth, ¡°You¡¯re not like that, you¡¯re exactly that!¡± Chen Cang felt that talking to Qin Yue was aplete waste of saliva and utterly pointless. Chen Cang put on his white coat and looked at Qin Yue, ¡°You better hurry up and find someone, or else¡­ you¡¯ll rot to the point where no one dares to want you.¡± Qin Yue huffed, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry! I won¡¯t cling to you even if no one wants me. Come clean, didn¡¯t you have a date with a rich woman this afternoon?¡± Chen Cang sighed and said, ¡°A patient transferred from City Hospital No. 8 yesterday, I did the surgery. The director asked me to help with a surgery today, so I went over at noon.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately widened her eyes in shock, ¡°Holy crap, Chen Cang, you¡¯re going out performing surgeries now? For real?¡± ¡°Come on, tell me, how did it feel? Did you have any nurse sisters apany you out there?¡± Chen Cang quickly covered Qin Yue¡¯s mouth, ¡°Big sister, can you keep it down? Do you have to let everyone know? This isn¡¯t something to be proud of.¡± At that moment, someone happened to walk in through the door. Just as Wang Qian came in, he saw Chen Cang covering Qin Yue¡¯s mouth and pressing her against the wall. (The changing room was very narrow, simr to a corridor, with a row of cabs and a set of hooks for hanging clothes) Wang Qian was momentarily blinded by the scene before him, reacting quickly, ¡°Oh my goodness, I¡¯m blind, I can¡¯t see anything.¡± He turned around, closed the door, and whipped out his keys to lock the changing room door with a series of quick clicks. The smooth and sharp operation was worthy of an emergency room surgeon¡¯s professional demeanor! After leaving, Wang Qian pondered thoughtfully, deciding that he should help set up this pair of lone men and women in the emergency room. Standing at the doorway, Wang Yong happened toe by. ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, what are you doing standing here? Isn¡¯t the air conditioning in the office cool enough? ¡± Wang Yong asked, seeing Wang Qian blocking the door. Wang Qian shook his head, ¡°No, no, no, there¡¯s no one inside. I mean¡­ Chen Cang and Qin Yue aren¡¯t in there.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Yong was a bit confused, but then he quickly caught on and decided to stand at the doorway as well, ¡°Hmm, it is cooler here.¡± ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, what are they doing inside?¡± Wang Yong whispered, his face full of gossip. Wang Qian replied with an air of righteousness, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t see them hugging each other, and I didn¡¯t see Chen Cang touching Qin Yue¡¯s face¡­¡± At this time, a few young nurses from the women¡¯s changing room, having just changed, stood at the door with looks of surprise, ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Wang Yong gave an awkward smile, ¡°Just enjoying the cooler air here.¡± Wang Qian shushed them, ¡°Keep it down, Chen Cang and Qin Yue aren¡¯t in there!¡± The nurses¡¯ curiosity skyrocketed upon hearing this. They leaned in close to the door, eager to discover the truth. Suddenly, the door swung open! Chen Cang and Qin Yue stood in the doorway, looking out at the crowd of people. Wang Qian coughed as if to clear his throat, ¡°Ah, what a coincidence.¡± Wang Yong and the others alsoughed sheepishly, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Such a coincidence¡­¡± The afternoon was heavy with surgeries, and as Wang Yong continued to organize medical records, Chen Cang suddenly heard the head nurse urging, ¡°Doctor Chen, there¡¯s an emergency patient, please take a look.¡± Chen Cang stepped out. He saw an elderly male being wheeled into the emergency room on a wheelchair, pushed by a well-dressed, neatly-coiffed woman. The woman wore sses and carried a purse, in her forties and seemed cultured, her face calm andposed. In contrast, the man in the wheelchair looked to be in his eighties, his face etched with pain and flushed, hunched over, hands clutching his stomach, visibly restless yet unable to stand up, all in all, agitated. Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the elderly gentleman?¡± The old man opened his mouth, ¡°Ugh¡­ Hmm¡­¡± The woman smiled, ¡°My dad has dementia, he can¡¯t speak clearly.¡± Chen Cang nodded, then asked the woman, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the patient?¡± The woman exined, ¡°He ate dumplingsst night, didn¡¯t finish them, and had the leftovers cold this morning. Then he started having stomach pains in the morning.¡± As she spoke, the woman scolded, ¡°I told him not to eat leftovers, he¡¯s just too thrifty, stubborn in his old age.¡± After finishing, the woman said, ¡°I came to buy some medicine for a stomach ache.¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, youe to the emergency room to buy medicine? Chen Cang looked at the old man and felt he didn¡¯t quite seem like a gastroenteritis patient. Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯ll examine the old man, okay?¡± The woman nced at her watch, urging, ¡°Yeah, okay, please hurry, doctor, and then prescribe him some medicine. The outpatient clinic is too crowded, it¡¯s impossible to get seen and I have a meeting I¡¯m in a hurry for shortly.¡± Chen Cang realized that thisdy was treating the emergency department as an outpatient clinic. However, since it wasn¡¯t busy, it didn¡¯t matter. Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Xiaolin, help me move the elderly man to the bed.¡± Xiaolin was a nurse in her early twenties, rarely wore makeup, frankly because she wasn¡¯t skilled at it, but she was incredibly dependable, technically proficient, and could endure hardship, the type of nurse who could well substitute for a nursing assistant. The two of them helped the old man onto the bed. After examining him, Chen Cang began to frown! Because the old man showed no signs of having an upset stomach from bad food. ¡± Has the elderly man had diarrhea?¡± Chen Cang inquired. The woman shook her head, ¡°No, but he did vomit a few times this morning.¡± Chen Gang¡¯s heart sank, and he asked a flurry of questions, to which the woman was bing increasingly impatient, but she still managed to keep her patience ¡ª perhaps due to ¡°good upbringing.¡± ¡°Pain, vomiting, bloating, obstruction!¡± A name shed through Chen Gang¡¯s mind! It likely had nothing to do with eating overnight cold dumplings. Even if it were something else entirely, it would have caused difort. Chen Cang even felt that the old man¡¯s condition hadn¡¯t started today, but the dumplings had merely exacerbated it. The old man¡¯s bowel sounds were significantly increased! Considering his long-standing gastrointestinal issues and a colon surgery three years ago¡­ It was just this morning that Chen Cang hadpleted training on acute abdomen! All clues were pointing Chen Cang to one very likely culprit that was about to emerge! ¡°Acute intestinal obstruction!¡± A verymon yet potentially fatal disease! ps: Suddenly there were too many updates, and the chapter sequence got messed up; the content is unaffected, apologies¡­ Also, thanks to Miss Qingtuan for her 100000 reward, the Qingtuan Alliance is mighty, and you¡¯ll get an extra update tomorrow!

N?v(el)B\\jnn There¡¯s also hysteroscopy, thoracoscopy¡­ All of these procedures require ¡°drilling wells¡± to operate, and Chen Gang¡¯s unintentional act would have an impact far beyond what he could have imagined. Of course, even if we¡¯re talking about suturing, the oues can look very different depending on who performs them; striving for a scarless result like Chen Gang¡¯s is not exactly realistic. After work, Chen Cang was going to visit the Eighth Municipal Hospital, having arranged to perform a surgery there. He took a hurried taxi ride and arrived to find Guo Cheng already waiting to greet him early. The surgery was not particrly difficult, but the patient was a retired veteran, quite advanced in age. Guo Cheng was still worried about the stability of the patient¡¯s condition and hoped Chen Cang coulde over to help, so in case of any emergency, there would be room to maneuver. Life is always full of coincidences. Just as the first surgery began, it brought a humbling moment for many doctors! The elderly patient was over eighty years old, an age group for which many hospitals are reluctant to perform surgeries. However, the old man was in rtively good health without too manyplications, his only medical history being chronic gastroenteritis. The old man, named Jin Doni, was always cheerful. Even as he was about to undergo surgery, he wasforting the doctors, ¡°Young people should get their hands moving. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± The elderly man had a positive attitude. Reportedly, he had served in the military in his youth,ter working in the public security bureau, at a time when he rode horses. However, due to frequently carrying out missions, his eating schedule was often irregr, leading to a host of digestive system issues when he was younger. He suffered from cholecystitis many times but never underwent surgery until recently, when gallstones caused unbearable pain, prompting the operation. ording to Guo Cheng, the old man¡¯s children were all capable. The eldest son ran apany in the United States, the second child worked in the administrative system, and the daughter married the president of a bank. They were all busy and seldom came home throughout the year. The old man¡¯s spouse was waiting outside the operating room to care for him after the surgery, and the family had a housekeeper, who was also a distant rtive, to look after the daily needs of the two. As the surgery began, Guo Cheng personally performed it with Chen Cang assisting. There was also a young doctor by his side, probably a recent graduate student, still green and looking lost at the operating table. Guo Cheng never expected to run into trouble as soon as he inserted theparoscope! The abdominal adhesions were severe, and upon the insertion of theparoscope, they discovered a significant internal fist in the duodenum resulting from an ulcer and chronic injury to the colon due to long-term inmmatory adhesion. If left untreated, it could lead to a dyed rupture before long! This startled Guo Cheng! Chen Cang decisively said, ¡°Prepare forparotomy!¡± Guo Cheng was somewhat panicked but took a deep breath, changed the instruments, and prepared for theparotomy. Seeing that Guo Cheng was nervous, Chen Cang said, ¡°Shall I do it?¡± Guo Cheng hurriedly nodded! The surgical department at the Eighth Municipal Hospital was really underdeveloped; even the head of the department was like this. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling pity¡ªthe operating room equipment was very new, he could tell by the feel that it was expensive! Yet, a hospital like this, with luxury hardware facilities, had doctors whose skill levels and quality were somewhat¡­ hard to look at! Guo Cheng should not be older than forty, younger than old Chen, and in terms of skill¡­ was a notch below. Chen Cang really didn¡¯t understand how he became the head of the department. No wonder those family members preferred surgeries elsewhere. If you ran the department well, who would go out for surgery? But all of this had nothing to do with Chen Cang; he was there to perform surgery! Meanwhile, Feng Aihua, Jin Doni¡¯s spouse, sat anxiously in the waiting area outside the operating room, while her niece (the housekeeper) Yang Yani, who was at her side,forted her, ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry. My uncle will be blessed by providence. There¡¯s no need for concern!¡± Feng Aihua sighed, smiled, and gently patted Yang Yani¡¯s hand, slowly saying, ¡°Yani, you don¡¯t understand, when people get old, the person they care about the most is their spouse. At my age, I don¡¯t count on my children, nor do I rely on them, but on your uncle to get by. If your uncle were gone, I wouldn¡¯t have much reason to live.¡± ¡°Your uncle, he¡¯s my one concern, grandchildren have their own blessings, and you can¡¯t control that. All I hope is for your uncle to be safe and stable. Sometimes I think, it might be better for him to go first, so he wouldn¡¯t have to live alone if I passed away earlier. Despite him being a soldier all his life and catching so many criminals, he¡¯s actually very soft-hearted.¡± ¡°I am stronger than him¡­¡± When people get old, they tend to ramble on, and with her children not around, Feng Aihua only had Yang Yani to talk to. Thankfully, Yani took care of everything in daily life, cooking and cleaning, which kept Feng Aihua presentable and clean. Feng Aihua was one for appearances, she liked to be respectable and clean, but with old age, sometimes it¡¯s not up to you. Even your children might not take care of you as thoroughly as Yani did, keeping everything spotlessly clean and tidy. At that moment, Yang Yani¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw: ¡°Jin Qingzhi.¡± Yang Yani said, ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s Brother Qingzhi¡¯s call.¡± Upon seeing it was her eldest, Feng Aihua said, ¡°Answer it.¡± No sooner had the phone been answered than a scolding came through: ¡°Yang Yani, my dad¡¯s gotten senile, and you¡¯re following suit? Dad is old, and you let him go to the retirees¡¯ hospital for surgery. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not even looking at what the retirees¡¯ hospital has turned into. Just listening to an old person¡¯s words, old people are useless, you need to persuade them more for me. Their generation¡¯s thinking is outdated; what era are we in now¡­¡± Yang Yani was scolded for a good while but didn¡¯t talkback; she was already used to it. Feng Aihua, who was beside her, couldn¡¯t bear to listen any longer and took the phone: ¡°Jin Qingzhi, if you can speak properly do so, if not, then don¡¯t speak at all!¡± After that, Feng Aihua hung up the phone directly! It wasn¡¯t long before the phone rang again. Yang Yani, feeling awkward, quickly answeredit: ¡°Brother.¡± Jin Qingzhi didn¡¯t dare to be too bold this time, but his tone was still unpleasant: ¡°Yani, don¡¯t pass the phone to my mom. I¡¯m talking about something important. I know about the surgery, and I have brought an expert from the capital specifically for my dad¡¯s operation. I¡¯m at the hospital now; where are you?¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Yani quickly informed Feng Aihua: ¡°Auntie, Brother Qingzhi has brought a capital¡¯s expert to the hospital!¡± Jin Qingzhi, apanied by his old ssmate, now the deputy head of hepatobiliary surgery at the 301 Hospital, had speciallye to Anyan City for his father¡¯s surgery. The two were already sitting in the director¡¯s office. ¡°Director Sun, we really appreciate your assistance with this matter,¡± Jin Qingzhi said with a smile. Sun Zhengwei replied, ¡°Not at all, Mr. Jin¡¯s surgery is very important to us, too. Director Guo is personally performing the surgery, and we¡¯ve even brought in a doctor from the provincial second hospital. They¡¯ve started already; let¡¯s go have a look.¡± ¡°Qingzhi, you¡¯re so filial, managing to bring over Director Li from our capital, who is a big name in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. Impressive!¡± The three made polite conversation as they headed towards the operating room. The head nurse, learning of the director¡¯s arrival, also hurried to meet them. Sun Zhengwei asked, ¡°Has Director Guo¡¯s surgery begun?¡± The head nurse nodded, ¡°Just started.¡± Hearing this, the three of them were pleased; they had arrived just in time! Jin Qingzhi cautiously asked, ¡°Can I go in, too?¡± Sun Zhengwei nodded, ¡°Come on in.¡± Chapter 117: Xiao Tianhua’s Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions) Chapter 117: Xiao Tianhua¡¯s Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions) Trantor: 549690339 | The new apartment wasn¡¯t as spacious as the first one, and it was smaller in size, but the lighting and venttion were good. It took all morning to tidy up, and in the afternoon I still had to go to Zhang Zhixin¡¯s ce. 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 youing home?¡± Chen Luoughed, ¡°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 neverined to others, even when he got beaten up at school, he would return home with a smile iming 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 intoughter, ¡°Bro, you don¡¯t know me at all. I get along well with everyone wherever I go. Thedy 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 nning 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 butugh, ¡°Bro, stop showing off. With that little sry of yours, hurry up and find a sister-inw. When I be 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 ie 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 ofughter 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 atst! 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 rtionships might be,parisons 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 sessful career, and you¡¯re so beautiful and chic!¡± If thispliment had been made half a month earlier, Xiao Tianhua would have definitely taken it as ttery, even the kind that was sycophantic and tantly 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 ept 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 busytely. 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 aplete 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 stic surgery anymore, but rather ¡®micro-aesthetics¡¯! It¡¯s about enhancing your strengths and adjusting your ws, bncing 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 ws. But what¡¯s most important at our age? Charisma! I¡¯vee to understand stic 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 popr ce 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 nned 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 sess! 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 thesest 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.

Because he knew that this young physician was highly skilled, especially when it came to handling details, which always impressed him and sometimes even inspired him in his work. Moreover¡­ what surprised Li He was this: Chen Gang¡¯s technique was extremely standardized. Li He couldn¡¯t find any faults or issues with it. If Li He had toment, he¡¯d describe the surgery as a textbook operation. Could it have been anything but standardized? With ¡°expert guidance¡± in effect, it would have been difficult for Chen Cang to be anything less. As for technical prowess, Li He could understand; after all, it¡¯s a doctor¡¯s job, and practice makes perfect. But¡­ There was something else he was very curious about! How had this young doctor developed such strength and stability in his hands, without sacrificing flexibility? How had he done it? This operation hadsted three hours already, and it was high-intensity, yet not once did Chen Gang¡¯s hands tremble, steady as a bell. What kind of strength and endurance must that require? How remarkable were his hands? Finally, the surgery was over! Li He couldn¡¯t help but burst into apuse! After all, today¡¯s operation had withstood scrutiny in both intensity and precision¡ªit was genuine proficiency that couldn¡¯t be achieved without solid fundamentals. And this young doctor had gone the entire procedure without a break, handling each surgical task with great finesse. Especially the repair and suturing of the duodenum and the colon were so strong that Li He couldn¡¯t resist giving a thumbs up. Although Guo Cheng¡¯s skills weren¡¯t up to par, he still had an eye for talent. He followed Li He¡¯s lead and began to apud as well. After pulling down his mask, Chen Cang looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile as a gesture of acknowledgment, then turned to Guo Cheng, ¡°Mission aplished!¡± Guo Cheng¡¯s face beamed with joy, ¡°Fantastic! You did such a great job.¡± ¡°By the way, let me introduce you; his is Director Li He, an expert from the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at Capital¡¯s 301 Hospital!¡± In fact, Li He wasn¡¯t that old; he was just past forty. Li He hurried to shake hands, ¡°Hello, Dr. Chen, I¡¯m Li He. Today¡¯s surgery was very enlightening for me!¡± Chen Cang smiled and unconsciously applied a bit of strength to the handshake, making Li He instantly feel a considerable force, which startled him internally. Dr. Chen had quite powerful hands. ¡°Director Li, hello, I¡¯m Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital.¡± Once Chen Cang removed his mask, Li He noticed how young he was! ¡°Dr. Chen is so young! Truly a rising star!¡± Li He eximed with heartfelt praise. Unlike the internal medicine field, surgery is a young man¡¯s game¡ªthe younger you are when you begin, the better. Of course, that¡¯s only if you manage to get started in the first ce. If you¡¯re just an ordinary young doctor, working in a county-level hospital doing surgery, you might not get started for a long time. This ¡®getting started¡¯ is about getting into ¡®the circle¡¯. In Li He¡¯s eyes, someone like Chen Cang was definitely a promising neer in the circle, one who, even if not renowned today, was destined for great things in the future. After removing their gowns and washing their hands, they exchanged contact information. It was as if they felt a mutual admiration for each other. Pushing the patient out of the surgery room, Chen Cang walked alongside Li He and Guo Cheng. By then, Sun Zhengwei, Jin Qingzhi, and the family members had been waiting outside for a long time, and Yang Yani hurried over to greet everyone as they came out. ¡°Doctor, how was it?¡± Guo Cheng spoke indifferently, ¡°The surgery was sessful, but¡­ the old man¡¯s condition is not good. After opening the abdomen, we discovered many severeplications. Fortunately, we had experts here today, and the surgery went surprisingly well. Rest assured!¡± Upon hearing the first part of Guo Cheng¡¯s statement, everyone shuddered in fear, but thetter part put their minds at ease. Sun Zhengwei said to Feng Aihua with a smile, ¡°Auntie Feng, your son is quite aplished, able to invite experts from the capital to do the surgery. We have him to thank for this!¡± Sun Zhengwei¡¯s intention was nothing more than to build a rtionship with Jin Qingzhi and Li He. Jin Qingzhi, too, looked at Feng Aihua and couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Mom, you see, Dad and you are getting older. If it wasn¡¯t for Li He, something would have definitely gone wrong today. You all¡­ are getting on in years and can¡¯t keep up with the times. Can¡¯t you listen to us? What harm could we do to you?¡± ¡± I will discuss it with my younger brother and younger sister and prepare to move you to the capital. We can buy a house together¡­¡± At that moment, what Jin Qingzhi said wasn¡¯t wrong, as older people can indeed be quite stubborn. However, the elderly are ustomed to their social circles and are unwilling to change. Their neighbors are friends, neighbors, and old revolutionaryrades. Moreover, here they can call upon familiar doctors for medicine or injections with just one phone call. These were all family matters, and Chen Cang did not want to meddle. He nced at the time, and it was nearly three in the afternoon. After greeting Guo Cheng and Li He, he got up to leave. Seeing this, Li He hurriedly pulled Jin Qingzhi aside and said, ¡°Qingzhi, today you owe Dr. Chen a big thank you. From beginning to end, the surgery was done by Dr. Chen. I didn¡¯t even assist.¡± ¡°Dr. Chen¡¯s skills and level are even more impressive than mine. And today, your father¡¯s situation was indeed serious. It wasn¡¯t just a simple gallstone; the entire abdominal cavity had severe adhesions, duodenal fists, and a damaged colon, all needing repair. Dr. Chen¡¯s surgery was meticulous and excellent!¡± ¡°So for today¡¯s surgery, you really need to thank Dr. Chen!¡± With that, Li He left everyone dumbfounded! So the surgery was performed by that young man just now. Guo Cheng also nodded in agreement, ¡°Right, today¡¯s surgery was performed by Dr. Chen. His level is very high!¡± The new postgraduates behind were full of envy, looking at Chen Cang as he departed with the cool air of an idol. Hearing this, Jin Qingzhi¡¯s expression changed, and he hurried out after Chen Cang, with Li He and Guo Cheng following. Frantically, Jin Qingzhi caught up to Chen Cang and pulled out a stack of money from his bag, at least ten thousand, ¡°Dr. Chen, I¡¯m sorry, I¡­ have no other intentions, this is for your hard work, expertise! Thank you for your efforts today.¡± Chen Cang hurriedly declined. He hade at the invitation of Guo Cheng, and the expert fee had already been given, not a small amount, a thousand yuan. Although it wasn¡¯t muchpared to the surgery itself, it was what had been agreed upon. And¡­ Chen Gang¡¯s biggest gain was from the system, and today¡¯s gains could be said to be quite substantial. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t had the chance to lookyet! After listening, Jin Qingzhi stood awkwardly, not knowing what to do. ¡°This¡­ Dr. Chen, I¡­ you¡­ this is very embarrassing for me.¡± Chen Cangughed, ¡°You don¡¯t need to do this, it¡¯s my job. Moreover, Director Guo and I have already settled things. Mr. Jin, you just go back and take good care of your parents. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Having said that, Chen Cang walked outside. Li He suddenly remembered he still had a question to ask and quickly followed, asking softly, ¡°Dr. Chen, I have a question, if you don¡¯t mind me asking.¡± Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Li He smiled sheepishly, his face full of hope, ¡°When I watched you performing surgery, your hands were strong and enduring, flexible yet stable. I wanted to ask¡­ how did you develop such strength and stability in your hands?¡± Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! Can I tell you about the attribute of my gloves? Besides that! He felt that this question¡­ wasn¡¯t really a question at all. Thinking this, Chen Cang took a deep breath, ¡°I¡¯ve been single for twenty-seven years!¡± After saying that, Chen Cang turned and walked away with style. Leaving everyone with his retreating figure! Li He was baffled, unaware of the reference. Having gone to America to study at the age of 12 and had his first girlfriend at 15, a passionate, fiery, and beautiful French girl, he had never been single for longer than a month. How could he grasp the sorrow of Chen Cang? n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Even Jin Qingzhi looked puzzled. Taking a deep breath, Li He felt that he had to ponder this issue with his Ph.D. students after returning to the hospital. Does being single truly enhance the steadiness and strength of one¡¯s hands during surgery? After all, his Ph.D. student had also been single for over thirty years¡­ Jin Qingzhi stood up quickly, ¡°Dr. Chen, I have a car, let me drive you to work.¡± Chapter 114: Special Effect Card (Please Subscribe First ) Chapter 114: Special Effect Card (Please Subscribe First ) Trantor: 549690339 | Jin Qingzhi insisted on giving him a ride. Unable to decline his persistent hospitality, Chen Cang had no choice but to ept. The car, which hade from the capital, bore a Beijing license te. 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! Sessful IV38 rare suturing of a duodenal fist yields: 1. Special Training xi; 2. Intestinal Anastomosis Experience +300; 3. Clinical Experience +150; RMB +300.] n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [Ding! Sessful 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, afterpletion and passing the assessment, will endow your Intestinal Anastomosis technique with this special effect.] Overjoyed, Chen Cang immediately chose to activate it! [Ding! Congrattions 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 asional 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 ispleted, a score will be given, and reasons will be analyzed. Please begin¡­ Countdown: 100 hours.] Another hundred hours. Training it is¡­ Intestinal adhesion urs 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 mostmon 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 arge 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! Suturingplete, score -20 points, intraoperative bleeding and effusion urred, increasing adhesion. Chen Cang almost vomited blood! There were negative scores? He continued¡­ Ding! Suturingplete, score -10 points, intraoperative congestive edema urred, 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 neurovascr 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 andplete 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 ept it!¡± They bothughed 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 neen 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 ces like Hengdian. Aspiring to be a movie star was something that would beughed 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 epted. 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 ssify acute abdominal conditions based on various signs, physiological and biochemical indices, imaging data, etc., and to provide a diagnostic and treatment n. 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 exnations and helped Chen Cang with the differential diagnosis. Ding! Acquired Diagnostics and Treatment of Acute Abdomen: Advanced; (Passive Skill) Chapter 115: When Doctors Meet, Words Fail to Express (Request for Primary Subscription) Chapter 115: When Doctors Meet, Words Fail to Express (Request for Primary Subscription) Trantor: 549690339 As soon as Chen Cang entered the emergency room, he saw Qin Yue sneak in right after him! She followed him straight into the men¡¯s changing room. Chen Cang was at a loss for words, ¡°This is the men¡¯s changing room, big sister. Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re t-chested, you can pretend to be a guy!¡± Qin Yue gave Chen Cang a disdainful look, ¡°Pfft¡­ It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t taken you into the women¡¯s changing room before. Look at you acting all high and mighty.¡± Chen Cang was left speechless by Qin Yue¡¯s remark. ¡°Chen Cang, don¡¯t forget me when youe into wealth!¡± Qin Yue closed the door and said with a sinister re. Chen Cang scoffed, ¡°What ing into wealth¡¯? Myst name is Chen, I am Chen Fu Gui! My ancestors werendlords, what¡¯s wrong with the eightrge tile-roofed houses in the vige? Are you interested in my family¡¯s property? Want to be the daughter-inw of andlord family?¡± Qin Yue¡¯s face showed disdain, ¡°Oh, cut the act. Don¡¯t think I didn¡¯t see you getting out of a Maserati president series just now. Chen Cang, have youtched onto a rich woman? Can¡¯t save the rich with medicine, so you resort to kidney warfare?¡± Chen Cang really wanted to spit in Qin Yue¡¯s face¡ªshe was bing more and more rotten: ¡°Do I look like that kind of person? Please¡­¡± Qin Yue nodded earnestly with a twisted mouth, ¡°You¡¯re not like that, you¡¯re exactly that!¡± Chen Cang felt that talking to Qin Yue was aplete waste of saliva and utterly pointless. Chen Cang put on his white coat and looked at Qin Yue, ¡°You better hurry up and find someone, or else¡­ you¡¯ll rot to the point where no one dares to want you.¡± Qin Yue huffed, ¡°Don¡¯t you worry! I won¡¯t cling to you even if no one wants me. Come clean, didn¡¯t you have a date with a rich woman this afternoon?¡± Chen Cang sighed and said, ¡°A patient transferred from City Hospital No. 8 yesterday, I did the surgery. The director asked me to help with a surgery today, so I went over at noon.¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Yue immediately widened her eyes in shock, ¡°Holy crap, Chen Cang, you¡¯re going out performing surgeries now? For real?¡± n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°Come on, tell me, how did it feel? Did you have any nurse sisters apany you out there?¡± Chen Cang quickly covered Qin Yue¡¯s mouth, ¡°Big sister, can you keep it down? Do you have to let everyone know? This isn¡¯t something to be proud of.¡± At that moment, someone happened to walk in through the door. Just as Wang Qian came in, he saw Chen Cang covering Qin Yue¡¯s mouth and pressing her against the wall. (The changing room was very narrow, simr to a corridor, with a row of cabs and a set of hooks for hanging clothes) Wang Qian was momentarily blinded by the scene before him, reacting quickly, ¡°Oh my goodness, I¡¯m blind, I can¡¯t see anything.¡± He turned around, closed the door, and whipped out his keys to lock the changing room door with a series of quick clicks. The smooth and sharp operation was worthy of an emergency room surgeon¡¯s professional demeanor! After leaving, Wang Qian pondered thoughtfully, deciding that he should help set up this pair of lone men and women in the emergency room. Standing at the doorway, Wang Yong happened toe by. ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, what are you doing standing here? Isn¡¯t the air conditioning in the office cool enough? ¡± Wang Yong asked, seeing Wang Qian blocking the door. Wang Qian shook his head, ¡°No, no, no, there¡¯s no one inside. I mean¡­ Chen Cang and Qin Yue aren¡¯t in there.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Yong was a bit confused, but then he quickly caught on and decided to stand at the doorway as well, ¡°Hmm, it is cooler here.¡± ¡°Qian¡¯er bro, what are they doing inside?¡± Wang Yong whispered, his face full of gossip. Wang Qian replied with an air of righteousness, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t see them hugging each other, and I didn¡¯t see Chen Cang touching Qin Yue¡¯s face¡­¡± At this time, a few young nurses from the women¡¯s changing room, having just changed, stood at the door with looks of surprise, ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Wang Yong gave an awkward smile, ¡°Just enjoying the cooler air here.¡± Wang Qian shushed them, ¡°Keep it down, Chen Cang and Qin Yue aren¡¯t in there!¡± The nurses¡¯ curiosity skyrocketed upon hearing this. They leaned in close to the door, eager to discover the truth. Suddenly, the door swung open! Chen Cang and Qin Yue stood in the doorway, looking out at the crowd of people. Wang Qian coughed as if to clear his throat, ¡°Ah, what a coincidence.¡± Wang Yong and the others alsoughed sheepishly, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Such a coincidence¡­¡± The afternoon was heavy with surgeries, and as Wang Yong continued to organize medical records, Chen Cang suddenly heard the head nurse urging, ¡°Doctor Chen, there¡¯s an emergency patient, please take a look.¡± Chen Cang stepped out. He saw an elderly male being wheeled into the emergency room on a wheelchair, pushed by a well-dressed, neatly-coiffed woman. The woman wore sses and carried a purse, in her forties and seemed cultured, her face calm andposed. In contrast, the man in the wheelchair looked to be in his eighties, his face etched with pain and flushed, hunched over, hands clutching his stomach, visibly restless yet unable to stand up, all in all, agitated. Chen Cang quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the elderly gentleman?¡± The old man opened his mouth, ¡°Ugh¡­ Hmm¡­¡± The woman smiled, ¡°My dad has dementia, he can¡¯t speak clearly.¡± Chen Cang nodded, then asked the woman, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the patient?¡± The woman exined, ¡°He ate dumplingsst night, didn¡¯t finish them, and had the leftovers cold this morning. Then he started having stomach pains in the morning.¡± As she spoke, the woman scolded, ¡°I told him not to eat leftovers, he¡¯s just too thrifty, stubborn in his old age.¡± After finishing, the woman said, ¡°I came to buy some medicine for a stomach ache.¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, youe to the emergency room to buy medicine? Chen Cang looked at the old man and felt he didn¡¯t quite seem like a gastroenteritis patient. Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯ll examine the old man, okay?¡± The woman nced at her watch, urging, ¡°Yeah, okay, please hurry, doctor, and then prescribe him some medicine. The outpatient clinic is too crowded, it¡¯s impossible to get seen and I have a meeting I¡¯m in a hurry for shortly.¡± Chen Cang realized that thisdy was treating the emergency department as an outpatient clinic. However, since it wasn¡¯t busy, it didn¡¯t matter. Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Xiaolin, help me move the elderly man to the bed.¡± Xiaolin was a nurse in her early twenties, rarely wore makeup, frankly because she wasn¡¯t skilled at it, but she was incredibly dependable, technically proficient, and could endure hardship, the type of nurse who could well substitute for a nursing assistant. The two of them helped the old man onto the bed. After examining him, Chen Cang began to frown! Because the old man showed no signs of having an upset stomach from bad food. ¡± Has the elderly man had diarrhea?¡± Chen Cang inquired. The woman shook her head, ¡°No, but he did vomit a few times this morning.¡± Chen Gang¡¯s heart sank, and he asked a flurry of questions, to which the woman was bing increasingly impatient, but she still managed to keep her patience ¡ª perhaps due to ¡°good upbringing.¡± ¡°Pain, vomiting, bloating, obstruction!¡± A name shed through Chen Gang¡¯s mind! It likely had nothing to do with eating overnight cold dumplings. Even if it were something else entirely, it would have caused difort. Chen Cang even felt that the old man¡¯s condition hadn¡¯t started today, but the dumplings had merely exacerbated it. The old man¡¯s bowel sounds were significantly increased! Considering his long-standing gastrointestinal issues and a colon surgery three years ago¡­ It was just this morning that Chen Cang hadpleted training on acute abdomen! All clues were pointing Chen Cang to one very likely culprit that was about to emerge! ¡°Acute intestinal obstruction!¡± A verymon yet potentially fatal disease! ps: Suddenly there were too many updates, and the chapter sequence got messed up; the content is unaffected, apologies¡­ Also, thanks to Miss Qingtuan for her 100000 reward, the Qingtuan Alliance is mighty, and you¡¯ll get an extra update tomorrow! For now, 15 updates today¡­ Chapter 116: When I was a doctor, you were still in elementary school! Chapter 116: When I was a doctor, you were still in elementary school! Trantor: 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 pharmaceuticalpany. 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 meaningfulmunication 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 be 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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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, m his daughter, who else should take responsibility if not me?¡± Chen Cang made several serious exnations, 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 patientsin. 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 imed Chen Cang was ipetent, 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?¡± Simr 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 thoseplicated 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¡ªwithposure, 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 thendy. This might be thest 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 ce where he frequently had Kung Pao chicken, Old He¡¯s ce, was closed. This urban vige, already somewhat shabby, suddenly aged further, resembling the elderly person wearing fancy clothes who was pushed into the hospital today. Perhaps these dpidated 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 nkets, broken wooden beds and cabs, as well as the toys of children. Because there was no ce for them in the brand-new buildings, even the clean elevator-serviced apartments contained more brand-new items. Those about to be 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 copse and see new buildings rise up. Chen Cang left the vige, and outside was a brand-new world, lively with people bustling to and fro, a stream of headlights and a steady flow of traffic.

It took all morning to tidy up, and in the afternoon I still had to go to Zhang Zhixin¡¯s ce. 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 youing home?¡± Chen Luoughed, ¡°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 neverined to others, even when he got beaten up at school, he would return home with a smile iming 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 intoughter, ¡°Bro, you don¡¯t know me at all. I get along well with everyone wherever I go. Thedy 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 nning 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 butugh, ¡°Bro, stop showing off. With that little sry of yours, hurry up and find a sister-inw. When I be 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 ie 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 ofughter 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 atst! 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 rtionships might be,parisons 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 sessful career, and you¡¯re so beautiful and chic!¡± If thispliment had been made half a month earlier, Xiao Tianhua would have definitely taken it as ttery, even the kind that was sycophantic and tantly 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 ept 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 busytely. 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 aplete 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 stic surgery anymore, but rather ¡®micro-aesthetics¡¯! It¡¯s about enhancing your strengths and adjusting your ws, bncing 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 ws. But what¡¯s most important at our age? Charisma! I¡¯vee to understand stic 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 popr ce 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 nned 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 sess! 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 thesest 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 129: My Needle Holder (Seeking monthly votes—extra updates for book-loving friends!) Chapter 129: My Needle Holder (Seeking monthly votes¡ªextra updates for book-loving friends!) Chen Cang turned to a doctor beside him and said, ¡°Please hand me the needle holder.¡± The man, in his thirties, nodded in acknowledgement. Chen Cang first used the hemostat to tighten the end of the tendon, then he flipped the hemostat to reveal the cut surface. He quickly eximed, ¡°The needle, please!¡± Chen Cang swiftly adjusted the tendon¡¯s axis. At 3mm from the far cut end, he inserted the needle at a nted angle, corresponding to the suture point of the near end, and passed it through symmetrically in a crisscross pattern three times. This series of movements dumbfounded the doctor holding the needle holder. Almost without hesitation, the entire suturing process was extremely fast. It wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to slow down; he wanted to utilize the tension gathered by pulling closer to minimize the tendon suturing loss. The tendon of a severed finger is different from that of a regr tendon suture. The fluidity of his movements, without any hesitation, made Tan Zhonglin somewhat worried¡­ Would the alignment be sufficient? This same concern was shared by everyone! Could you ensure proper alignment that quickly? Clearly, their worries were unnecessary, for when a sutured tendon was finally revealed to all, even Tan Zhonglin was taken aback! This¡­this has got to be some kind of acrobatics, right? No, that¡¯s not it! It¡¯s magic! Definitely not surgery. Just moments ago, there were two separate ends, and now a seamlessly sutured,plete tendon appeared. Chen Cang was very confident, with eyes filled with self-assurance. In fact, such a tendon does not require many stitches, but each one must perfectlyplete the suturing of the tendon. That requires a meticulous approach! Like the technique Chen Cang had just performed; it had an effect that showed off his skills. But this was not showing off, it was a special tendon suturing technique, which demanded a highly solid and precise suturing foundation! Coincidentally! Chen Cang was a tendon suture master! Everyone was left agape, including Tan Zhonglin. Couple of doctors participating in the surgery couldn¡¯t help but swallow their saliva¡­ This is surely meant to scare us, isn¡¯t it? In Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes, there was aplex sentiment: he has improved again, improved again! And this improvement was a qualitative breakthrough! Tan Zhonglin found it extremely hard to believe that a young doctor in his twenties could possess such profound tendon suturing skills. The previous session had already shocked them enough. And this time, it was shattering their worldview! Isn¡¯t this too terrifying? Inparison to Tan Zhonglin. The younger doctors around him simply didn¡¯t know how to express their feelings at this moment. Some even felt a sense of defeat creeping over them. What kind of monster has our boss brought in? After the extensor tendon suturing, it seemed nobody was worried about the flexor tendon anymore¡­ After all, the hardest part was already done; what was this inparison? It wasn¡¯t long before the suturing waspleted! [Ding! Your tendon suturing has impressed all the doctors present, earning a basic skill from Tan Zhonglin, please select!] [Ding! Given your performance just now, which impressed everyone and perfectlypleted the surgery, a follow-up task has been triggered: assist inpleting a vascr suture. Upon finishing this task, fingertip reattachment surgery will be activated! ] Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! He had actually triggered a follow-up task, and moreover¡­ he could acquire fingertip reattachment surgery! Wait, not acquire? Activate? What¡¯s the difference between activation and acquisition? There shouldn¡¯t be a big difference, right? Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling joyful inside. Fingertip suture surgery is a high-level operation! Some hospitals treat it as a third-level surgery, and even the provincial second hospital has not yet started it. This might be the first third-level surgery he was about to have. You need to know that the main surgeries carried out in the emergency surgery room right now are of two kinds. One kind is the general emergency surgeries led by Chen Bingsheng, focusing primarily on hepatobiliary, pancreatic, splenic, and gastrointestinal operations. The other kind is the hand surgeries led by Director An Yanjun. However, Director An¡¯s hand surgery program hasn¡¯t been fullyunched yet. The main reason is that the equipment is still on its way. Once everything arrives, the emergency¡¯s hand surgery program will be the sole hand surgery base of the Provincial Second Hospital. In fact, establishing a hand surgery program has always been the idea of Li Baoshan, but without an operating room approved, it was quite troublesome. Even this time, Li Baoshan went through a lot of trouble and exerted significant effort to secure the approval. Now, at the reward stage, Tan Zhonglin stood in front of Chen Cang like a skill library, waiting for Chen Cang to choose one. However, only basic skills were avable for selection: [Advanced Vascr Suture]. Pass! [Advanced Tendon Suture]. Don¡¯t want it! [Advanced Debridement and Dressing Change], Next! [Advanced Nerve Suture]! The ultimate trump card! I choose you! When Chen Cang saw the Advanced Nerve Suture, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately decided to receive it. This skill was not easy toe by. Moreover, nerve suturing is much more intricate than tendon suturing, and theplexity level is also higher. If he could acquire this skill, it would be perfect! [Ding! Congrattions, you have acquired Nerve Suture, Advanced, Special effect: Precision!] Afterpleting the tendon suture, the most important step of reattaching the severed finger was about to take ce! That step was vascr suture. The most critical aspect of this tiny vascr anastomosis is to have endurance and patience. In summary, one must have stamina! Because the surgery is performed under a microscope, the entire process is extremely delicate, and without exceptional endurance and a persistent spirit, it¡¯s hard toplete the task well. Chen Cang was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the doctor who had handed him the needle was already picking up the vascr suturing needle to get ready. This left Chen Cangpletely stunned. In this situation, how could he speak up? Should he just grab the needle holder? That wouldn¡¯t be good¡­ We¡¯re all civilized people here¡­ Could the task be impossible toplete? Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at the man with a sigh, ¡°Ah¡­¡± At that moment, Zhou Yang had already noticed that Chen Cang had been staring at the needle holder in his hand for quite some time, and in his eyes¡­ there seemed to be a mix of longing and¡­ self-confidence? Thinking back to how impressively Chen Cang had performed the Tendon Suture Surgery, Zhou Yang wavered. Should he let this genius take over? With that thought, Zhou Yang lifted the needle holder, unable to resist asking, ¡°You¡­?¡± Chen Cang was startled, then reached over for the needle holder with a smile, ¡°No need to thank me, don¡¯t be polite!¡± Zhou Yang was dumbfounded: ?? ?? Did I say I was going to thank you? Was I being polite to you? Tan Zhonglin also couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡­ you know how to suture blood vessels?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm¡­ about the same level as suturing tendons¡­¡± With that said, the oue was self-evident. As expected, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes lit up and he switched sides cheerfully, ¡°Doctor Zhou, let Xiao Chen do the suturing.¡± Zhou Yang nodded. Who else to suture if not for him? But why¡­ did it feel so bitterly disappointing? As he watched Chen Cang suturing, a song called ¡°My Needle Holder¡± was beingposed in his mind, a gift to himself. You took away my needle holder It¡¯s fine, I still have my eyes! You underestimated me, thinking Icked skills. But I will never submit to you, not ever Chapter 119: As One Wave Settles, Another Rises! (Added for the Green Regiment Leader!) Chapter 119: As One Wave Settles, Another Rises! (Added for the Green Regiment Leader!) Trantor: 549690339 Fu Yufang nodded, ¡°Right, Chen Cang, you really need to design something good for us sisters. It¡¯s okay if it¡¯s a little pricey, but it has to look fantastic! That old coot of mine, always donating to those streamers, with that kind of money, I could¡¯ve turned myself gorgeous!¡± Actually, Fu Yufang wasn¡¯t ugly, and she had a great figure, often exercising and doing yoga, her curves were very apparent. In the heat of summer wearing a tight dress, she looked very charming. It was just that she was getting older, and signs of the years had started to show on her face, plus there were some minor ws in her facial details. Zhang Zhixin told everyone to wait outside, while Chen Cang and Fu Yufang stayed in the office. Chen Cang stared at Fu Yufang for quite a while, his ¡°eyes of beauty¡± constantly searching for imperfections. Rather than feeling shy under Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, Fu Yufang felt bold and heated, her eyes fiercely shooting sparks. Unfortunately, while the fallen flower pines for attention, the flowing water is heartless. At this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes held no woman, only data and angles! Time ticked by, second by second. Fu Yufang wasn¡¯t tired in the least! On the contrary, she found it rather pleasing to the eye! She realized that this young Chen was really nice to look at. At first nce, good-looking, and the more she looked, the better he seemed; the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the ears¡­ everything looked good wherever she looked. Meanwhile, Chen Cang kept sighing over and over again. The eyes need to be fixed¡­ the mouth needs to be fixed¡­ the nose also needs to be fixed¡­ everywhere needed fixing¡­ Thinking this, Chen Cang simply asked, ¡°Miss Fu, I have a few ideas, would you like to hear them?¡± ¡°One is minor adjustments, tweaking your facial details a bit so that you look mostly the same, but with a significant improvement. The other is a major overhaul, which requires changing quite a few things. It would be quite different from your original look, but a lot more attractive.¡± Hearing this, Fu Yufang smiled seductively, ¡°Chen Cang, what do you think your sister should do? How do you like it done?¡± Chen Cang:¡­ ¡°My suggestion is that you start with minor adjustments. After all, major changes would result in a big difference, and this will undoubtedly affect your life. Moreover, the side effects of minor adjustments are less, and we can adjust slowly. Major overhauls would require bone shaving and filling in some areas with imnts, which is quite troublesome. Besides¡­ minor adjustments already look very good. How about this, let me draw you a picture, and you can take a look.¡± Fu Yufang¡¯s eyes lit up! A drawing, how exciting? Jack was the one who drew Rose¡­ Fu Yufang immediately joked, ¡°Where should we go for this drawing?¡± Chen Cang took a deep breath. He suddenly felt he needed to keep his distance from Xiao Tianhua in the future. These women were too wild, and he feared he might not be able to resist them one day¡­ It took Chen Cang over half an hour to roughly outline the facial contours and carefully sketch out the details that needed adjustment and refinement. Fu Yufang took the paper. Impressed, she thought, truly professional! Xiao Tianhua really didn¡¯t lie to me; this money is well spent. If I could really look like this, there would definitely be no problem. ¡°It¡¯s beautiful! Can 1 really look like this?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Certainly, and even better than the drawing. After all, your face shape has more dimension which isn¡¯t easy to convey on paper!¡± When Fu Yufang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, ¡°Chen Cang, just say when we can do it and how much it will cost, all that¡¯s negotiable!¡± Before Chen Cang could speak, Fu Yufang handed over a bank card, ¡°Here¡¯s 100,000! It¡¯s for the design fee, and I¡¯ll give you more after the procedures are done. If it looks good, I¡¯ll give you even more!¡± Fu Yufang stood up and then suddenly asked, ¡°By the way, Chen Cang, when are you avable?¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Cang took a firm stance, ¡°I¡¯m pretty busy normally.¡± Fu Yufang sighed, ¡°Oh, alright¡­ It¡¯s just that 1 want to get Long Bear, and then maybe get some work done together. Could you design for me too? I always feel like there¡¯s some sagging, I¡¯m getting old!¡± Fu Yufang was only around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, at the prime of her beauty, and her vor and charm were such that even whenpared to Xu Rou, she came out far ahead! Fu Yufang was about to stand up and take off her clothes as she spoke, which frightened Chen Cang into a shiver! He quickly got up to stop her! ¡°Sister Fu, don¡¯t rush, let¡¯s talk about thister. First get your face done right, then we can design the bear shape based on your facial structure. The human body is all about harmony, and a design made now might not suit you!¡± Upon hearing this, Fu Yufang immediately turned on the charm, ¡°Okay, young Chen, then¡­ I¡¯lle to you after I get my face done, you have to help your sister.¡± Chen Cang felt very flustered. The second patient was much better than Fu Yufang! Chen Cang was much relieved! It took him over an hour to design two or three drawings, and the other party chose one. The next step was stic surgery, and they needed to wait for the other party to be ready. Chen Cang and Zhang Zhixin went to find people. Before leaving, Fu Yufang smiled at Chen Cang, ¡°Young Chen, remember our agreement!¡± Chen Cang responded with a helpless, bitter smile. It was after they got in the car, Xiao Tianhua sent a message, ¡°Did Fu Yufang flirt with you?¡± Chen Cang looked at the message and didn¡¯t know how to reply,¡±¡­¡± After a while, Xiao Tianhua continued texting, ¡°Young Chen, I think I should get a bear too, you help me design one when you have time!¡± Chen Cang:¡±¡­¡± Chen Cang felt like crying without tears. What was this all about? Just when one wave had not settled, another rose! Before one wave had subsided, another wave came storming in¡­ a tempest? It seems that in the future, doing aesthetic medicine would require not only skills! You also need to have a calm heart! Chen Cang turned to look at the luxury car driving away, his eyes gleaming with delight. ¡°Young Chen, you need to do me a favor!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What favor?¡± Zhang Zhixin said cheerfully, ¡°You know what Teacher Zhang is good at!¡± Chen Cang: ¡°ttering and shadowing wealthy women?¡± Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face changed, ¡°I¡¯m serious!¡± Chen Cang: ¡°So am l!¡± Thinking of Zhang Zhixin¡¯s enthusiasm for meeting Xiao Tianhua and Fu Yufang, Chen Cang earnestly nodded. Zhang Zhixin was stunned, then continued to patiently coax Chen Cang, ¡°That was personal charm 1 was exhibiting earlier. I¡¯m talking about my professional expertise.¡± ¡°You know, Teacher Zhang specializes in bear ergement. You say that doing the faces requires someone else, so we don¡¯t make much money ¨C oh! You have a design fee, I mean 1 don¡¯t make much money. You have to help me out, can you bear to see me starve?¡± ¡°So¡­ Young Chen, as the saying goes, wealthy women should not leak to outsiders¡¯ fields, can you persuade those sisters? Maybe suggest a few nice bear designs to them?¡± Chen Cang¡¯s face immediately lit up with wide eyes, what a great idea! He was worrying about how to solve this problem. Thinking this, Chen Cang felt that Zhang Zhixin made a lot of sense. When the time came, let Zhang Zhixin do it, as he was skilled at it. The surgery was tentatively scheduled for tomorrow morning. Zhang Zhixin pulled Chen Cang back to the office to discuss the details of tomorrow¡¯s surgery.. Chapter 120: Should I Buy an Auxiliary Outfit? (Extra update for Miss Green Bean Paste!) Chapter 120: Should I Buy an Auxiliary Outfit? (Extra update for Miss Green Bean Paste!) Trantor: 549690339 I Fu Yufang¡¯s cosmetic focus was also around her eyes. This time, Chen Cang had not nned to ask someone else to do the surgery, but decided to do it himself. After the inner and outer canthus micro-adjustment technique and double eyelid incision surgeries were avable, Chen Cang had not yet tried them himself and was already itching to do so. Moreover, the most crucial point was that this time, he did not trust anyone else with the surgery, because the micro-adjustment angle at Fu Yufang¡¯s eye corners was very important, especially since her eye slits were slightly small and needed to be erged, and also needed enhancement through inner canthus micro-adjustment to increase the distance between the eyes. The most important point was that the horizontal axis of her eyes was slightly low, and Chen Cang needed to adjust it upward. The micro-adjustment angle of the eyes was very important, and Chen Cang did not trust anyone else with it! Most importantly, Fu Yufang had strong sticity, and after modification, it would be a fine piece of work, which would be very useful for building his reputation in the future! Xiao Tianhua could help him once, but she couldn¡¯t be expected to help every time. If Chen Cang wanted to make a name for himself in Anyang City, he had to produce a specimen to show. Fu Yufang was an excellent specimen! With her good basic conditions, figure, temperament, and image, as long as he followed his own design, there would definitely be a positive response. Moreover, having taken money from someone, Chen Cang naturally felt responsible for her. In summary, the focus of Fu Yufang¡¯s cosmetic surgery was all on her eyes; the corners of the mouth and wrinkle removal were simple, and Zhang Zhixin should be able to handle those. Sometimes, a beautiful pair of eyes can save a face! Back in the office, Zhang Zhixin asked with a smile, ¡°Who are you nning to get for the surgery, oh great designer?¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Us two, we¡¯ll do it ourselves!¡± Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face changed immediately, ¡°Have you gone mad? Was Xiao Tianhua¡¯s grueling lesson not enough to sober you up? Better get Yang Tao and Qin Xiang. These richdies might be easy to talk to now, but they can be hard to deal with if there¡¯s a problem.¡± Chen Cang shook his head, not because he had anyints about the two, but because you must perform surgeries yourself to improve! No one understood his designs better than Chen Cang himself. There were things that Chen Cang found inconvenient to say. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the surgery Xiao Tianhua performedst time; although it was greatly improved, it was still far from Chen Gang¡¯s requirements and the original goal. That experience made Chen Cang realize that many things had to be done by oneself in order to grasp and control them more delicately and urately. Chen Cang suddenly looked up, ¡°So you n to always have others perform surgeries?¡± Thatment made Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face turn red. A few minutester, Zhang Zhixin sighed, ¡°When I first started out, there were only three people in the cosmetic hospital. I did everything back then. Now that there are more people, and the hospital is bigger, I¡¯ve be more timid, afraid of making mistakes, afraid to do anything!¡± ¡°Afraid of what? Just do it!¡± Zhang Zhixin psyched himself up! Then, Zhang Zhixin casually picked up the drawings and studied them for a long time, but¡­ the more he looked, the more worried he became, and his confidence waned because the markings on them were too detailed, requiring extremely delicate operations! After looking at the drawings, the previously confident Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt discouraged, ¡°Chen¡­ I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t do this. There are too many details in the eye modification, and the micro-adjustment is too fine. With my skills¡­ I¡¯m worried I¡¯ll ruin your design!¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°You don¡¯t need to do the eyes, I¡¯ll take care of them. You just need to handle the nose and mouth.¡± Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief, as if not quite processing the information, ¡°Oh¡­¡± But almost immediately, Zhang Zhixin almostughed due to Chen Gang¡¯s audacity, ¡°You¡¯re not even as good as I am! Kid, designing and performing surgery are different things. Surgery isn¡¯t just drawing; it isn¡¯t so simple. Plus¡­ with the dense distribution of facial nerves and blood vessels, you¡¯d better not cause a major issue!¡± ¡°Having talent for design is a gift, but cosmetic surgery requires not only talent but also the umtion of professional knowledge and daily practice. Talent alone isn¡¯t enough!¡± ¡°To put it bluntly, how long have you been learning? No, this won¡¯t do. Let¡¯s get Qin Xiang instead. It would be more convenient for the two of us to coborate,¡± he finished, picking up the phone. Chen Cang was determined. After all, if he did not take advantage of the ¡°Master System¡± now to practice and learn more, when else would he get such an opportunity? Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°I designed it myself; I understand the patient better, and the operation will yield the best results.¡± Zhang Zhixin was baffled, ¡°But¡­ have you done it before?¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No, but who doesn¡¯t have a first time?¡± Zhang Zhixin fell silent, ¡°This is no joke!¡± Chen Cang was resolute, ¡°I¡¯m confident!¡± After a long thought, Zhang Zhixin suddenly asked, ¡°Chen¡­¡± Chen Cang,¡±???¡± Zhang Zhixin, ¡°Is living a stable life really so bad?¡± The next day, for the first time, Zhang Zhixin felt that stepping into the operating theater was like entering the execution ground. He nced at Chen Cang who was in high spirits! He looked at Fu Yufang, also quite spirited! He sighed; only he was wilted¡­ The surgery began. Chen Cang started to draw lines on Fu Yufang¡¯s face. Since he was performing the surgery himself this time, he naturally drew them even more carefully and seriously, and many areas required detailed consideration. Fu Yufang felt therge hand, dexterous, powerful, warm, reliable¡­ The more she thought, the more her cheeks heated up, the more she began to blush. Chen Cang suddenly frowned, ¡°Do you have a fever?¡± Zhang Zhixin also frowned upon hearing this, ¡°All the routine preoperative checks were normal!¡± When Fu Yufang felt Chen Gang¡¯s breath on her face, she experienced an indescribable feeling. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m just a bit nervous!¡± Hearing the two of them speak, Fu Yufang also felt embarrassed. Chen Cang nodded, smiling reassuringly, ¡°Everyone¡¯s nervous the first time!¡± Zhang Zhixin nced at Chen Cang sideways, thinking to himself that the person who should be the most nervous here was you! It was your first time! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Soon, after the anesthesia, the surgery began! In fact, there are mainly two types of eye surgery. One is the embedding method, suitable for both double eyelid surgeries and canthosties, but this method is more appropriate for beginners due to its simple operation. However, its downside is also quite clear: after the full thickness of the eyelid tissue is ligatured, lymphatic return is obstructed, and adhesions form between the upper margin of the tarsal te and the aponeurosis of the levator palpebrae superioris and the skin. Therefore, the method Chen Cang used was the incision method! Because with good use of the scalpel and suturing in the incision method, one couldpletely achieve an art called sculpting! Of course, there was another reason: Chen Gang¡¯s stic surgery skills were limited to these two basic techniques. One was the incision method for double eyelid surgery (with the special effect: rapid recovery), and the other was the inner and outer canthus micro-adjustment technique (with the special effect: naturalness). Chen Cang was very serious and his technique was steady and deft, carefully slicing the skin open, creating an angle at the inner canthus of the eye. Once the angle was stabilized, the subsequent suturing could shift the middle axis of the eye. In fact, this principle was the same as the double eyelid surgery, except that it involved shifting the horizontal axis of the eyelid, thus creating a micro-adjustment effect. That was what Chen Cang aimed to do. Zhang Zhixin was extremely nervous, sweat never stopped forming on his forehead! The air conditioning in the room was very cool, but even so, Zhang Zhixin still felt hot! Intensely hot! However, gradually, he noticed something: Chen Gang¡¯s surgery seemed quite stable! Especially in terms of adjusting the canthus and the inner and outer canthi, his technique was old-school yet could be said to be very precise! This took Zhang Zhixin by surprise. He quickly focused on Chen Cang and began to watch intently; not realizing this before, he was rather dumbfounded upon closer observation. You should know that the most important aspect in micro-adjustment is a subtle change, choosing the optimal approach bybining muscle lines and skin texture, to make ayout that best fits the facial structure. So micro-adjustment surgery focuses on precision, and the difficulty lies in being precise! You must grasp every detail well, as a deviation of a few degrees or millimeters could lead topletely different effects. With a renowned teacher¡¯s guidance at hand, Chen Cang improved and repaired many inadequacies in the eye area. A simple eye remodeling surgery, Chen Cang took more than an hour toplete, and then it was Zhang Zhixin¡¯s turn. It seemed that Chen Cang had inspired him: Zhang Zhixin¡¯s surgery didn¡¯t fail, but turned out quite sessful! The surgery was over! Fu Yufang started to feel anxious all of a sudden. stic surgery, in fact, is an adventure for a woman that requires courage. Not everyone can make this decision! At the beginning, Fu Yufang was motivated, but now that it wasplete, she became anxious and uneasy again. ¡°Is it done?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Very sessful, you should rest well for the next few days.¡± For the second surgery, Zhang Zhixin let loose, no longer doubting Chen Cang as before. Yet, instead of doubt, he felt shock. Zhang Zhixin might not understand Chen Cang in other aspects, but in the field of medical aesthetics, he was Chen Gang¡¯s mentor. He was the one who had led Chen Cang step by step into this circle. How long had it been? Two days a week couldn¡¯t be guaranteed, and when Chen Cang dide, he mostly assisted, hardly doing any core work. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t let Chen Cang take charge; he simply wasn¡¯t confident. After all, who would he trust with it? But now, it seemed Zhang Zhixin had underestimated Chen Gang¡¯s talent, judging the genius by the standards of a mediocrity? From start to finish, Chen Cang had only observed a few surgeries, so how had he managed to perform them? Thinking about this, it seemed impossible to Zhang Zhixin. However, no matter the doubts and spections, what use were they when faced with reality? Watching Chen Cang operate on the second surgery, Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe this young man had only been in the business for a few days, and even harder to imagine just how vast his future could be with some time! Perhaps¡­ This is what a genius looks like! One shouldn¡¯t judge by the standards of ordinary people. Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt that whatever he did now wasn¡¯t as substantial as holding on strong to Chen Gang¡¯s coattails because he couldn¡¯t keep up with Chen Gang¡¯s progress. Just by following Chen Cang, he could reap the benefits even just by sipping the soup! After realizing this, Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, contemting whether to buy some aids.. Chapter 121: Just Thinking About It Makes My Chapter 121: Just Thinking About It Makes My Kidneys Ache¡­ (Extra for Yue Z Meng) Trantor: 549690339 Monday is the busiest day in the hospital! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 arge flow of people and the customer base is quite targeted, it¡¯s actually a perfect ce 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, peoplee to the hospital to seek medical treatment, not to be misled by advertisements, which might even be misconstrued as the hospital¡¯s rmendation, 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 regrly¡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 ced several tables there and called for doctors from her department toe out and provide free consultations. Today¡¯s theme was ¡°Caring for the Digestive System¡± as well as consultations formon surgeries involving the digestive system. After all, many patients don¡¯t necessarilye to the hospital to be treated, they mighte for consultation or to understand their conditions better, so free clinics are very convenient for serving the masses. Tian Xiann 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 Xiann noticed that another department had set up tables in the northwest corner. She stole a nce and to her surprise, it was the General Surgery Department. They also promoted galldder and appendix health as well as preventive measures, including surgeries¡­ There was a sh! At this moment, not only did Tian Xiann 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 butugh. It seemed that the emergency department really didn¡¯t have many surgeriestely, they were actuallying 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 toe out today¡­ aren¡¯t you just unlucky? To sh with us on the same day! Thinking of this, Duan Bo felt likeughing. 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 rxed and even thought that he couldplete a few more medical records after work. In the morning, there were many patients, and those withter registration numbers had to wait anyway, so they might as welle 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 red up and was protracting. The couple thought it over and found some time toe 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 exined 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 exined 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 aparoscopic 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 aparison between our department¡¯s special surgical methods and the traditional ones¡­ And in terms of recovery time, we have shortened it by a daypared to traditionalparoscopic surgery.¡± Wang Yong borated 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 andpared it with the emergency department¡¯s, surely noticing the differences! Surgery withparoscopy has many advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions. However¡­ whenparing 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 Yongughed, ¡°No, these are the research results of Dr. Chen from our department, an improvement on the traditionalparoscopic 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, ording 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 regr 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 red 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 Youfuing 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 undergoparoscopic 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, d 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 nced 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 yed a solemn tune for himself, as things rted 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 122: If... Joining... (Extra for Alliance Hierarch z for the month) Chapter 122: If¡­ Joining¡­ (Extra for Alliance Hierarch z for the month) Trantor: 549690339 Emergency rooms never have set meal times! As twelve o¡¯clock approached, a message came from the nurse¡¯s station! ¡°An unconscious patient in shock is being delivered by emergency services, prepare for resuscitation!¡± Chen Cang was about to get off work for a meal when he heard the summons from the nurse¡¯s station. With no appetite for food, he quickly redressed in his white coat and hustled out to await the ambnce¡¯s arrival. Shortly after! The ambnce stopped at the entrance of the emergency department, and the patient was wheeled out. Chen Cang hurried forward to meet the emergency center doctor apanying the patient, asking, ¡°What¡¯s the patient¡¯s condition?¡± Before the young doctor could reply, a crying voice was heard from behind, ¡°Doctor! Please save my dad¡­¡± Chen Cang was about tofort the woman but suddenly froze in shock! The woman seemed very familiar, too familiar! Chen Cang pped his forehead; it was the sophisticateddy in luxurious clothes with an air of ¡°refinement¡± who had been therest Friday, pushing her father in a wheelchair to buy medicine. Yes, it was that woman who had also studied medicine! At this thought, Chen Cang¡¯s face suddenly turned pale! Could it be that the old man¡­ had encountered a serious issue! After all, Chen Cang had diagnosed him with acute intestinal obstruction at the time, and thedy had insisted on taking her father to the Eastern University hospital, even signing a guarantee with absolute confidence, which Chen Cang remembered clearly! Had they not gone to see a doctor? If they had, surely the doctors there would have noticed, right? With these thoughts, Chen Cang felt a heavy weight in his heart. The emergency doctor from the ambnce informed Chen Cang of the patient¡¯s condition and then admonished, ¡°The patient has been unconscious since 1 arrived, his blood pressure is very unstable after being put on the monitor, and he has a weak respiratory rate¡­ there was a cardiac arrest¡­¡± Chen Cang¡¯s face turned pale once again! He quickly called out to a nurse, ¡°Xiaolin, venttor! Monitor!¡± Xiaolin was eating, but upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s call, she put down her utensils and ran out, pushing the patient toward the resuscitation room. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Thedy, seeming to recognize Chen Cang, said hastily, ¡°Doctor! It was you¡­ you¡­ you were right, that day I was wrong, I apologize to you, you must save my dad, he¡¯s the only father 1 have¡­¡± Her face, once soposed, was now streaked with tears and snot, her appearancepletely disheveled, as she suddenly knelt before Chen Cang with a thud, clutching at his legs and begging. Chen Cang hurriedly lifted the woman up, ¡°Calm down, we need to start resuscitation!¡± The woman was crying out hoarsely, ¡°I was wrong, Doctor! Please, save my dad. I¡¯ll do whatever you ask¡­¡± Chen Cang sighed, pulled away from her, and turned to enter the resuscitation room. The woman was probably not just kneeling for herself, but for her father; she was repenting¡­ Chen Cang entered the resuscitation room and quickly adjusted the venttor, taking care of some treatment details. But after a busy afternoon, by half-past two, all the results from the tests and exams were in! The ¡°Mentorship¡± that had always been reminding Chen Cang was now silent¡­ Chen Cang and Xiaolin took the elderly man for a CT scan, an ultrasound, and conducted every possible examination¡­ By the time it was around two or three o¡¯clock, both were so exhausted they copsed on the ground. Xiaolin spoke in a weak voice, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ is there still hope?¡± That question made Chen Cang¡¯s nose tingle with emotion. He took a deep breath, got to his feet, and as he did, pulled Xiaolin up, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, Xiaolin. You didn¡¯t get any rest this afternoon.¡± Xiaolin shook her head, tears flickering in her eyes, ¡°Is there still hope? Dr. Chen¡­ is there really no way?¡± Xiaolin clutched at Chen Cang¡¯s white coat desperately, her gaze filled with pleading. Superior mesenteric artery embolism, and much time had already passed¡­ At this moment, the elderly patient lying next to the monitor had already developed multi-organ failure. Being over eighty years old, the family mentioned multi-organ failure, mesenteric artery embolism¡­ Chen Cang sighed, ¡°Surgery is possible, but the survival rate is almost zero!¡± This was the answer given by the master teacher¡¯s guidance. Because the old man¡¯s overall condition was too poor, relieving intestinal obstruction would be meaningless, but¡­ if only I could have done more three days ago¡­ At this thought, Chen Cang sighed again. He could not change the patient¡¯s family after all. Chen Cang stood up and walked out to see the woman copsed on the ground, sobbing desperately and covering her face with her hands. He said, ¡°This is¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, the woman suddenly looked up, her tone filled with despair, ¡°Is this a critical condition notice?¡± Chen Cang nodded silently, ¡°Yes.¡± The woman leaned against the wall with her hand, staggeringly standing up, ¡°How long can my father hold on?¡± Chen Cang replied, ¡°He could die at any moment, won¡¯tst long, it¡¯s hard to specify the time.¡± ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been in time¡­¡± Just as Chen Cang was about to speak, he saw the woman¡¯s tears streaming down uncontrobly again. After thinking for a bit, he swallowed what he was about to say¡­ After a long while¡­ ¡°Doctor, wait for me, I need to go to the restroom!¡± The woman dried her tears with her clothes, stood up, and made a trip to the restroom. ¡°I¡¯m filled with regret now¡­ I should have listened to you, I should have gone for the check-up, I should have listened to the doctors¡­ I shouldn¡¯t have decided on my own¡­¡± she murmured incessantly as she signed the papers. Her voice was very soft, possibly meant only for herself to hear¡­ Driven by curiosity, Chen Cang asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you go to East University First Hospital?¡± The woman spoke faintly, ¡°After I left here, I didn¡¯t go to the hospital. 1 bought some medicine from a nearby pharmacy and took my father to a clinic for anti-inmmatory and anti-infection treatment for gastroenteritis.¡± ¡°After returning home at night, I thought he was feeling better and had fallen asleep¡­ but then¡­¡± ¡°I caused his death¡­ I am the real killer¡­ I thought it was just a stomach ache, worrying too many tests wouldn¡¯t be good for him.¡± The conversation couldn¡¯t continue, the woman was struggling to speak, sobbing uncontrobly, and even showing signs of hyperventtion. Less than an hourter, when the afternoon¡¯s remaining sunlight spilled into the emergency department, The elderly man passed away, having stopped breathing and his heart beating. The woman declined CPR and defibrition, just sitting quietly beside the old man. After a while, several family members rushed in hurriedly, men and women alike. But none of them were as heartbroken as the woman; they appeared quiteposed, as if they had anticipated the oue. The woman didn¡¯t make a sound, just woodenly nodding her head, ¡°It¡¯s my fault, all my fault¡­ I killed Dad.¡± Chen Cang could not help but say, ¡°This could also be a release.¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t even know whom his words were for: the old man, the child beside him, or the woman. At the moment when the endotracheal tube was removed, Chen Cang saw a faint glimmer of light reflecting in the old man¡¯s dull eyes. It was the cold light of the resuscitation room. Turning around, Chen Cang gave the family time to say goodbye but saw the woman copsed on the ground, her face streaked with two more tear tracks¡­ Chen Cang sighed and turned to leave. In the hospital, he had seen life and death parted many times, but faced with the arrival of death, Chen Cang¡¯s heart could still not be cold. After exiting, he saw Xiao Lin crying in the corner like a child, with a pouting mouth and tears streaming down his face unceasingly. If only she had listened to one more piece of advice in the beginning, not made decisions on her own, how much better it would have been! Chapter 123:1 Have a Candidate! (Added for Yue z Alliance) Chapter 123:1 Have a Candidate! (Added for Yue z Alliance) Trantor: 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 Cange 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 particr reason. Operating Room 3 at the Provincial Second Hospital was usually empty, always awaiting the arrival of emergency surgery. Like sudden car ident 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 pir of the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital, its superstructure and its height! With him there,rge-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 ident victims tend to be dangerous due to the possibility of serious multiple organ injuries. They were now faced with a bined chest and abdominal trauma¡± caused by a car ident. The patient had a ruptured diaphragm, liverceration, 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¡¯tst 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 particrly 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 cirction 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 escte! 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 cirction, 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?¡± o 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 sessful, recovery will be a problem!¡± A dilemma nowy before everyone! How toplete the vascr anastomosis in ny 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, urately locating the splenic artery is crucial to control bleeding. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 cirction 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 toote to get them here now. 1 here¡¯s probably¡­ probably not a single person in Dongyang Province who can sessfully perform vascr 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 vascr 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 bepleted on this vessel¡­ It¡¯s¡­ too hard!¡± Indeed, vascr 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 otherplications. 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 137: You Insist on Coming When You’re Not Invited! Chapter 137: You Insist on Coming When You¡¯re Not Invited! ¡°I told you not toe, but you insisted oning!¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 Xiann 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 fitst night, and it made my heart ufortable. 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 toe 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 stille 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 de factory dormitory not far from the Second Provincial Hospital. He was a leader his whole life, articte 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 regr 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, hisplexion 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 regr 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 mane? 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 Xiann, 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 Xiann wouldn¡¯t say a word. As the saying goes, a patient long-ill bes 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¡­ evena, 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 butugh. 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 sessful son, but sadly, he was paralyzed at home due to the seque 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-inw, 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 olddy 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 Xiann who attentively looked after him, and the young nurses hustling around. Looking at Tian Xiann, Grandpa Wang said with a smile, ¡°Xiao Tian, I initially wanted to set you up with my son. It¡¯s a good thing thatd 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 Xiann 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 Xiann who worked as a nurse in the emergency department. Tian Xiann smiled, ¡°Grandpa Wang, you¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± Grandpa Wangughed heartily, looking at the walls around the emergency department, and suddenly let out a sigh, ¡°The old, run-down Second Provincial Hospital has be 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 olddy 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 olddy said thank you and headed for the observation room. Old Wang was receiving oxygen when he saw his spousee in, immediately reproaching her, ¡°I told you not toe, yet you insisted oning!¡± The olddy red back at him, ¡°How can I be at ease? If you were alright, I definitely wouldn¡¯t havee!¡± Old Wang felt warmth in his heart and sighed, ¡°Now that you¡¯re here, what about our son?¡± The olddy, sitting by the bed, tenderly held Old Wang¡¯s hand, ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy turned, ¡°What is it?¡± Old Wang smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s have dumplings for lunch? I¡¯ll go buy some meat.¡± The olddy red, ¡°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 olddy, yet it was apanion¡¯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 toe, yet you insisted oning!¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 promations¡­ 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: What a Pity You Studied Medicine! (Please Subscribe) 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 becameparatively 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,prehensive data, and could even be called a ssic!¡± This ttery made Qin Yue extremelyfortable, ¡°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 directlyughed 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 red hard and said, ¡°Because even the dean thinks you¡¯recking!¡± 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 trantion. 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 recentlyunched one is pretty good¡­ I he trantion 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 frommon English, and even between different journals, the style of wording and sentence construction can vary considerably. I his trantion was already quite decent, but there were some imperfections that needed to be addressed. It appeared that the trantor wasn¡¯t profoundly knowledgeable about surgery, which led to some minor issues with the terminology, phrasing, and descriptions of surgical procedures. However, the minor ws did not detract from the overall quality of the trantion. It was a well-tranted 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 ced the paper back on the table. Wang Qian said, ¡°Little Qin, I didn¡¯t see thating. Your paper is quite good. If it gets properly tranted 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 trantion.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was instantly shocked, ¡°Are you talking about¡­ Professor Wu Xueyu? My god¡­ Professor Wu is a renowned trantor of medical literature. He even led the trantion of thetest ¡®2019 Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Internal Medicine Diseases¡¯.¡± Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Professor Wu! He and my teacher were university ssmates.¡± Wang Qian was a student at Dongyang Medical University, and upon hearing the name Wu Xueyu, he was naturally impressed, ¡°Awesome! Professor Wu personally tranting, 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 tond 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. ncing 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 trantion 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 nced 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 aborer. 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 ced Director Li as the second author¡­¡± Look at us, ving away, and the one who benefits most is over there reading novels¡­ I mean, Chen Cang, how can you be soid 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 trantion. 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 nced 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 Yuepletely 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 littlepdog 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 stered on a smile and nodded at Chen Cang. Chen Cang was dumbfounded, ¡°Your acting¡­ It¡¯s praise-worthy.¡± Our anti-Japanese dramas aren¡¯t popr because theyck 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 havee to tell me to correct the chapters, haha! Chapter 139: What is the Purpose of People’s 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,ing 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 ck Buick, the license te number is¡­¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle 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 utterlypelling! 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 apanying 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¡¯smuting 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, apanied by several doctors from the department, each showing Chen Cang a great deal of respect. After thest disy 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; yourpetency 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 thezy Susan when you are picking dishes during a meal. If that is a measure of sess, Chen Cang was very sessful 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 apetitive 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 ofparoscopic 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 toplete 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, exining 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 sessful 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 aparoscopic surgery, he had often performed appendix removals. The core of this minimally invasive procedure was to utilize effective space toplete 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 isted 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 sess? 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 foundationid 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 thest 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 inmmatory exudate all around, but¡­. where is the appendix?¡± Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!) Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!) Atst! In the midst of everyone¡¯s tension and unease, just as the patient was about to feel the onset of pain, the surgery waspleted! [Ding! Congrattions, respected doctor, you have removed a King-grade appendix monster! You have obtained: 1. A ss 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 ss 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 apud! ¡°Expert Chen, you are really amazing!¡± Doctor Yang, who had witnessed the entire surgery, eximed with an excited round of apuse! 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 sess 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 be 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 iprehensible 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 exin 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 viges, 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 wasfortable. 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¡¯tpare 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 seldommunicate 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 rtionship. Add to that many surgeries require everyone to work together which necessitates mutual assistance, it¡¯s like being teammates orrades in battle, and naturally, rtionships 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, ab 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 andpleting 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! Congrattions, 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 tough 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;
    1. Power +3; 3. Defense +3; Apanying Skill: Bai Qiuen¡¯s Blessing; Skill Tip: After use, all your statuses including strength and power will return to peak condition (can be used once a week!)]
    2. 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 thest feature, the apanying 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 somesting 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! Thest 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 ina 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¡­ Power up with monthly passes!

    Chapter 142: Venipuncture Catheterization! (Please Subscribe) 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 ambnces parked outside the emergency department, like harbingers of doom, their shing 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 dys; 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 ambnces 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 identally puncturing the subvian 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 apanying 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 wasing? 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 toe 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 subvian 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 subvian 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 cirction, central venous administration is the fastest way! And yet at this time, the venous catheterization couldn¡¯t bepleted! It had be 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 sessfully used, congrattions 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 sessfully punctured!¡± With that, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn! So quickly? Others had been trying for half the day without sess, and Dr. Chen seeded 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 sessfully 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 129: My Needle Holder (Seeking monthly votes—extra updates for book-loving friends!) Chapter 129: My Needle Holder (Seeking monthly votes¡ªextra updates for book-loving friends!) Chen Cang turned to a doctor beside him and said, ¡°Please hand me the needle holder.¡± The man, in his thirties, nodded in acknowledgement. Chen Cang first used the hemostat to tighten the end of the tendon, then he flipped the hemostat to reveal the cut surface. He quickly eximed, ¡°The needle, please!¡± Chen Cang swiftly adjusted the tendon¡¯s axis. At 3mm from the far cut end, he inserted the needle at a nted angle, corresponding to the suture point of the near end, and passed it through symmetrically in a crisscross pattern three times. This series of movements dumbfounded the doctor holding the needle holder. Almost without hesitation, the entire suturing process was extremely fast. It wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang didn¡¯t want to slow down; he wanted to utilize the tension gathered by pulling closer to minimize the tendon suturing loss. The tendon of a severed finger is different from that of a regr tendon suture. The fluidity of his movements, without any hesitation, made Tan Zhonglin somewhat worried¡­ Would the alignment be sufficient? n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om This same concern was shared by everyone! Could you ensure proper alignment that quickly? Clearly, their worries were unnecessary, for when a sutured tendon was finally revealed to all, even Tan Zhonglin was taken aback! This¡­this has got to be some kind of acrobatics, right? No, that¡¯s not it! It¡¯s magic! Definitely not surgery. Just moments ago, there were two separate ends, and now a seamlessly sutured,plete tendon appeared. Chen Cang was very confident, with eyes filled with self-assurance. In fact, such a tendon does not require many stitches, but each one must perfectlyplete the suturing of the tendon. That requires a meticulous approach! Like the technique Chen Cang had just performed; it had an effect that showed off his skills. But this was not showing off, it was a special tendon suturing technique, which demanded a highly solid and precise suturing foundation! Coincidentally! Chen Cang was a tendon suture master! Everyone was left agape, including Tan Zhonglin. Couple of doctors participating in the surgery couldn¡¯t help but swallow their saliva¡­ This is surely meant to scare us, isn¡¯t it? In Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes, there was aplex sentiment: he has improved again, improved again! And this improvement was a qualitative breakthrough! Tan Zhonglin found it extremely hard to believe that a young doctor in his twenties could possess such profound tendon suturing skills. The previous session had already shocked them enough. And this time, it was shattering their worldview! Isn¡¯t this too terrifying? Inparison to Tan Zhonglin. The younger doctors around him simply didn¡¯t know how to express their feelings at this moment. Some even felt a sense of defeat creeping over them. What kind of monster has our boss brought in? After the extensor tendon suturing, it seemed nobody was worried about the flexor tendon anymore¡­ After all, the hardest part was already done; what was this inparison? It wasn¡¯t long before the suturing waspleted! [Ding! Your tendon suturing has impressed all the doctors present, earning a basic skill from Tan Zhonglin, please select!] [Ding! Given your performance just now, which impressed everyone and perfectlypleted the surgery, a follow-up task has been triggered: assist inpleting a vascr suture. Upon finishing this task, fingertip reattachment surgery will be activated! ] Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! He had actually triggered a follow-up task, and moreover¡­ he could acquire fingertip reattachment surgery! Wait, not acquire? Activate? What¡¯s the difference between activation and acquisition? There shouldn¡¯t be a big difference, right? Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling joyful inside. Fingertip suture surgery is a high-level operation! Some hospitals treat it as a third-level surgery, and even the provincial second hospital has not yet started it. This might be the first third-level surgery he was about to have. You need to know that the main surgeries carried out in the emergency surgery room right now are of two kinds. One kind is the general emergency surgeries led by Chen Bingsheng, focusing primarily on hepatobiliary, pancreatic, splenic, and gastrointestinal operations. The other kind is the hand surgeries led by Director An Yanjun. However, Director An¡¯s hand surgery program hasn¡¯t been fullyunched yet. The main reason is that the equipment is still on its way. Once everything arrives, the emergency¡¯s hand surgery program will be the sole hand surgery base of the Provincial Second Hospital. In fact, establishing a hand surgery program has always been the idea of Li Baoshan, but without an operating room approved, it was quite troublesome. Even this time, Li Baoshan went through a lot of trouble and exerted significant effort to secure the approval. Now, at the reward stage, Tan Zhonglin stood in front of Chen Cang like a skill library, waiting for Chen Cang to choose one. However, only basic skills were avable for selection: [Advanced Vascr Suture]. Pass! [Advanced Tendon Suture]. Don¡¯t want it! [Advanced Debridement and Dressing Change], Next! [Advanced Nerve Suture]! The ultimate trump card! I choose you! When Chen Cang saw the Advanced Nerve Suture, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all and immediately decided to receive it. This skill was not easy toe by. Moreover, nerve suturing is much more intricate than tendon suturing, and theplexity level is also higher. If he could acquire this skill, it would be perfect! [Ding! Congrattions, you have acquired Nerve Suture, Advanced, Special effect: Precision!] Afterpleting the tendon suture, the most important step of reattaching the severed finger was about to take ce! That step was vascr suture. The most critical aspect of this tiny vascr anastomosis is to have endurance and patience. In summary, one must have stamina! Because the surgery is performed under a microscope, the entire process is extremely delicate, and without exceptional endurance and a persistent spirit, it¡¯s hard toplete the task well. Chen Cang was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the doctor who had handed him the needle was already picking up the vascr suturing needle to get ready. This left Chen Cangpletely stunned. In this situation, how could he speak up? Should he just grab the needle holder? That wouldn¡¯t be good¡­ We¡¯re all civilized people here¡­ Could the task be impossible toplete? Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at the man with a sigh, ¡°Ah¡­¡± At that moment, Zhou Yang had already noticed that Chen Cang had been staring at the needle holder in his hand for quite some time, and in his eyes¡­ there seemed to be a mix of longing and¡­ self-confidence? Thinking back to how impressively Chen Cang had performed the Tendon Suture Surgery, Zhou Yang wavered. Should he let this genius take over? With that thought, Zhou Yang lifted the needle holder, unable to resist asking, ¡°You¡­?¡± Chen Cang was startled, then reached over for the needle holder with a smile, ¡°No need to thank me, don¡¯t be polite!¡± Zhou Yang was dumbfounded: ?? ?? Did I say I was going to thank you? Was I being polite to you? Tan Zhonglin also couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡­ you know how to suture blood vessels?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm¡­ about the same level as suturing tendons¡­¡± With that said, the oue was self-evident. As expected, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes lit up and he switched sides cheerfully, ¡°Doctor Zhou, let Xiao Chen do the suturing.¡± Zhou Yang nodded. Who else to suture if not for him? But why¡­ did it feel so bitterly disappointing? As he watched Chen Cang suturing, a song called ¡°My Needle Holder¡± was beingposed in his mind, a gift to himself. You took away my needle holder It¡¯s fine, I still have my eyes! You underestimated me, thinking Icked skills. But I will never submit to you, not ever Chapter 144: Someone Has Taken a Fancy to Qin Yue (Please Subscribe) 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 yearster, 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: thetest guideline released, an uing 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-ss 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 ne, 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 ck tie or a red one?¡± Chen Cang:¡­ Zhang Youfu and Li Baoshan arepletely 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. Inparison, 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-ie 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 transnt 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,e 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 ttered. Sitting at the dining table, Wu Xueyu said with a smile, ¡°Little Qin, don¡¯t be shy at home. I had a great rtionship with your teacher when we were young!¡± Wu Xueyu was lean and wore gold-rimmed sses, 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 ced some food on Qin Yue¡¯s te, 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 Yueughed shyly, ¡°Professor Zhang, don¡¯t praise me too much. I¡¯m going to be conceited.¡± Zhang Jinfen suddenlyughed 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 pped 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 toe 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,e to the study with me. I was thinking over the trantion 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 red at Wu Zhe, ¡°You rascal, you¡¯re already 30! Still no partner.. If I¡¯m not worried, who will be?¡± Chapter 131: Where Did Xiao Chen Go (Please Subscribe!) Chapter 131: Where Did Xiao Chen Go (Please Subscribe!) [Ding! Vascr suturing taskpleted, finger rentation surgery activated!] Chen Cang was thrilled! Was it finally time? I¡¯ve been ready, soe forth, glorious finger rentation surgery! [Finger Rentation Surgery: Advanced; Level three surgery; Activation requirements: 1. Reach level 20; 2. Advanced vascr suture; 3- Advanced nerve suture; 4. Advanced tendon suture!] [Ding! Please reach level 20 before activating finger rentation surgery!] Chen Cang looked on coldly, his expression one of destion. 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 thepassionate 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 haspletely refreshed my understanding of tendon suturing, and that vascr suturing technique was absolutely exhrating. 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 tter 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, red 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 hospitalst time, I happened to see you in surgery and took the surveince 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 nced 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¡¯vee 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.¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 underparoscopy 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 re 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¡¯tpare 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 particrly difficult! The array of disorders encountered in emergency medicine isplicated and diverse, as an emergency physician, if youck 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 singr 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 somewhatckluster 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,pared 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 whiteb 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 ss 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 Cangter; leaving his post during work hours¡­ Following Li Baoshan, Li Jianwei and the others who hade 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. I had nned to release it at 12 o¡¯clock, but I clicked wrong¡­. Chapter 132: Graduate Student?? (Please Subscribe!) 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 hasmitted 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 thatmon¡ªProvincial People¡¯s Hospital and East University Second Hospital were among the few, and naturally, Tan Zhonglin was highly sought after by various hospitals, regrly 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 exin, ¡°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 ce 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.¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 im 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 ce, 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,e to my office with me!¡± That¡¯s when everyone returned to the director¡¯s office. After listening to Chen Cang exin the whole situation, Li Jianwei and the others were momentarily unable to ept 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 immediatelyughed 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 rmendation 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 rm 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 hospitalter on, this ce 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 nned to update at 12:00, but 1 identally released a chapter early¡­. Chapter 147: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!) Chapter 147: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!) Chen Cang discreetly returned to the duty room and locked the door. ss change, huh! This was too incredible; even in games, one needed to find a professional mentor to change sses. If there were any extraordinary phenomenons, they¡¯d be difficult to exin. Chen Cang sat quietly by the bed, his heart filled with anxiety, when suddenly, he heard a system prompt. [Congrattions, you¡¯ve reached level 20. Pleaseplete your ss change as soon as possible. Before the ss change is sessful, your clinical level cannot be increased.] [ss change methods: First, find a mentor qualified for ss change andplete the mentor¡¯s task; second, activate a ss change certificate andplete the task on it; third, create a new specialty, which automatically starts the ss change.] [Reminder: Ways to obtain a ss change certificate: 1. From king-level monsters; 2. Gifted by a distinguished teacher; 3. Dropped in PK¡­ and more!] [Pleaseplete your ss change quickly to be a morepetent medical worker!] Chen Cang looked at the barrage of messages, truly feeling overwhelmed by the information. There were three ways to change sses. The first was to find someone with the qualifications to be a mentor andplete their tasks to change sses, but¡­ there was a problem. With so many qualified people, why would they assign a ss 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 hepleted it, there was a chance to earn Qian Liang¡¯s approval, thus fulfilling the mentor¡¯s task and changing sses. Qian Liang was a master in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, so if Chen Cang changed sses like this, he might end up in the hepatobiliary surgery field. Mentor-disciple ss change probably means what the teacher is, I am too. The second method was to activate a ss change certificate andplete the task listed to change sses, which meant the certificate definitely had professional limits. Thinking of this, Chen Cang took out the ss 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 ss Change Certificate!¡± This was a thoracic surgery ss change certificate! Chen Cang hesitated, feeling uneasy. If he could only change sses once, he definitely wouldn¡¯t choose thoracic surgery. [Ding! There is no limit to the number of ss 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 ss 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 ss change methods, Chen Cang fell into deep thought. ording to the plots of novels, TV dramas, and online games, of the three ss 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, cing one in an elite tier. And the second, relying on a ss change certificate¡­ that was probably the most mediocre and lowest-tier option! Realization brought a touch of mncholy to Chen Gang¡¯s heart. Sigh¡­ But having the opportunity to change sses more than once wasn¡¯t without hope! With that thought, Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and opened the ss change certificate. [Would you like to change sses to: Thoracic Surgeon?] [Yes!] [Ding! Thoracic surgery job change quest triggered, quest requirements: Within one week, y a high-grade monster toplete 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,mon 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 galldders. The odds of making aeback 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 outughing, ¡°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 ster 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 ce 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. stic 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 postoperativeplications and reducing the risk of seque. 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 134: Breaking Through Master Level (Subscribe Please) 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. Andtely, Old Chen had been acting strangely too, heading home early after finishing his surgeries¡ªa very rare urrence. 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 weed him. That must have been Jin Qingzhi¡¯s driver, the one who drove Chen Cang to the hospitalst 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 nces. 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 wee 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 ept. 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 fist 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 ssic 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 bing 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 be 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 galldders! 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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 be 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 ur after reaching level 20! Could it be¡­ like in games, that a ss change would ur? Thinking of this, Chen Cang was filled with anticipation. What would this ss change look like! Just as he entered the hospital, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system¡¯s notification sound. [Ding! Congrattions, you have fulfilled Guo Cheng¡¯s request, helpedplete 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 galldder 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 theplication 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, bybining his own surgical experience, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of galldder surgery deepened significantly! Actually, when you get down to it, Cholecystectomy is not considered a major operation, nor is it particrlyplicatedpared to appendectomy, but indeed, it is quite a bit more difficult. The difficulty mainly lies in the galldder¡¯s moreplex physiological structurepared to the appendix. That¡¯s why one is a level two surgery, and the other is merely a level one surgery for beginners! The galldder area has something called Calot¡¯s triangle, which must be dissected to ess the galldder; it¡¯s like giving the galldder a wall, making the ¡°attack¡± on the galldder more challenging. For those challenging cholecystectomies, it¡¯s just that the barriers are moreplex, like building a moat outside the wall, setting up defensive ramparts. The appendix, however, is less fortunate, being the boss of the beginners¡¯ vige; 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! Congrattions, 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 be Chen Cang¡¯s special effect 2: Reduction of postcholecystectomy syndrome! Chapter 135: The Surgery I Had Before Was Fake, Right? (Please Subscribe) 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 potentialplications. 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! Theparoscopic cholecystectomy technique that Chen Cang had just acquired was, in fact, an improvement and refinement on the traditionalparoscopic 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 oues 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 ofpleting 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 seque after galldder 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 ur in patients with a history of galldder removal. It is not exactly a disease, has various causes, and its clinical manifestations vary greatly. Moreover, many diseases are not at all rted to the cholecystectomy! This disease is jokingly referred to as the unsolved mystery after galldder removal! Scientists and medical researchers have conducted various studies, but the cause remains unclear, and no precise exnation 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 nced 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 nned 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 ying with new tricks. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 insuftion needle¡­ The surgery proceeded methodically, and this time, when Chen Cang inserted the insuftion 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 variousplications, 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 theparoscope there??? Chen Cang, by positioning theparoscope at different locations, made images of the galldder from various angles appear on the monitor. And at that moment! Suddenly, gallstones appeared within the abdominal cavity just below the galldder 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 Cange up with this idea? By changing the angle of theparoscope, 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, aparoscopic cholecystectomy could be performed this way¡­ The operation didn¡¯t take much time at all! Yet, Wang Yong watched with a perplexed expression. Afterpleting 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 ce, you guys are so powerful! I¡¯m a bit scared, if we had started on the 1st, would we have gotten 9th ce? 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 bepleted 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: This Duan Bo is Not That Duan Bo (Please Subscribe!) 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 apletely new concept, capable of achieving many surprisingly effective oues! For instance, the initial insertion of the puncture needle and the skillful separation of the galldder with an electrical hook, while precisely avoiding the bile duct to prevent damage! And the angle chosen for theparoscope 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 couldpletely prevent the urrence ofplications. For example, special use of theparoscope 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 pped his forehead, realizing how confused he had be. After all, currently, the only person who called Chen Cang ¡°Dr. Chen¡± was this director. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help butugh, 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 rtively free. Chen Cang replied promptly, ¡°I¡¯m free all tomorrow afternoon.¡± Upon hearing this, Duan Bo burst intoughter. ¡°That¡¯s great. We¡¯ve prepared 8 patients for appendectomy, and we¡¯d like you toe 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,e 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 sry 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 toplete! 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 ne to attend meetings in other ces, and immediately after those conferences are finished, they have to return without dy, 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 medicalmunity 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! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 tter, 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 upte performing surgeries, and then having to write medical records after. To tell the truth¡­ with a monthly sry of only 2200 yuan, it nowhere nearpensated 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 ie. Of course, excluding his own extras and the rewards from the system. Chen Cang filled Wang Yong¡¯s ss with beer. ¡°It¡¯s been tough thesest 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 sses 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 ss 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 uing assessment. You really have a talent for surgery, quick eyes and skilled hands, good at noticing details. What youck is just an opportunity!¡± Wang Yong¡¯s eyes lit up! What hecked 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 simr, 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 sses full, Chen Cang asked, ¡°The technique I demonstrated today was the improved method forparoscopic 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 forparoscopic 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 constantlye 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. ps: There will be five more updatester¡­ Thank you for your monthly votes, we¡¯ve already reached the ninth spot¡­. Awesome, awesome! Chapter 137: You Insist on Coming When You’re Not Invited! Chapter 137: You Insist on Coming When You¡¯re Not Invited! ¡°I told you not toe, but you insisted oning!¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 Xiann 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 fitst night, and it made my heart ufortable. 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 toe 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 stille 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 de factory dormitory not far from the Second Provincial Hospital. He was a leader his whole life, articte 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 regr 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, hisplexion 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 regr 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 mane? 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 Xiann, 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 Xiann wouldn¡¯t say a word. As the saying goes, a patient long-ill bes 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¡­ evena, 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 butugh. 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 sessful son, but sadly, he was paralyzed at home due to the seque 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-inw, 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 olddy 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 Xiann who attentively looked after him, and the young nurses hustling around. Looking at Tian Xiann, Grandpa Wang said with a smile, ¡°Xiao Tian, I initially wanted to set you up with my son. It¡¯s a good thing thatd 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 Xiann 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 Xiann who worked as a nurse in the emergency department. Tian Xiann smiled, ¡°Grandpa Wang, you¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± Grandpa Wangughed heartily, looking at the walls around the emergency department, and suddenly let out a sigh, ¡°The old, run-down Second Provincial Hospital has be 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 olddy 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 olddy said thank you and headed for the observation room. Old Wang was receiving oxygen when he saw his spousee in, immediately reproaching her, ¡°I told you not toe, yet you insisted oning!¡± The olddy red back at him, ¡°How can I be at ease? If you were alright, I definitely wouldn¡¯t havee!¡± Old Wang felt warmth in his heart and sighed, ¡°Now that you¡¯re here, what about our son?¡± The olddy, sitting by the bed, tenderly held Old Wang¡¯s hand, ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy turned, ¡°What is it?¡± Old Wang smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s have dumplings for lunch? I¡¯ll go buy some meat.¡± The olddy red, ¡°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 olddy, yet it was apanion¡¯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 toe, yet you insisted oning!¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯te, 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 promations¡­ Chen Cang turned his head away, not even daring to look at the two old people again. N?v(el)B\\jnn Because he simply couldn¡¯t help them with anything; he could only watch helplessly as such scenes continued to unfold.. Chapter 138: What a Pity You Studied Medicine! (Please Subscribe) 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 becameparatively 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,prehensive data, and could even be called a ssic!¡± This ttery made Qin Yue extremelyfortable, ¡°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 directlyughed 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 red hard and said, ¡°Because even the dean thinks you¡¯recking!¡± 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 trantion. 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 recentlyunched one is pretty good¡­ I he trantion 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 frommon English, and even between different journals, the style of wording and sentence construction can vary considerably. I his trantion was already quite decent, but there were some imperfections that needed to be addressed. It appeared that the trantor wasn¡¯t profoundly knowledgeable about surgery, which led to some minor issues with the terminology, phrasing, and descriptions of surgical procedures. However, the minor ws did not detract from the overall quality of the trantion. It was a well-tranted 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 ced the paper back on the table. Wang Qian said, ¡°Little Qin, I didn¡¯t see thating. Your paper is quite good. If it gets properly tranted 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 trantion.¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was instantly shocked, ¡°Are you talking about¡­ Professor Wu Xueyu? My god¡­ Professor Wu is a renowned trantor of medical literature. He even led the trantion of thetest ¡®2019 Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Internal Medicine Diseases¡¯.¡± Qin Yue nodded, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Professor Wu! He and my teacher were university ssmates.¡± n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Wang Qian was a student at Dongyang Medical University, and upon hearing the name Wu Xueyu, he was naturally impressed, ¡°Awesome! Professor Wu personally tranting, 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 tond 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. ncing 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 trantion 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 nced 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 aborer. 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 ced Director Li as the second author¡­¡± Look at us, ving away, and the one who benefits most is over there reading novels¡­ I mean, Chen Cang, how can you be soid 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 trantion. 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 nced 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 Yuepletely 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 littlepdog 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 stered on a smile and nodded at Chen Cang. Chen Cang was dumbfounded, ¡°Your acting¡­ It¡¯s praise-worthy.¡± Our anti-Japanese dramas aren¡¯t popr because theyck 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 havee to tell me to correct the chapters, haha! Chapter 139: What is the Purpose of People’s 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,ing 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 ck Buick, the license te number is¡­¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯lle 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 utterlypelling! 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 apanying 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¡¯smuting 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! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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, apanied by several doctors from the department, each showing Chen Cang a great deal of respect. After thest disy 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; yourpetency 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 thezy Susan when you are picking dishes during a meal. If that is a measure of sess, Chen Cang was very sessful 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 apetitive 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 ofparoscopic 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 toplete 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, exining 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 sessful 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 aparoscopic surgery, he had often performed appendix removals. The core of this minimally invasive procedure was to utilize effective space toplete 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 isted 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 sess? 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 foundationid 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 thest 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 inmmatory exudate all around, but¡­. where is the appendix?¡± Chapter 155: Bootlickers Can’t Get a House! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) 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¡¯lle 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 y. 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 ufortable. 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 sinceing to the city, he felt out of ce, keeping his distance from the rich and powerful. At this time, he chose to step back. Seeing this, Chen Cang felt helpless. About three minutester, 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 dy it?¡± Chen Cang had already grown weary of these rich VIPs, impervious to reason! The only thing that could be dyed 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 dy any further!¡± Chen Gang¡¯s words were unceremonious, leaving Song Qiang as if pped 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 sses stood up, let out a coldugh, ¡°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 Cangforted him: ¡°Big Brother Zhou, you¡¯re about the same age as my parents, and they¡¯re also vigers. 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 themter 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 ce 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 ce, 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 ce was that he felt it vited his medical conscience! Taking a deep breath, even if today was thest day he would stand in this hospital, he would make sure to stand tall! ¡°I¡¯ll administer the anesthetic, just rx¡­¡± 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,ing 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 amotion! ¡°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 inte, 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 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!) Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!) Atst! In the midst of everyone¡¯s tension and unease, just as the patient was about to feel the onset of pain, the surgery waspleted! [Ding! Congrattions, respected doctor, you have removed a King-grade appendix monster! You have obtained: 1. A ss 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 ss 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 apud! ¡°Expert Chen, you are really amazing!¡± Doctor Yang, who had witnessed the entire surgery, eximed with an excited round of apuse! 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 sess 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 be 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 iprehensible 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 exin 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 viges, 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 wasfortable. 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¡¯tpare 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 seldommunicate 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. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 rtionship. Add to that many surgeries require everyone to work together which necessitates mutual assistance, it¡¯s like being teammates orrades in battle, and naturally, rtionships 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, ab 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 andpleting 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! Congrattions, 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 tough 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;
    1. Power +3; 3. Defense +3; Apanying Skill: Bai Qiuen¡¯s Blessing; Skill Tip: After use, all your statuses including strength and power will return to peak condition (can be used once a week!)]
    2. 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 thest feature, the apanying 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 somesting 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! Thest 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 ina 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¡­ Power up with monthly passes! Six updates today as thanks to everyone, thank you for the support! Remember to activate auto-renewal¡­
    Chapter 142: Venipuncture Catheterization! (Please Subscribe) 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 ambnces parked outside the emergency department, like harbingers of doom, their shing 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 dys; 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 ambnces 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 identally puncturing the subvian 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 apanying 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 wasing? 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 toe 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 subvian 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 subvian 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 cirction, central venous administration is the fastest way! And yet at this time, the venous catheterization couldn¡¯t bepleted! It had be 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 sessfully used, congrattions 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 sessfully punctured!¡± With that, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn! So quickly? Others had been trying for half the day without sess, and Dr. Chen seeded 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 sessfully 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!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chapter 143: Are We Really That Bad? (Please Subscribe!) 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 ambnce; they had to set off for An Yang City immediately. Chen Cang suddenly said to the apanying 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 ambnce, 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 be a minor supervisor. Yet when it came to critical, severe illnesses and special rescues, he was still out there apanying the ambnce! 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 cement? 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 ambnce 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? Somepare it to detectives: for any sudden incident, you must rush to the rescue; you are thest 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 ambnce 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, ipetence, and impotence washed over him, preventing him from feeling any joy from his aplishments. 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 vige 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 be 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 butcked the ability to make significant changes. Just like today¡¯s situation, Lan County still had an ambnce to send the patient to the hospital in time, but what about those vigers 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!¡± eximed 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 Zhonging 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 thepany went bankrupt, Chen Cang¡¯s deposit had never been refunded. He asionally 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 simrly unpredictable? Today had given Chen Cang a lot to ponder. Under the prity, grassroots hospitals were still rtively backward, with a scarcity of talent and shortage of medical resources. Chen Cang sighed. We are all groping forward, andpared 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 Youfuughed: ¡°Well, Xiao Chen, tomorrow I¡¯m going to attend a health program on Dongyang TV station, and the hospital hopes I can promote yourparoscopic surgery¡¯s minimally invasive wound to boost the hospital¡¯s poprity after I go there.. Could you send me the PowerPoint presentation from that day, if it¡¯s convenient for you?¡± Chapter 144: Someone Has Taken a Fancy to Qin Yue (Please Subscribe) 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 yearster, 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: thetest guideline released, an uing 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-ss 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 ne, 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 ck tie or a red one?¡± Chen Cang:¡­ Zhang Youfu and Li Baoshan arepletely 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. Inparison, 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-ie 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 transnt 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,e 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 ttered. Sitting at the dining table, Wu Xueyu said with a smile, ¡°Little Qin, don¡¯t be shy at home. I had a great rtionship with your teacher when we were young!¡± Wu Xueyu was lean and wore gold-rimmed sses, 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 ced some food on Qin Yue¡¯s te, 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 Yueughed shyly, ¡°Professor Zhang, don¡¯t praise me too much. I¡¯m going to be conceited.¡± Zhang Jinfen suddenlyughed 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 pped 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 toe 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.¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om After eating, Wu Xueyu turned to Qin Yue and said, ¡°Little Qin,e to the study with me. I was thinking over the trantion 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 red at Wu Zhe, ¡°You rascal, you¡¯re already 30! Still no partner.. If I¡¯m not worried, who will be?¡± Chapter 145 - 145 (Please Subscribe) 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 toe 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 reced 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 ssmates had suggested. With this realization, Wu Xueyu smiled, ced 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 trantion 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 trante it¡­ Wu Xueyu smiled, ¡°This trantion is pretty good. When you get back, just modify the electronic version, and it should be fine.¡± Qin Yue nodded nkly. 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. Aftering 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, iming 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!¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 ces after all, and those people wouldn¡¯t dare physically harass you. At most, they¡¯d make cheekyments 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 nce down at the thing with a 45-degree angle, and remember this! The crucial part¡¯sing 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 theyin 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 im 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, nonchntly 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 intoughter! Chang Lina was truly a pro! Chang Lina continued, ¡°But remember one thing, nevery a hand on it!¡± Xiaolin immediately asked, ¡°Why not? Didn¡¯t you just say we should p 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 financialpensation.¡± ¡°In the end, there was nopensation, 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 medicalmunity 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: Level Up to 20! (Please Subscribe) 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 apanied 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 ced the girl on it. The girl was quite pretty, with a melon-seed face, fair skin, long hair, and fashionable dress. However, shey on the bed with stiff limbs, her hands cramped and unable to spread like chicken ws, 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 amon 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 inarticte 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 rtionship 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 w 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 justy 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 neurologye 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 juste 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 toe and sign.¡± Yan Ming ced great importance on getting a signature, emphasizing it repeatedly back and forth. As soon as Yang Lin heard this, he went in tomunicate 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 urred. 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 ountable! 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 rtives, 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 exining 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, missionplete: 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 butugh. This is not epilepsy at all! n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om It¡¯s clearly a case of poisoning! At this moment, the expert guidance system also provided the answer: Overventtion syndrome! The poison was one she had inflicted upon herself! This was a ssic 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¡¯sck of experience might dy 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, ¡°Rx, don¡¯t be nervous¡­ Don¡¯t take deep breaths, yes¡­ Rx¡­¡± 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,e 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! Howe she¡¯s suddenly better? She justy 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 Lining over out of curiosity. Chen Cang continued, ¡°Actually, this is a case of overventtion 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 venttion of carbon dioxide, leading to too much CO2 being expelled from the body, resulting in ack 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, andmented, ¡°Hmm, if you had kissed her sooner, maybe you wouldn¡¯t have had toe to the hospital at all¡­¡± The young couple, hearing this, intensified their disy. 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 rm and quickly made his exit! However, at this moment, there was even more important news. Ding! Congrattions, 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: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!) Chapter 147: Job Change System Activated! (Please subscribe-!) Chen Cang discreetly returned to the duty room and locked the door. ss change, huh! This was too incredible; even in games, one needed to find a professional mentor to change sses. If there were any extraordinary phenomenons, they¡¯d be difficult to exin. Chen Cang sat quietly by the bed, his heart filled with anxiety, when suddenly, he heard a system prompt. [Congrattions, you¡¯ve reached level 20. Pleaseplete your ss change as soon as possible. Before the ss change is sessful, your clinical level cannot be increased.] [ss change methods: First, find a mentor qualified for ss change andplete the mentor¡¯s task; second, activate a ss change certificate andplete the task on it; third, create a new specialty, which automatically starts the ss change.] [Reminder: Ways to obtain a ss change certificate: 1. From king-level monsters; 2. Gifted by a distinguished teacher; 3. Dropped in PK¡­ and more!] [Pleaseplete your ss change quickly to be a morepetent medical worker!] Chen Cang looked at the barrage of messages, truly feeling overwhelmed by the information. There were three ways to change sses. The first was to find someone with the qualifications to be a mentor andplete their tasks to change sses, but¡­ there was a problem. With so many qualified people, why would they assign a ss 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 hepleted it, there was a chance to earn Qian Liang¡¯s approval, thus fulfilling the mentor¡¯s task and changing sses. Qian Liang was a master in the field of hepatobiliary surgery, so if Chen Cang changed sses like this, he might end up in the hepatobiliary surgery field. Mentor-disciple ss change probably means what the teacher is, I am too. The second method was to activate a ss change certificate andplete the task listed to change sses, which meant the certificate definitely had professional limits. Thinking of this, Chen Cang took out the ss 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 ss Change Certificate!¡± This was a thoracic surgery ss change certificate! Chen Cang hesitated, feeling uneasy. If he could only change sses once, he definitely wouldn¡¯t choose thoracic surgery. [Ding! There is no limit to the number of ss 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 ss 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 ss change methods, Chen Cang fell into deep thought. ording to the plots of novels, TV dramas, and online games, of the three ss 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, cing one in an elite tier. And the second, relying on a ss change certificate¡­ that was probably the most mediocre and lowest-tier option! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Realization brought a touch of mncholy to Chen Gang¡¯s heart. Sigh¡­ But having the opportunity to change sses more than once wasn¡¯t without hope! With that thought, Chen Cang didn¡¯t hesitate and opened the ss change certificate. [Would you like to change sses to: Thoracic Surgeon?] [Yes!] [Ding! Thoracic surgery job change quest triggered, quest requirements: Within one week, y a high-grade monster toplete 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,mon 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 galldders. The odds of making aeback 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 outughing, ¡°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 ster 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 ce 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. stic 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 postoperativeplications and reducing the risk of seque. 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: Sorry, mistaken identity! (Please subscribe) Chapter 148: Sorry, mistaken identity! Every time Chen Cang went to Zhixin stic 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 alsoe 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 ce, and manyplications 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 stic Surgery Hospital, the true backer was Mr. Hu; inly speaking, his boss. Rushing downstairs to the reception room, Zhang Zhixin saw Hu Chuanjin sitting there, smiling and chatting jovially with a man. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Byparison, 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 rxed, 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 myst visit, and I didn¡¯t expect the hospital to be doing so well. Zhixin, all the credit goes to you. You deserve a higher sry for your hard work as the director.¡± Zhang Zhixin also started tough. 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 hade here to undergo stic surgery, which made me very angry.¡± ¡°She was fine as she was; why did she need to get stic surgery? Now she¡¯s just causing trouble for me, isn¡¯t she?¡¯ Hu Chuanjin chuckled, ¡°All women have a bit of vanity, and nowadays, stic surgery is somonce. 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 ept 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 apanies 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 ept this, but you should also try to understand Fangfang.¡± ¡°All women have a desire for beauty. You¡¯re so sessful, 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 stic 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¡¯mte 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 simr enough so that my parents would think she¡¯s just wearing makeup. Don¡¯t go shaving bones and adding nose imnts, 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 stic 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 stic 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, herees 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 nced at her, then hurriedly closed the door and walked away, as if he was calcting 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 stic 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 stic 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 waspletely dumbfounded and quickly pulled Fu Yufang back in with a hug. He hurriedly exined, ¡°Oh, Fangfang, you¡¯ve got it all wrong, I just came to see you. I heard you were getting stic 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 red, ¡°You¡¯re still trying to justify yourself! I really misjudged you, Guo Yongliang. Who am I getting stic surgery for? You heartless creature!¡± Chapter 149: The Millionaire’s Opportunity! Chapter 149: The Millionaire¡¯s Opportunity! After a round of exnations, 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 resemnce, every part seemed simr, 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 inte celebrity, she would definitely lose her temper!¡± ¡°But now it¡¯s great, really beautiful!¡± Guo Yongliang had been givingpliments for over ten minutes, carefully examining her face inside and out, ¡°This is all real, right?¡± Chen Cang exined, ¡°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 stic surgery.¡± Fu Yufang huffed at Guo Yongliang, ¡°Did you think it was going to be like those inte 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 stic 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 be so discerning that you no longer recognize your Sister Xiao?¡± Guo Yongliang quickly cracked a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just that Sister Xiao has be 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. stic 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 stic 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 exining to the parents? If the stic surgery made her look more beautiful¡ªgenuinely beautiful¡ªand she also appeared dignified and ssy, then there¡¯s no issue with exining. 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 ites 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, ording 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 stic surgery hospital was hefty, and a ten percent share of the profits, based onst 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 stic 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 ept 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 ss specifically, be responsible for designing stic 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 ie, 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 rtionship with Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, and you¡¯re wee to coborate 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 stic 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 toe 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 hase so suddenly that I¡¯m not quite prepared for it.¡± Hu Chuanjin chuckled, ¡°Take your time to calcte, take your time! If you have any other ideas for coboration, 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 frencing? 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 sh of insight¡ªright! He could definitely opt for a frence, flying-doctor approach without any restrictions. Although the share of the profits might seem attractive now, with an entire stic surgery hospital as a tform, he didn¡¯t have to join to coborate, 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 ites to making money, you might earn more in the short term by sharing profits, as the hospital provides you with a tform 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 stic Surgery Hospital, and your personal renown can¡¯t spread beyond it, or if it does, it is tied to the hospital. But frencing 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,fortable, 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: Lucky Bag Task! (Please Subscribe) 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 bepletely 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 stic 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 idents, there would be many inconveniences! After some thought, Chen Cang decided to go back and consider Zhang Zhixin¡¯s suggestion. Zhang Zhixin suddenly smiled, pped 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 stic 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 topare 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 galldder and appendix removal surgeries! Why so many all of a sudden? Li Baoshan exined, ¡°On Friday night, the head of surgery, Zhang Youfu, made a special mention on TV of the minimally invasiveparoscopic surgery that our department recently started offering. Many patients havee 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 thisparoscopic technique quickly. We hope to poprize 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 newparoscopic 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 ce.¡± ¡°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. N?v(el)B\\jnn The surgery started quickly, with Chen Cang demonstrating the first procedure. As he operated, he exined, 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 byparing, while Chen Cang could point out minor issues more urately. The surgery proceeded methodically, with Wang Yong bing 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¡¯tpletelyprehensive 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 ustomed 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 toe 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 exined, ¡°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 galldder surgery, and his use of theparoscope 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 Yongtely, 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 172 - 173: Repentance is the Most Useless Apology (Vote for Monthly Tickets-) Chapter 172: Chapter 173: Repentance is the Most Useless Apology (Vote for Monthly Tickets-) Generally speaking, for foreign body airway obstruction, the mostmonly used method is the Heimlich maneuver. The principle is to use an impact on the abdominal area, beneath the diaphragm¡¯s soft tissues. The sudden impact creates an upward pressure,pressing the lower part of the lungs to drive the remaining air to form a flow. This impactful and directional airflow can dislodge the object blocking the throat and save the person¡¯s life. However, the Heimlich maneuver also has a high risk ofplications and is not very effective. The little girl¡¯s father was clearly not proficient in this operation. By the time she was brought to the hospital, the little girl had already lost consciousness; at such a critical juncture, the Heimlich maneuver is not the most effective measure. In the hospital, the choice of bronchoscopy and tracheotomy is much more appropriate than the Heimlich maneuver. If Chen Cang were outside, in the courtyard facing such a patient, he would definitely use the Heimlich maneuver for emergency aid. But if the patient¡¯s breath and heartbeat stopped, at this time, one should not hit the patient¡¯s back but should contact the hospital promptly. The endoscopy room¡¯s treatment room facility at the Second Provincial Hospital is highly equipped. Although it cannot bepared with the operating room, it is sufficient for conducting a tracheotomy. However, since it is a surgery, no matter the size, one must sign a bunch of paperwork with family members including informed consent forms and surgery consent forms. Although the situation is urgent, Chen Cang must also attend to these matters. Don¡¯t think these things are dispensable. Since it¡¯s called surgery, it means there is a certain level of risk and limitations; nothing is absolutely foolproof. Chen Cang exited the door of the endoscopy room and saw a man and a woman arguing! To be precise, a woman dressed in what seemed like a bank professional suit stood there, with tears streaming down her face, pointing at a man sitting on a chair. ¡°Xu Liang, what can you, a grown man, do? You can¡¯t even watch your child, spending all your time ying those damn games! You want to y, yeah? Why aren¡¯t you ying now? I¡¯m telling you, if anything happens to the child, we are getting a divorce!¡± Xu Liang buried his head between his legs, his hands clutching the back of his head, letting the woman curse him out without saying a word. This really was his fault! If something really happened to the child, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. His mind kept reying her sweet smile, and to Xu Liang, it felt as if knives were slicing cuts into his heart! Does it hurt? The heartaches like it¡¯s being carved with knives! Xu Liang would even use his own life in exchange for his child¡¯s life. She was only three years old! Cute, sensible, always smiling. Just thesest few days, he finally taught her the phic alphabet. Sweetie was so happy, seemingly filled with endless enthusiasm for those letters, reading aloud over and over again, writing from memory time and again. Every time Xu Liang thought of this, he couldn¡¯t wait to throw away his phone! If he hadn¡¯t yed games, if he had stayed with the child to finish her homework, helped her read out the phic letters, watched her grow up¡­ How wonderful that would have been! With these thoughts, tears dropped from Xu Liang¡¯s eyes onto the ground. It¡¯s not about being wronged! It¡¯s about remorse! It¡¯s about helplessness! Life is only once, no one pays for your mistakes, Xu Liang¡¯s hands dug into his hair, his scalp, even¡­ into his flesh! But this pain is nothing. Nothing is as important as little Sweetie¡¯s life at this moment. Thinking back on every little moment of life, remembering his adorable daughter sitting on top of his head, plucking at his hair while teasing, ¡®Daddy¡¯s hair is so oily, Daddy doesn¡¯t wash his hair¡¯, Xu Liang could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs. He was terrified! He was scared to death! He was full of regret, an agony beyond words! His wife¡¯s scolding, venting, and anger were somehow a relief to him. Scold me! I was wrong! I truly repent¡­ My wife¡¯s anger and irritation, instead, provided me with a slight relief from my sense of guilt. ¡°Xu Liang, you owe me, you owe my daughter¡­¡± The woman cried messily, her professional suit smeared with snot and tears, but none of that mattered, what could be more important than one¡¯s child? The other patients around them also sighed! No one med orined. Too many stories unfold every day in the hospital, there¡¯s joy, anger, consideration, sadness, fear, there¡¯s separation and reunion, there¡¯s¡­ Everyone just looked at the woman with sympathy. What else could they do? Seeing this, Chen Cang approached, ¡°That, family member of the patient.¡± As Xu Liang saw Chen Cang, he quickly stood up, ¡°Doctor, Doctor! How¡¯s my daughter?¡± The woman also quieted down suddenly, her eyes brimming with tears, ¡°Doctor¡­ Doctor, how¡¯s Sweetie?¡± Chen Cang looked at Xu Liang, whose face was still streaked with tears, ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous, the child is not in immediate danger for her life, but we can¡¯t remove the bronchoscope forceps, surgery is needed to open up the trachea and remove the foreign object, I need your signature.¡± On hearing there was no immediate danger to life, Xu Liang and the woman both breathed a sigh of relief! After all, when the child was brought in, her breathing was so faint it nearly vanished¡­ Xu Liang quickly nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll sign! I¡¯ll sign whatever! Doctor¡­ you must save the child, no matter how much it costs, whatever it takes, okay?¡± Chen Cang nodded seriously, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do my best.¡± After Chen Cang had the nurses exin the paperwork to the family and had them sign it, he returned to the operating room to prepare the various instruments needed for the surgery, along with the requisite drugs. Chen Cang began to exin and arrange the work toe, everything proceeding in an orderly, calm fashion. Chen Cang¡¯s mature performance relieved Xiao He of the nerves he had earlier. But it also sparked his curiosity: this young man really had the poise and demeanor of an emergency physician, as if everything was well in hand. How was it that he wasn¡¯t very familiar with such an outstanding young man? After all, the endoscopy room often faced many critical situations, and it was rare to see this young mane to help. Could he be new here? The nurse walked in, holding the signed documents, and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, he¡¯s signed everything.¡± Chen Cang nodded and nced at Xiao He, ¡°Let¡¯s start! Director, could you help me position the child¡¯s head.¡± Xiao He nodded, understanding Chen Cang¡¯s intention. Although it wasn¡¯t thoracic surgery, positioning the head to center the trachea was basic medical knowledge. Chen Cang began the routine procedure of disinfection and draping. All of a sudden, Chen Cang realized, if a soldier takes pride in their nket-folding skills, then we surgeons definitely have a smooth and sharp talent forying sheets! At the very least, it¡¯s at a perfect level! ¡°1% lidocaine + 1 drop of adrenaline!¡± The nurse nodded, these had already been prepared in advance. This type of anesthesia was a local infiltration anesthesia, and Chen Cang began to slowly inject it from the subcartginous area to the suprasternal notch. The reason Chen Cang hadn¡¯t called Liu Jian was precisely due to this: if the patient was still bouncing around during a tracheostomy, a professional anesthetist would be required for intravenous medication. This local anesthesia wasn¡¯t much different from treating a small wound.. Chapter 152: Starting Gift Pack (Requesting Monthly Votes!) 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 ipetent, 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 yed 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 andpleting the ss change task to im 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 mostmon surgeries. In fact, the moremon 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 asion. 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 apanies good news, and Li Baoshan, also smiling, said, ¡°These youngrades have sessfully be 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 ofughter. ¡°Wow! Little Chen has be 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 popr in surgery; after all, except for Yuan Fan, Chen Cang had almost made aplete 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 yed 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 red venomously at Chen Cang. [Ding! Yuan Fan¡¯s favorability -10!] Unperturbed, Chen Cang was ustomed 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 mighte 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: Special Circumstances (Request for Monthly Votes) 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 regr 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. N?v(el)B\\jnn So many people rushing into the emergency room at once aroused some curiosity. These construction worker brothers were all unkempt, their camouged 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 ayer 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 apanying 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 sses, looking very schrly with eyebrows reminiscent of Lu Xun. He looked at Chen Cang and said with a smile, ¡°I identally 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 nced 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 ce in the clean treatment room, apparently feeling a mix of shame and difort. 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 identally 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 vascr 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 apanying 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 ofpassion; it¡¯s not easy toe 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 ce an order for tendon suture surgery for each of them. By the way, are you going to set up an ount for deferred payment or¡­?¡± The short, stout foreman quickly said, ¡°No deferred payment, I¡¯ve brought money!¡± He hade sote 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 idents 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 adhesionster 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 rtively quick sewing pace, because there was another man with equally severe injuries waiting behind. Chapter 154: Sorry, it’s not convenient to answer the phone (Vote for me!) Chapter 154: Sorry, it¡¯s not convenient to answer the phone (Vote for me!) Outside the treatment room, Zhou Kuangsheng sat with a thin, schrly- 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 ced 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 sses, 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 ce to ce 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 rtives? 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 identally 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 toe 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!¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 toe 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 hee out yet!¡± The boy said with a mocking tone, ¡°You think this is your hospital? You ask someone toe out, and they just appear? This is a hospital, not yourpany. 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 ident, 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 ande for a follow-up as prescribed.¡± After speaking, Chen Cang said to Zhou Kuangsheng, ¡°You cane 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 dy for long.¡± Upon hearing this, the woman¡¯s face brightened, and she hurriedly turned back, ¡°Come,e, Rui Er,e 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 coldugh, ¡°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 thister. After all, your health is what¡¯s important.¡± While talking, the man red at the woman and pulled the boy forward. The woman followed: ¡°Doctor, please treat my child first. He¡¯s still young; don¡¯t dy!¡± 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 ss 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 rtively 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,e 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 amodation for us?¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°You¡¯ll need to wait outside. The boy¡¯s condition isn¡¯t too severe, so a short dy 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 ident 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,e in quickly. Your condition doesn¡¯t look good; hurry in!¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but urge. Chapter 155: Bootlickers Can’t Get a House! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) 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¡¯lle 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 y. 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 ufortable. 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 sinceing to the city, he felt out of ce, keeping his distance from the rich and powerful. At this time, he chose to step back. Seeing this, Chen Cang felt helpless. About three minutester, Song Qiang rushed in, probably running too fast which caused his bald spot to be starkly revealed. N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 dy it?¡± Chen Cang had already grown weary of these rich VIPs, impervious to reason! The only thing that could be dyed 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 dy any further!¡± Chen Gang¡¯s words were unceremonious, leaving Song Qiang as if pped 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 sses stood up, let out a coldugh, ¡°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 Cangforted him: ¡°Big Brother Zhou, you¡¯re about the same age as my parents, and they¡¯re also vigers. 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 themter 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 ce 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 ce, 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 ce was that he felt it vited his medical conscience! Taking a deep breath, even if today was thest day he would stand in this hospital, he would make sure to stand tall! ¡°I¡¯ll administer the anesthetic, just rx¡­¡± 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,ing 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 amotion! ¡°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 inte, 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: If I Were a Doctor! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) 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 exining. 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 rtionship 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 ying with some people in a bar, got into a fight, and identally cut myself.¡± Chen Cang was startled¡­ Liu Rui suddenly asked, ¡°Doctor Chen, my mom is the CEO of apany 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 Ruie 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. N?v(el)B\\jnn And the protagonist of the farce, Liu Rui, had already left; themotion 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 be adept at it. But Chen Cang needed to be put in his ce. 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 wearingb 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 y 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 Cangcks 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 toe in as a contract worker. Song Qiang had some impression of these rted 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 anythinges 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! ¡°Confirm!¡± ps: A new month, let us charge forward, let¡¯s see how far we can go! Guaranteed 3 updates every day, an extra update for every 500 monthly tickets, 3 extra updates for Alliance Hierarch, 1 extra update for Hall Master, 2 extra updates for Sect Leader! A veteran¡¯s respect with five chapters released first! As long as there are enough monthly tickets, I¡¯ll supply in abundance! Chapter 157: A Great Irony (Subscribe please!) 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 withmendations and honors, nor had he received many des, but he had indeed saved many lives. Older generations of medical workers were just like that, quietly benefiting themunity 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, bing 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 ce 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 pirs 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, whoter 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 be 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 variousrge 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 ny 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 be 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 roommenting. 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¡­?¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 179: 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 Transntation,¡± 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,e 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 ck cloth shoes that were torn in several ces, 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 nced 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 ttered, 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 Cangforted, ¡°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 red 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 prated? 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,ughing hopelessly. Upon hearing that, Qin Yue¡¯splexion 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 nce, ¡°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.. Chapter 180: 181: Zhu Yongwangs Heartfelt Wish Mission (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 180: Chapter 181: Zhu Yongwang¡¯s Heartfelt Wish Mission (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chen Cang said, ¡°Go have the nurse check his temperature and blood pressure. Right, ask Lina to bring over the ECG machine, get ready to do an electrocardiogram.¡± Qin Yue stood up and walked toward the outside. Chen Cang closed the door, turned around, and stared at the man, ¡°Were you trying to kill yourself?¡± The man was startled, then chuckled, ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s the point of living? ¡°My wife sold everything we had to pay for my medical treatment, 1 might as well be dead than alive.¡± Chen Cang: ¡°Do you have kids?¡± The mention of kids made the man sigh, ¡°1 have three kids. The eldest is a girl in third grade, the second is also a girl, six years old and not in school yet, and the youngest is a four-year-old boy. They are good kids, but their father is worthless. To pay for my medical expenses, they¡¯ve never worn new clothes since they were little. If I continue to spend money on treatment, the kids won¡¯t just be kept from school, they¡¯ll starve to death. ¡°So 1 found a piece of wire at home and walked a long distance before stabbing it into my heart.¡± Chen Cang nced at the man, ¡°That¡¯s not where the heart is¡­¡±
    The man sighed, ¡°Everything they show on TV is a lie.¡± Chen Cang:¡­ Suddenly, he didn¡¯t know what to say, whether he shouldment the misleading nature of television dramas or be relieved that the misinformation had proven fortunate. It felt like someone who had tried tomit suicide with fake pesticide and failed. The man continued, ¡°I took a train from Lvliang to the capital to see Tiananmen Square. It¡¯s nice, the capital is so beautiful and magnificent. Then I took a train to¡­ Eventually, I arrived at Anyang.¡± ¡°I realized¡­ it¡¯s good to be alive¡­ I don¡¯t want to die anymore, can you save me?¡± ¡°Also, can you help me pull this wire out? 1 can¡¯t stand the difort; my chest has felt terribly constricted these past few days.¡± ¡°I have no money¡­ but I also don¡¯t want to die now, doctor, can you please save me?¡± [Ding! A mission has been triggered: Zhu Yongwang¡¯s Wish. Fulfill Zhu Yongwang¡¯s wish to gain +5 skill points, +1 special lucky bag, and +1 clinical level.] Chen Cang took a deep breath, the task rewards were quite substantial. Chen Cang: ¡°How were you able to get on a train?¡± ¡°1 said I was going to get medical treatment, the conductor was afraid I¡¯d die on the train, so they arranged a sleeper berth for me. I told them I had no money, and they bought the ticket for me for free.¡± By this time, Qin Yue had returned with Chang Lina and several others. Chang Lina: ¡°Doctor Chen, the temperature is 38.8 degrees Celsius, blood pressure is i3O/7ommHg.¡± Chen Cang nodded, this was probably a fever caused by an infection from the wound. ¡°Get an ECG done, I want to see the heart¡¯s condition.¡± Chang Lina nodded and looked at the man cautiously, ¡°Lie down on the bed, I ll do an ECG for you.¡± The man said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m dirty, 1¡¯11 soil the bed.¡± Lina softened, ¡°No worries at all, we¡¯re sending the sheets for washing tomorrow anyway. It¡¯s all good.¡± After the many down, the wire jiggled mischievously, startling Chang Lina. But during the ECG, Chang Lina had some trouble, ¡°Doctor Chen, where should I ce the V2 lead?¡±
    The wire was exactly where the V2 electrode should be. Chen Cang: ¡°Just ce it beside, it won¡¯t affect.¡± The ECG results came out quickly. Normal sinus rhythm, rightward axis deviation, no major problems.
    Chen Cang stood up, took off his own short-sleeve shirt, and handed it to the man, ¡°Put on a shirt,e on, I¡¯ll take you to get an X-ray to see what¡¯s going on with the wire.¡± The man shook his head, ¡°I have no money.¡± Chen Cang: ¡°I¡¯ll pay for you.¡± The statement stunned those around. Had Chen Cang lost his mind? The man¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly stood up: ¡°Okay.¡± The night shift in the radiology department saw that someone hade from the emergency room and hurried out, seeing Chen Cang leading a patient over. ¡°Dr. Chen?¡± Pang Xin and Chen Cang had joined the hospital in the same year and had undergone orientation training together. They got along quite well. Chen Cang said, ¡°We¡¯ve got a special patient, no money for treatment, attempted suicide but didn¡¯t want to die afterward, and now there¡¯s a steel wire sticking out of his chest. Help me see what¡¯s going on.¡± Pang Xin nodded: ¡°Should I develop the X-ray?¡± Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: ¡°Go ahead, I¡¯ll handle the payment. Pang Xin was stunned: ¡°You¡¯re paying?¡± Chen Cang nodded: ¡°He has no money¡­¡± Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but nce at Chen Cang: ¡°Are you out of your mind?
    There are so many patients, can you even manage?¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°A pitiful person, let¡¯s just help out where we can.¡± Unable to convince Chen Cang, Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but suggest, ¡°How about letting him have the X-ray first, and then you take a photo with your phone instead of developing the film? That way you won¡¯t have to spend any money.¡± Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: ¡°That works too! Thanks, Old Pang. Pang Xin shook his head: ¡°Go in, I¡¯ll take a look at what s going on! A few minutester, the imaging results came out. Pang Xin pointed to the picture on theputer and said, ¡°The situation¡­ it¡¯s a bitplicated and rather unique!¡± ¡°Look, this is the pulmonary artery. The steel wire has just passed through it. Because it went through quickly and the wire is quite thin, it might not have caused too much change in a short time¡­ But this is really abnormal, and there¡¯s definitely a notable pneumothorax in the lungs, which isn¡¯t recent. ¡°And¡­ Wait, does the patient also have lung cancer?!¡± Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes! Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, the patient¡¯s situation is special, lung cancer with bone metastasis. He¡¯s got less than half a year, tried tomit suicide but couldn¡¯t find where the heart was, and he missed, piercing the pulmonary artery instead. Then he¡­ took a train trip to the capital city, changed his mind about dying, and now he¡¯s ended up in the emergency room, refusing to leave, insisting I treat him, and iming he has no money.¡± ¡°His medical bills have drained his family¡¯s finances. He has a wife and three kids at home¡­ It¡¯s pitiful, so I thought 1 might as well help if I can.¡± Pang Xin frowned at the images: ¡°There¡¯s no help for it, look at the lungs¡­ There are too many cancerous sites. 1 suspect it¡¯s not just bone metastasis¡­ His life expectancy really isn¡¯t long, how are you going to treat him?¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°Tomorrow when the cardiothoracic surgery department is in, I¡¯ll talk to Director Tao about removing the steel wire first, and then we¡¯ll take it from there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving, thanks Old Pang!¡±
    Pang Xin watched Chen Cang leave, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: ¡°Can you really help everyone? There are so many people, just too many pitiful ones!¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t look back: ¡°Helping one is better than none!¡± Zhu Yongwang saw Chen Cange out: ¡°How did it go?¡± Chen Cang: ¡°What do you mean ¡®how did it go¡¯?¡± Zhu Yongwang: ¡°Is there hope for me?¡± Chen Cang responded indifferently: ¡°As for the steel wire in your chest, I¡¯ll ask cardiothoracic surgery tomorrow, but your lung cancer¡­ it¡¯s difficult to treat. Zhu Yongwang was taken aback: ¡°But this is a major hospital, surely you can treat it. 1 don¡¯t want to die. 1 still want to¡­¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°Take it easy, one step at a time.¡± Zhu Yongwang nodded: ¡°Actually, I brought my ID. 1 lied to you, but I really have no money..¡± Chapter 160 - 161: Fang Yonglin’s Skill Set Chapter 160: Chapter 161: Fang Yonglin¡¯s Skill Set After an hour and forty minutes! The surgery finally concluded sessfully! 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 outughing. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 alreadypleted 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 casepetition, 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 casepetition 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 cane 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 afortable 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 tough 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 havepleted 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 avable? 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 yfully 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 urately 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, ted, 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! Congrattions, 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 urate diagnosis, which in turn leads to better targeted treatment. In the process of diagnosing and treating diseases, the first step is always diagnosis, thenes treatment, and for many diseases, diagnosis is far more important than treatment. Take, for instance, the recent case of hyperventtion syndrome triggered by a young couple¡¯s quarrel; that was a ssic example. [Clinical Interpretation of Physiological and Biochemical Tests: Passive skill, perfect level, description: Can urately 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 ss change mission, hadn¡¯t he? Chapter 182: 183: Unsheathing the Dagger at the End of the Road? (Seeking monthly votes) Chapter 182: Chapter 183: Unsheathing the Dagger at the End of the Road? (Seeking monthly votes) Chen Cang took the initiative to find Zhu Yongwang. ¡°Considering your current situation, we rmend you live with the foreign object.¡± Zhu Yongwang didn¡¯t understand and asked with wide eyes, ¡°Live with a foreign object? What does that mean?¡± Chen Cang patiently exined, ¡°It means we suggest not removing the wire from your body. You know about wars, right? Many people have bullets or fragments of bombs inside them that are not removed and don¡¯t affect their lives. So, this wire won¡¯t affect your life either.¡± ¡°Moreover, even if you underwent surgery, your survival period might be shorter, so¡­ the hospital¡¯s conclusion is that the surgery wouldn¡¯t be of any benefit to you.¡± Zhu Yongwang¡¯s face stiffened in an instant, then he gave a twisted smile, ¡°You mean that I¡¯m about to die anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s removed or not, and removing it would just be a waste of money, is that right?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You understand your own body condition very well. I can only tell you what¡¯s the most beneficial option for you. In fact, we have already done all we can do.¡± At those words, Zhu Yongwang let out a coldugh, ¡°Are you trying to kick me out now?¡± Chen Cang felt helpless. How many times had he been asked to leave? Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡¯m not kicking you out. It¡¯s just that our capabilities are limited. We¡¯ve helped as much as we could. Anything beyond our capacity, we can¡¯t help with, and for that, we can only deeply apologize!¡±
    Zhu Yongwangughed loudly, leaned back against the cab, and took a deep breath! Chen Cang turned to leave. Suddenly, Zhu Yongwang¡¯s eyes turned fierce, his face full of cynical contempt as if revealing a hidden de at the end of a venture! He rushed out of the observation room and ran into the hall! He shouted loudly! ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why did I get sick, why can¡¯t I afford treatment because I¡¯m sick, why am I dressed in tatters while you all dress so well, why do you live in big cities, in apartments, drive cars, eat in restaurants, have medical insurance, have money! Why¡­ if I don¡¯t have money, you won¡¯t treat me, is that it? Do you think I¡¯m easy to bully!¡± ¡°Fine! You won¡¯t treat me, right! I might as well get revenge on society, I¡¯m going to die soon anyway, hahaha¡­¡± The people nearby were chilled to the bone! Everyone looked at the man with a wary expression. Chang Lina was so scared that she hid and said to Qin Yue, ¡°Did you see that? I knew it was going to be like this! I knew it!¡± Chen Cang quickly approached Zhu Yongwang, ¡°I¡¯ve exined it to you clearly. We¡¯ve done as much as we can. Having the surgery might actually shorten your survival!¡± ¡°Besides, we are just ordinary people. We work hard for our food,muting on public transport. We¡¯re no different from you. Please don¡¯t have such thoughts. Think about your child. Would you want your child to be the same?¡± Zhu Yongwang turned around abruptly and stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t blow up the hospital. You¡¯re all good people!¡± Chen Cang hurriedly soothed him, ¡°Zhu Yongwang, please don¡¯t jump to conclusions. Come back to the ward with me, and let¡¯s have a good talk. Rest in the ward for now. I¡¯ll go to Director Zhao and discuss your situation again,municate a bit! How about that?¡± After Chen Cang finished speaking, he said to Qin Yue, ¡°You keep an eye on him.¡± After saying that, he went to find Li Baoshan.
    Li Baoshan saw Chen Cang running over, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Cang exined hurriedly, and the three of them fell silent immediately, each deep in thought! At this moment, Chen Cang took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said seriously, ¡°All directors, I have an idea. First of all, rationally speaking, this is exactly as Director Yang and Director Tao said: he only has less than three months to live. Rather than using substantial resources for such a high-risk operation¡ªwhich might even shorten his life span¡ªit¡¯s true that we shouldn¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°However, this patient might be on the verge of copse. The blows of life have already devastated this young man. He¡¯s not that old, just in his thirties. We need to consider his innermost feelings and mental world. To heal a person is to heal the heart.¡±
    ¡°So, my suggestion is, we should try to save the patient. Whether or not it¡¯s sessful, we should keep him here. This is his only hope in this world, the only warmth he can feel, and perhaps this might be thest scrap of kindness he perceives from society.¡± ¡°As for the money, I¡¯ll try to scrape it together. I¡¯ll advance the funds. I¡¯ll perform the surgery! I can do it! Therefore, I hope all the leaders and directors will give me this chance!¡± Chen Cang had made up his mind to try to save Zhu Yongwang. Spending some money, consider it an investment for a mission, it would not be a loss anyway! But what¡¯s more important is, often you know something is futile, but you must still go through with it! Just like this case, perhaps saving Zhu Yongwang is unnecessary, and the surgery might even bring harm! But, the surgery can save his heart! It can allow him to feel thest bits of warmth in the world, and add a bit of yearning for life as he departs. After speaking, Chen Cang left the office. Leaving the office, Chen Cang went to the observation room to look for Zhu Yongwang, but when he came out, he suddenly discovered the man was gone! Chen Gang¡¯s expression changed immediately, and he ran back to the office where he saw Qin Yue sitting there. His face changed, and he shouted, ¡°How could you not keep an eye on him!¡± Qin Yue was momentarily stunned, her eyes reddening, ¡°me me? Can I be med for this? Can I stop someone whose legs are on his own body?¡± ¡°Moreover, should I just not do anything all morning except follow him around?¡± ¡°Even if he stayed, what could you do? Can you save him? He has already reached this point; what can you do!¡± Chen Cang clenched his teeth and turned to run outside!
    Seeing Chang Lina, ¡°Have you seen Zhu Yongwang?¡± Chang Lina shook her head, ¡°No! I guess he ran away?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not umon for people who can¡¯t afford the fees to flee from the emergency room every day!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop him?¡± Chang Lina chuckled, ¡°Why should I stop him? You¡¯ve seen what he¡¯s like. What if he found me annoying and stabbed me? I don¡¯t lower myself to the level of such people.¡± ¡°Besides¡­ if he doesn¡¯t run, where¡¯s the money for the fees? It¡¯s me the head nurse would scold, not you.¡± Chang Lina had not a shred of fondness for Zhu Yongwang, to be honest! Even disgust! Such a person, truly filled with cynicism, capable of doing anything. She was just a nurse; it was best to keep her distance.. Chapter 183: 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 red at Chen Cang, ¡°None of your business!¡± Qin Yue then headed towards Tian Jie, a bustlingmercial 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 yed 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, andrge 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 pce¡­ 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 hees!¡± 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 winkst 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 disying 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 Yongwangy 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 youe?¡± 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 upst 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 ept this!¡± Qin Yue sighed, ¡°This isn¡¯t for you, it¡¯s for the kids. It¡¯s not easy for them toe 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 vige, 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 nned 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 alsopletely bewildered! Why did Zhu Yongwang run away? Where did he go? What on earth was he nning 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 thest and most difficult days of my life you¡¯ve given me a sense of warmth and hope, and you¡¯ve shown me thest 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 pir. 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 onest 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 yetpletely 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 uncontrobly. ¡°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 me the hospital, they¡¯re all good people. I¡¯ve written the will; donate it to those in need¡­ don¡¯t me 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 be heroes to their children and wives, and blessings to all women, may you find your hero.. Chapter 185: 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¡¯sck of fame. Hmm, the medical school¡¯s global ranking isn¡¯t that strong either, just a mere top 10. There¡¯s nothing particrly 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 ce you shoulde 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 Ennd Journal of Medicine¡­ Chen Cang casually closed the magazine, mmed 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 uneptable. 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, particrly 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 countryst year, and initially she didn¡¯t n 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; aftering 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. Sessful apprenticeship allows for a career change to a special hidden upation. 1 Chen Cang was stunned!
    Holy shit? A hidden task? A hidden upation? Isn¡¯t this the main character¡¯s typical setup? After Guan Wei finished speaking, he sat down opposite Chen Cang, ¡°Actually, I wouldn¡¯t rmend you apply for Meng Xi. It¡¯s her first time mentoring, so she definitelycks 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 highlypetent, 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 tomunicate.¡± 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 upation? 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 be 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 hade 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 andziness. 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 rmend 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 hime 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? ps: A postgraduate student is akin to a research monk; supervisors favor boys for their practicality and capability, for they do more work and aren¡¯t afraid of getting tired. Seven updates for today, I will organize the outline this afternoon, thank you- Chapter 164 - 165:1 Finished the Night Shift, Sorry (Please Vote for Monthly Ticket) Chapter 164: Chapter 165:1 Finished the Night Shift, Sorry (Please Vote for Monthly Ticket) Chen Cang hadn¡¯t expected that Song Qiang was such a talented person, taking revenge without even waiting for the night to pass; just as he was about to leave, this move was made! Originally, Chen Cang was preparing to go back after a night shift when Qin Yue, that little bootlicker, came to deliver medicine, and while resting for a while, he heard the news. The matter of Chen Cang being disciplined had spread throughout the entire emergency department in no time! Chen Cang stood up and walked out, very curious about the sort of punishment Song Qiang had devised for him. Right by the entrance to the emergency department, on the wall to the right, was the notice board, which usually saw quite a bit of foot traffic, as people would look it over whether they had business to do or not. Since it was work hours, there weren¡¯t many people around, Chen Cang squeezed in for a closer look, and it read, ¡°In view of Comrade Chen Cang¡¯s unauthorized absence from his post during the night shift on August 25, 2019, causing loss to the emergency department and the reputation of our hospital¡­ In order to strengthen the construction of medical ethics and enforce strictbor discipline, for Comrade Chen Cang¡¯s failure toply with organizational arrangements, ckness at work, andck of organization and discipline, ording to the regtions of our hospital (Document No. 18), a notice of criticism and warning is given to Comrade Chen Cang, along with a deduction of his full attendance bonus and performance allowance for August, as a public notice!¡± ¡°We hope that all staff members will take this as a warning and consciously abide bybor discipline, and uphold good professional ethics and working style.¡± After reading it, not only was Chen Cang not angry, but he was amused by Song Qiang! If you hadn¡¯t mentioned my absence, perhaps the director and the others wouldn¡¯t even recall if they had forgotten to give little Chen some reward, after all, he did save our dear former director Fang Yonglin. Now, by openly stating his absence, aren¡¯t you reminding Director Qin and the others? What was Chen Cang doing after he left his postst night? After reading the notice, Chen Cang casually smiled and returned to the office, sitting next to Qin Yue. Qin Yue sniffed, ¡°It stinks to death!¡± Chen Cang said with a smile, ¡°Was Yuan Fan here after you camest night?¡± Qin Yue might have said it stank, but he whispered in Chen Cang¡¯s ear, ¡°Xiaolin told me that Song Qiang came to the departmentst night, and then Yuan Fan was also here¡­¡± After hearing this, Chen Cang understood what had happened. Luckily Qin Yue hadest night, if Yuan Fan had taken over the shift, who knows what disasters could have happened. Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look at Yuan Fan with mock seriousness. Yuan Fan was already feeling somewhat uneasy, after all, a heart full of guiltes with doing bad things¡­ When Yuan Fan saw Chen Cang staring at him, he couldn¡¯t help but feel even guiltier,forting Chen Cang, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, go up and exin things to Director Songter, and it will be all right. It doesn¡¯t matter if they deduct some bonus, just don¡¯t let it affect your record and future eligibility for promotion. After all, you¡¯re good with the scalpel, you¡¯re not short of that little bonus.¡± Wang Yong, hearing this, became unhappy, ¡°Crap, that Song character just deducts when he wants to! And since when are we not short on money? We¡¯ve worked so hard doing so many surgeries, dealt with so much work, and managed so many patients. To have everything canceled with a single word!¡± Chen Bingsheng walked in with a grim expression, ¡°This Song Qiang is taking himself too seriously, making a mountain out of a molehill over such a trivial issue. Doesn¡¯t he have a bit of the director¡¯s dignity? Don¡¯t worry, Chen. I¡¯ll go ask around for you!¡± After speaking, Chen Bingsheng got ready to leave for the medical affairs department without further ado, but Chen Cang hurried to pull him back. ¡°It¡¯s alright, really, no worries.¡± Chen Bingsheng frowned, ¡°Flow can there be no worries? Your promotion was already difficult, and with this, it¡¯s just giving others something to talk about! Are you nning to stay a resident doctor forever?!¡± Yuan Fan didn¡¯t know why, but when he heard this, he felt quite pleased. You think you¡¯re so amazing? Keep it up then! Chen Cang said, ¡°Boss, today¡¯s Wednesday, there¡¯s a hospital meeting, all the leaders have gone to the meeting, there¡¯s nobody there even if you go now!¡± Chen Bingsheng was silent for a while, then said to Chen Cang, ¡°Come out for a second.¡± Taking Chen Cang to the duty room, Chen Bingsheng asked, ¡°What did you do to offend Song Qiang? He¡¯s a director after all; he wouldn¡¯t target you, a junior doctor, over such a trifle, would he?¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Last night, someone¡­¡± Chen Cang recounted everything that happenedst night, and after he had finished speaking, Chen Bingsheng finally understood the situation. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave this matter for now, and I¡¯ll look for himter. I have surgery to perform, you should go back and rest early, a night shift is quite exhausting.¡± Having said this, Chen Bingsheng stood up and left. Chen Cang thought it over and agreed, finding no use in staying at the hospital, he decided to go back and rest. As for the discipline of Song Qiang, Qin Xiaoyuan should give me a satisfactory exnation, after all, 1 was performing surgery for your teacher. If I was disciplined because of this, I, Chen Cang, would not ept it¡­ Chen Cang went to the changing room, took off his clothes, grabbed the beloved ointment from the little bootlicker, and clocked out serenely. He had just stepped out when his phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello, is this Chen Cang?¡± a sweet female voice inquired, causing Chen Cang to pause momentarily. Could it be that a girl other than Qin Yue was calling me on her own initiative? Chen Cang hastily nodded and cleared his throat with a cough, ¡°Yes, it is!¡± The woman¡¯s voice hesitated for a moment, ¡°This is the Medical Affairs Office, Section Chief Song is asking you toe to the office.¡± Chen Cang was stunned, ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± The woman hesitated, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not quite sure, Section Chief Song will be back soon, and he¡¯s asked for you toe up.¡± Chen Cang uttered a sound of acknowledgment, ¡°I just finished a night shift, I¡¯m quite sleepy and need to rest, please tell Section Chief Song about this.¡± After saying so, Chen Cang hung up the phone. Now that the discipline has been meted out, why should I bother with him? Besides, it is my rest time. What right does a head of the Medical Affairs Department have to take it up? Thinking this, Chen Cang left to go off work, ready to go back to catch up on some sleep. Indeed,st night was somewhat exhausting¡ªa surgery thatsted more than an hour, requiring high concentration, really drains your vital energy. Sometimes, coincidences ur; as Chen Cang was leaving, he saw Song Qianging back from the administration building to the Medical Affairs Office. Upon seeing Song Qiang, Chen Cang yawned and pretended not to notice, quickly walking away. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om This left Song Qiang in astonishment! Song Qiang assumed that Chen Cang hade looking for him and, not wanting to apologize in front of so many people, ignored Chen Cang and continued towards the elevator, thinking vindictively, Let¡¯s see how long you can keep acting smug! In the meantime, Song Qiang entered the office. ¡°Director, I called Chen Cang¡­¡± Wang Yihan stood up and reported as soon as she saw Song Qiang enter. Song Qiang nodded, ¡°Mhm, it¡¯s fine as long as he¡¯s been informed.¡± Wang Yihan couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°But, Chen Cang said he had finished a night shift and needed rest¡­ He¡¯s not in the hospital.¡± Upon hearing this, Song Qiang was taken aback and almost mmed the table in anger! ¡°Utterwlessness,plete disregard for authority! I just saw him at the hospital, and he says he¡¯s not here, does he have any respect for the Medical Affairs Office at all?¡± When Wang Yihan heard this, she was also taken aback. Just who on earth is this Chen Cang¡­ Chapter 165 - 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,e 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 workedst night and I¡¯m utterly exhausted today. How about tomorrow? I¡¯lle 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, andcks medical ethics¡­ ordingly, 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 neer 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 ce! 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 nced 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 thest, 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 fromst 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 fromst night. Without dy, Du Jiaxi asked, ¡°Hello youngdy, I¡¯m Du Jiaxi, the patient who came in for stitchesst night at our emergency department.¡± Nurse Lin smiled: ¡°Uh-huh, good evening sir, is there anything I can help you with?¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn Du Jiaxi nodded: ¡°Youngdy, I want to ask you about something, that Dr. Chen fromst 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 thest to leave. He was very conscientious and took meticulous care of the patients. Like you sawst 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¡¯tply, and so today early in the morning, the criticism was publicly posted!¡± Hearing this, Du Jiaxi¡¯s heart sank. Doctors with responsibility andpassion are bing 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: ¡°Youngdy, 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 - 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 bing 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 cancetion 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,wless 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 footst 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¡­¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 y 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 pped 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¡¯syout, 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 andpelling¡ªone of the most forceful of the nies! 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 casuallyughed 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 upied. 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 backte at night from surgeries. On Saturdays and Sundays, he was at Zhang Zhixin¡¯s ce, 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 d 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 thetest 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 wereid 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 ck-and-white photo and mboyant, 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 nce! 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 mmed 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 rmed! Chapter 167 - 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 urred, 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 publishedst 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 escte 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,e 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 feltpletely 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 beforest. 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, amotion suddenly broke outter, 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 ce? 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 exnation today!¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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,e 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,e over.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Alright, Director Zhang, I¡¯ming over immediately!¡± Zhang Youfu nodded again, ¡°He¡¯s in bed 12, you cane in directly when you arrive.¡± Chen Cang hung up the phone, greeted Wang Yong, and got up to head towards General Surgery. ¡­ (That walk took 12 hours¡­ 1 know what you all are thinking¡­ this is definitely not an iplete excerpt¡­) ps: Thanks to ¡°Lonesome Official Awaiting Return¡± and ¡°o?o¡± for the generous rewards, thank you both for your strong support!

Li Jianwei saw Song Qiang enter, and immediately started cursing him! ¡°Song Qiang! Get over here, what is this all about?¡± Li Jianwei threw the newspaper at him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Song Qiang¡¯s face turned from pale to purple, struggling to catch his breath. Already seething with anger, he was now infuriated by being scolded and pointed at by Li Jianwei! ¡°Isn¡¯t this just a notice of reprimand? Chen Cang left his post during working hours. As the head of the medical department, can¡¯t I discipline him?¡± said Song Qiang, his neck stiff with defiance. ¡°These media businesses just can¡¯t wait for us to have an incident, all for the sake of getting eyeballs. This Anyang Daily News is no better, just as dirty!¡± Li Jianwei was stunned to see Song Qiang talking back so forcefully. He walked over and red at him, ¡°Now you think you¡¯re in the right? Let me ask you, what time do youe to work every day? What time is stipted by our hospital? Every day we start at eight o¡¯clock, and as the head of the medical department, when have you ever led by example!¡± ¡°For a single hour of absence, look at your punishment: a recorded offense, disqualification from performance awards, and even interference in the future professional title evaluations. Are you saying that if it were allowed, you¡¯d take a knife to Chen Cang given the chance!¡± Li Jianwei¡¯s words were piercingly unpleasant to Song Qiang¡¯s ears! ¡°Chen Cang refuses to acknowledge his mistakes. I gave him a chance after issuing the first announcement. All he had to do wase up, apologize, make a statement, and admit he was wrong. It¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t give him the opportunity! But what did Chen Cang say? He said he needed to rest after working the night shift! Director Li, as a leader, what would you do if someone under you stubbornly refused to work properly?¡± ¡°There are already some employees in our hospital who aren¡¯t serious about their work. I¡¯m making an example of Chen Cang to warn others!¡± Li Jianwei was almost amused by his anger! ¡°You hadn¡¯t ¡®killed any chickens¡¯ before, and you didn¡¯t ¡®kill any chickens¡¯ after, but you choose to do so just when Chen Cang ps you in the face, right?¡± ¡°Your exnations mean nothing to me, look at what the newspaper says, alleging our Provincial Second Hospital abuses power and tarnishes the brand! A hospital reputation we¡¯ve built up over decades, how dare you sully it!¡± ¡°Look at what the newspaper¡¯s written!¡± Li Jianwei, furious, picked up the newspaper, ¡°See this? The head of the medical department, cutting in line, making the idea that everyone is equal before life aplete joke!¡± ¡°Song Qiang, it¡¯s a shame you¡¯re the head of the medical department. Seems like all these years have been a waste. I¡¯m telling you, you solve this problem today or I¡¯ll solve it for you!¡± After saying this, Li Jianwei mmed the table and pointed angrily at Song Qiang¡¯s nose. At a loss for words, Song Qiang sighed. He truly had been rash in his actions, driven to distraction by his anger at Chen Cang. Fueled additionally by the brainless instigations of Yuan Fan. Thinking of this, Song Qiang was beside himself with anger! But it was toote. Song Qiang stood up and looked at Li Jianwei, ¡°Director Li, I¡¯ll handle this matter; there¡¯s no need to worry.¡± After speaking, Song Qiang stood up to leave. Li Jianwei also sighed. Although Song Qiang may not have other abilities, he was generally adept at handling disputes. Since the incident had already urred, criticism was meaningless. Solving the problem was what mattered most. Just as Song Qiang was about to leave, Li Jianwei suddenly called out to him! ¡°Song Qiang, wait.¡± Song Qiang turned around, ¡°Director Li, do you have any further instructions?¡± Li Jianwei said indifferently, ¡°Do you know what Chen Cang did that night?¡± Song Qiang shook his head. Li Jianwei said, ¡°That night, he went to the operating room and saved someone ¡ªthe old Director Fang Yonglin!¡± Upon hearing this, Song Qiang¡¯s body trembled. Chen Cang approached the door to the general surgery department and knocked softly. ¡°Come in.¡± An elderly voice called out, and Chen Cang pushed the door open, closing it gently behind him. ¡°Good to see you, Mr. Fang,¡± Chen Cang walked to the window, bowed slightly as a sign of respect. Fang Yonglin put down the newspaper in his hand, ¡°So you are Chen, right?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, teacher, my name is Chen Cang.¡± Fang Yonglin breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°Come, sit here.¡± After Fang Yonglin¡¯s surgery and with the jaundice treatment, hisplexion had significantly improved. ¡°Speaking of which, I owe my life to you this time, I need to thankyou,¡± Fang Yonglin sat up, looking at Chen Cang with a softer gaze. Chen Cang hastily replied, ¡°Saving lives and healing the wounded is our sacred duty. I have no idea how many lives Teacher Fang has saved in his lifetime, I merely did what was expected in my role.¡± Fang Yonglin cracked a rare smile, ¡°Well, this is the first time I¡¯ve met you, but I just read about you in the newspaper, and you know, in front of life, everyone is equal, you did very well. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen Du Jiaxi give such praise to someone.¡± Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Newspaper? What do you mean? Who is¡­ Du Jiaxi?¡± Fang Yonglin handed the newspaper over to him, ¡°Have a look.¡± After carefully reading it, Chen Cang was dumbfounded! He never imagined that yesterday¡¯s incident would make it into the newspapers! And to receive such high praise for himself. At the thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but blush. But to tell the truth, even if there were a next time, Chen Cang would do the same. Watching Chen Cang, Fang Yonglin said, ¡°Chen, the reason I wanted to see you is not to say anything else but to tell you, as a doctor, you should act thus. Our job is to treat diseases and save lives, help the dying and heal the injured. The ancients said it well, ¡®A man who is not close to virtue cannot be a doctor.¡¯ We may not aspire to much, but whatever we do, we should always listen to our conscience, and never forget the original intention of bing a doctor.¡± With that, Fang Yonglin sighed, ¡°Society has reached such a state now. I¡¯ve lived almost ny years and have seen many changes. In fact, whether you saved me, an old man, or not, I¡¯ve lived long enough. Today, I just happened to see you and wanted to chat more!¡± Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°You must be joking, Teacher Fang, you are a treasured asset of the Provincial Second Hospital. Your experience and your character are something you need to pass on to others.¡± Fang Yonglin chuckled with a hehe, his face covered in age spots and when he smiled, his wrinkles blurred his eyes, ¡°Alright, alright, Chen, be a good doctor, a truly good doctor! The new generation needs people like you.¡± ¡°However long 1 live, I¡¯ll support you. Don¡¯t worry, just like the day before yesterday, when you encounter something, don¡¯t be afraid. I, Fang Yonglin, will back you up!¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°All right, teacher!¡± [Ding! Fang Yonglin¡¯s favorability +50!] [Ding! You have triggered the long-term quest of the top-level NPC, Fang Yonglin: Medical Ethical Heart Test. Your every act of kindness will earn skill points bonuses! For detailed amounts and analysis, please keep it up, be a good doctor, a truly good doctor!] Chen Cang was taken aback! He hadn¡¯t expected that meeting with the old dean Fang would bring such rewards! Chapter 191: 192: Its Quite Nice to Be a Salted Fish That Can Win by Lying Down (Please Subscribe!) Chapter 191: Chapter 192: It¡¯s Quite Nice to Be a Salted Fish That Can Win by Lying Down (Please Subscribe!) Zhang Zhixin heard that Chen Cang had performed a bear augmentation surgery and almost exploded with anger! He picked up the phone and called Chen Cang right away! Unfortunately, no one answered! This made Zhang Zhixin panic, this rascal was really getting out of hand, he had only learned for a few days and dared to perform bear augmentation surgery! You¡¯d be lucky you haven¡¯t seen me perform general surgery, otherwise you¡¯d be out of this world! After waiting impatiently until the end of the workday, Zhang Zhixin hurriedly drove back to the aesthetic medicine hospital and rushed upstairs with urgency. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t returned yet and was sitting in his office, thoughtfully reading a paper by Qin Yue published in ¡°Liver Transntation¡±. When should he take the time to activate Qian Liang¡¯s Master¡¯s Mandate? Zhang Zhixin burst in, panting and said, ¡°Chen Cang! You little¡­ Why did you go and do a bear augmentation surgery on your own! And for Fu Yufang¡¯s sister at that! You really are¡­¡± Chen Cang saw Zhang Zhixin leaning against the door, out of breath and struggling to speak smoothly.
    He sighed, ¡°Boss Zhang, aren¡¯t youfortable sitting at home and collecting money as a boss? You even came all this way!¡± Zhang Zhixin¡¯s eyelid twitched uncontrobly, being with Chen Cang was truly an exercise in patience. ¡°If I didn¡¯te over, you might have torn the aesthetic hospital down¡­¡± ¡°Do you know how to perform breast augmentation surgery?! Big brother, my lord, can you please take it easy from now on?¡± Before Zhang Zhixin finished speaking, Fu Yufang suddenly pushed the door and entered. Fu Yufang saw the two seemed to be in the midst of an intense argument and gave an awkward smile, ¡°Am I interrupting something?¡± Zhang Zhixin saw that it was the wealthy Mrs. Fu and immediately smiled, ¡°No, no, just an academic discussion!¡± Fu Yufang gave a slight smile, ¡°It¡¯s good to be educated. My husband Guo is all about money all day long, always talking about buying this and that, it¡¯s driving me nuts!¡± Zhang Zhixin was stunned, I too want to talk about money, but¡­ I need to have money first! Chen Cang suddenly realized why they call someone a poor schr, they¡¯re all so poor, how can they not be bitter? Even if you don¡¯t want to be bitter, faced with this kind of ostentatious wealth unting, could you not be? Zhang Zhixinughed, ¡°Just a casual chat, so¡­ Miss Fu, you¡¯re here for¡­?¡± Fu Yufang hurriedly pulled out a card from her bag and said embarrassedly, ¡°Dr. Chen, let¡¯s settle the surgery fee first, we¡¯re old friends now, and we trust Dr. Chen. And besides, we¡¯ll have more interaction in the future.¡± After Chen Cang left earlier, Fu Yufang and Fu Yn had a brief chat. Fu Yufang still felt it was more appropriate to pay Chen Cang first, after all, the surgery was already done, and as for the aftermath, they could deal with the consequences if there were anyter, one thing at a time. One million is not a small amount, but it¡¯s not too much either. Once she undergoes the bear enhancement surgery, totaling two million, it¡¯s like buying a new car for her husband. After all, the car also costs two million. Thinking about it, Fu Yufang¡¯s face blushed. Plus, she was nning to undergo the procedure herself soon, to leave a good impression on Chen Cang. Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Sister Fu, it¡¯s all the same.¡± Fu Yufang also smiled, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve been working hard for so long, and the surgery fee is definitely what it should be. Besides, I¡¯m sure there¡¯s no problem¡ªI just checked, and it¡¯s really beautiful! Even I, as a woman, was tempted for a long time, so in this regard, one million is truly not expensive! Honestly, it¡¯s worth it!¡±
    Zhang Zhixin was stunned, unable to interject in their conversation. Wait a second¡­ What one million? Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt dumbfounded!
    What thing costs one million? Zhang Zhixin suddenly realized, Chen Cang¡­ you¡­ one million for a breast augmentation surgery? Why don¡¯t you shoot for the stars! Damn it! Chen Cang, you must be thinking I¡¯ve had too smooth a ride recently, not enough trouble, right? If something goes wrong, how much will it cost topensate? Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin felt his health deteriorating even further. Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Wait, Miss Fu, how much is this? One million? Could there be some misunderstanding?¡± Fu Yufang was momentarily startled, then quickly shook her head, ¡°No, I think the price is quite fair. You get what you pay for, and I think Dr. Chen¡¯s skills are worth one million!¡± ¡°Just like facial stic surgery, I did spend 400,000 on mine, not cheap, but it¡¯s miles different from those Inte celebrity faces on the streets. When my mother-inw came back, she didn¡¯t scold me but instead praised how well I maintain myself!¡± ¡°So, you get what you pay for, Dr. Chen¡¯s one million is not expensive at all!¡± Zhang Zhixin forced himself to calm down, realizing he truly had a generational gap in the concept of money with the wealthy Mrs. Fu! Maybe¡­ perhaps¡­ I underestimated the value of my own work?
    Or is my self-awareness not clear enough? Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin felt he needed to learn from Chen Cang. How on earth can you please a wealthy woman, so that she gleefully hands over her money to you! Combining these experiences¡­ Chen Cang must be well-versed in this art. Seeing Fu Yufang so satisfied, Zhang Zhixin finally felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. During their conversation, Fu Yufang said, ¡°Doctor Chen, let¡¯s go settle the bill.¡± In a state of bewilderment, Zhang Zhixin watched as Chen Cang went with Fu Yufang to take care of the payment. Afterward, Chen Cang gave some instructions on matters Fu Yn needed to pay attention to. Once Fu Yufang had left, Zhang Zhixin immediately pulled Chen Cang aside, ¡°Do you really know how to perform breast augmentation surgery?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I couldn¡¯t possibly cause trouble for Boss Zhang here, could I?¡± Zhang Zhixin was somewhat baffled, ¡°That¡¯s not right, you haven¡¯t done it on your own, have you? Although¡­ you have been learning with me for a while, right? You¡¯ve done no more than three or five cases altogether, how did you learn?¡± Chen Cang pondered for a moment, ¡°I think it must be because Boss Zhang teaches well, and I learn quickly.¡± With the statement that he taught well, Zhang Zhixin waspletely lost for words.
    Although it sounded pleasing, something felt off. Do I have a clue about my own level of expertise? In any case, as long as there were noplications, that was fine, but he would need to checkter how Chen Cang managed to charm one million out of the procedure! Back in his office, Zhang Zhixin was still puzzled, so he leaned in eagerly, ¡°Chen, you have to teach me!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What?¡± Zhang Zhixin gave a fawning smile, ¡°Stop pretending, just tell me, how did you do it? 100 million for a breast job, my goodness, that¡¯s more than I make from ten! Did I used to charge too little?¡± Chen Cang gave a slight smile, ¡°The surgery fee is 10 million, the rest, 90 million, is mine, so don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Zhang Zhixin nodded eagerly, ¡°Yes, yes, keeping business and personal separate, I understand that, but¡­ you must teach me, how to deal with wealthy women? I feel I¡¯mcking in that area!¡± Chen Cang looked at him stunned for a moment before speaking earnestly, ¡°Boss Zhang, that¡¯s not right. We make our living with skills, not by deceiving people.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll understand why I charge 150,000 when you see Fu Yn¡¯s results. Oh, and here¡¯s the photo from before the surgery, go take a look.¡± Zhang Zhixin, hearing this, took the photo and had a look, hmm, a ssic case of hypomastia, and rather a severe one. Even with cosmetic treatment, it would be challenging¡­ Moreover¡­ even with surgery, the results wouldn¡¯t be very noticeable. After some thought, he decided to go up and see Fu Yn for himself. After knocking and entering, Zhang Zhixin nodded to exin his visit, ¡°I was at the hospital today, didn¡¯t manage toe over, this¡­ Yn, let me see how you¡¯re doing.¡±
    Fu Yn nodded, unashamed, slowly unfastening the dressing on her chest. To be honest, even for Zhang Zhixin, who was experienced and specialized in this field, he was taken aback upon seeing Fu Yn¡¯s results! So beautiful! So exquisite! So natural and delicate. Although it was right after surgery, this kind of naturally perfect look certainly wasn¡¯t something the average person could achieve. And the symmetry of both sides, the handling of details, the steadiness of the position, the proportioning of the design¡­ The more Zhang Zhixin looked, the more amazed he was, the more he felt awed and humbled! ¡­ As he left, Zhang Zhixin sighed deeply. He finally understood why Chen Cang dared to charge a million for the surgery. Zhang Zhixin was a professional himself, and well aware of the difficulties of surgery. To achieve what Chen Cang managed, you¡¯d need the experience of thousands of surgeries; otherwise, you were basically dreaming! With such surgical oues, he would also dare to charge a million if it were his own work. But the crux of the matter was that he himself couldn¡¯t produce such results for a million-dor makeover. That was the most important point. This was the difference! Reflecting on this, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but sigh, beginning to doubt his life choices. Both just humans, both surgeons by training, yet why is there such a vast gap between people? However, this self-doubt was quickly dispelled after Chen Cang treated him to several skewers of kidneys, chives, and oysters. Actually, following Chen Cang and being a salted fish wasn¡¯t so bad¡­ ¡°Ah! Boss, bring another two tes of kidneys!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 170 - 171: Saving the Child! (7th Update - Request for Monthly Votes) 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 nced 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 ack of effectivemunication 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 nced at Chen Cang, ming 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 toplete 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 sessful 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 ns! In thest 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¡¯te 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. Uponpletion, 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 inmmation, 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 wouldplicate 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¡¯tst 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..¡± Chapter 171 - 172: Shi Qi is good for nothing (Eight updates - Vote for monthly tickets!) Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Shi Qi is good for nothing (Eight updates ¨C Vote for monthly tickets!) Children, out of ignorance and curiosity, often y with small objects and end up sticking them into their noses or mouths, sometimes blocking their esophagus or airway. If it ends up in the esophagus, it¡¯s still somewhat manageable, but if it enters the airway, things often be serious. Clearly, this child was unlucky. Xiao He started the machine, got ready, picked up the bronchoscope, and slowly entered the airway. Soon, an image appeared on the screen. A piece of rubber, about the size of the pad of a little finger, was stuck deep in the airway! Chen Cang and Xiao He couldn¡¯t help but frown! Although it wasn¡¯tpletely blocking the airway, if it went any further, that would be trouble¡­ Chen Cang, somewhat worried, cautiously asked, ¡°How is it, Director, can it be removed?¡± Xiao He shook his head: ¡°This position is tricky to work with, it¡¯s a bit difficult, but I¡¯ll try¡­¡± ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll have to open the chest!¡± Thoracotomy for a bronchial cut isn¡¯t considered major surgery, just a level-one procedure in thoracic surgery. But even as a level-one, it carries many risks since the trachea is situated in a delicate area surrounded by organs that are easily damaged. A slight misstep can easily lead to numerousplications. Due to the limited capabilities of the surgeons, postoperative bleeding, pneumothorax, and even sudden respiratory arrest and otherplex issues often ur. It would be best if the rubber could be removed under bronchoscopic guidance¡­ Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but pray a bit more¡­ Xiao He, serious and focused, began to carefully pick up the bronchoscope forceps, steadily inching closer, trying to grab the obstruction. Regrettably, at that moment, the breathing became somewhat rapid, and the respiratory muscles even nearly induced a spasm. Trouble! Xiao He¡¯s brow suddenly furrowed with urgency, knowing there weren¡¯t many chances to extract it¡ªonly this one. If an attempt with the endoscopic forceps failed, there was a risk of suffocation! Even the nurse standing by began to feel nervous. Chen Cang watched Xiao He¡¯s procedure with cautious eyes. This type of endoscopic surgery requires a strong sense of spatial awareness from the surgeon. The bronchus is already narrow, so the procedure is very delicate! In Xiao He¡¯s hands, the bronchial forceps were like fingers, but¡­ they just couldn¡¯t extract it, and sometimes, even though it was grasped, the rubber was lodged inside the respiratory muscle and couldn¡¯t be removed. Moreover¡­ during thest attempt, the angle of the rubber had changed, and this angle was already dangerous¡­ If it couldn¡¯t be sessfully extracted next time, it could lead to suffocation, right? With this thought, Xiao He¡¯s face changed! He hurriedly removed the bronchoscope and solemnly looked at Chen Cang. His eyes were serious: ¡°No good! Can¡¯t get it out. If we try again, there might be a risk of suffocation. The current angle is tooplex, we can¡¯t mess with it anymore!¡± After saying that, Xiao He looked at Chen Cang: ¡°Call thoracic surgery right away, prepare for surgery, otherwise¡­ if we dy any longer, the child is going to be in trouble.¡± ¡°Transferring hospitals is definitely out of the question now, so prepare for surgery right here in the endoscopy room!¡± Xiao He was very decisive, bluntlyying out the n to Chen Cang. ¡°If we carry the child out, not to mention other issues, just this condition alone, she won¡¯tst much longer!¡± Chen Cang lowered his head and noticed the girl¡¯s lips were turning a little purple, her breathing was weak, she tried to catch her breath, but then came a round of violent coughing¡­ At that moment, the young nurse suddenly said, ¡°Director¡­ thoracic surgery has been disbanded.¡± Upon hearing this, Xiao He pped his forehead, suddenly recalling! Damn, thoracic surgery really is crap! ¡°Call Shi Qi, let hime down. Just say there¡¯s a surgery, a tracheotomy, it¡¯s not a major procedure, Shi Qi should know how to do it, right?¡± Xiao He¡¯s remark about Shi Qi probably knowing how¡­ was actually meant more for himself¡­ Who knew if Shi Qi knew how to perform it! Thoracic surgery had been established for three years, but the operations were basically all for lung cancer; they rarely performed minor surgeries. Thoracic surgery should be an emergency department, but Shi Qi had managed to turn it into apletely useless section. The Oncology Department of the Provincial Second Hospital is the strongest department, with four wards in internal medicine, 300 beds, and a multitude of patients. It is also a national key department. That¡¯s why Qin Xiaoyuan agreed to Shi Qi¡¯s proposal to establish a thoracic surgery department. After all, lung cancer is the mostmon tumor, and the creation of the thoracic surgery department was to help with the development of the Provincial Second Hospital. You should know, with the support of such a behemoth like the Oncology Department of the Provincial Second Hospital, the thoracic surgery department is hardly short of patients! However, Shi Qi is also quite a character, capably turning such a sure-win department into a waste! It¡¯s nothing short of a miracle! The call was quickly connected. Xiao He picked up the phone, ¡°Shi Qi, this is Xiao He.¡± As soon as Shi Qi heard this, he hurriedly asked with augh, ¡°Director Xiao, what¡¯s happening?¡± Xiao He was in no mood for small talk, ¡°Right now in the endoscopy room, there¡¯s a child, about three years old, with a foreign object in the airway. I just tried to remove it with a bronchoscope forceps, but I couldn¡¯t manage it. Now¡­ the situation is quite critical; you need toe down quickly. We need to make an incision to remove the foreign object!¡± Shi Qi¡¯s face changed! I study breast cancer, how the hell are you asking me to perform this surgery? 1 wouldn¡¯t know how! In fact, although Shi Qi doesn¡¯t know how, Li Shijian might, even if examples of airway foreign body removal via tracheotomy are too rare! But- Li Shijian had resigned. Upon hearing these words, Shi Qi hurriedly made excuses, ¡°Director Xiao, I¡¯m¡­ not in the hospital right now, I can¡¯t make it over in a short time!¡± Xiao He¡¯s face turned grim! This is bad, Shi Qi isn¡¯t even in the hospital. Then over the phone came, ¡°Director Shi, have you changed the discharge order for bed 23?¡± With a single sentence, Xiao He snorted coldly! Cowardly, shrinking back at the first sign of trouble, with no real skill or knowledge, an absolute waste! It seems that the hospital¡¯s assessment of Shi Qi is not wrong at all! Determinedly hanging up the phone, Xiao He frowned. What to do? Should he just watch the child get into trouble? Turning to Chen Cang, ¡°Xiao Chen, call Director Li.¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°No need, Director Li is probably in surgery right now. I¡¯ll do it myself, Xiao He, push the child into the treatment room. Get a nurse and prepare the instruments.¡± Xiao He was taken aback, ¡°Can¡­ can you do it?¡± Chen Cang nodded! Even if I can¡¯t, I have to! Chen Cang was relieved, thank goodness he had switched careers¡­ otherwise, in this situation, it really wouldn¡¯t have been good. He spent 1 skill point to learn [Tracheotomy]; Then he spent another 2 points to upgrade [Tracheotomy] to an intermediate level. Chen Cang figured that should be about right? Xiao He did not know much about Chen Cang, but seeing his certainty, he nodded to the nurse beside him. ¡°Xiao Yang, go assist Doctor Chen in preparing the instruments, and call Xiao Xu in to help.¡± The endoscopy room may be a diagnostic department, but it¡¯s often necessary to carry out some procedures, so all the necessary instruments are avable. Besides, a tracheotomy doesn¡¯t require too many things! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After spending a few minutes, Xiao He followed Chen Cang into the treatment room to start preparing for surgery! ps: Well, one can foresee that the surgery will start in 12 hours¡­ This child has been struggling for twelve hours, will they survive¡­ Dear readers, have sympathy, I didn¡¯t mean to leave a cliffhanger, there won¡¯t be more suspense if there is any more tearing¡­ ps: Thanks to Alliance Hierarch Stalwart of the World_Xiao Yao Guest_Honorable Brother for the rewards! Three extra chapters! (Tomorrow) Chapter 172 - 173: Repentance is the Most Useless Apology (Vote for Monthly Tickets-) Chapter 172: Chapter 173: Repentance is the Most Useless Apology (Vote for Monthly Tickets-) Generally speaking, for foreign body airway obstruction, the mostmonly used method is the Heimlich maneuver. The principle is to use an impact on the abdominal area, beneath the diaphragm¡¯s soft tissues. The sudden impact creates an upward pressure,pressing the lower part of the lungs to drive the remaining air to form a flow. This impactful and directional airflow can dislodge the object blocking the throat and save the person¡¯s life. However, the Heimlich maneuver also has a high risk ofplications and is not very effective. The little girl¡¯s father was clearly not proficient in this operation. By the time she was brought to the hospital, the little girl had already lost consciousness; at such a critical juncture, the Heimlich maneuver is not the most effective measure. In the hospital, the choice of bronchoscopy and tracheotomy is much more appropriate than the Heimlich maneuver. If Chen Cang were outside, in the courtyard facing such a patient, he would definitely use the Heimlich maneuver for emergency aid. But if the patient¡¯s breath and heartbeat stopped, at this time, one should not hit the patient¡¯s back but should contact the hospital promptly. The endoscopy room¡¯s treatment room facility at the Second Provincial Hospital is highly equipped. Although it cannot bepared with the operating room, it is sufficient for conducting a tracheotomy. However, since it is a surgery, no matter the size, one must sign a bunch of paperwork with family members including informed consent forms and surgery consent forms. Although the situation is urgent, Chen Cang must also attend to these matters. Don¡¯t think these things are dispensable. Since it¡¯s called surgery, it means there is a certain level of risk and limitations; nothing is absolutely foolproof. Chen Cang exited the door of the endoscopy room and saw a man and a woman arguing! To be precise, a woman dressed in what seemed like a bank professional suit stood there, with tears streaming down her face, pointing at a man sitting on a chair. ¡°Xu Liang, what can you, a grown man, do? You can¡¯t even watch your child, spending all your time ying those damn games! You want to y, yeah? Why aren¡¯t you ying now? I¡¯m telling you, if anything happens to the child, we are getting a divorce!¡± Xu Liang buried his head between his legs, his hands clutching the back of his head, letting the woman curse him out without saying a word. This really was his fault! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om If something really happened to the child, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. His mind kept reying her sweet smile, and to Xu Liang, it felt as if knives were slicing cuts into his heart! Does it hurt? The heartaches like it¡¯s being carved with knives! Xu Liang would even use his own life in exchange for his child¡¯s life. She was only three years old! Cute, sensible, always smiling. Just thesest few days, he finally taught her the phic alphabet. Sweetie was so happy, seemingly filled with endless enthusiasm for those letters, reading aloud over and over again, writing from memory time and again. Every time Xu Liang thought of this, he couldn¡¯t wait to throw away his phone! If he hadn¡¯t yed games, if he had stayed with the child to finish her homework, helped her read out the phic letters, watched her grow up¡­ How wonderful that would have been! With these thoughts, tears dropped from Xu Liang¡¯s eyes onto the ground. It¡¯s not about being wronged! It¡¯s about remorse! It¡¯s about helplessness! Life is only once, no one pays for your mistakes, Xu Liang¡¯s hands dug into his hair, his scalp, even¡­ into his flesh! But this pain is nothing. Nothing is as important as little Sweetie¡¯s life at this moment. Thinking back on every little moment of life, remembering his adorable daughter sitting on top of his head, plucking at his hair while teasing, ¡®Daddy¡¯s hair is so oily, Daddy doesn¡¯t wash his hair¡¯, Xu Liang could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs. He was terrified! He was scared to death! He was full of regret, an agony beyond words! His wife¡¯s scolding, venting, and anger were somehow a relief to him. Scold me! I was wrong! I truly repent¡­ My wife¡¯s anger and irritation, instead, provided me with a slight relief from my sense of guilt. ¡°Xu Liang, you owe me, you owe my daughter¡­¡± The woman cried messily, her professional suit smeared with snot and tears, but none of that mattered, what could be more important than one¡¯s child? The other patients around them also sighed! No one med orined. Too many stories unfold every day in the hospital, there¡¯s joy, anger, consideration, sadness, fear, there¡¯s separation and reunion, there¡¯s¡­ Everyone just looked at the woman with sympathy. What else could they do? Seeing this, Chen Cang approached, ¡°That, family member of the patient.¡± As Xu Liang saw Chen Cang, he quickly stood up, ¡°Doctor, Doctor! How¡¯s my daughter?¡± The woman also quieted down suddenly, her eyes brimming with tears, ¡°Doctor¡­ Doctor, how¡¯s Sweetie?¡± Chen Cang looked at Xu Liang, whose face was still streaked with tears, ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous, the child is not in immediate danger for her life, but we can¡¯t remove the bronchoscope forceps, surgery is needed to open up the trachea and remove the foreign object, I need your signature.¡± On hearing there was no immediate danger to life, Xu Liang and the woman both breathed a sigh of relief! After all, when the child was brought in, her breathing was so faint it nearly vanished¡­ Xu Liang quickly nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll sign! I¡¯ll sign whatever! Doctor¡­ you must save the child, no matter how much it costs, whatever it takes, okay?¡± Chen Cang nodded seriously, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do my best.¡± After Chen Cang had the nurses exin the paperwork to the family and had them sign it, he returned to the operating room to prepare the various instruments needed for the surgery, along with the requisite drugs. Chen Cang began to exin and arrange the work toe, everything proceeding in an orderly, calm fashion. Chen Cang¡¯s mature performance relieved Xiao He of the nerves he had earlier. But it also sparked his curiosity: this young man really had the poise and demeanor of an emergency physician, as if everything was well in hand. How was it that he wasn¡¯t very familiar with such an outstanding young man? After all, the endoscopy room often faced many critical situations, and it was rare to see this young mane to help. Could he be new here? The nurse walked in, holding the signed documents, and said to Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, he¡¯s signed everything.¡± Chen Cang nodded and nced at Xiao He, ¡°Let¡¯s start! Director, could you help me position the child¡¯s head.¡± Xiao He nodded, understanding Chen Cang¡¯s intention. Although it wasn¡¯t thoracic surgery, positioning the head to center the trachea was basic medical knowledge. Chen Cang began the routine procedure of disinfection and draping. All of a sudden, Chen Cang realized, if a soldier takes pride in their nket-folding skills, then we surgeons definitely have a smooth and sharp talent forying sheets! At the very least, it¡¯s at a perfect level! ¡°1% lidocaine + 1 drop of adrenaline!¡± The nurse nodded, these had already been prepared in advance. This type of anesthesia was a local infiltration anesthesia, and Chen Cang began to slowly inject it from the subcartginous area to the suprasternal notch. The reason Chen Cang hadn¡¯t called Liu Jian was precisely due to this: if the patient was still bouncing around during a tracheostomy, a professional anesthetist would be required for intravenous medication. This local anesthesia wasn¡¯t much different from treating a small wound.. Chapter 173 - 174: Marry You When I Grow Up! Chapter 173: Chapter 174: Marry You When I Grow Up! (Vote for Monthly Ticket!) Chen Cang took the scalpel and began the procedure! 1 he human body is the most precise andplex instrument, and the neck is a bridge within the body. 1 here are many things there, but those most closely rted 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 hemon practice of not talking orughing 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 rmend learning this, because the neck is the most dangerous ce. It¡¯s not advisable to try this¡­ The surgery slowly proceeded! Chen Cang started making an incision just below the cricoid cartge, right up to the suprasternal notch in the middle,yer byyer peeling back his tissues. He cut through the subcutaneous tissue, slit through and separated the tysma muscle, and bluntly dissected along the incision direction until reaching the thyroid nd. 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 sessfully removed. Next was suturing. This was the first time Chen Cang had performed a trachea suture, but in fact, the principles are all simr. The surgery waspleted. N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 intraoperativeplications. 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. Aftering 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 moreplicated, and the nurse¡¯s job in the emergency room was more cumbersome than in regr departments since it involved dealing with multiple departments, leading to more intricate financial entanglements. About an hourter, Xu Liang rushed in, ¡°Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, Sweetie¡¯s awake!¡± (Ding! Mission aplished, saved the little girl with a foreign body airway obstruction, reward: Skill points +2!] He begrudgingly epted 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 heartyughter. Chen Cang looked at the adorable little girl. This must be the sense of aplishment 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 cab 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 outughing at her earnestness! The patients around, including Xu Liang and the child¡¯s mother, all burst into uproariousughter. Children these days, so clever and adorable! Chen Cang stood up, patted the child¡¯s head, ¡°Uncle will wait for you!¡± Chapter 174 - 175: Don’t 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 y games again, I¡¯ll y 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. Justst 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 ept it, I really won¡¯t be able to forgive myself!¡± The woman by his side also said, ¡°Doctor Chen, you must ept 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 alwaysing and going. Let¡¯s not cause a scene that would make things awkwardter.¡± 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 ept 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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 yful 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 Cangughed heartily, picked her up, and nted 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 intoughter. 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 thedy of the house would. Two dayster, it was time for Tiantian to be discharged. After Xu Liangpleted 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 tough or cry. Xu Liang also gave an embarrassed chuckle and looked at his wife, ¡°Honey, why do I feel like we¡¯ve be the viins 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 Yueughed, ¡°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 nce 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 - 176: That’s right! It’s Chen Cang! (Seeking monthly votes&) Chapter 175: Chapter 176: That¡¯s right! It¡¯s Chen Cang! (Seeking monthly votes&) Fang Yonglin¡¯s sessful 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 asfortable 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 sess 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. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 andmunicated; 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 forparoscopic 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 galldder triangle and liver, making the surgery incredibly difficult!1¡® At this revtion, 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 theparoscopic 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 noplications 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 ofparoscopic 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 ovepping arterial sutures dazzled everyone! ¡°Beautiful!¡± ¡°Genius!¡± ¡°Damn!¡± With each exmation, 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 coulde up with it? Even if someone did think of it, how many could achieve it! That rapid, precise suturing of the hepatic artery under theparoscope was simply ssic! 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 iplete, touch your heart. Doesn¡¯t it hurt? Chapter 176: 177: Im at work... Isnt 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 nces! 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 epted 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 waspletely different. The surgery shown in the video was not something that could be sessful 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 ss, 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 toe 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 ss 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 toe over soon, get everything that needs to be prepared ready, and after hees I will exin 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 thepletion 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 rmended exemption for Chen Cang, which would be more convenient, but it turned out to be toote. 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,e to my office.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 Ie up after work, how about that?¡± Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt as if he was getting pped in slow motion on both cheeks, reyed 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 toe 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 fewints 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 backte, so 1 didn¡¯t post, apologies for thete update.. Chapter 177: 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 exhration. 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 ordance 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 rtively easier for you to find a job. This year, the Second Provincial Hospital also became a national standardized training hospital, so Chen Cang couldpletely 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 sry 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 toplete the required credits, don¡¯t worry about anything else. However, try to attend sses 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 yfully, ¡°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 cafeteriady 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 eptance 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 thete nights and overtime recently have left me feelingpletely 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 Haido 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 Haido, 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 eptance notice.¡± The paper Chen Cang had been obsessing over was finallying 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 eptance 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 eptance notice to several people. Honestly, Qin Yue had never expected that her teacher even knew people from ¡°Liver Transntation¡± 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 eptance 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 Yueugh with a single remark, ¡°¡®Liver Transntation¡¯? Why not publish in ¡®The Lancet¡¯? Or¡­ ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯ could work too?¡± Wang Qian was torn betweenughter 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 Transntation¡¯ is? Topare it with ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯?¡± ¡°That journal, ¡®Liver Transntation,¡¯ 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 Transntation¡¯ to my PhD application, if my scores pass, there¡¯s less than a 10% chance of getting rejected. ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ 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 178: 179:1 Suspect You Are Bullying Me for Being Uneducated (Vote for Monthly Ticket) Wang Qian stared at Qin Yue as if he were looking at a young cow, ¡°Qin Yue? Howe 1 never noticed how awesome you are before?¡± Qin Yue felt somewhat embarrassed by thepliment, ¡°Actually¡­ my contribution to the paper wasn¡¯t that significant. My teacher revised a ton for me, plus Professor Wu did the trantion. Even getting the paper published was a favor my teacher called in!¡± ¡°So! Chen Cang, wouldn¡¯t it weigh on your conscience if you didn¡¯t treat us to a meal?¡± Chen Cang searched on his phone for a long time but couldn¡¯t find anything about ¡°Liver Transnt¡± on Baidu everything was about how much a liver transnt cost, whether the surgery was difficult, and whether one could eat after it¡­ Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue and Wang Qian with suspicion, ¡°I¡¯m starting to suspect you two are conniving to dupe me, a man without much culture.¡± Wang Yong nodded, ¡°I think so too¡­¡± Aftering out from Haido, Chen Cang looked grievously at Qin Yue, ¡°Don¡¯t you look at the price when you order?¡± Qin Yue patted her round belly, ¡°Of course I do, but I don¡¯t when you are the one treating.¡± Chen Cang sighed, ¡°You should change your name. What Qin Yue? More like ¡®Beast¡¯!¡± Wang Qianughed, ¡°Cang Er, you¡¯re now the richest among the four of us. We¡¯re still scraping by on our sries, and here you are throwing knives for a living. If you don¡¯t rob the rich to help the poor, we¡¯d feel too guilty!¡± Wang Yong remained silent,tely ying the supporter role had been sofortable. Chen Cang developed so well, and thanks to that, his own mix of support items had transformed from Doran¡¯s into Infinity Edge. Could a Bloodthirster be far off?
    That afternoon, Chen Cang didn¡¯t go to the hospital but went home to prepare his materials and headed straight to Dongyang Medical University. As Chen Cang¡¯s alma mater, he was very familiar with the ce. It had been three years since hisst visit, but it seemed unchanged. Entering the campus and seeing the scattered students on the way, Chen Cang suddenly felt as if he had aged a lot, as if he no longer fit in here. His perspective of these students was like looking at a bunch of kids. It had been three years since he¡¯d graduated¡­ College lifested five years, not a day more, not a day less. From immaturity to greenness, from confusion to even greater confusion. In college, Chen Cang learned a lot, but at graduation, he realized he had lost even more. As he watched students and juniors walking across campus on their way to afternoon sses, Chen Cang felt an intense wave of nostalgia. This is his alma mater, the ce that holds five years of memories. Although it couldn¡¯t be considered a prestigious institute with many honors, a son never despises his mother¡¯s looks, a dog never shuns a poor family. Walking through the crowds, Chen Cang soon arrived at the office of the director of the graduate department in the administrative building. After knocking on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± The voice was young and familiar, not sounding over forty. Pushing the door open, Chen Cang saw a familiar face sitting there. ¡°Mr. Guan???¡± Chen Cang said in surprise! Guan Weiughed heartily, ¡°Surprised?¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Mr. Guan¡­ Damn, you made it big, huh? You¡¯re the director of the graduate department now?¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Guan Wei nodded and gestured for Chen Cang to sit down, ¡°Have a seat, haha. When Dean Qin gave me your information the other day, 1 was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was someone with the same name. 1 didn¡¯t expect it to actually be you!¡± Chen Cang had a good rtionship with Guan Wei. Guan Wei was both an instructor and also handled the work of the Youth League Committee for the clinical department, while Chen Cang was the ss monitor and also the leader of the ss¡¯s Youth League.
    The two of them had plenty of interaction, and Chen Cang¡¯s drinking habits were also influenced by Guan Wei¡¯s mentorship. Guan Wei was modest and down-to-earth, often mingling with the students, casually sitting down with them for conversations, meals, and drinks. Chen Cang didn¡¯t expect that in just three years of absence, Guan Wei would have be the director of the graduate department. Thinking about this, Chen Cangughed and said, ¡°Mr. Guan, congrattions on the promotion. Now I have to bow down to you again. You must take good care of me.¡±
    Guan Weiughed and pointed at Chen Cang, yfully scolding, ¡°You kid, when 1 rmended you for direct admission to graduate school, you didn¡¯t take it, and now look at you.¡± Chen Cang alsoughed, ¡°Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! At that time, my financial situation didn¡¯t allow it, and you know about my family¡¯s circumstances.¡± Guan Wei nodded, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get the formalities done first. We¡¯ll meet up tonight, the usual ce. This time, you¡¯re treating.¡± Chen Cangughed heartily, ¡°No problem, 1¡¯11 make sure everyone¡¯s well-fed!¡± Chen Cang was inherently honest and straightforward, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and worked efficiently, which made him quite likable over time. In less than an hour, Guan Wei personally helped Chen Cangplete the data entry. ¡°I always knew it, Chen, you can shine anywhere if you put in the effort. Look how well you¡¯re doing now, Dean Qin took the initiative to pull strings for you. Not just anyone can do that. It¡¯s not like before; direct graduate admissions are bing increasingly rare. I reckon Dean Qin must have spent quite an effort,¡± Guan Wei said with a smile. Chen Cang nodded. Although he didn¡¯t know why Qin Xiaoyuan had taken the initiative to promise him a grad school opportunity, he would remember this favor in his heart regardless. There are no uncaused goods and bads; rtionships between people are mutual. Guan Wei suddenly smiled, ¡°You and Geng Yan are getting married soon, no?¡± Chen Cang was taken aback and then smiled, ¡°We broke up after graduation.¡± Guan Wei was momentarily dumbfounded, ¡°Broke up? Oh¡­ you did?¡± ¡°It¡¯smon, breakup seasones with graduation. It happened, now it¡¯s over. You¡¯re doing well now, with a regr position at the provincial hospital. How about I set you up with someone? Our university hired a bunch of young peoplest year; there are a few nice girls among them, even PhDs. Pairing up with a university lecturer might be more rxed. Otherwise, if both spouses are in clinical practice, no one takes care of the home.¡± When Chen Cang heard this, he was, to be honest, somewhat tempted. Guan Wei made sense. If both were clinical doctors, who would take care of the kids in the future? It seemed somewhat irresponsible for the children, whereas being a university lecturer seemed not bad at all prestigious work, two holidays, a rxed job, and one would need a PhD to be a university teacher, right? The children¡¯s education would surely be well provided for.
    Chen Cangughed at the thought, ¡°I¡¯m just a lowly bachelor¡¯s degree holder; would they even consider me?¡± Guan Wei shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ve got just a bachelor¡¯s degree too, and isn¡¯t my wife a PhD? It doesn¡¯t matter for men whether you do a PhD or not, what counts is ability.¡± ¡°How about you look among your university ssmates? Many from your ss are now graduate students at our university. They must have graduated by now, too. 1 wonder how they¡¯re doing in their job search?¡± ¡°Nowadays, jobs are hard toe by; there are tons of grad students whose aspirations exceed their abilities. They can¡¯t get into good hospitals, and they don¡¯t want to go to ordinary ones. But look at you, kid, you didn¡¯t go to grad school, but you¡¯ve settled your job cement. In hindsight, you¡¯re one of the few who¡¯ve actually done well.¡± Chen Cang sighed. It was all¡­ coincidences. That evening, he had a few beers with Guan Wei. By the time he got home, it was past ten o¡¯clock. After washing up, hey in bed and soon fell into a slumber. In his dreams, he saw many things. There were those humble dreams tucked away under his pillow that had gradually grown moldy over the years. His dreams were filled with people he once yearned for but never belonged to him. Those who leave me cannot be retained! Those who disturb my peace bring much vexation on this day! A strong breeze and towering waves wille in time; 1 shall hang my sails and cross the vast seas! ps: Darn author, cutting the story short again. See that? Shredded my ticket¡­ so frustrating¡­
    ps: I¡¯ve cursed the author on everyone¡¯s behalf, that¡¯s fair of me, right¡­ When convenient, give Chen Cang and Qin Yue some thumbs up under the ¡ª Character Area. I¡¯ve heard they get special birthday covers and rmendations for having more likes. Please support them; I¡¯ve already made Qin Yue and Chen Cang bow and thank everyone¡­. Chapter 179: 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 Transntation,¡± 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,e 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 ck cloth shoes that were torn in several ces, 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 nced 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 ttered, 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.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chen Cangforted, ¡°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 red 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 prated? 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,ughing hopelessly. Upon hearing that, Qin Yue¡¯splexion 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 nce, ¡°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.. Chapter 180: 181: Zhu Yongwangs Heartfelt Wish Mission (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 180: Chapter 181: Zhu Yongwang¡¯s Heartfelt Wish Mission (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chen Cang said, ¡°Go have the nurse check his temperature and blood pressure. Right, ask Lina to bring over the ECG machine, get ready to do an electrocardiogram.¡± Qin Yue stood up and walked toward the outside. Chen Cang closed the door, turned around, and stared at the man, ¡°Were you trying to kill yourself?¡± The man was startled, then chuckled, ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s the point of living? ¡°My wife sold everything we had to pay for my medical treatment, 1 might as well be dead than alive.¡± Chen Cang: ¡°Do you have kids?¡± The mention of kids made the man sigh, ¡°1 have three kids. The eldest is a girl in third grade, the second is also a girl, six years old and not in school yet, and the youngest is a four-year-old boy. They are good kids, but their father is worthless. To pay for my medical expenses, they¡¯ve never worn new clothes since they were little. If I continue to spend money on treatment, the kids won¡¯t just be kept from school, they¡¯ll starve to death. ¡°So 1 found a piece of wire at home and walked a long distance before stabbing it into my heart.¡± Chen Cang nced at the man, ¡°That¡¯s not where the heart is¡­¡±
    The man sighed, ¡°Everything they show on TV is a lie.¡± Chen Cang:¡­ Suddenly, he didn¡¯t know what to say, whether he shouldment the misleading nature of television dramas or be relieved that the misinformation had proven fortunate. It felt like someone who had tried tomit suicide with fake pesticide and failed. The man continued, ¡°I took a train from Lvliang to the capital to see Tiananmen Square. It¡¯s nice, the capital is so beautiful and magnificent. Then I took a train to¡­ Eventually, I arrived at Anyang.¡± ¡°I realized¡­ it¡¯s good to be alive¡­ I don¡¯t want to die anymore, can you save me?¡± ¡°Also, can you help me pull this wire out? 1 can¡¯t stand the difort; my chest has felt terribly constricted these past few days.¡± ¡°I have no money¡­ but I also don¡¯t want to die now, doctor, can you please save me?¡± [Ding! A mission has been triggered: Zhu Yongwang¡¯s Wish. Fulfill Zhu Yongwang¡¯s wish to gain +5 skill points, +1 special lucky bag, and +1 clinical level.] Chen Cang took a deep breath, the task rewards were quite substantial. Chen Cang: ¡°How were you able to get on a train?¡± ¡°1 said I was going to get medical treatment, the conductor was afraid I¡¯d die on the train, so they arranged a sleeper berth for me. I told them I had no money, and they bought the ticket for me for free.¡± By this time, Qin Yue had returned with Chang Lina and several others. Chang Lina: ¡°Doctor Chen, the temperature is 38.8 degrees Celsius, blood pressure is i3O/7ommHg.¡± Chen Cang nodded, this was probably a fever caused by an infection from the wound. ¡°Get an ECG done, I want to see the heart¡¯s condition.¡± Chang Lina nodded and looked at the man cautiously, ¡°Lie down on the bed, I ll do an ECG for you.¡± The man said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m dirty, 1¡¯11 soil the bed.¡± Lina softened, ¡°No worries at all, we¡¯re sending the sheets for washing tomorrow anyway. It¡¯s all good.¡± After the many down, the wire jiggled mischievously, startling Chang Lina. But during the ECG, Chang Lina had some trouble, ¡°Doctor Chen, where should I ce the V2 lead?¡±
    The wire was exactly where the V2 electrode should be. Chen Cang: ¡°Just ce it beside, it won¡¯t affect.¡± The ECG results came out quickly. Normal sinus rhythm, rightward axis deviation, no major problems.
    Chen Cang stood up, took off his own short-sleeve shirt, and handed it to the man, ¡°Put on a shirt,e on, I¡¯ll take you to get an X-ray to see what¡¯s going on with the wire.¡± The man shook his head, ¡°I have no money.¡± Chen Cang: ¡°I¡¯ll pay for you.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The statement stunned those around. Had Chen Cang lost his mind? The man¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly stood up: ¡°Okay.¡± The night shift in the radiology department saw that someone hade from the emergency room and hurried out, seeing Chen Cang leading a patient over. ¡°Dr. Chen?¡± Pang Xin and Chen Cang had joined the hospital in the same year and had undergone orientation training together. They got along quite well. Chen Cang said, ¡°We¡¯ve got a special patient, no money for treatment, attempted suicide but didn¡¯t want to die afterward, and now there¡¯s a steel wire sticking out of his chest. Help me see what¡¯s going on.¡± Pang Xin nodded: ¡°Should I develop the X-ray?¡± Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: ¡°Go ahead, I¡¯ll handle the payment. Pang Xin was stunned: ¡°You¡¯re paying?¡± Chen Cang nodded: ¡°He has no money¡­¡± Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but nce at Chen Cang: ¡°Are you out of your mind?
    There are so many patients, can you even manage?¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°A pitiful person, let¡¯s just help out where we can.¡± Unable to convince Chen Cang, Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but suggest, ¡°How about letting him have the X-ray first, and then you take a photo with your phone instead of developing the film? That way you won¡¯t have to spend any money.¡± Chen Cang hesitated for a moment: ¡°That works too! Thanks, Old Pang. Pang Xin shook his head: ¡°Go in, I¡¯ll take a look at what s going on! A few minutester, the imaging results came out. Pang Xin pointed to the picture on theputer and said, ¡°The situation¡­ it¡¯s a bitplicated and rather unique!¡± ¡°Look, this is the pulmonary artery. The steel wire has just passed through it. Because it went through quickly and the wire is quite thin, it might not have caused too much change in a short time¡­ But this is really abnormal, and there¡¯s definitely a notable pneumothorax in the lungs, which isn¡¯t recent. ¡°And¡­ Wait, does the patient also have lung cancer?!¡± Pang Xin couldn¡¯t help but widen his eyes! Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, the patient¡¯s situation is special, lung cancer with bone metastasis. He¡¯s got less than half a year, tried tomit suicide but couldn¡¯t find where the heart was, and he missed, piercing the pulmonary artery instead. Then he¡­ took a train trip to the capital city, changed his mind about dying, and now he¡¯s ended up in the emergency room, refusing to leave, insisting I treat him, and iming he has no money.¡± ¡°His medical bills have drained his family¡¯s finances. He has a wife and three kids at home¡­ It¡¯s pitiful, so I thought 1 might as well help if I can.¡± Pang Xin frowned at the images: ¡°There¡¯s no help for it, look at the lungs¡­ There are too many cancerous sites. 1 suspect it¡¯s not just bone metastasis¡­ His life expectancy really isn¡¯t long, how are you going to treat him?¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°Tomorrow when the cardiothoracic surgery department is in, I¡¯ll talk to Director Tao about removing the steel wire first, and then we¡¯ll take it from there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving, thanks Old Pang!¡±
    Pang Xin watched Chen Cang leave, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: ¡°Can you really help everyone? There are so many people, just too many pitiful ones!¡± Chen Cang didn¡¯t look back: ¡°Helping one is better than none!¡± Zhu Yongwang saw Chen Cange out: ¡°How did it go?¡± Chen Cang: ¡°What do you mean ¡®how did it go¡¯?¡± Zhu Yongwang: ¡°Is there hope for me?¡± Chen Cang responded indifferently: ¡°As for the steel wire in your chest, I¡¯ll ask cardiothoracic surgery tomorrow, but your lung cancer¡­ it¡¯s difficult to treat. Zhu Yongwang was taken aback: ¡°But this is a major hospital, surely you can treat it. 1 don¡¯t want to die. 1 still want to¡­¡± Chen Cang sighed: ¡°Take it easy, one step at a time.¡± Zhu Yongwang nodded: ¡°Actually, I brought my ID. 1 lied to you, but I really have no money..¡± Chapter 181: 182:1 pity my awesomeness Chapter 181: Chapter 182:1 pity my awesomenessn/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (Requesting monthly votes!) 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 ount.¡± Chang Lina, ¡°Even if we set up a debt ount, 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-inmmatory medication tonight, and it won¡¯t cost much. Let¡¯s stick to the original n; 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. epting 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 toe 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 ident?¡±
    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 Taoe 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 cardiovascr surgeon for your diagnosis and treatment! ¡°After that, we¡¯ll need a case discussion based on your situation before we can develop a treatment n!¡± 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 ce 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 toe 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 yourpassion 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 hisst 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;te-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 sessful, would still face the problem ofte-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 andmunicate with him, exin the situation to him..¡± Chapter 182: 183: Unsheathing the Dagger at the End of the Road? (Seeking monthly votes) Chapter 182: Chapter 183: Unsheathing the Dagger at the End of the Road? (Seeking monthly votes) Chen Cang took the initiative to find Zhu Yongwang. ¡°Considering your current situation, we rmend you live with the foreign object.¡± Zhu Yongwang didn¡¯t understand and asked with wide eyes, ¡°Live with a foreign object? What does that mean?¡± Chen Cang patiently exined, ¡°It means we suggest not removing the wire from your body. You know about wars, right? Many people have bullets or fragments of bombs inside them that are not removed and don¡¯t affect their lives. So, this wire won¡¯t affect your life either.¡± ¡°Moreover, even if you underwent surgery, your survival period might be shorter, so¡­ the hospital¡¯s conclusion is that the surgery wouldn¡¯t be of any benefit to you.¡± Zhu Yongwang¡¯s face stiffened in an instant, then he gave a twisted smile, ¡°You mean that I¡¯m about to die anyway, so it doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s removed or not, and removing it would just be a waste of money, is that right?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You understand your own body condition very well. I can only tell you what¡¯s the most beneficial option for you. In fact, we have already done all we can do.¡± At those words, Zhu Yongwang let out a coldugh, ¡°Are you trying to kick me out now?¡± Chen Cang felt helpless. How many times had he been asked to leave? Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡¯m not kicking you out. It¡¯s just that our capabilities are limited. We¡¯ve helped as much as we could. Anything beyond our capacity, we can¡¯t help with, and for that, we can only deeply apologize!¡±
    Zhu Yongwangughed loudly, leaned back against the cab, and took a deep breath! Chen Cang turned to leave. Suddenly, Zhu Yongwang¡¯s eyes turned fierce, his face full of cynical contempt as if revealing a hidden de at the end of a venture! He rushed out of the observation room and ran into the hall! He shouted loudly! ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why!¡± ¡°Why did I get sick, why can¡¯t I afford treatment because I¡¯m sick, why am I dressed in tatters while you all dress so well, why do you live in big cities, in apartments, drive cars, eat in restaurants, have medical insurance, have money! Why¡­ if I don¡¯t have money, you won¡¯t treat me, is that it? Do you think I¡¯m easy to bully!¡± ¡°Fine! You won¡¯t treat me, right! I might as well get revenge on society, I¡¯m going to die soon anyway, hahaha¡­¡± The people nearby were chilled to the bone! Everyone looked at the man with a wary expression. Chang Lina was so scared that she hid and said to Qin Yue, ¡°Did you see that? I knew it was going to be like this! I knew it!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn Chen Cang quickly approached Zhu Yongwang, ¡°I¡¯ve exined it to you clearly. We¡¯ve done as much as we can. Having the surgery might actually shorten your survival!¡± ¡°Besides, we are just ordinary people. We work hard for our food,muting on public transport. We¡¯re no different from you. Please don¡¯t have such thoughts. Think about your child. Would you want your child to be the same?¡± Zhu Yongwang turned around abruptly and stared at Chen Cang, ¡°Dr. Chen, don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t blow up the hospital. You¡¯re all good people!¡± Chen Cang hurriedly soothed him, ¡°Zhu Yongwang, please don¡¯t jump to conclusions. Come back to the ward with me, and let¡¯s have a good talk. Rest in the ward for now. I¡¯ll go to Director Zhao and discuss your situation again,municate a bit! How about that?¡± After Chen Cang finished speaking, he said to Qin Yue, ¡°You keep an eye on him.¡± After saying that, he went to find Li Baoshan.
    Li Baoshan saw Chen Cang running over, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Cang exined hurriedly, and the three of them fell silent immediately, each deep in thought! At this moment, Chen Cang took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said seriously, ¡°All directors, I have an idea. First of all, rationally speaking, this is exactly as Director Yang and Director Tao said: he only has less than three months to live. Rather than using substantial resources for such a high-risk operation¡ªwhich might even shorten his life span¡ªit¡¯s true that we shouldn¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°However, this patient might be on the verge of copse. The blows of life have already devastated this young man. He¡¯s not that old, just in his thirties. We need to consider his innermost feelings and mental world. To heal a person is to heal the heart.¡±
    ¡°So, my suggestion is, we should try to save the patient. Whether or not it¡¯s sessful, we should keep him here. This is his only hope in this world, the only warmth he can feel, and perhaps this might be thest scrap of kindness he perceives from society.¡± ¡°As for the money, I¡¯ll try to scrape it together. I¡¯ll advance the funds. I¡¯ll perform the surgery! I can do it! Therefore, I hope all the leaders and directors will give me this chance!¡± Chen Cang had made up his mind to try to save Zhu Yongwang. Spending some money, consider it an investment for a mission, it would not be a loss anyway! But what¡¯s more important is, often you know something is futile, but you must still go through with it! Just like this case, perhaps saving Zhu Yongwang is unnecessary, and the surgery might even bring harm! But, the surgery can save his heart! It can allow him to feel thest bits of warmth in the world, and add a bit of yearning for life as he departs. After speaking, Chen Cang left the office. Leaving the office, Chen Cang went to the observation room to look for Zhu Yongwang, but when he came out, he suddenly discovered the man was gone! Chen Gang¡¯s expression changed immediately, and he ran back to the office where he saw Qin Yue sitting there. His face changed, and he shouted, ¡°How could you not keep an eye on him!¡± Qin Yue was momentarily stunned, her eyes reddening, ¡°me me? Can I be med for this? Can I stop someone whose legs are on his own body?¡± ¡°Moreover, should I just not do anything all morning except follow him around?¡± ¡°Even if he stayed, what could you do? Can you save him? He has already reached this point; what can you do!¡± Chen Cang clenched his teeth and turned to run outside!
    Seeing Chang Lina, ¡°Have you seen Zhu Yongwang?¡± Chang Lina shook her head, ¡°No! I guess he ran away?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not umon for people who can¡¯t afford the fees to flee from the emergency room every day!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop him?¡± Chang Lina chuckled, ¡°Why should I stop him? You¡¯ve seen what he¡¯s like. What if he found me annoying and stabbed me? I don¡¯t lower myself to the level of such people.¡± ¡°Besides¡­ if he doesn¡¯t run, where¡¯s the money for the fees? It¡¯s me the head nurse would scold, not you.¡± Chang Lina had not a shred of fondness for Zhu Yongwang, to be honest! Even disgust! Such a person, truly filled with cynicism, capable of doing anything. She was just a nurse; it was best to keep her distance.. Chapter 183: 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 red at Chen Cang, ¡°None of your business!¡± Qin Yue then headed towards Tian Jie, a bustlingmercial 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 yed 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, andrge 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 pce¡­ 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 hees!¡± 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 winkst 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 disying 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 Yongwangy 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 youe?¡± 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 upst 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¡­¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
    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 ept this!¡± Qin Yue sighed, ¡°This isn¡¯t for you, it¡¯s for the kids. It¡¯s not easy for them toe 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 vige, 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 nned 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 alsopletely bewildered! Why did Zhu Yongwang run away? Where did he go? What on earth was he nning 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 thest and most difficult days of my life you¡¯ve given me a sense of warmth and hope, and you¡¯ve shown me thest 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 pir. 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 onest 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 yetpletely 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 uncontrobly. ¡°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 me the hospital, they¡¯re all good people. I¡¯ve written the will; donate it to those in need¡­ don¡¯t me 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 be heroes to their children and wives, and blessings to all women, may you find your hero.. Chapter 209: 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 exin, 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 mostplicated inter-personal rtionships 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-inw and mothers apanying 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 surgeryter, please help with the anesthesia.¡± Liu Jian nodded with a smile, ¡°No problem, Director Zhang, your word is mymand. 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 arge 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 toe 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 heckedmunication 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 particrly 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 nned 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 185: 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¡¯sck of fame. Hmm, the medical school¡¯s global ranking isn¡¯t that strong either, just a mere top 10. There¡¯s nothing particrly 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 ce you shoulde 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 Ennd Journal of Medicine¡­ Chen Cang casually closed the magazine, mmed 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 uneptable. 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, particrly 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 countryst year, and initially she didn¡¯t n 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; aftering 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. Sessful apprenticeship allows for a career change to a special hidden upation. 1 Chen Cang was stunned!
    Holy shit? A hidden task? A hidden upation? Isn¡¯t this the main character¡¯s typical setup? After Guan Wei finished speaking, he sat down opposite Chen Cang, ¡°Actually, I wouldn¡¯t rmend you apply for Meng Xi. It¡¯s her first time mentoring, so she definitelycks 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 highlypetent, 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 tomunicate.¡± 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 upation? 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 be 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 hade 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 andziness. 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 rmend 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 hime 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!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn
    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? ps: A postgraduate student is akin to a research monk; supervisors favor boys for their practicality and capability, for they do more work and aren¡¯t afraid of getting tired. Seven updates for today, I will organize the outline this afternoon, thank you- Chapter 186: 187: Mastering Long Bear Art, Selling to the Wealthy Lady! (Vote for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 186: Chapter 187: Mastering Long Bear Art, Selling to the Wealthy Lady! (Vote for Monthly Tickets) Chen Cang came back and waited for the evening feast. There was a department gathering tonight, but it wasn¡¯t time yet, so Chen Cang simplyy on the bed and took out his reward, the lucky bag! The bag had a character for ¡°luck¡± on it and a red band, just like those used for candy in wedding celebrations. [Lucky Bag, a small bag filled with infinite possibilities. Once opened, you can randomly obtain an item, whether it¡¯s precious or worthless, big or small.] Chen Cang suddenly wondered if this lucky bag could be used as a storage bag? Imagine during surgery, with a flick of his hand, a scalpel, separating forceps, gauze¡­ all springing out one by one. How cool would that be, with his own BGM. So cool! [Ding! Congrattions on opening the Lucky Bag, you¡¯ve obtained a Skill Book!] A burst of purple light shed before Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, and suddenly, a Skill Book appeared! But¡­ after the purple light faded, the lucky bag disappeared, shattering Chen Cang¡¯s beautiful dream! However, another purple Skill Book was now in his hands! He had already gained a purple Skill Book from ying a king-level galldder before and hadn¡¯t had the chance to check it. Now here was another one. If only the two Skill Books were not inanimate, maybe they could have bred a little Skill Book if left alone.
    Chen Cang decisively chose to open it! [Ding! Congrattions, you¡¯ve learned: p Transntation Surgery, Master Level.] When he saw ¡°p Transntation Surgery,¡± Chen Cang almostughed out loud like a pig, he couldn¡¯t believe his luck in getting this skill, incredible! [p Transntation Surgery: Master Level, Special effects: 1. Normal blood flow; 2. Sensitive touch! ] As a major showpiece of microsurgery and cosmetic surgery, Chen Cang had long coveted p transntation surgery. p transntation is not generally performed in small hospitals; it is typically done inrge hospitals in big cities. Zheng Guotan¡¯s wife, Zhang Aixiang, will undergo such a surgery in two months. The scar on Zhang Aixiang¡¯s forehead is quiterge, beyond the capability of regr cosmetic clinics. The repair required would indeed call for p transntation, using distant ps for stic reconstruction,mon choices being the pectoralis major p and cervical ps. Using such ps for facial cosmetic surgery has several advantages: first, they can repair arge area; second, the donor site is hidden, making future scars less noticeable; third, the donor skin matches the facial skin color closely, creating a more seamless look after facial surgery. This kind ofp transntation surgery requires a highly skilled team and technology. In Dongyang Province, Dongda Second Hospital is the only one capable of performing it. A great opening performance! Chen Cang, thrilled, energetically rubbed his hands together and promptly opened the second Skill Book. [Ding! Congrattions, you¡¯ve learned: Breast Augmentation Surgery, Master Level!] Chen Cang was silent. He stared at the virtual screen with its faint purple glow, which seemed to mock him. Chen Cang took a deep breath, thought a lot, and thought far ahead¡­ It seems some things are just fate, and you can¡¯t run from them. He clicked to receive the reward silently. [Ding! Breast Augmentation Surgery, Master Level, Special effects: 1. Natural harmony; 2. Stable and longsting.] Breast augmentation is a second-tier surgery, while p transntation is a third or fourth-tier surgery, depending on how the hospital categorizes it.
    Chen Cang would have tomit to studying both surgeries. After much thought, Chen Cang still decided to learn breast augmentation surgery, as it had a slightly greater appeal to him. After all, p transntation¡­ emmmmmm. He decisively clicked on Breast Augmentation Surgery, and suddenly, the scene before him changed, and a woman appeared in front of Chen Cang.
    [Ding! Tutorial begins¡­] Chen Cang, to be honest, really, was initially very tempted. His heart pounded as if it were a pile driver. Because breast augmentation surgery first requires a thorough understanding of the breast structure. Before the surgical teaching even started, Chen Cang had been taught a harsh lesson! It was through the observation and appreciation of different models that Chen Cang realized he seemed to have a big misunderstanding about breast augmentation. Actually, there are many standards for judging the beauty of breasts, and it¡¯s not just about shallow, superficial beauty¡ªthere are various criteria involved. And there are many standards of beauty for breasts, but overall, they can be divided into two categories, the first is whether the shape of the breasts themselves is normal, and the second is whether the shape of the breasts is harmonious with the overall body shape, both of which are very important¡­ I he second point is about the matching and harmony between the shape of the breasts and the body. I his includes not only size but also position, symmetry, height, angle, and whether it conforms to the aesthetic rules of biomechanics. Actually, this is what we often see, that sometimesrger is not necessarily better. Sometimes, smaller ones actually seem more exquisite. (I believe that no matter the gender, one should have a broad breadth of experience; reflect on what you haven¡¯t seen¡­)
    So, in fact, breast augmentation surgery itself is not a correct name; it should be called breast stic surgery. The purpose of stic surgery is to resolve those defects that are as if in rooms. After the teaching was over, Chen Cang started to practice and evaluate constantly. Chen Cang finally found that breast augmentation surgery is actually much more difficult than facial stic surgery. Because in most surgeries, you can¡¯t anticipate what will happen during the procedure, and you literally don¡¯t know what the consequences will be after the surgery. Breast augmentation itself has a lot of seque, the most obvious being infections, resulting in various reactions like redness, swelling, heat, and pain after the surgery-these are the main factors of failure, and there is a high incidence of these seque. The next issues are those of aesthetics and stability, where many surgeries result in asymmetry or sagging problems, which are impossible to anticipate during the surgery. Chen Cang practiced incessantly, and the issues he encountered just kept increasing. To facilitate Chen Cang¡¯s memory, the system was very user-friendly. But¡­ for Chen Cang, this became a surgical challenge, somewhat distracting. However, gradually, Chen Cang found that after seeing a lot, he started to get used to it¡­ This scared Chen Cang.N?v(el)B\\jnn He wasn¡¯t bing asexual, was he?
    After all¡­ Such things had urred before. Every time Chen Cang saw Director Yue from the Breast Surgery Department of the Second Provincial Hospital, he always felt that he had an aura of being desireless, which was unusual in surgery. This made Chen Cang wonder for a time whether Director Yue had actually returned to simplicity after being exposed to a broad spectrum of experiences! At this thought, Chen Cang shuddered! After the learning session ended, just as he exited the virtual space, Chen Cang¡¯s face was flushed with panic, and he quickly opened the study folder on hisputer. Listening to the familiar music, a huge weight finally lifted from Chen Cang¡¯s heart. PS: To answer the question from the previous chapter, someone asked whether cancer patients could donate organs. Corneas can be donated, for example, after singer Yao Mou Na died from breast cancer, her corneas were donated. Benign tumors can be donated, but other cases require specific analysis.. Chapter 187: 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 Streetmercial 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 be lively, and the meal was indeed boisterous. In the middle of the meal, a middle-aged man apanied 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 Xiann 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 pharmaceuticalpany 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 regr 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 amonly 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 mostmon ones being Lian Shu, Tianjin Jinyao Amino Acid, Shanghai Hefeng, and many others.
    Yet, such amon medication brought a fatal blow to the patient! Li Baoshan naturally knew why Zhao Kangbo hade.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 Xiann. Tian Xiann 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 ounted for. Should there be any issues, Li Baoshan cannot bear the responsibility.¡± Zhao Kangboughed 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 bigpanies, 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 stic 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 stic surgery all the time. She¡¯s visited various stic surgery hospitals big and small and even went to South Koreast 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 stic 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: 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 stic surgery hospital and sat in Zhang Zhixin¡¯s office. Behind Zhang Zhixin were some magazines and journals, most of which were closely rted to breast stic 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 t. Fu Yufang smiled, ¡°Xiao Chen, this is my sister, Fu Yn.¡± 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 Yn, 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 sticity, and so forth¡­ About fifteen minutester, Chen Cang had a clear idea after the examination. He said, ¡°You have very little ndr tissue and fat content, which is why it¡¯s so t. You have a typical case of micromastia.¡± ¡°However¡­ your skin sticity is still good, but the breast muscle fibers are not very strong, and you have very little ndr tissue, so even with imntation, there¡¯s indeed some difficulty! The difficulty mainly lies in the aftermath, often worrying about the imnt shifting due to dancing.¡± Fu Yn sighed immediately, ¡°Right! The doctors in Korea said the same thing. They said that even with imnts, 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 sessful¡­ it would be quite challenging!¡± ¡°And there are numerous risks, such as imnt discement, or if there¡¯s any mismatch with the cavity, it can lead to twisting or extrusion, too manyplications!¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not impossible to achieve.¡± At this, Fu Yn¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°You mean¡­ there¡¯s a chance?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Hmm!¡± Fu Yn seemed to have done extensive research, ¡°Then can I use my own fat?¡± Chen Cang stood up, turned around, and decisively said, ¡°No!¡± Fu Yn 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 erge 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 ce!¡± Fu Yn sighed.
    After understanding the situation, Fu Yn decided to give it a try, figuring she could deal with any issuester. After all, living once as a person, and a woman at that, it can¡¯t just be so t, right? That would be too frustrating if she were to die like that! With that in thought! Fu Yn looked at Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor, use the best imnts 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 nds or fat, and your muscles aren¡¯t up to it either. If you chose toorge an imnt, it wouldn¡¯t fit if the thoracic diameter isn¡¯t sufficient. Not only could the imnt 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, toorge an imnt isn¡¯t a good thing. For safety, it would be better if the volume of the imnt is a little smaller. If after the surgery you find your skin and muscles have adapted, we can imnt some of your own fat, which would make it look more natural and full!¡± Chen Cang selected a pair of 20 teardrop-shaped Mentor imnts for her. These imnts had memory gel and were made from a high-quality material that mimics human soft tissue. After choosing the imnts, Chen Cang was ready to start the surgery. Fu Yn 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 Yn 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 imnts in the woman¡¯s body. The police tracked down the perpetrator step by step through the unique serial numbers on the imnts¡­¡± ¡°Every number is one of a kind!¡± Fu Yn¡¯s eyes brightened!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­
    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 imntation! 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 fasciayer towards theteral 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. ording to the pre-operative markings, the instrument for breast nd dissection was used to bluntly separate the space between the chest muscles, suitable for inserting the imnt. 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 imnt, and thus can¡¯t secure it properly, such problems be even more severe! And Chen Cang¡¯s breast augmentation surgery¡¯s hallmark¡ªstability and longevity¡ªwas to reasonably choose the angle and method of imnt insertion! All of these steps were done blindfolded. Without thousands of surgeries¡¯ worth of experience and training, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t guarantee the sess rate of the surgery! Pinching the imnt 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 wille tomorrow noon.
    Chapter 189: 190: What is Art! (Added for those who do good with their hands tied) Chapter 189: Chapter 190: What is Art! (Added for those who do good with their hands tied) Art emanates from life, and so does medicine. When Chen Cang was performing the Long Bear surgeries in the virtual space, he kept thinking about something. That was changing the inner tube of a bicycle! During his university days, the hospital where Chen Cang interned was quite far from his dormitory, so he had to cycle to work every day, and there was an old man who fixed bicycles near the hospital entrance. The old man had an amazing skill for changing inner tubes, which was universally acknowledged to be strong! Typical craftsmen would first remove the wheel, then rece the old inner tube with a new one, doing everything step by step, which took about twenty minutes to half an hour. But when the old man changed inner tubes, he neither removed the wheels nor the outer tires; he simply lifted the wheel hub off the fork a little to create a gap through which he could easily exchange the inner tubes. During surgery, Chen Cang suddenly realized that breast augmentation was quite akin to changing a tire! Make an incision, stuff in the prosthesis, and it¡¯s that simple. But it¡¯s also far from simple! After all, it was for aesthetic purposes, and the first criterion for perfection was the ideal cement between the second and sixth ribs, finding an area with a diameter of 10-12cm, and creating a mound with a height of 5-6cm, best positioned at the midpoint of the upper arm, with the midpoints of the left and right corbones forming an isosceles triangle. A base length of 20cm for this triangle was considered the most perfect spatial perception!
    All these precise indicators had to be achieved by the surgeon¡¯s skills and were not as simple as one might imagine. At this moment, Chen Cang was not a surgeon, but an artist. stic surgery wasn¡¯t just about stuffing things in. The upper limits and quality of a work of art were unlike ordinary medical treatment. Once the appendix was removed, it was gone, but when an artwork was ced there, it immediately captivated! That was capability! And it was art! The difference between Michngelo and an ordinary craftsman wasn¡¯t whether one could sculpt a person, but whether one could sculpt a David! The same went for Long Bear surgery. Fu Yn was Chen Cang¡¯s first piece of work, and what Chen Cang aimed for was mastery of the highest order, not the craft of an ordinary workman; what it required was fine craftsmanship. Breast augmentation wasn¡¯t a job one person could do. The anesthetist in the room was Zhang Zhixin¡¯s exclusive anesthetist, named Chang Yuanming, who was a bit curious when Chen Cang first called him for surgery; the young Dr. Chen hadn¡¯t been here long, but he always operated with Zhang Zhixin, so they were quite familiar with each other. The assistant was a young man named Little Cui, who chose to work at Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital instead of a regr hospital since graduating from medical school. After all, this ce offered quicker earnings and lower barrierspared to hospitals. Little Cui watched Chen Cang with curiosity, and though he didn¡¯t speak, his furrowed brows conveyed his bewilderment. He noticed that Chen Cang¡¯s technique was entirely different from Zhang Zhixin¡¯s! It wasn¡¯t about who did it better, but Chen Cang¡¯s attention to detail seemed to have reached an extreme! Both were puzzled by this, and even over a minor detail, Chen Cang would work on it seven or eight times. Chen Cang put in a lot of effort in imnting the prosthesis! He went back and forth,paring positions no less than ten times. For a prominent shape, one must have the perfect tear-drop form, simr to ¡°Mir¨®¡¯s Venus.¡± Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were like built-in rulers, meticulously adjusting to achieve a 5cm or so axis height, creating an almost 90-degree angle with the chest wall!
    This height was crucial! Generally speaking, the best proportions follow the golden ratio of half to 0.618! The proportion of height to diameter this way would align perfectly with human aesthetics. Chen Cang took a deep breath, knowing that what followed needed a change in fullness, as a perfect Long Bear surgery had to consider all aspects.
    Fu Yn was a dancer, and Chen Cang had to think about the issue of fullness, where perfect fullness could produce a rhythmic dynamism in tune with the continuous motion of the body. Dance is a way for women to express beauty, a full embodiment of their figures. What Chen Cang sought to create was an artwork that, whether standing or lying still, looked as serene as a water droplet, and in leaps and turns, exhibited the three-dimensional beauty of dynamic rhythm. As time ticked by, second by second. The anesthetist, Chang Yuanming, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ we¡¯re running short on time.¡± Truth be told, Chen Cang¡¯s surgery time was far longer than Zhang Zhixin¡¯s. If it was going to be done, Chen Cang would do it to a standard of a million dors, designing an art piece. Chen Cang¡¯s hand movements were gentle and deliberative, his eyes thoughtful, even starting to envision various angles and pressures¡­ ¡­ The surgery ended! Fu Yn just woke up at this time. Chang Yuanming, quite honestly, was sweating bullets; he never imagined that a surgery could take so long.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om At this time, Fu Yn was a bit dazed.
    ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ have I changed?¡± Chang Yuanming was taken aback¡­ Shouldn¡¯t you be asking who you are, where you are? Outside the operating room, Fu Yufang had been waiting anxiously for a while. It¡¯s untrue to say she wasn¡¯t nervous or worried about such a lengthy surgery. After all, it¡¯s surgery, and who wouldn¡¯t be scared? Then the door to the operating room opened, and Fu Yufang eagerly approached Fu Yn, who had just woken up. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Fu Yn rolled her eyes, ¡°Just like waking up from sleep¡­¡± Fu Yufang quickly asked, ¡°Are you feeling ufortable?¡± Fu Yn nodded, ¡°It still hurts!¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°That¡¯s a normal reaction; don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Fu Yn obediently nodded. What she cared about the most now was not whether it hurt, but without Chen Cang speaking, she didn¡¯t dare touch or feel, and couldn¡¯t see, so she just waited to return to the ward to discover for herself. It was the same VIP ward as before.
    Aftering in, Fu Yufang closed the door, and Fu Yn, without any hesitation in front of Chen Cang, immediately mored, ¡°Sis, grab me the mirror quickly!¡± Fu Yufang had no mirror on hand, and seeing this, Fu Yn, anxious, jumped up and ran toward the bathroom. Chen Cang, standing outside, suddenly heard a burst of heart-wrenchingughtering from within! ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°Sis, sis, quick, take a photo of me!¡± Chapter 190: 191: Million Level! (Added for those who do good with their hands tied) Chapter 190: Chapter 191: Million Level! (Added for those who do good with their hands tied) Fu Yufang was also looking forward to it, wondering what the result of her sister¡¯s cosmetic surgery would be. But when she saw Fu Yn undoing her hospital gown, Fu Yufang was instantly dumbfounded! It¡¯s true that men and women have fundamentally different perspectives on things, but there is certainly a kind of beauty that would make anyone, regardless of gender, exim ¡°666¡±! Women¡¯s familiarity with their own bodies is beyond what any man canpare to¡ªGod knows what women think about all day long? (Femalerades, don¡¯t hit me) When Fu Yufang saw the result, her mouth hung open in astonishment, not knowing what to say! Fu Yufang knew her sister very well, to be honest. Even when Fu Yn had her first period at the age of 12, she didn¡¯t go to their mother, she went to Fu Yufang. They had always been close since childhood, and not just in a sisterly way, but with a taste of best friends as well. Fu Yn would share everything with Fu Yufang¡ªworries, sorrows, joys¡ªso Fu Yufang naturally apanied Fu Yn through this surgery. But at this moment! Fu Yufang was shocked.
    Truly beautiful! Actually, women¡¯s thoughts are quite simple, not thatplicated. And when ites to many aspects of themselves, many women even feel ack of confidence; they¡¯re afraid their husband will disdain them, dislike them, and so on. Even if she¡¯s a superstar CEO, a powerful female figure, once she takes off her clothes, she¡¯s still just a woman, ultimately troubled by typical feminine concerns. And now, from a woman¡¯s perspective, Fu Yufang was looking at Fu Yn feeling a mix of envy and astonishment! Truly too beautiful! Fu Yn, looking at herself in the Mirror, was ecstatic, excited, shocked, and eager to try. There was only one thought in Fu Yn¡¯s mind: Is this me? Is this me? With that thought, Fu Yn picked up her phone and started snapping photos from every angle¡ªafter all, she had never been this beautiful before! The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Seeing that the two of them were noting out, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but cough and said, ¡°Well, can youe out first? I still have something to tell you.¡± Hearing this, both of their faces turned red, and they hurried out. Chen Cang looked at Fu Yn and smiled faintly, ¡°So, are you satisfied?¡± Fu Yn smiled joyfully, ¡°Satisfied! Very satisfied! Dr. Chen, you are amazing. It doesn¡¯t affect my dancing, right?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mmm, it won¡¯t affect it. But you need to rest during this period, and take your medicine ording to the prescription. It still hurts a bit now, don¡¯t touch it. I¡¯m afraid of infection. Wait three to five days, and it will get better, then you can be discharged from the hospital.¡± Fu Yn immediately nodded, ¡°Thank you, Dr. Chen!¡± ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve really gone to a lot of trouble, traveling over mountains and seas, visiting more than a dozen stic surgery hospitals, been to South Korea and the United States. But I wasn¡¯t satisfied with what they offered. I¡¯ve personally seen a lot of their finished products, but they are nothingpared to yours!¡± ¡°It¡¯s truly beautiful!¡±
    ¡°I didn¡¯t care before because I was afraid of other people¡¯s criticism, so I ridiculed myself. Then, ridiculing myself became a habit. Actually, for us dancers, physique is very important!¡± ¡°Now I can imagine the feeling of standing on the stage in my costume! It¡¯s fabulous! Dr. Chen, you really have changed me!¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Chen. Oh, how much is it? This¡­ must be expensive, right?¡± Although Fu Yn mentioned ¡®expensive¡¯, she didn¡¯t seem too troubled by the cost, just a bit nervous and curious!
    Mirror nodded, ¡°Hmm, you are the most sessful one I¡¯ve done, and the one I¡¯ve put the most heart into, so naturally it won¡¯t be cheap.¡± Generally speaking, the price of this kind of bear-part stic surgery has always remained high. The cheaper ones are around forty to fifty thousand, decent ones are around two hundred thousand, and it¡¯s not impossible for the more incredible ones to cost over a million. Nowadays, some tycoons, in pursuit of effect, use hyaluronic acid injections as fillers, and the cost of such a procedure also reaches one to two million. In the surgery Mirror had just performed, ording to the regr fees of Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital and for an operation with imnts, it would be around one hundred and fifty thousand, but Mirror didn¡¯t believe his own surgery should be priced at that. Mirror believed that this was his ownbor, and offering it cheaply would simply not do his product justice. This was also a dismissal and desecration of his own skill! So Mirror did not hesitate this time: ¡°One million! Inclusive of all expenses, one million. If anyplications arise, you cane to me.¡± Fu Yufang and Fu Yn were also slightly taken aback. Indeed, not cheap! But, Fu Yn did not hesitate, ¡°Alright, one million I think is worth it! Dr. Chen, when should I pay you?¡± Mirror shook his head, ¡°No rush, wait until you¡¯ve recovered well after five days, and¡­ have a feel for it, if you feel satisfied, then pay me.¡± This type of surgery, Mirror wouldn¡¯t perform very often, but whenever he did, he naturally wanted to achieve his own level of perfection. Fu Yn nodded, while Fu Yufang seemed to be thinking deeply, also eager to try.
    She had spent over four hundred thousand on her cosmetic procedures, and naturally, was somewhat dissatisfied with that particr area. Now, the results of Fu Yn¡¯s surgery had even more solidified Fu Yufang¡¯s resolve! Must do it! Absolutely must! It¡¯s just one million, right? Just ask Old Guo for it. After all, no matter what she went through, the end beneficiary of the ¡°product¡± was him, so who else but him should be footing the bill? He doesn¡¯t spend on inte celebrities or streamers, what¡¯s this amount of money to him? With this thought, Fu Yufang became even more resolved in her decision. The reason Mirror set this price, firstly, was because he didn¡¯t want to be bogged down with various issues. Doing one such surgery was very time-consuming and energy-draining. If he only got three to five hundred thousand, it wouldn¡¯t be any different from doing surgery on ordinary people. One million is a threshold. Not many people can spend one million on such surgery, which naturally forms an exclusive circle. Secondly, it is about getting what you pay for. Your one-million product and a three-hundred-thousand product are fundamentally different. Many people don¡¯t understand the product, but they can understand the price. The price, subtly, makes people think that the effect of a one-million product naturally can¡¯t bepared to a three-hundred-thousand one.
    Moreover, those willing to spend one million on this understand why they do it.N?v(el)B\\jnn Medical aesthetics and healthcare are two different circles within the same industry. One is akin to a necessity for living, while the other is a luxury. Hospitals often see ordinary people who look down on illness, as well as those who are impoverished or impoverished due to illness, but when have you ever heard of someone going bankrupt because of stic surgery? (Exorcism sign for the nitpickers!) ps: Because of chapter 189 being blocked, I had to modify the chapter, leading to only two chapters being released this morning, which pains me deeply. I hope the big shots can understand the public sentiment and notice the finer details. I¡¯ve also be cautious, so I try not to write certain words. Just understand the implication! Chapter 191: 192: Its Quite Nice to Be a Salted Fish That Can Win by Lying Down (Please Subscribe!) Chapter 191: Chapter 192: It¡¯s Quite Nice to Be a Salted Fish That Can Win by Lying Down (Please Subscribe!) Zhang Zhixin heard that Chen Cang had performed a bear augmentation surgery and almost exploded with anger! He picked up the phone and called Chen Cang right away! Unfortunately, no one answered! This made Zhang Zhixin panic, this rascal was really getting out of hand, he had only learned for a few days and dared to perform bear augmentation surgery! You¡¯d be lucky you haven¡¯t seen me perform general surgery, otherwise you¡¯d be out of this world! After waiting impatiently until the end of the workday, Zhang Zhixin hurriedly drove back to the aesthetic medicine hospital and rushed upstairs with urgency. Chen Cang hadn¡¯t returned yet and was sitting in his office, thoughtfully reading a paper by Qin Yue published in ¡°Liver Transntation¡±. When should he take the time to activate Qian Liang¡¯s Master¡¯s Mandate? Zhang Zhixin burst in, panting and said, ¡°Chen Cang! You little¡­ Why did you go and do a bear augmentation surgery on your own! And for Fu Yufang¡¯s sister at that! You really are¡­¡± Chen Cang saw Zhang Zhixin leaning against the door, out of breath and struggling to speak smoothly.
    He sighed, ¡°Boss Zhang, aren¡¯t youfortable sitting at home and collecting money as a boss? You even came all this way!¡± Zhang Zhixin¡¯s eyelid twitched uncontrobly, being with Chen Cang was truly an exercise in patience. ¡°If I didn¡¯te over, you might have torn the aesthetic hospital down¡­¡± ¡°Do you know how to perform breast augmentation surgery?! Big brother, my lord, can you please take it easy from now on?¡± Before Zhang Zhixin finished speaking, Fu Yufang suddenly pushed the door and entered. Fu Yufang saw the two seemed to be in the midst of an intense argument and gave an awkward smile, ¡°Am I interrupting something?¡± Zhang Zhixin saw that it was the wealthy Mrs. Fu and immediately smiled, ¡°No, no, just an academic discussion!¡± Fu Yufang gave a slight smile, ¡°It¡¯s good to be educated. My husband Guo is all about money all day long, always talking about buying this and that, it¡¯s driving me nuts!¡± Zhang Zhixin was stunned, I too want to talk about money, but¡­ I need to have money first! Chen Cang suddenly realized why they call someone a poor schr, they¡¯re all so poor, how can they not be bitter? Even if you don¡¯t want to be bitter, faced with this kind of ostentatious wealth unting, could you not be? Zhang Zhixinughed, ¡°Just a casual chat, so¡­ Miss Fu, you¡¯re here for¡­?¡± Fu Yufang hurriedly pulled out a card from her bag and said embarrassedly, ¡°Dr. Chen, let¡¯s settle the surgery fee first, we¡¯re old friends now, and we trust Dr. Chen. And besides, we¡¯ll have more interaction in the future.¡± After Chen Cang left earlier, Fu Yufang and Fu Yn had a brief chat. Fu Yufang still felt it was more appropriate to pay Chen Cang first, after all, the surgery was already done, and as for the aftermath, they could deal with the consequences if there were anyter, one thing at a time. One million is not a small amount, but it¡¯s not too much either. Once she undergoes the bear enhancement surgery, totaling two million, it¡¯s like buying a new car for her husband. After all, the car also costs two million. Thinking about it, Fu Yufang¡¯s face blushed. Plus, she was nning to undergo the procedure herself soon, to leave a good impression on Chen Cang. Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Sister Fu, it¡¯s all the same.¡± Fu Yufang also smiled, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve been working hard for so long, and the surgery fee is definitely what it should be. Besides, I¡¯m sure there¡¯s no problem¡ªI just checked, and it¡¯s really beautiful! Even I, as a woman, was tempted for a long time, so in this regard, one million is truly not expensive! Honestly, it¡¯s worth it!¡±
    Zhang Zhixin was stunned, unable to interject in their conversation. Wait a second¡­ What one million? Zhang Zhixin suddenly felt dumbfounded!
    What thing costs one million? Zhang Zhixin suddenly realized, Chen Cang¡­ you¡­ one million for a breast augmentation surgery? Why don¡¯t you shoot for the stars! Damn it! Chen Cang, you must be thinking I¡¯ve had too smooth a ride recently, not enough trouble, right? If something goes wrong, how much will it cost topensate? Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin felt his health deteriorating even further. Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Wait, Miss Fu, how much is this? One million? Could there be some misunderstanding?¡± Fu Yufang was momentarily startled, then quickly shook her head, ¡°No, I think the price is quite fair. You get what you pay for, and I think Dr. Chen¡¯s skills are worth one million!¡± ¡°Just like facial stic surgery, I did spend 400,000 on mine, not cheap, but it¡¯s miles different from those Inte celebrity faces on the streets. When my mother-inw came back, she didn¡¯t scold me but instead praised how well I maintain myself!¡± ¡°So, you get what you pay for, Dr. Chen¡¯s one million is not expensive at all!¡± Zhang Zhixin forced himself to calm down, realizing he truly had a generational gap in the concept of money with the wealthy Mrs. Fu! Maybe¡­ perhaps¡­ I underestimated the value of my own work?
    Or is my self-awareness not clear enough? Thinking this, Zhang Zhixin felt he needed to learn from Chen Cang. How on earth can you please a wealthy woman, so that she gleefully hands over her money to you! Combining these experiences¡­ Chen Cang must be well-versed in this art. Seeing Fu Yufang so satisfied, Zhang Zhixin finally felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. During their conversation, Fu Yufang said, ¡°Doctor Chen, let¡¯s go settle the bill.¡± In a state of bewilderment, Zhang Zhixin watched as Chen Cang went with Fu Yufang to take care of the payment. Afterward, Chen Cang gave some instructions on matters Fu Yn needed to pay attention to. Once Fu Yufang had left, Zhang Zhixin immediately pulled Chen Cang aside, ¡°Do you really know how to perform breast augmentation surgery?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I couldn¡¯t possibly cause trouble for Boss Zhang here, could I?¡± Zhang Zhixin was somewhat baffled, ¡°That¡¯s not right, you haven¡¯t done it on your own, have you? Although¡­ you have been learning with me for a while, right? You¡¯ve done no more than three or five cases altogether, how did you learn?¡± Chen Cang pondered for a moment, ¡°I think it must be because Boss Zhang teaches well, and I learn quickly.¡± With the statement that he taught well, Zhang Zhixin waspletely lost for words.
    Although it sounded pleasing, something felt off. Do I have a clue about my own level of expertise? In any case, as long as there were noplications, that was fine, but he would need to checkter how Chen Cang managed to charm one million out of the procedure! Back in his office, Zhang Zhixin was still puzzled, so he leaned in eagerly, ¡°Chen, you have to teach me!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback, ¡°What?¡± Zhang Zhixin gave a fawning smile, ¡°Stop pretending, just tell me, how did you do it? 100 million for a breast job, my goodness, that¡¯s more than I make from ten! Did I used to charge too little?¡± Chen Cang gave a slight smile, ¡°The surgery fee is 10 million, the rest, 90 million, is mine, so don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Zhang Zhixin nodded eagerly, ¡°Yes, yes, keeping business and personal separate, I understand that, but¡­ you must teach me, how to deal with wealthy women? I feel I¡¯mcking in that area!¡± Chen Cang looked at him stunned for a moment before speaking earnestly, ¡°Boss Zhang, that¡¯s not right. We make our living with skills, not by deceiving people.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll understand why I charge 150,000 when you see Fu Yn¡¯s results. Oh, and here¡¯s the photo from before the surgery, go take a look.¡± Zhang Zhixin, hearing this, took the photo and had a look, hmm, a ssic case of hypomastia, and rather a severe one. Even with cosmetic treatment, it would be challenging¡­ Moreover¡­ even with surgery, the results wouldn¡¯t be very noticeable. After some thought, he decided to go up and see Fu Yn for himself. After knocking and entering, Zhang Zhixin nodded to exin his visit, ¡°I was at the hospital today, didn¡¯t manage toe over, this¡­ Yn, let me see how you¡¯re doing.¡±
    Fu Yn nodded, unashamed, slowly unfastening the dressing on her chest. To be honest, even for Zhang Zhixin, who was experienced and specialized in this field, he was taken aback upon seeing Fu Yn¡¯s results! So beautiful! So exquisite! So natural and delicate. Although it was right after surgery, this kind of naturally perfect look certainly wasn¡¯t something the average person could achieve.N?v(el)B\\jnn And the symmetry of both sides, the handling of details, the steadiness of the position, the proportioning of the design¡­ The more Zhang Zhixin looked, the more amazed he was, the more he felt awed and humbled! ¡­ As he left, Zhang Zhixin sighed deeply. He finally understood why Chen Cang dared to charge a million for the surgery. Zhang Zhixin was a professional himself, and well aware of the difficulties of surgery. To achieve what Chen Cang managed, you¡¯d need the experience of thousands of surgeries; otherwise, you were basically dreaming! With such surgical oues, he would also dare to charge a million if it were his own work. But the crux of the matter was that he himself couldn¡¯t produce such results for a million-dor makeover. That was the most important point. This was the difference! Reflecting on this, Zhang Zhixin couldn¡¯t help but sigh, beginning to doubt his life choices. Both just humans, both surgeons by training, yet why is there such a vast gap between people? However, this self-doubt was quickly dispelled after Chen Cang treated him to several skewers of kidneys, chives, and oysters. Actually, following Chen Cang and being a salted fish wasn¡¯t so bad¡­ ¡°Ah! Boss, bring another two tes of kidneys!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 192: 193: Such High Pretentiousness! (Please Subscribe!) 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 cardiovascr 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 disyed a staff list, and Chen Cang saw Meng Xi¡¯s name ranked third. The first name was Xia Gaofeng, the chief director of cardiovascr surgery, and the second was Zhou Qiwen, the deputy director. Reading this staff wall, Chen Cang gained a general understanding of the cardiovascr surgery department at Dongda Hospital.
    This was a department with historical depth and very strongprehensive 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 itsprehensive 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 im the top spot. Inparison, 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 thetter 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, apanied 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 disy of professionalism momentarily stunned Chen Cang; they were actually using English for the shift handover! Very high-end, indeed. In fact, this was not umon in the medicalmunity. 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 handoversted 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 Ennd 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 whiteb 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. ncing around the room, his gaze immediately locked onto a woman. Meng Xi.
    ¡°` ¡°` There was no mistake, even dressed in a professional whiteb 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, havinge 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 be 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 hade 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 rtively pleasing to the eye, someone she could work withfortably. 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, havinge 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 pointpared to others.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 anguage 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 butugh. ¡°` Chapter 193: 194: Chen Cang is Awesome! (Please Subscribe) 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, secretlyzing 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 ce 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 chillingugh 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 be 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 patientsst 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 trante 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., apanied by persistent low blood pressure, narrowed pulse pressure, signs of insufficient tissue perfusion, and oliguria. Doctor He was on callst night, suspected left ventricr underload due to postoperative low-level urination, and finally administered diuretic and vasodtors 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 bepletely open with you in the days toe!¡±
    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 n for heart and major blood vessel aortic dissection and regarding the prevention of intraoperativeplications. 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 ept 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 p 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 apuding!
    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: 195: Banana Mud Seat Man PK (Extra 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!N?v(el)B\\jnn The doctors around were all exchanging nces; 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 trantion, 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 vascr 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 nced 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 weremon practice tools in surgery, mainly used for practicing the vascr 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 regrly held these small-scale suturingpetitions 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 nced thoughtfully at Ge Huai and smiled, ¡°Doctor Ge, why don¡¯t youpete 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 ce in the department¡¯s vascr suturingpetitions, 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 ept! PK task. It looked thrilling. Chen Cang knew he was fast, but he had neverpared with other men to see who was faster! Therefore, Chen Cang looked up and nced at the somewhat lean Ge Huai, filled with intense interest. At this, once thepetition 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,e 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 aremon, ranging frompeting over how many surgical knots one can tie within a minute to simting special surgical skillsparisons are everywhere. And this kind ofpetition is positive, constantly breaking through one¡¯s own limits throughparison 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 oue of thispetition, 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 be a graduate student. Compared to the result of thepetition, 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 nced 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 195: 196: The Thought Alone is Thrilling (Second Update for 1000+ Monthly Tickets) Chapter 195: Chapter 196: The Thought Alone is Thrilling (Second Update for 1000+ Monthly Tickets) Thepetition was tense! It was fierce! Thepetition touched everyone¡¯s heart¡­n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Qian Lin looked eagerly at Chen Cang, silently cheering him on in his mind. Brother, your performance directly concerns Qian someone¡¯s future and happiness. You¡¯re not fighting alone! And everyone else was hoping Ge Huai could break the record! Although it wasn¡¯t a big deal, it was still a fun thing. Time ticked by, second by second. Everyone watched the clock nervously: ¡°It¡¯s broken! It¡¯s broken!¡± ¡°Come on, Teacher Ge! It¡¯s going to break!¡± ¡°The record is broken!¡±
    ¡°Damn! Teacher Ge is awesome! He¡¯s refreshed his personal record again, 2 minutes 46 seconds! Awesome!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey, why are you all silent? Teacher Ge broke the record!¡± The timer looked bewilderedly at everyone. Everyone was staring at Chen Cang with their mouths agape, their eyes filled with disbelief! ¡°This¡­ this is too quick!¡± ¡°Right?! I just nced and he had sewn a few stitches, that speed is just terrifying¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s even faster than our Teacher Ge!¡± ¡°Yes, how long did it take?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know¡­ probably just over two minutes?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see? Almost half a minute after he finished, Teacher Ge had justpleted the suture!¡± ¡­ ¡­ All the doctors present were dumbfounded. Everyone originally thought that Doctor Ge Huai would add another one to his ¡®banana mud seat human skin series¡¯ with Chen Cang. But unexpectedly¡­ this youngster was so fast! Thinking back to the suturing scene just now, many doctors found it hard to believe, doubting their own eyes. Too fast! So young and yet so fast, what woulde next? With this in mind, many male doctors felt a little downhearted. ¡°The youth to be feared, the new waves of the Yangtze River pushing the old waves, each generation is faster than thest!¡±
    While the female doctors were all filled with regret, letting out a deep sigh, too fast¡­ Qian Lin could say he watched Chen Cang from the beginning to the end! He was the one with the most right to speak. Looking at Chen Cang¡¯s operation, Qian Lin just wanted to ask Chen Cang one question, brother, how many years have you been single? I, Qian someone, always thought that these hands of mine were marvelous, but I didn¡¯t expect yours to be even sharper!
    Truly impressive! Meng Xi watched Chen Cang¡¯s hands for a long time without speaking, his eyes full ofplexity. Suddenly, he couldn¡¯t help but swallow saliva! What amazing hands! From the beginning, Meng Xi had felt it, enduring and stable, his hands not trembling at all when holding the needle holder, even when startled by Director Xia, his hands were still undisturbed. Steady and enduring! That¡¯s a basic quality that a surgeon must have. And following the suturing, Meng Xi was awestruck. What flexible hands, watching Chen Cang¡¯s fingers flipping, continuously suturing and hooking, suturing, hooking, knotting¡­ this series of motions were smooth and powerful, those slender fingers, that astonishing frequency, thoseplex angles¡­ ¡°Gulp!¡± Meng Xi couldn¡¯t help but swallow another gulp of saliva! What a terrifying pair of hands! Looking at Chen Cang again, Meng Xi¡¯s eyes were fixed on Chen Cang¡¯s hands resting on his thighs, and he found it difficult to let go. These were a surgeon¡¯s hands! With this thought, Meng Xi felt a me called desire flickering in his eyes. Yes!
    This was what he wanted! And finally, he had waited until the end. Xia Gaofeng took a deep breath and finally exhaled¡­ This kid, he¡¯s gone easy on us! That¡¯s right. Xia Gaofeng could tell in an instant that Chen Cang¡¯s initial suturing speed was very fast. After maintaining it for a while, he clearly looked up at Ge Huai and then deliberately slowed down. Even so, he still finished a full half-minute ahead of Ge Huai. He really is impressive! But why did this kid pause at the beginning? Was it on purpose, to let Ge Huai catch up? With this thought, Xia Gaofeng couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Kid, why did you pause at the beginning?¡± Chen Cang was stunned! Tsk! You cunning old fox, you have the nerve to ask? We agreed on a fairpetition¡­ You cheated, who knew you would shout so loudly!
    Though that¡¯s what he thought, Chen Cang scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile, ¡°I¡­ I was startled by the director.¡± As soon as he said this, everyone burst outughing. Xia Gaofeng¡¯s old face flushed with embarrassment, and he smiled awkwardly, ¡°Young man, you did well, your quick suturing is really good!¡± After saying that, Xia Gaofeng took the two molds and began to examine them. After all, suturing is not just about speed; the quality of the suture is even more important. Blindly chasing speed is definitely not a habit of a mature surgeon. Speed must be built upon stability. He didn¡¯t look at Chen Cang¡¯s first but looked at Ge Huai¡¯s. After checking, he smiled and said, ¡°Ge Huai, not bad, your suturing density and speed have significantly improved. Very impressive indeed.¡± Originally very disappointed, Ge Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being upstaged by such a young man was not going to make anyone happy! ¡°Thank you, Director, I will continue to work hard!¡± It was then that Xia Gaofeng said thoughtfully, ¡°Alright, everyone hurry up and get back to work. Young man, you need to take your suturing more seriously from now on.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was too fast, overlooking the quality of the sutures. Ge Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief!
    Ge Huai is very ambitious. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t keep improving his suturing skills to maintain his position as the number one in the department. A small incident can reveal a lot about a person¡¯s character. At this moment, Xia Gaofeng looked meaningfully at Meng Xi and passed him the mold, ¡°This is the young man¡¯s; take a look.¡± Meng Xi nodded; he had noticed Chen Cang¡¯s suturing was very meticulous. Although the director had just said those words, it was only after seeing Ge Huai¡¯s reaction that he truly understood. Ge Huai took winning and losing too seriously, so being struck down by Chen Cang might affect his work and mood, which is not conducive to his growth. That¡¯s why Xia Gaofeng had said what he did. Xia Gaofeng looked at Meng Xi thoughtfully and nodded, ¡°He¡¯s a very promising young man, Meng Xi; you should really consider him.¡± After finishing his words, Xia Gaofeng gave Chen Cang a thumbs up and whispered, ¡°Young man, impressive!¡± [Ding! PK victory, randomly obtain Ge Huai¡­ Ding! Dropped 5 favorability points from Meng Xi.] [Ding! Obtained +5 favorability points from Meng Xi!] Chen Cang was startled! Holy cow? Can it really work like this? Favorability points can drop from a PK; this is a bit¡­ Chen Cang thought of something terrifying. What if, in a pinnacle PK showdown with some vile viin, he identally defeats the other party, and suddenly gains¡­ +90 favorability points from the viin¡¯s wife? That would be¡­ quite thrilling, wouldn¡¯t it? Defeating not only the opponent¡¯s body but also shattering the viin¡¯s spirit¡­ Just thinking about it feels so exhrating¡­ ¡­ Ps: Just five updates for today, don¡¯t miss me. Chapter 196: 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 be a bit softer and more longing¡­ Wait a minute! Chen Cang mmed 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 tform and level, while a sense of defeates 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 be 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 Schrs, 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 summonsing from the nurses¡¯ station, Meng Xi, who was about to speak, hesitated briefly and quickly got up to follow Ge Huai out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 upb reports or sitting around chatting, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Stop tearing upb 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 upb 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 ying by the rules, and even due to special circumstances, about one-third of clinical cases get their surgery dyed or postponed. A perfectly arranged surgery can be suddenly cancelled upon finding abnormal fluctuations inboratory indicators because there are already various emergencies that can ur 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 ufortable chest oppression during moderate activities and exertion, apanied by weakness and sweating. The local People¡¯s Hospital diagnosed him with coronary heart disease, heart failure, and dted cardiomyopathy. Treatment alleviated the symptoms, but they worsened a week ago. After admission, cardiac color Doppler ultrasonography showed ergement of all cardiac chambers, weakened movement of the left ventricr wall, EF24%, and suspected dted cardiomyopathy.¡± Meng Xi frowned slightly, ¡°The patient from Friday¡­ Have you checked the physiological and biochemicalb indices?¡± Ge Huai replied, ¡°The medical orders were ced on Friday; the results should be out. I haven¡¯t seen them yet; I¡¯ll get theb 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 contemtion. 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 197: 198: A Horse, A Sweat-Blood Treasure Horse! (Requesting Monthly Pass) Chapter 197: Chapter 198: A Horse, A Sweat-Blood Treasure Horse! (Requesting Monthly Pass) Chen Cang returned to the ward to find the patient had stopped seizing, suggesting that the convulsions were episodic. Meng Xi took the medical record folder from Chen Cang and casually flipped through theb reports and imaging results. Then, bending over, he said to the patient, ¡°I¡¯m going to examine you, lie t and keep your hip and knee joints extended.¡± Meng Xi held the patient¡¯s ankle in his left hand and took out a pen from his pocket, using the blunt end to swiftly draw a light stroke from theteral ntar region forward to the base of the little toe, and then turned towards the side of the big toe. The patient¡¯s big toe dorsiflexed and the other four toes spread apart in a fan shape. Chen Cang gave a start ¨C a positive Babinski sign? A slight smile appeared on Meng Xi¡¯s lips. Although he had not yet made a definite diagnosis, he already had a fairly good idea. The patient seemed a bit anxious, ¡°Doctor¡­ what¡¯s wrong with me? Why did my hands and feet suddenly start twitching?¡± Meng Xi reassured, ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m waiting for Doctor Ge to bring theb report.¡± Meng Xi could actually make a conclusion now, but to be on the safe side, he still wanted to wait for theb results toe out.
    A group of graduate students in clinical training, dressed in white coats and holding notebooks, nervously entered the ward, also curious as to what kind of heart disease could cause convulsions? After entering, they obediently lined up against the wall, leaving the aisle on both sides of the bed clear, fully aware that they wouldn¡¯t be able to help if the patient had anyplications¡ªthese spots near the bed and in the aisle were prime positions, reserved for the experts. They were there just to quietly observe the experts in action! Soon after, Ge Huai came running in with a long string ofb results, not even having had the chance to tear them apart. ¡°Director Meng, take a look, here are theb results.¡± Meng Xi took theb results, scanning through them quickly, and rxed ¨C just as he had suspected. Meng Xi asked Ge Huai, ¡°What medications have been administered these past few days?¡± Ge Huai paused, slightly taken aback, ¡°Currently, we are mainly using digitalis, along with diuretics, to prevent heart failure.¡± After hearing this, Meng Xi frowned and turned to ask, ¡°What were your treatment considerations after the patient was admitted to the ward?¡± With Meng Xi¡¯s question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly grew serious!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Caught off guard by Meng Xi¡¯s question, Ge Huai was momentarily at a loss for words, ¡°The patient¡¯s ECG showed ST-segment prolongation, low T-waves and the echocardiogram clearly revealed an erged ventricr cavity, thickened septum, reduced pulsation, as well as mitral valve regurgitation and significant pericardial effusion. So, I considered primarily treating the heart condition since theb results weren¡¯t out at the time¡­¡± Before Ge Huai could finish exining, Meng Xi interjected, ¡°Now the results are here, take a look. What do you think is the situation?¡± Ge Huai¡¯s face turned red; he had already understood on his way over, ¡°This is likely due to thebined effects of low calcium and low blood magnesium levels, which caused excitability-contraction coupling in the myocardial fibers, and the low calcium affecting the electrophysiological properties of cardiac muscle cells, inducing arrhythmia.¡± ¡°The patient has had long-term hypocalcemia, which should be the main cause of abnormal limb sensations or muscr cramps and even convulsions.¡± The surrounding graduate students suddenly had an epiphany. So that¡¯s how it is! Withoutmenting, Meng Xi turned to Chen Cang, ¡°What should the normal blood calcium level be, and specifically, what is its use?¡± Chen Cang was taken aback. You¡¯re making me show off again¡­ My physiological and biochemical metrics are under the tutge of Professor Fang Yonglin; this is one of the only two perfect-level skills I possess!
    Without any hesitation, Chen Cang blurted out, ¡°The normal blood calcium level in adults is 2.25~2.75 mmol/L. Calcium in the body has important functions: it is an essentialponent of bones and teeth. It also helps to maintain the normal function of nerves, muscles, and the myocardium, andstly, it is involved in blood coagtion.¡± Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang askance, his face calm and somewhat surprised. The surrounding graduate students were bbergasted ¨C had this big shot rehearsed beforehand? Definitely!
    Ever since you started your shift today, this is the third time you¡¯ve showed off. There¡¯s a limit to everything¡­ Aren¡¯t you going a bit too far? You¡¯re making us graduates look like fools¡­ You must have reviewed the materials or rehearsed in advance ¨C today looks like a staged y. The students felt a twinge of emotion. Are you not considering our feelings at all in your showboating? Memorizing the normal blood calcium levels while we¡¯re still memorizing routine blood tests ¨C are you already on to memorizing electrolyte values? Memorizing indicators is one of the essential qualities required of clinical medical students, especially in emergency medicine, where one should have a good grasp ofmonb reports. Meng Xi handed theb report to Chen Cang, ¡°Take a look. What information can you gather from theb report?¡± Chen Cang casually reviewed theb report and immediately furrowed his brow slightly. This might not be a simple heart condition. Chen Cang looked up slightly, ¡°Professor Meng, this might be a case of hypoparathyroidism-induced cardiopathy!¡± Upon hearing this, Meng Xi could not help but pause. The surrounding group of students looked at each other bewildered, exchanging nces in confusion.
    ¡°What is this thing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look at me, how the hell should I know what this thing is!¡± ¡°I know about the parathyroid nds, and I know about heart disease, but why don¡¯t I recognize them when they¡¯re lumped together?¡± ¡°What are you staring at, staring at me is going to make me get it?¡± After gazing for a long time, everyone reached a final consensus! This guy is going to put on a bigger act than all of the first threebined! Are we, a group of graduate students, really going to be upstaged by an undergraduate??? At this thought, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and destion¡­ When Ge Huai heard what Chen Cang had said, he suddenly recalled the term! A very rare disease! He hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly took over theb report, scrutinized it carefully, reflected for a while, and connected it with all the patient¡¯s symptoms. The more he looked, the clearer and more rming it became! Finally, he had an epiphany! Right!
    Why hadn¡¯t he thought of it himself? This kid is really impressive! Meanwhile, Chen Cang was somewhat stunned; he noticed nobody was paying attention to him. Did he perhapsck an audience? Shouldn¡¯t there be some voices of doubt? I¡¯m putting on such an act; there should at least be someone for me to prove wrong. After waiting a few seconds and seeing no one spoke, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed. This act, five out of ten¡­ not passing! Nevertheless, Chen Cang still felt they should finish speaking, ¡°The patient may have idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. This disease is rare, but usually sporadic and linked to immunity. ording to theboratory indicators, although the proportion of the patient¡¯s lymphocytes is normal, this ratio is very simr to that of patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.¡± ¡°The patient¡¯s blood calcium is only 1.9, phosphorus elevated to 1.59, and blood serum immunoactive parathyroid hormone is virtually undetectable.¡± ¡°A reduction in the patient¡¯s PTH can affect myocardial contractility, and just as Professor Ge said, low blood calcium and magnesium affect myocardial fibre contraction. Therefore, I suspect it is hypoparathyroid heart disease.¡± ¡°When calcium is low, the excretion of sodium ions decreases, and the retention of water and sodium can increase the cardiac burden. The patient already has reduced renal function, so¡­ looking at it this way, Professor Ge¡¯s treatment is not problematic.¡± ¡°However, if we were tobine it with some calcium supplementation, such as oral vitamin D3 or Rocaltrol, the effect might be even better, and it might even alleviate the heart failure!¡± After Chen Cang had finished speaking in one breath, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Flexing without an audience to prove wrong is utterly meaningless¡­
    No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking¡ª Apuse broke out from outside the door. ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡± Xia Gaofeng walked in excitedly, his eyes brimming with pleasure and joy. Indeed, a truly outstanding talent¡ªa one-in-a-million thoroughbred! To be frank, it had been a long time since Xia Gaofeng had encountered such an insightful and capable student. That wasn¡¯t an exaggeration at all. Firstly, his practical skills were extremely strong, with a good foundation in suturing, and now his analysis of diseases, especially the analysis of physiological biochemicalboratory indicators, was thorough to the utmost extent. These abilities, whenbined and analyzed, could fully reveal a person¡¯s clinical thinking and surgical talent! At that thought, Xia Gaofeng watched Chen Cang with satisfaction: ¡°Not bad! Your analysis is quite reasoned!¡± At Xia Gaofeng¡¯s level, many diseases are crystal clear to him, having seen too many, even a rare disease like hypoparathyroidism didn¡¯t seem so unusual. But for Ge Huai, it might indeed be very rare. What should one fear about diseases? It¡¯s thebination that¡¯s frightening! Once a bunch of diseases are stacked together, it bes very difficult to clearly discern the patient¡¯s real condition. Yet Chen Cang was able to analyze hypoparathyroid heart disease from a cardiothoracicb report. That was trulymendable! s¡­ The thought that such a student wasn¡¯t his filled him with pain. Chapter 198: 199: Hidden Occupation, So Tempting! (Seeking monthly passes!) Chapter 198: Chapter 199: Hidden upation, 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 y 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 innguage, math, and foreign affairs. (Language refers to foreignnguages, 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 eximed, ¡°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 awkwardugh, ¡°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 ted, ¡°Thank you, Teacher!¡± [Ding! Hidden task, ¡®Bing Meng Xi¡¯s Disciple¡¯pleted!] [Congrattions! 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,plete 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 thest 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 wasden with fruit, each one glowing with a purple hue¡ªthese were clearly purple skills!
    And, asionally, 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 sessfully obtained, the skill will directly be 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 bbergasted. Does this mean I don¡¯t need to upgrade skills?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 hade to see things clearly. To get skills! You¡¯ve got to win over Teacher Meng¡¯s goodwill points! I have to y 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 vige. 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 199: 200: Is Chen Cang the Same Chen Cang? (Extra for Hall Master Together with Readers) Chapter 199: Chapter 200: Is Chen Cang the Same Chen Cang? (Extra for Hall Master Together with Readers) Qian Lin hummed a tune as he arrived at Qian Liang¡¯s office door, where he hesitated for a long time before beginning to muster up emotion. It must be said that some people are naturally gifted. And Qian Lin¡¯s acting should be rated at about seven or eight stars. Within less than a minute, Qian Lin¡¯s emotions hadpleted a journey from triumphant to jubnt to indifferent and then to a sigh of despair and crying¡­ That¡¯s the feeling, should be fine now, he thought as he knocked on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± The authoritative voice came through, and Qian Lin sniffled a few times, trying hard to make his eyes look more moist. Then he pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Qian Lin felt that his facial expression deserved a perfect score.
    Qian Liang was taken aback as he saw Qian Lin entering with a face that suggested his world had ended. Seeing Qian Lin¡¯s state, Qian Liang didn¡¯t feel the slightest pity; instead, he felt like bursting out inughter. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Qian Liang struggled to hold back hisughter, coughing once before asking. Qian Lin took a deep breath and sat down beside his uncle, self-absorbed: ¡°Uncle, am I really that bad?¡± Qian Liang pondered for a moment: ¡°Hmm, a little, yes.¡± Qian Lin: ¡­%%& With a heavy sigh, Qian Lin said, ¡°I¡¯m so inadequate. Uncle, I¡¯ve embarrassed you, truly. I don¡¯t mind losing face myself, but I¡¯m afraid of embarrassing you!¡± This piqued Qian Liang¡¯s curiosity. He had a good understanding of Qian Lin; although shameless, this man was capable. Both in terms of medical knowledge and overall quality, he was quite impressive. With this in mind, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What happened?¡± Qian Lin let out a sigh: ¡°I was looked down upon by Teacher Meng Xi.¡± On hearing it was this, Qian Liang smiled, ¡°Oh, little Meng, haha, it¡¯s normal to be rejected. She¡¯s young and has high standards. Only thirty years old and already a doctoral supervisor, so it¡¯s natural that she¡¯s picky with students.¡± ¡°Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do, I¡¯ll have a word with little Meng. After all, she needs to take on students, and since she has a bit of a liking for you, why not just have her supervise you?¡± At this point, Qian Liangughed and said to Qian Lin, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to the department of cardiothoracic surgery.¡± At that, Qian Lin¡¯s expression changed, and he suddenly became rmed, ¡°No no no¡­ that¡¯s not what I meant, Uncle. This is a hospital, and you¡¯re the Executive Vice President. Every word and action of yours is being watched by countless people. You can¡¯t neglect your public duties for my private problems!¡± ¡°If my parents knew I had hindered your work over my own issues, they¡¯d kill me.¡± Qian Liang waved his hand dismissively: ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine, it¡¯s not a big deal. Initially, it was I who brought little Meng here. Besides, she hasn¡¯t taken a liking to any student yet.¡± Hearing this, Qian Lin quickly interrupted Qian Liang: ¡°Uncle, I was beaten in apetition. Teacher Meng already has a student now!¡± When Qian Liang heard that Meng Xi had taken on a student, he suddenly became intrigued, ¡°Oh? Who is it? Someone who caught Meng Xi¡¯s eye and managed to beat you.¡±
    Qian Lin took a deep breath: ¡°That guy is really handsome! The incredibly handsome type, and besides, what¡¯s most important is that he¡¯s extremely capable.¡± ¡°During the cardiothoracic surgery handover, they use English, and as a result¡­¡± Qian Lin went on to add his own dramatic ir to the narration! After listening, Qian Liang looked at Qian Lin seriously and said, ¡°Xiaolin, boasting isn¡¯t a good habit¡­¡±
    Qian Lin was dumbfounded; this wasn¡¯t going ording to the script. He quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s true, this Chen Cang is very impressive, he¡­¡± At the mention of ¡°Chen Cang,¡± Qian Liang suddenly froze, cutting off Qian Lin¡¯s words, ¡°Wait, who did you say?¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Qian Lin widened his eyes: ¡°Chen Cang! Oh, the onepeting with me.¡± Once Qian Liang confirmed it, he grew suspicious. Was this Chen Cang the same person he knew? With that in mind, Qian Liang picked up the phone and dialed the university graduate office, ¡°Hello? This is Qian Liang.¡± Guan Wei heard and chuckled, ¡°Vice-Chancellor Qian, hello.¡± Not only was Qian Liang the deputy dean of the First Hospital of East University, but he was also the dean of the Clinical College at Dongyang Medical University, and held the position of vice-chancellor at the university. His multiple roles and significant influence were no exaggeration. Qian Liang grunted in acknowledgement, ¡°Guan, I need to ask you something. Do we have a student named Chen Cang among this year¡¯s graduates? Do you know anything about him?¡± Guan Wei was startled. Why was Vice-Chancellor Qian inquiring about Chen Cang out of the blue? Could Vice-Chancellor Qian have gotten wind of the matter concerning Chen Cang¡¯s admission quota? Only then did Guan Wei speak honestly, ¡°Vice-Chancellor Qian, I haven¡¯t yet reported this to you, but Chen Cang is a new graduate student this year. His spot was personally secured by the dean of the Second Provincial Hospital, Qin Xiaoyuan.¡± Upon hearing Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s name, Qian Liang felt that there was no escaping it, ¡°Is this Chen Cang the same one from the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital?¡±
    Guan Wei was taken aback ¨C how did Vice-Chancellor Qian know Chen Cang? In Qian Liang¡¯s eyes, shouldn¡¯t Chen Cang be just an insignificant little figure? ¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s the Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital.¡± Understanding, Qian Liang replied, ¡°Hmm, I see. Well, Guan, if there¡¯s any news about Chen Cang, let me know. Give me a heads up about his matters. Also, for the opening ceremony of this year¡¯s graduates, prepare a speech for me. It¡¯s been several years since Ist participated, but this year I must make a trip.¡± Guan Wei nodded hastily, ¡°Of course, of course. It¡¯s our pleasure, Vice-Chancellor Qian. I¡¯ll prepare it and report to you in advance.¡± After hanging up the phone, Qian Liang remained silent for quite some time. That Qin Xiaoyuan was really something. Qian Liang had been considering offering Chen Cang a graduate spot next year, taking him on as a prot¨¦g¨¦ along the way. However, he had not anticipated Qin Xiaoyuan acting so swiftly! To arrange a spot for Chen Cang this year must have taken quite an effort, hadn¡¯t it? What a miscalction! Such an outstanding kid, yet not one of his own students. Thinking this, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat dejected. s¡­ Whenparing him to Qian Lin, it was no surprise, considering Chen Cang was handsome, neat and clean, a young fellow who was capable and quick-witted, excellent in surgery, earnest and ambitious, humble and polite¡­Meng Xi would be strange not to appreciate him!
    Recalling what Qian Lin had said earlier, Qian Liang hadn¡¯t expected that Chen Cang¡¯s English was so good either ¨C such a pity! What a great prospect. The more he thought about it, the more regretful Qian Liang became. He had assumed Qian Lin had fabricated the character, but to think it was really Chen Cang¡­ Ah, it seemed the young man hadn¡¯t lied. Losing to Chen Cang was not unjust! It would be a surprise if he could have won. Qian Lin stood there dazed, what was going on? Why had the uncle stopped talking? And why had he been calling the graduate department to ask about Chen Cang? My God! He wasn¡¯t nning to cause trouble for Chen Cang, was he? This thought made Qian Lin shiver¡­ ¡°Uncle, about this Chen Cang¡­¡±
    Qian Liang turned around and red at Qian Lin, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m aware. Go look for Tao Zi. For residency, head to the Second Provincial Hospital. As for the rest¡­ Learn more from Chen Cang. That young man is not bad.¡± This statement resonated pleasantly in Qian Lin¡¯s ears. My happiness has only just begun! Chapter 227: 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 echinocosis, 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 ounts, with two phones! One phone was all about the food series, the other was like a surgical exhibition hall. All sorts of bizarre galldders, special appendices, rare cysts¡­ Chen Cang felt that he should enlighten his ssmates 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,posed a message, and then attached a picture.
    ¡°Dragon ying 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 apaniment 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. Inparison, 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¡­¡± s¡­ ¡­ 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 ident, 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 andughed 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 andughing just a moment ago, suddenly threw her phone and let out a sharp scream. Themotion 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 morefortable¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have a dinner, all with our Dongyang Medical University ssmates. 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 nced 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¡¯ste today. Some other time when you¡¯re free,e 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 ck belt, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Chapter 228: 229: Stop, Chen the Dog! Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Stop, Chen the Dog! [Ding! Congrattions, 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 shiftst 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 Xiann 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 sleepwalkst 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 Xiann sneered, ¡°Misunderstanding? What a misunderstanding. Come on, see for yourself, where is the misunderstanding?¡± As she spoke, Tian Xiann 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 sentst 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 finest 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 allmon 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¡¯te. 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. Aftering 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 nced at Wang Qian, and her big eyes twinkling, she nodded, ¡°Yes!¡± The nurses in the emergency departmentughed, ¡°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 nced 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 disyed 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 wille see you again, sob sob¡­¡± She burst into tears as soon as she left the door. This promptedughter 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!

(Extra for 3000 monthly votes) The girl continued to speak, ¡°It was hard enough to calm my mom down, and she only fell asleep after taking a sleeping pill, but just an hour ago, I suddenly heard a lot of noiseing from next door, so I quickly got up to check.¡± ¡°As soon as I entered the room, I saw my mom screaming her head off, and everything on the bed had been thrown on the floor!¡± ¡°When my mom saw mee in, she said, ¡®Daughter, look, behind you, they¡¯vee again!''¡± The girl felt her arms as if she were scared. Not to mention him, even Chen Cang and Lele were trembling a bit upon hearing this. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself. The girl went on, ¡°I was about to speak when my mom suddenly pointed behind me and shouted loudly, ¡®Go away! I¡¯m begging you, please go away!¡¯ But when I turned around, I couldn¡¯t see anything¡­¡± ¡°I was terrified at that moment and said, ¡®Mom, are you getting muddled?''¡± ¡°But my mom just clutched at my clothes and wouldn¡¯t let go, saying, ¡®It¡¯s right there, right there¡­''¡± ¡°I was about to speak when my mom started to run outside, shouting as she went, ¡®Don¡¯t chase me¡­ Don¡¯t grab me!''¡± ¡°Then we chased her here.¡± That was the end of the story¡­ Chen Cang felt a bit of a shiver himself, and shook his head quickly at the thought. He was a doctor; how could he indulge in superstitions like them? At this time, Lele and a few nurses were already scared and huddled together, afraid to speak. Chen Cang, pondering a change in the weather, asked, ¡°Has the olddy had any illnesses before? Has she taken any medication? Such as sleeping pills, painkillers or anything like that?¡± The girl wasn¡¯t very old, probably the youngest in the family, and shook her head, ¡°No, my mom is usually very healthy. She rarely takes sleeping pills, just in case someone needs one at an unexpected time. She barely takes painkillers and is usually in good spirits, going to the senior activity center every day to sing and dance. Oh! Right, she has high blood pressure. She¡¯s had it for over a decade, but she¡¯s always taken her medication.¡± Chen Cang thought it over, ruling out a history of mental illness and no diseases that would affect her mental state. After much consideration, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s get a CT scan of her head!¡± The daughter nodded, but still seemed frightened and uncertain as she asked, ¡°Okay, but¡­ doctor, is it possible my mom is possessed by a ghost? Seeing things that are unclean?¡± Before Chen Cang could respond, the daughter went on, ¡°Doctor, you¡¯ve seen a lot. Should I find a Taoist priest tomorrow to perform a ritual?¡± Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s first check if there is anything wrong with the patient¡¯s head.¡± By this time, the olddy was possibly worn out; she didn¡¯t make a sound and seemed to have fallen asleep. Chen Cang followed for the CT, fearing there might be some issue. But soon, the CT results came out, which were surprisingly unexpected to Chen Cang. No significant abnormalities (Report: multiple cavities in the bteral basal ganglia and semioval center). The daughter also said, ¡°My mom is really alright.¡± At this point, the girl said, ¡°How about this, doctor? Give my mom a tranquilizer shot, let her have a good sleep, and if she¡¯s fine tomorrow, then there¡¯s no issue. If not, I¡¯ll find a master to perform a ritual.¡± Chen Cang thought about it again and said, ¡°I think we should do an MRI¡­¡± The girl¡¯s husband was getting impatient, ¡°You¡¯re taking this too far! CT now, MRI next, what are you trying to do?¡± Upon hearing this, the girl said, ¡°Doctor, please don¡¯t mind him, I¡¯m fine with whatever, but¡­ don¡¯t make us undergo excessive diagnostics. Let¡¯s do something meaningful. You see what state my mom is in; as her child, I¡¯m really worried!¡± Clenching his teeth, Chen Cang insisted, ¡°I feel there¡¯s still a problem, and I strongly suggest you get an MRI of the head before leaving. If there¡¯s no problem then, I won¡¯t stop you guys.¡± The daughter pped her hands, ¡°Let¡¯s do the MRI then, think of it as a health check-up!¡± After finishing, he sent the man to pay the fee, and since it waste with no one around, the MRI was quickly done. Chen Cang looked at the scans and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, finally, there was a new finding! The clear images showed an infarct in the olddy¡¯s temporal parietal lobe on one side of the brain. Chen Cang, looking at the scans, knew the cause. The temporal lobe, which manages a person¡¯s emotions and psyche, was affected. An issue there could very likely lead to hallucinations. Chen Cang called the girl over and said, ¡°You see, it¡¯s a stroke that¡¯s causing the olddy to have hallucinations, not something filthy possessing her. She must be hospitalized for treatment.¡± The boy skeptically said, ¡°Isn¡¯t a stroke supposed to cause¡­ paralysis? What about the drooling, slurred speech, and numbness in the limbs? How could it be like this!¡± Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°The brain is themand center for all functional activities of the body, including our eating, drinking, excretion, our thinking, and our psychological, spiritual, and conscious activities. Therefore, theoretically, a variety of symptoms can appear after a stroke, including changes in personality, memory, and even psychiatric anomalies. But even with the variety of symptoms, some are still characteristic. For instance, paralysis often only appears on one side of the body or face, with bteral limb paralysis being quite rare. What¡¯s more distinctive is the onset of a stroke¡ªits sudden onset and rapid progression to peak severity have significant clinical diagnostic value.¡± ¡°So, your mother¡¯s condition is an acute temporal parietal lobe infarct, which suddenly caused emotional dysregtion, leading to a series of illnesses!¡± The girl, upon hearing this, instantly breathed a sigh of relief! ¡°You scared me to death, I thought she had been hexed or something! So¡­ doctor, what do we do now?¡± Chen Cang turned and looked at Lele, ¡°Lele, call the Department of Neurology, tell them we have a patient with an acute cerebral infarction who needs to be admitted to the hospital immediately.¡± As Chen Cang thought this, he exined, ¡°The reason I asked you to get a CT scan first is because CTs are more effective within a short period after cerebral hemorrhage, and they¡¯re cheaper, costing less than two or three hundred, which serves as a screening tool. But an MRI costs nearly nine hundred. However, its effectiveness in detecting acute strokes is better than that of a CT, so that¡¯s why I arranged it in this order.¡± The girl shook her head, her face finally calming down: ¡°Doctor, it¡¯s okay, as long as I know what¡¯s wrong with my mom.¡± Soon after, Dr. Zhang Lingyun from the Department of Neurology came down and transferred the patient to his department. Busy until three or four o¡¯clock, this strange patient was finally taken care of. The nurses were still somewhat in disbelief: ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ do you think it¡¯s possible that she was possessed by a ghost, and then suddenly had a stroke?¡± Chen Cang was left speechless: ¡°In the future, stop with the superstitions, you¡¯re scaring the patients!¡± After finishing, Chen Cang returned to his office. Recalling the patient from before, Chen Cang also smiled. The girl was understanding, and it was really rare to have a patient willing to cooperate with further examinations. Usually, if the CT scan doesn¡¯t reveal anything, they won¡¯t get further checks, and they¡¯ll misunderstand the doctor for over-testing. However¡­ the symptoms exhibited by human illnesses are sometimes incredibly strange, especially in cases of auditory and visual hallucinations. Sitting in his office, Chen Cang suddenly remembered he had something else to do, so he turned on the onlyputer in the office that was connected to the inte, about to log into his WeChat. Thisputer hardly ever got shut down, and was terribly slow. Chen Cang jiggled the mouse, and suddenly the screen lit up. He had just logged in when he was taken aback! Damn! I finally understand why my WeChat has been sending out photos to others! I didn¡¯t log out after using WeChat here two days ago! Andst night, Qin Yue was on the night shift! Realizing this, Chen Cang was itching with irritation, ¡°Good for you, Qin Bootlicker, just you wait till I deal with you tomorrow!¡± ps: For now, five updates, thank you all for your support¡­ ps, rmending a book,¡±Ancestor Simtor¡±by Zhong Cheng.

Intrathoracic esophageal perforation repair upgraded to master level, skill effects: 1.

Todays¡¯s surgery was definitely going to be a favor-based one, but as the director of endoscopy, Xiao He still had that much clout.
    After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang said, ¡°I¡¯m going to check on the patient. By the way¡­ do we have photos on the gastroscope?¡± Xiao He nodded, ¡°Yes, I took several at the time.¡± Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± At this time, everyone in the endoscopy room knew that there was a problem with a patient in Director Xiao¡¯s area, and they all came over to see if they could help. Chen Cang was the first to walk out of the director¡¯s office, with Xiao He following behind him, hurrying to the endoscopy disy screen to open the photos. ¡°Look, this is the surgical area¡¯s rupture¡­ I suspect there might be some fissures here, which can also be easily damaged over time¡­¡± The doctors in the endoscopy room couldn¡¯t help but worry when they saw the photos on the endoscopy disy!

Chen Cang, after analyzing the esophageal photos for a while, breathed a sigh of relief; the problem shouldn¡¯t be too big. Thinking this, Chen Cang began to instruct Xiao He, ¡°The patient needs preoperative preparation, starting with fasting and cement of a nasogastric tube for dpression, then ensuring the patient doesn¡¯t swallow saliva but spits it all out, followed by using antibiotics for mouthwash to keep the oral cavity clean.¡± Xiao He understood and nodded, ¡°Yes, okay!¡± This was to prevent mouth secretions, which contain arge number of bacteria, from entering the mediastinum or thoracic cavity through the perforation, worsening the infection! Xiao He called over a nurse, ¡°Follow all the arrangements made by Doctor Chen Cang.¡± Since Chen Cang had performed surgery in the endoscopy room before, the young nurse was somewhat familiar and nodded. The other doctors in the endoscopy room, however, didn¡¯t recognize Chen Cang. Seeing how respectfully Xiao He treated Chen Cang, they all frowned in curiosity, wondering who he was. Such youth and yetmanding such respect from Director Xiao? But looking at the badge on his clothes, he was clearly from Second Provincial Hospital.
    This piqued everyone¡¯s curiosity! Hou Xu was even more surprised; thoracic esophageal repair surgery was a level-three operation in thoracic surgery, a type of micro-operation with some difficulty and high demands on the practitioner, definitely not that simple. When did Second Provincial Hospital acquire such a talent? Thinking this, Hou Xu walked over and asked, ¡°Director Xiao¡­ aren¡¯t we transferring the patient?¡±
    Xiao He shook his head, giving an excuse, ¡°There¡¯s no time, let¡¯s just do it in our hospital! Plus, Dr. Chen can do it.¡± Hearing this, Hou Xu was immediately stunned, ¡°Dr. Chen? Is¡­¡± Xiao He, as if lost in thought, turned to look at the crowd and said, ¡°This is Dr. Chen Cang from emergency medicine, whom I¡¯ve invited to do the surgery today.¡± ¡°Dr. Chen is our friend, so if you ever need any assistance from the endoscopy room, don¡¯t hesitate to ask.¡± As one of the auxiliary departments, the endoscopy room might not wield much power but was still a very important department. Friends and rtives needing a gastroscopy or colonoscopy all had to be arranged by An Yanjun; otherwise, you¡¯d have to wait for a week without any other options. When people heard Chen Cang¡¯s name, they suddenly found it familiar. After thinking carefully, they had an epiphany! This was a number one character indeed! Chen Cang, who had been the talk of the hospitaltely, turned out to be the young man in front of them. It was because of Chen Cang¡¯s incident that Director Song Qiang of the Medical Affairs Department was now relegated to sorting out medical records in the case room. And the instigator was none other than this person right here! Now¡­ The matter between Song Qiang and Chen Cang had be the talk of the hospital during meals and tea time just a short while ago. However, people didn¡¯t know much about Chen Cang and had no idea what kind of number one character he was.
    Now that they saw him, they were surprised by his youth! And what were his merits and abilities? Why did Director Xiao hold him in such high esteem? After Chen Cang had methodically made the arrangements, he made a phone call to anesthesiologist Liu Jian. ¡°Teacher Liu, it¡¯s me, Chen. There¡¯s a surgerying up shortly, and I need your help with the anesthesia¡­ yes¡­ alright.¡± ¡­ ¡­ The surgery was quickly arranged. Chen Cang called Wang Yong: ¡°Come to the operating room, number 6. There¡¯s a surgery for you to observe.¡± Wang Yong nodded without asking further questions and rushed to the operating room. When he learned it was a thoracic surgery, he first paused, then fell silent. He knew that with Chen Cang, there was no need for many words; watch more, learn more, and just do what he needs to do. And what was he supposed to do? Nothing but to assist.
    One hourter, Wang Yong and Xiao He followed Chen Cang into the operating room, and Liu Jian entered as well. Upon seeing Chen Cang and Xiao He, he greeted Xiao He: ¡°Director Xiao, hello.¡± Xiao He nodded and smiled: ¡°Thank you, Dr. Liu.¡± Then¡­ he couldn¡¯t help but ask Chen Cang: ¡°Chen¡­ are you doing it yourself?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om He knew Xiao He might at most perform some endoscopy to cut polyps or stop bleeding, but this kind of surgery was not something he could handle. Chen Cang nodded: ¡°Yeah, thanks for your hard work, Brother Liu.¡± Liu Jian smiled faintly, not saying much: ¡°Good luck!¡± Chen Cang sought Liu Jian because the anesthesia for this surgery was different; the choice of anesthesia for different operations varies, and it was also a test for an anesthesiologist. As a new leading figure in the anesthesia department who had previously administered anesthesia for thoracic surgeries, Liu Jian was familiar with this type of anesthesia as well. The skill of an anesthesiologist, just like that of a surgeon, can vary significantly.
    The anesthesia method chosen for this time was endotracheal intubation with general anesthesia. The position chosen for Old Yang¡¯s operation was not the usual supine position, but theteral position, because there would be multiple incisions during the surgery, necessitating the use of a right posterteral thorax incision. After the anesthesia, the surgery began! Wang Yong, too, didn¡¯t ask further, but he was somewhat surprised; after all¡­ this was the first time he had seen Chen Cang perform thoracic surgery, and the difficulty level of this esophageal surgery was quite high. It was not just about stitching up that simply. After sewing and repairing the esophagus, the fissure also needed to be covered with a pedicled pleural p. Moreover, due to the esophagus¡¯ special location and the numerous distribution of vagus nerves around it, there was a risk of damaging them during the esophagus mobilization. There were many things to pay attention to, so Wang Yong felt somewhat nervous and uneasy. Chen Cang turned to the nurse: ¡°Hand me the scalpel!¡± ps: The eight updates for today are over, thank you everyone for your support, and thank you to Alliance Hierarch for the generous 100,000 reward from a bask in moonlight. Chapter 204: 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, suchrge, 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 theretely. He¡¯s even be 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 alwayse 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? ¡­ ¡­ Followingyer byyer 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 umtion 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 hade 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn And it was because of this understanding that he was even more concerned about potentialplications. 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 quiteplex.¡± Chen Cang nodded without a word, carefully dissecting the esophagus. The process went smoothly, with noplications. 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 muscryer 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 erging 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 muscryer without paying attention.
    ¡°` Simply put, after suturing, it will not be stable! Eventer on, the mucosa that was already ulcerated can continue to be damaged, leading to secondary destruction of the esophagus, and by then, treatment will be 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-sessful. Now came the suturing. The sess rate of suturing is directly rted to the esophageal function in theter stages. Chen Cang carefully picked up the 4-0 suture, and this kind of suturing actually has a simr ingenuity to that used in the anastomosis of intestinal fists. Amidst threading the needle, it was like a butterfly ying 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 upying too much of the esophagus.
    As a result, it would be convenient for the restoration of esophageal functionter on. Liu Jian may not understand other things, but he understands suturing! The way Chen Cang sutured truly erged the usable space of the esophagus, ensuring a better oue 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 nce. 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 toplete it. It took seven or eight minutes for Chen Cang to finish the suturing. This might seemughable 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! Simrly, 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 mucosalyer and muscleyer 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 bookster but needed to remember it for now. Next, after suturing waspleted, the repaired tear needed to be covered with a pedicled pleural p, just like patching a tire, essentially as a precaution! The surgery had nowe to an end. cing 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 dpression. I¡¯m still worried about mediastinal infectionter 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 tock 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: 206: What to Buy? (Requesting Monthly Pass) 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 cing 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 inparison? 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 muchter, 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 thatter. 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 rmed and quickly shook his head, ¡°No, no, Director Xiao, that won¡¯t do. You¡¯re an important person, not like us. We can¡¯t dy your future because of our problems. If you run into trouble and get disciplined because of us, my dad would never forgive me!¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Even without money, Xiao Yang didn¡¯t want to do anything against his conscience. Although incidents like this were quitemon 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 ufortable 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 urred, 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 vigers. 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 sessful. 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 whoes 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 shorings, 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 beposed. After leaving the operating room, Chen Cang and Wang Yong walked side by side when an olddy wrapped in a headscarf caught up to them and grabbed both men. ¡°Doctor, I am Old Yang¡¯s daughter-inw,¡± 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 sessful, what Old Yang needs now is rest, so don¡¯t worry.¡± The olddy 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 olddy¡¯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 olddy for a long time. The olddy hurried away after speaking. Chen Cang looked at the bunch of coins in his hand, nced 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 anythingtely, 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 almostughed out loud! ¡°Teacher Cang, you¡¯re really thoughtful!¡± Chen Cang smiled, thinking it was a good idea. ¡­ ¡­ [Ding! Missionplete, 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-kemore tube forpression 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: 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 ept. 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 insteadid 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 used, ¡°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 exined, ¡°It¡¯s permissible to sleep during a night shift, but if somethinges up, a nurse wille and wake me promptly, so it won¡¯t affect my work.¡± After hearing his exnation, 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 amotion, 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 minutester, a nurse rushed in with a panicked expression on her face. ¡°Doctor Chen, you bettere 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, livelyds, 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 youngds, 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 dy my brother¡¯s condition!¡± another eximed. ¡°Right, if you can¡¯t cure him, we won¡¯t let you off easy today!¡± threatened another. Watching the crowd¡¯s mor, as if they were indignant and would butcher Chen Cang the moment he made a wrong move, he couldn¡¯t help but nce 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 red back with furrowed brows, each unting their various ¡®badass¡¯ essories¡ªnes,rge 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 theds 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 otherds 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: 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 rtionship 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 rtionship 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 rtionship, 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 sessful, and he should be able to be discharged after recovering over the next few days.¡± Su Jun sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve been so stressedtely with all the trouble in the department! Xiao He had a very close rtionship with Su Jun, often meeting up, and they would attend conferences on the spleen and stomach system together, which helped to solidify their rtionship. 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 fist, 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 providedfort,menting 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 herst examination, and this time, she wants it removed. Just letting you know ahead of time. Shen Fengmao is quite particr 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 herpletely; smooth things over, and maybe the equipment will be approved. In this hospital, you really need to maintain good rtions 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 isw.¡± 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. Pleasee down quickly.¡± Xiao He promptly got to his feet, ¡°Okay, Director Liu, I¡¯m on my way!¡± After hanging up the phone, Xiao He nced 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,ined of pain so severe she couldn¡¯t exert any effort, and with the child halfway out, this was a seriousplication! 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 noplications, 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 contemte 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 butugh, ¡°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 butugh. They were about to wee a new family member soon; this was a happy event for both the Zhang and Liu families. Liu Wenjun¡¯s mother smiled, ¡°Inws, ah, I¡¯ve prepared clothes for Yan Yan, I¡¯ll send them over to youter.¡±
    Liu Wenjun¡¯s fatherughed heartily, ¡°You¡¯ve been buying clothes for a year now, bringing something new every few days. If this child doesn¡¯te out soon, we might run out of room for all the clothes at home!¡± At this, everyone burst into heartyughter. 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 unexpectedplication 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 ept!
    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 toe 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 exnation. 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: 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 situatione 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-inw, 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?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Zhang Jinfen couldn¡¯t help but ask the nurse, ¡°Why haven¡¯t the consultants who were just heree 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 minutester, 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 copsed. ¡­ ¡­ After exining the patient¡¯s condition to everyone, Yang Xiaoming suddenly said, ¡°It¡¯s not rted 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 waspletely 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 pressurepressed 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 exnation immediately enlightened Zhang Jinfeng! ¡°Very likely! Such cases have happened before!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call the endoscopy unit right now, get Xiao He toe 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 dyed; 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 bepleted 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 dyed, it could be life-threatening for the patient!¡± His words ced everyone who had just started to rx 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 amodating; 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: 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 exin, 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 mostplicated inter-personal rtionships 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-inw and mothers apanying 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 surgeryter, please help with the anesthesia.¡± Liu Jian nodded with a smile, ¡°No problem, Director Zhang, your word is mymand. 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 arge pressure difference between the inside of the esophageal lumen and the thoracic cavity, leading to the rupture of the esophagus!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn ¡°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 toe 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 heckedmunication 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 particrly 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 nned 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: 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 arge 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 sofortably 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?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 thister 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 rted, 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 dissectingyer byyer. 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 withoutpromising the surgery. This was the result of a deep understanding of the vascr architecture of the local tissue regions. Every move was intentional, the oue 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 anycency. At that moment, the operating room door opened, and a slender man, not very tall and wearing ck-framed sses, 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 rtionship 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 particr 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 nces. But it seemed like before Wei Zhi could react, Chen Cang had already seeded 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 uing 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 morefortable. 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 morefortable. 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 mucosalyer and muscleyer were rtively intact due to being rupture-type injuries.
    Although the incision lookedrger 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 rtively 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 oue. Moreover, because the wound could develop scar tissue, Chen Cang had to prevent grantion 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 dispatchingmands, all done with authoritative ease! [Ding! Lv37 esophageal rupture monster stitchingplete, received: Clinical Experience +300; Surgery Experience +300; Skill Point +1.] It was a sess. 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: 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 sessful, and she could now give the patients and their families a satisfactory exnation. 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 olddy about to enter her sixties. She was plump and jubnt. 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¡¯te 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 exim, ¡°Truly, heroes emerge from the young; each generation is stronger than thest!¡± ¡°Young man, you¡¯re great. This surgery was quite inspiring for me. Let¡¯smunicate 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 transnt 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 shouldmunicate 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 thest 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 immediatelyughed, ¡°There are many women in gynecology, doctors and patients alike. But those whoe 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 olddy nearing sixty, looked festive and kind, and when sheughed, 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,ck integrity!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly burst intoughter; who could guess that this plump little olddy 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 rxed. 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?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 everyoneughing. ¡­
    ¡­ 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 n 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 rtively 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 tform!¡± ¡°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 tform. 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 240: 241: Remote Consultation (Added for 4500 monthly tickets) Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Remote Consultation (Added for 4500 monthly tickets) This design is no simple task! Chen Cang suddenly realized that skin p transntation 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 waspletely 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 ps, 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 ck 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 p is this? An O-Z p? No, that¡¯s not right! It seemed to have some shadows of an A-T p, but the A-T p, due to its versatile transformations, is more suitable for repairs in the never-ending hairline, nasal r groove, and lip groove. However, this A-T p, because of the three intersection points, tends to leave a ¡°T¡± shaped scar, right? And this area doesn¡¯t require an A-T p. But this was too far from the traditional skin p transnt, wasn¡¯t it? Qin Xiang had never seen such a skin p transnt 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 ps? 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 ps¡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 cirction of the face. A simplerge-area skin p transnt, 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 p transntation 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 exmations 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 p transntation. With their coborative 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 p transntation, medicine was all aboutmunication and exchange. With this coboration, 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 n. 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 servingdy¡¯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. Therge screen was ced 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 andrge 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 213: 214: Old Classmate (Added for Alliance Hierarch Sleeve-silent Good-doer) Chapter 213: Chapter 214: Old ssmate (Added for Alliance Hierarch Sleeve-silent Good-doer) ¡°` Mrs. Fu set off for the School of Media Studies with her younger brother, while Chen Cang took a taxi to Dongyang Medical University. Dongyang Medical University started its term earlier than most, and today was the opening ceremony for new graduate students.N?v(el)B\\jnn In reality, it was just the so-called mobilization assembly. The feelings that came with stepping onto the campus once again were, after all, different. It felt like a return to those youthful days. Chen Cang went through the process ofpleting various formalities and collecting a series of documents. By the time he finished, it was already noon. Graduate studies in medicine are unlike other fields; many people say it doesn¡¯t cost much to pursue a graduate degree, and some even manage to save money. That might be true because you chose a good major. If you think you have extra cash¡­e try studying medicine¡­ You¡¯re as busy as a dog, up early and workingte. Doctors in the department don¡¯t even regard you as a peer¡ªjust a free internbor force. Getting paid by the boss?
    Nice to think about. The assembly was scheduled for the afternoon and evening, so Chen Cang took his meal card to the cafeteria around midday, this familiar ce. vors once deemed unappetizing had, after graduation, be somewhat nostalgic; the food was economical and clean. Chen Cang would asionallye back for a visit. A cafeteria meal with two meat dishes, one vegetable, and rice cost only seven or eight yuan. When Chen Cang had first entered university, he used to walk with his dorm mates in groups. Now, he found he preferred to be alone. Working alone, knocking off alone, eating alone. Being on your own wasn¡¯t exactly enjoyable, but once ustomed to it, you might find itfortable. Okay, Chen Cang was just trying to justify his single status with some lofty excuse. He purchased his familiar meal and found a familiar spot to sit down. ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Hey? Luo Zhou, do you see that? Isn¡¯t that Chen Cang?¡± Dong Jia pointed at Chen Cang who was eating at a nearby table and suddenly spoke up. Luo Zhou was startled and looked in the direction to see for himself, then said in surprise, ¡°My God! It really is him! Chen Cang! What¡¯s he doing here?¡± As they spoke, the two walked towards Chen Cang¡¯s table with their tes. ¡°Cang Er! It really is you!¡± Luo Zhouughed out loud, setting down his tray and smiling. Only then did Chen Cang look up. Seeing the two, he was stunned too. ¡°Luo Zhou? Dong Jia? What are you guys¡­ What are you doing at school?¡± Dong Jia startedughing, ¡°I¡¯m here to help out with the new graduate student orientation this year; Professor Guan sent me. Old Luo graduated this year, was idle, and had nothing to do, so I dragged him out for a walk.¡±
    ¡°Oh right, you might not know this, but Professor Guan has now be the director of the Graduate Student Affairs at Dongyang Medical University. How awesome is that?¡± ¡°But, Chen Cang, what are you doing at school?¡± The three were ssmates during their undergraduate studies and had a reasonably good rtionship, so seeing Chen Cang naturally felt more cordial. Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I¡¯m just following in your footsteps and havee to pursue graduate studies. From now on, I¡¯ll have to call you Senior Luo and Senior Sister Dong!¡±
    Luo Zhou¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chen Cang took out the student ID he had just received that day and handed it over: ¡°Have a look, I¡¯m a fresh 19th-level neer, brand new and green.¡± This immediately made Luo Zhou and Dong Jia burst intoughter. ¡°` However, Luo Zhou couldn¡¯t help but express his doubts, ¡°That¡¯s not right, Cang Er, with your capabilities, it would take you three years to get into grad school? Xiehe shouldn¡¯t be an issue for you, should it!?¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°I worked for two years, and now that the opportunity hase, I¡¯ve started pursuing my graduate studies.¡± Dong Jia sighed, ¡°You¡¯re telling me, jobs are hard to find nowadays. Those provincial hospitals directly under the provincial capital cities don¡¯t even want graduates anymore. Even if they do, it¡¯s like fitting a carrot into a hole, tailored for their own students.¡± ¡°Our batch just graduated this year, and there¡¯s no recruitment information from the provincial direct units yet, everyone¡¯s still at school waiting for announcements. Many people graduated with nowhere to go, the good ces are out of reach, and they don¡¯t want to go to the less desirable ones.¡± Chen Cang watched as Dong Jia transferred the fatty pieces of meat from her meal to Luo Zhou¡¯s bowl, showing a casual intimacy, and couldn¡¯t help asking: ¡°Luo Zhou, Dong Jia, when did you two get together?¡± Luo Zhou chuckled, and Dong Jia gave him a nce, saying, ¡°I didn¡¯t get into Xi¡¯an Jiaotong University¡¯s first affiliated hospital my first year, then we studied together and I tested back into our school. Luo Zhou took care of me all the way, helping me find a supervisor. After I got in, we got together.¡± Luo Zhou didn¡¯t mind and smiled, ¡°Time really flies, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I¡¯ve graduated from my master¡¯s program this year.¡± Speaking of which, Luo Zhou suddenly said with a hint of mystery, ¡°Cang Er, this year¡¯s freshman orientation will be lively, especially tomorrow.¡±
    Chen Cang was puzzled, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Luo Zhou, ¡°This year coincides with the school¡¯s anniversary, the sixtieth. Many of our outstanding graduates and some of the more impressive students from the past two years have been invited back. Tonight¡¯s orientation will definitely feature a few speeches from such individuals.¡± Only then did Chen Cang nod in understanding. These matters seemed distant from him. ¡°Luo Zhou, what specialty did you study in graduate school?¡± Chen Cang asked. Luo Zhouined with a smile, ¡°General surgery, but this year, they¡¯ve recruited too few in the general surgery direction, and nearly twenty to thirty are graduating from general surgery in our batch. Too many monks and not enough porridge¡ªor rather, too many wolves and not enough meat! Everyone¡¯s desperately waiting for a job.¡± Chen Cang nodded thoughtfully, ¡°Oh¡­ Do you have a suitable position? Did your teacher secure a quota for you?¡± Dong Jia chuckled, ¡°With his dopey head, would his supervisor even like him?¡± Luo Zhouughed awkwardly, ¡°It¡¯s not like that. My supervisor isn¡¯t the head of the department, so he doesn¡¯t have that much power. Even the students of the big department heads can¡¯t necessarily secure a quota. Besides, things aren¡¯t that simple in today¡¯s society.¡± ¡°Last year, a senior from our hospital wanted to stay on after graduating. In the end, he spent around six or seven hundred thousand. Where would I get that much money to buy a job?¡± Speaking of work made everyone a bit anxious. Chen Cang timely changed the subject, and they all started talking about the ssmates from their ss. The meal was lively and boisterous.
    Luo Zhou suddenly mentioned, ¡°Right, Cang Er, there¡¯s a gathering on Saturday. Do you want toe? It¡¯s for graduates from our batch, just to catch up. After all, it might make it easier to find someone for a consultation once we¡¯re working.¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help butugh. He didn¡¯t know about other industries, but in the medical field, it certainly was like that. With a group of ssmates in different hospital departments, it was convenient to find someone for a consultation without incessantly making phone calls. ¡°Saturday¡­ I might be busy this Saturday, let¡¯s see then.¡± He had quite a few things to do on Saturday, including supervising the recruitment fair as the director had asked him. The meal was lively and enjoyable, the old ssmates gathered, spirits were high, andughter filled the air well into the afternoon. Suddenly, Dong Jia asked, ¡°Chen Cang, are you still in touch with Geng Yan?¡± Before she could finish, Luo Zhou interrupted her, shooting Dong Jia a look. Chen Cang smiled, ¡°No, we lost contact after graduation.¡± Luo Zhou patted Chen Cang, ¡°Haven¡¯t you found someone? By the way, where did you end up working?¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°After graduation, I first went to a private hospital, but I couldn¡¯t stand it after half a year. Just then, the provincial second hospital¡¯s emergency department was hiring temporaries, and I¡¯ve been there for more than two years now.¡± ¡°Working in the emergency department is so busy every day, where would I have time to date? So looking back, I think school days were the best.¡± ps: I thank the Alliance Hierarch ¡®Sleeved and Silent, Man of Good Deeds¡¯ for the reward. Thank you. There will be five updates for today. Sorry for thete update. Toward the end of this month, I will add a lot more updates.
    Chapter 214: 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 Jiaforted, ¡°I think it¡¯s also okay to go to the surrounding counties and cities. The sry 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¡­ aplete 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 ag 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 almostst, without any worry. It really is domineering. It¡¯s thiste 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 graduatedst 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 ces. 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 sries 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 apany 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 befortable with their situation.¡± Dong Jia nced 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 fewrge 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. Ifst 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, thepetition must be tough.¡± Upon hearing this, Dong Jia became unreceptive, ¡°Luo Zhou, I¡¯lle with you when the timees. 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 everyoneugh. After leaving the restaurant, Luo Zhou suddenly asked, ¡°Cang Er, why don¡¯t youe 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 ss, he got along well with everyone. After all, there weren¡¯t many boys in the medical school, so they all got on pretty well, ying games and basketball together asionally. The dormitory supervisor, Auntie, had just finished her meal and was walking by the ss 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 Cangughed, ¡°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 intoughter, ¡°I may not have any other skills, but I sure remember faces well! Are you nning 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 dyed the move a bit. After all, renting a ce 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 ce 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 Zhouughed, ¡°Well then¡­ how about we y 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 y.¡± The familiar college days, they were spent just like this. ¡­ ¡­ In the afternoon, Chen Cang started with ss assignments, ording to the specialty training hospitals, since everyone was usually in the hospital for specialized training, this made ss 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 ss 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. ¡°ssmate¡­ 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 intoughter, ¡°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 youngdy¡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-ssdy. 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?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
    Looking at his current attire, he must havee 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: 216: Geng Yan! Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Geng Yan! Chen Cang¡¯s ¡°Just discount it!¡± left Qian Linpletely 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 mightck 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 outte, 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,pared 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 exining some matters, including the special training program, sses, 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 sses, 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 ss 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 entric¡­ What pleased Chen Cang, though, was that among the twenty or so girls in the ss, quite a few were good-looking. This made him look forward even more to his uing graduate student life.
    After the small ss meeting ended, everyone was to attend the hospital¡¯s weing 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 ssmates 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 epted for a Ph.D. at Xiehe, did you?¡± Indeed, this time they had invited quite a few students who had been epted into prestigious schools to spread positive energy. Chen Cang cleared his throat and gave a sheepish smile, ¡°I did get epted!¡± ¡°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 intoughter. 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 andrge 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 pharmaceuticalpany for nearly a million yuan. Later, he pursued his graduate studies at Xiehe and was rmended for direct admission to their doctoral program. Chapter 216: 217: Dont you want to defeat him in the field hes best at? Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Don¡¯t you want to defeat him in the field he¡¯s best at? ¡°` Jing Ran¡¯s story could be called an exemry 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 rtionship 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 ttery. 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?¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Jing Ran nodded, his voice maic, ¡°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 contemtive. 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 andughed, ¡°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 noparison. 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 eximed 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, nning 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 timees!¡± 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 yearspared 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 rtionship 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 asionally 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 urs 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 ce. 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 aloneughable justice. To put it bluntly, Chen Cang could disregard Geng Yanpletely, 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 Yaning, 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: 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 pping 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 ce 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 Schrship, the Fen Liquor Inspirational Schrship, in his sophomore year¡­ in his junior year he sessfully 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 notpletely ounted 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 bepleted!¡± ¡­ 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 wee our outstanding graduate representative Jing Ran to the stage to speak. Let¡¯s give him a round of apuse!¡± Instantly, apuse erupted below, enthusiastically extraordinary, indicating that Jing Ran was indeed very popr! 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 valuepetition! 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 Cardiovascr 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 shorings 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, bothrge 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 sess does note by luck. Thisrge 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 Cardiovascr Surgery¡¯ and the ¡®Journal of Vascr Surgery,¡¯ improving two traditional surgical techniques. During my doctorate, my focus was on lung surgery. Recently, my colleagues and I havepleted high-difficulty surgeries such as single-lung transnts, double-lung transnts, and heart-lungbined transnts¡­¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡°What I want to tell everyone is that there is no shortcut to sess. 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 dozenrge hospitals, including those in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. None offered an annual sry 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 be 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 apuse filled the hall! It was not just the students pping, 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 p and cheer! It was a resonance of the heart! Which new student doesn¡¯te 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 whaty deep in the hearts of them all! He spoke of their dreams. They too wanted to be such a person! In that moment, Jing Ran became their idol! Chapter 218: 219: Are You an NPC Sent by the System? (Added for 2500 monthly tickets.) Chapter 218: Chapter 219: Are You an NPC Sent by the System? (Added for 2500 monthly tickets.) At the school leadership¡¯s table, several deans looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but p their hands in apuse! That was exactly the effect they wanted! The star effect was very obvious. When such an outstanding star emerges from your school, the school develops a sense of cohesion and a drive to strive. Liu Jingsheng pped his hands in satisfaction and looked at Qian Liang, ¡°Not bad, right?¡± Qian Liang nodded, ¡°Really not bad!¡± Liu Jingshengughed out loud, ¡°I¡¯m impressive, aren¡¯t I?¡± Qian Liang threw a nce at Liu Jingsheng, ¡°Impressive¡­ what does that have to do with you?¡± Liu Jingsheng raised his eyebrows, ¡°How can it have nothing to do with me? This is all my doing. Could he have been brought here without me? Without me¡­¡± ¡­
    ¡­ Jing Ran¡¯s appearance stirred up the atmosphere on the scene, and everyone set one goal after another in their hearts! And Qian Lin finally finished his magnum opus! He took a small notebook filled with dense notes, summarized it simply, and turned it into a well-crafted report.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Satisfied with his work, he turned and patted the daydreaming Chen Cang, ¡°Little benefactor, I havepleted all your small goals, big goals, and long-term goals for you. Just follow this, and you will surely beat him in the area he excels in!¡± Chen Cang took the notebook and looked at it, immediately bing dumbstruck, staring wide-eyed and speechless for a long time. It had to be said that Qian Lin was really talented; at the very least, his step-by-step nning was scientifically rigorous, and each goal was crafted very cleverly. To summarize the dense, four to five-page ¡°Jing Ran¡¯s Awesome History¡± into this, he truly was a genius! ¡°Award Goals: 1. A national-level inspirational schrship; 2. A first-ce prize in a professionalpetition (provincial level); 3. A ce in a national-levelpetition;¡± ¡°Honor Goals: 1. Honor as a provincial-level organization director or above; 2. Join two or more national-level organizations and societies; 3. Obtain the title of special talent (provincial level or above).¡± ¡°Research Goals: 1. Publish a paper with an impact factor of 3; 2. Publish papers with a total impact factor exceeding 15 (Jing Ran¡¯s current total score); 3. Publish a paper with an impact factor over 15.¡± ¡°Clinical Goals: 1. Complete 500 surgeries; 2. Develop and improve two new surgical procedures (recognized by professional societies); 3. Pioneer a new surgical procedure (recognized by professional societies);¡± ¡°Money-Making Goals: 1. A house and a car (equivalent to two million); 2. A nice house + a nice car (equivalent to ten million); 3. A luxurious vi + a luxury car (equivalent to one hundred million);¡± ¡°Girlfriend Goals: 1. Have a pretty girlfriend; 2. Have a girlfriend who is both pretty and practical; 3. Find a girlfriend who is pretty, practical, wealthy, capable, and powerful (a beautiful rich woman);¡± Chen Cang, looking at the extensive list of goals spanning several hundred words, was truly taken aback! Qian Lin whispered, ¡°Little benefactor, I¡¯ve set a goal for you in every field, 1 is a small goal, 2 is a medium-term goal, 3 is a long-term goal ¡ª you¡¯ve got to work hard! If you achieve the first standard goal, you¡¯ll be on the same level as Jing Ran. If you achieve the second, you¡¯ll be fully capable of showing off and pping faces. If you aplish the third, you can ignore him altogether!¡± As he said this, Qian Lin took a deep breath, as if he had to get it off his chest! Chen Cang¡¯s trembling hands looked at Qian Lin, and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°This task is too daunting, it¡¯s quite difficult.¡± Upon hearing this, Qian Lin chuckled, ¡°Ah¡­ young people need to put some pressure on themselves. If I were Geng Yan, I wouldn¡¯t even look at you!¡±
    ¡°Besides, what are these goals of yours? They are nothingpared to mine. Are you chickening out already?¡± Chen Cang was startled, turning to look at Qian Lin, ¡°You mean¡­ you¡¯ve been knocked down before?¡± Qian Lin¡¯s eyes suddenly turned murky, as if a more world-weary aura enveloped him, making Chen Cang feel somewhat ufortable. Qian Lin sighed, pulled out many pieces of paper from his pocket, and said, ¡°As an outstanding man, how can I not have rivals in love? I have many rivals and many goals; this is the direction of my lifelong efforts.¡±
    While talking, Qian Lin carefully smoothed out the papers, his gaze as tender as one looking at his lover. Seeing this, Chen Cang wanted to see Qian Lin¡¯s goals as well, but seeing him in such a state, he didn¡¯t dare to touch them. Qian Lin said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, take a look! We arerades in battle, the kind that fight side by side. So, little benefactor, Jing Ran is just a minor figure, you can¡¯t cower. Although you can¡¯tpare to me, you still have topare with yourself!¡± ¡°My goals are the biggest motivation of my life.¡± Chen Cang became even more curious, unable to resist taking a piece of paper. ¡°Surpassing Goal: Qian Liang! Difficulty Level: Five stars. Scientific research goals¡­ Academic goals¡­ Honorary goals¡­¡± Chen Cang almost spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around, and looked seriously at Qian Lin, ¡°Are you serious?¡± Qian Lin nodded seriously: Serious! Chen Cang saw that the difficulty had skyrocketed to the level of the Wu Jieping Medical Award and truly sighed, looking at this 200-pound soul, you really have it tough. ¡°Why do you want to surpass your uncle?¡± Qian Lin shook his head, ¡°When I was 6, I liked my uncle¡¯s daughter, but he told me close rtives can¡¯t get married. I thought he looked down on me, so I had to be better than him! That was the goal I set when I was 6, but as I grew up¡­ Although I know my uncle was right, I still have to surpass him!¡± Chen Cang took out another piece of paper.
    ¡°Objective to surpass: Qian Mingda? Task difficulty: Six stars. Financial goal: ¡­ the richest man in Anyang; Spousal goal: Prettier than my mother??¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but take a step back from Qian Lin, ¡°Is this your dad?¡± Qian Lin nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, when he was young, he wouldn¡¯t let my mother sleep, saying that she should sleep with my dad. Then, when I was 5, I set this goal.¡± Chen Cang continued to flip through the list: ¡°Chen Moufei? Influence goal: Make five stars famous, at least more so than Liu Yifei?¡± Qian Lin nodded, ¡°When I was 15, I was obsessed with Liu Yifei¡­¡± Chen Cang saw the next one: ¡°Kurosawa?¡± Qian Linughed embarrassingly, ¡°Lin Chiling¡­¡± ¡­ ¡­ The more Chen Cang flipped through, the more nervous he felt. What kind of heart does one need to amodate so many goals? Until Chen Cang got to ¡°Tiancan Taro,¡± he could understand Qian Lin. ¡°This is because you liked Eve from the game, right?¡±
    At this point, Qian Lin looked at Chen Cang with the same affinity as looking at his own brother and smiled affectionately, ¡°Right!¡± Chen Cang carefully folded each objective neatly and orderly. When he looked at Qian Lin again, it was different from before. Inside this 200-pound body, there was at least 200 tons of soul and 20,000,000,000 tons of goals¡­ Comparatively speaking, Chen Cang suddenly found that Qian Lin had be much more lenient towards his own goals¡­ But at that moment, Chen Cang heard an alert sound! [Ding! Challenge task triggered: Defeat Jing Ran, breaking through one by one in his fields of expertise! For details of each specific task¡­ Afterpleting each task, you will receive corresponding rewards. Good luck, young man!] Chen Cang was startled, and he noticed a horrifying thing. That was the specific tasks of his own challenge were rmingly simr to the goals Qian Lin had written! At that moment, Chen Cang was baffled. He turned to look at Qian Lin, you must be an NPC sent by the system, right? He suddenly felt that if Qian Lin had a system, his life¡­ must be a difficult life. No wonder he wanted to escape from Meng Xi, right? Such a life, too bitter to bear, every time thinking of so many fearsome adversaries, how could one possibly sleep soundly?
    s¡­ Chen Cang patted Qian Lin¡¯s shoulder sympathetically and sighed. Qian Lin turned around, looked at Chen Cang, and also patted his shoulder. The two exchanged a smile and couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of fighting spirit! ¡­ Chapter 219: 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 tough. It was a bit childish! A bit ridiculous! Is effort only to surpass others? Must we alwayspare ourselves to others? Not necessarily, effort is merely to improve ourselves, to be 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. Nheless, the task still had to bepleted. 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 bitx 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 dere 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 chestpressions. Someone had already taken out their phone to dial 120!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 particrly vast, and their means limited, perhaps even causing unnecessaryplications! 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 identally caused an airway blockage while trying to prevent him from choking on his vomit. The man¡¯s breathing was bing more and morebored, 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 thepletion 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 toplete 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 shlight, 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¡­ anaphctic shock? Several terms popped into Chen Cang¡¯s mind.
    But¡­ what could have caused the anaphctic 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 particr 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 copsed on the ground! And then¡­ this happened¡­¡± Suddenly, Chen Cang looked down and noticed arge 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 anaphctic 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 moremon in pastoral areas like Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and the like. I¡¯ve seen patients like this before, very simr!¡±
    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,e 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 simr, 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 220: 221: Chen Cang... Did You Show Off at the Provincial Peoples Congress Again? Chapter 220: Chapter 221: Chen Cang¡­ Did You Show Off at the Provincial People¡¯s Congress Again? ¡°` Qian Liang pondered for a moment, then picked up his mobile phone and directly dialed the phone number of Wei Zhi from the thoracic surgery department of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital. ¡°Director Wei, there is a patient currently on the way to your hospital, and both of us doctors suspect it¡¯s a case of lung echinocosis. Please make the necessary preparations in advance,¡± he said. Upon hearing this, Wei Zhi¡¯s face immediately changed! A patient with lung echinocosis. This wasn¡¯t an ordinary disease, was it? His own hospital might really not be able to handle it. If the patient¡¯s condition was stable, it was still better to transfer to another hospital in a timely manner. Otherwise, any dy in the condition or an ident during surgery would be disastrous!N?v(el)B\\jnn Although Wei Zhi had never performed such surgery, he had seen it many times. As a very special branch of thoracic surgery, echinocosis was very rare. Typically, this disease is moremon in the departments of hepatobiliary and general surgery.
    It was rarely seen in thoracic surgery, and even when it urred, it was moremon in provinces with pastoral areas. Sometimes, many diseases have regional characteristics, which give many hospitals their specialties. Take a simple example; in the southern part of Dongyang Province, where the coal industry thrives, the pulmonary, thoracic, and orthopedic departments in those hospitals and mining bureau hospitals are very strong. That¡¯s because coal minersmonly suffer from respiratory diseases, pulmonary diseases, and fractures caused by injuries. The same is true for different regions. This kind of lung hydatid disease is rare in central cities, and only a few cases have been seen asionally. But in recent years, thanks to developed transportation and an increase in poption movement, it could still ur. Otherwise, it was very unlikely for central cities to encounter such diseases! In the areas downstream of the Yangtze River and the southern regions, where there are more water environments like paddy fields, parasitic diseases are also rtively moremon. In central northern cities like this, one might go their entire career as a doctor without encountering such diseases. Therefore, upon hearing Qian Liang¡¯s words, Wei Zhi¡¯s first reaction was to hesitate. ¡°This, Dean Qian, how is the patient¡¯s condition right now?¡± he asked. Qian Liang¡¯s expression was somewhat solemn, and he said in a low voice, ¡°Allergic shock, must immediately start anti-allergy treatment and be ready for surgery at any time. Transfer¡­ there¡¯s no time.¡± In such a time, if a student suddenly died at the school, the speed and impact of the news spreading would be immense! Especially during the new student orientation! If the treatment seeded, it would absolutely be good news, and for the reputation of Dongyang Medical University, it would be a great thing! After all, such news is very positive! Because the university itself is a medical school, carrying the responsibility of training medical personnel. If the treatment was sessful, once the students spread the word, their sense of pride and belonging would surge dramatically, and the positive influence on the inte and in various circles would also grow increasingly higher. On the other hand, it could also subtly highlight Dongyang Medical University¡¯s medical technology and expertise, having an overwhelmingly positive impact on showcasing the school¡¯s medical capabilities! But¡­
    If the treatment failed, the implications would be enormous. The negative impact could be suppressed through the influence within the circle. The message could be prevented from spreading. But then!
    What would the students think? A student died and instead of the school trying its best to save them sessfully, it focused on controlling public opinion. Qian Liang was adamant about not wanting to see such a thing happen. In the long run, it would chill the hearts of all the students! ¡°It takes ten years to nurture trees and a hundred to nurture people¡±; the situation couldn¡¯t be allowed to ruin the reputation of Dongyang Medical University, nor could it affect the hearts of countless students aspiring to be medical practitioners. ¡°` Qian Liang thought more and more that they should go all out on this matter! To give the students a positive, active influence. To erect a beacon of confidence for the children! Upon hearing Qian Liang¡¯s words, Wei Zhi took a deep breath, ¡°Dean Qian, I¡¯ll be frank with you. My personal expertise in lung hydatid cyst removal surgery is quite limited, because such operations are too rare locally, and weck practice.¡± ¡°Not to make youugh, but it¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve encountered such a patient. It¡¯s been a long time since our hospital has too. Thest time we had one, we invited an expert from Inner Mongolia to perform the surgery.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s no time for a transfer, I¡¯ll do my best to provide treatment, but I still need to say what must be said to you.¡± At this point, Wei Zhi couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat embarrassed and blushed. Qian Liang was taken aback, he had transferred to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital partly because their thoracic surgery was a bit stronger than that of Dongda First Hospital.
    But it turned out that even here it was no good! How high is the sess rate of a transfer? Qian Liang turned around to look at Chen Cang and Jing Ran, who both recognized and suggested the name of the disease. They must understand it, so¡­ what if they could perform the surgery? ¡°If it¡¯s confirmed to be a lung hydatid cyst, can you perform the surgery?¡± Chen Cang and Jing Ran, in unison, nodded and said, ¡°We can!¡± When Qian Liang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He picked up the phone and spoke to Wei Zhi, ¡°Director Wei, I¡¯ve brought two doctors who can perform the surgery. It was their suspicion that diagnosed the lung hydatid cyst.¡± Wei Zhi, puzzled, heard this and asked out of curiosity, ¡°Oh? Who might that be? Are they from Dongyang?¡± Qian Liang responded, ¡°One is a talent recently recruited from the capital, Jing Ran, who did his postdoctorate at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital in thoracic surgery. The other is¡­ a doctor from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital.¡± After listening to this, Wei Zhi also paused for a moment, an externally recruited talent? But hearing it was a postdoctoral fellow, Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but hesitate. Postdoctoral fellow, postdoctoral fellow, sounds impressive, but they are all good at talking, writing papers, doing research¡ªwhen ites to clinical work¡­ some are just armchair strategists¡­ Hopefully, this Jing Ran has some real skills. After all, Fuwai Hospital¡¯s cardiothoracic surgery is indeed exceptional. But¡­ a doctor from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital? Proficient in thoracic surgery¡­ A certain name suddenly leapt to his mind.
    Could it be Chen Cang? Thinking of Chen Cang, Wei Zhi suddenly felt it was a possibility, recalling thest time he saw Chen Cang¡¯s thoracic surgery on esophageal burst repair at the Second Provincial Hospital, Wei Zhi suddenly believed that Chen Cang really could be capable! So, Wei Zhi asked, ¡°Is it¡­ Chen Cang?¡± Qian Liang was dumbfounded, what was this, not following the script? I¡¯ve been introducing Jing Ran at length, he¡¯s the postdoctoral fellow in thoracic surgery from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital! And you¡¯re asking me¡­ is it Chen Cang? No, that¡¯s not right¡­ Could it be that Wei Zhi knows Chen Cang? Qian Liang hesitated and then nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital! Do you know him, Director Wei?¡± Wei Zhi nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief, ¡°If Doctor Chen says he can do it, then that¡¯s good enough for me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll immediately arrange for a rescue, and I¡¯ll get an operating room ready as soon as possible!¡± These words left Qian Liangpletely dumbfounded. What was this situation?
    Qian Liang really wanted to turn around and ask: Chen Cang¡­ did you show off again at the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital? Chapter 221: 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 ount. After all, this disease ismon 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 sess rate that surpassed top tier hospitals such as Xiehe and West China, earning great acim. 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 alreadye 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 headpletely 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 uprge amounts of water-like or membrane-like matter, and allergic reactions can ur. Severe cases can lead to anaphctic shock, andrge 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 nce 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,posed analysis, quick disease assessment, and timely patient transport. The sequence of actions was like an emergencybo, which made Jing Ran feel genuinely moved and respectful! Most crucially, he hadn¡¯t expected Chen Cang to make such an urate 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 ofpetence! 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, ¡°Echinocal 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 echinocal 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 toplete the diagnosis.¡± At this moment, Jing Ran suddenly said, ¡°The uracy of B-ultrasound in diagnosing echinocal cysts is over 90%, but it is not as urate for diagnosing cysts that have ruptured or are infected. Moreover, for suspected lung echinocal cysts, abdominal ultrasound or CT scans are essential examinations. Such examinations are particrly important for preoperative assessments of right lung lesions, as surgery can treat right lung and liver echinocal cysts simultaneously.¡± ¡°Now, we can definitely diagnose lung echinocal cysts with B-ultrasound, but two things are not very clear: whether there are also echinoci in the liver and whether the lung echinoci 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 nning!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 rted to how the surgery should proceed. Because theplexity of lung echinocal cysts lies in the fact that the surgery isn¡¯t as simple as just one cyst¡ªthere could be multiple cysts! If the cyst isrge, it¡¯s indeed detectable, but what if the echinocus 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 inneryers of the lung echinocal cysts¡ªit was the key factor affecting surgery! The biochemical tests would take at least another three to four hours, especially theplement fixation test and immunological examinations, which were rtively 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 aboutter? Therefore, a detailed n was a must.
    Put simply, with theplexity of the patient¡¯s condition, who could take the helm? Who could be themander with the necessary skills, was especially critical. It was like two armies on the verge of battle, there must be amander 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 simr 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 ites to imaging data.¡± Chapter 222: 223: Show Off Moves! (1/3 additional for Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan) Chapter 222: Chapter 223: Show Off Moves! (1/3 additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan) Before long, Director Bai of the ultrasound department and Director Yue of the radiology department had arrived. The emergency rescue room was packed with people. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the result. Ultrasounds had been done, CT scans had been taken, and everyone was waiting for the surgery to be scheduled. But still, there was no clear answer! Because when it came down to it, no one knew how to approach this disease. The most critical aspect of pulmonary hydatid cyst surgery was to remove the inner cyst intact. It absolutely could not be ruptured because if it was, the consequences would be severe. However, after reviewing the results of the examination, everyone fell back into discussion. Indeed, they had a clear understanding ofmon diseases and even general illnesses, but when it came to such a rare hydatid cyst, the imaging examinations stumped everyone. Unable to help himself, Qian Liang asked, ¡°Jing Ran, what do you think?¡±
    Jing Ran was at a loss for words. I stand here, watching¡­ At that moment, Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°I do have an idea, but I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s feasible.¡± Everyone was startled and turned to look at Chen Cang. Wei Zhi¡¯s eyes lit up. To be honest, he had high hopes for Chen Cang, but since the patient had arrived, Zhang Peiyi had ced even more trust in Jing Ran; and since Chen Cang had been silent all along, Wei Zhi didn¡¯t say much either. As for Zhang Peiyi, he favored and trusted Jing Ran even more; after all, he was a postdoctoral researcher from Fuwai, so without a doubt, he must bepetent¡ªthere was no question about that. Moreover, in the process of diagnosing and treating a disease, the biggest concern was inconsistency inmand. It was fine for everyone to freely discuss the disease, but when facing a situation, there must be a central figure to take charge! Throughout the entire time, everyone had immense trust in Jing Ran, and Chen Cang was very aware of his ce. He didn¡¯t utter an extra word. The patient also underwent examinations ording to Jing Ran¡¯s arrangements, and the heads of the examination departments had also arrived to assist in diagnosis and treatment. After all the arranged tasks werepleted, there still had to be someone to draw a conclusion from this examination! That person was Jing Ran. But at this moment, Jing Ran felt somewhat powerless. He suddenly realized how important the tform truly was. At Fuwai, he could perform an amazing surgery and treat a very serious patient. He could also face life-threatening conditions without panic¡ªit dawned on him that it was because he had a group of solid and remarkable teammates! They were all leaders in their field, capable of providing extremely reliable suggestions. But at this moment, Jing Ran found that his pride from before seemed somewhat false. What should he do? He didn¡¯t know. Deciding on a correct surgical n was particrly important at that moment! This was his first battle in Dongyang Province. He couldn¡¯t afford any mistakes because every mistake meant the fading of a patient¡¯s life¡­
    Seeing the hopeful looks of those around him, Jing Ran panicked for the first time. At that moment, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Jing Ran suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe he could do it? In the eyes of a doctor.
    Nothing is more important than the patient¡¯s life, not even their own pride! At least in Chen Cang¡¯s eyes, there was always a firm gaze. Wei Zhi said, ¡°Xiao Chen, what do you think?¡± Chen Cang replied, ¡°I have a small idea. Let¡¯s all go look at the films together, starting with the X-rays.¡± As he spoke, Chen Cang hung up the films. ¡°Everyone look here. Typically, the characteristic image will show single or multiple, well-circumscribed, clearly delineated, uniformly dense, round or ovoid, or lobted shadows¡ªthis is undeniable.¡± ¡°Butrge pulmonary hydatid cysts can cause mediastinal shift and diaphragm depression. Under these circumstances, during fluoroscopy, one may observe changes in the size and shape of the hydatid cyst upon deep breathing, or an irregr deformation caused by pleural adhesion, known as the ¡®hydatid cyst respiratory sign.¡¯ This sign is often seen in moderately sized hydatid cysts of the lower pulmonary lobes.¡± With these words, Yue Tao, the head of radiology, suddenly pped his hands on his bald spot, ¡°Right! I remember now, that¡¯s it, the hydatid cyst respiratory sign! I was wondering why it seemed so strange!¡± Chen Cang nodded and continued, ¡°If surgery is needed, we need to assess the internal and external cysts.¡± Jing Ran made a sound of agreement, ¡°That¡¯s right, we now need to determine the condition of the internal and external cysts. Whether there has been a rupture, from where we should begin, Doctor Chen, can you make an assessment?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°More or less. Look, the B-ultrasound shows that the cyst wall is thickened with irregr infiltrative shadows surrounding it, which is obviously due to an infection. And see here, there¡¯s a clear presence of air-containing cyst, cavity, and pneumonia-like pseudotumor shadows, which means it has already broken into the bronchial tree.¡± At this point, Chen Cang turned around, ¡°So, this precisely exins the patient¡¯s condition: choking cough, severe coughing, and coughing up powder-like secretions are due to breaking into the bronchi, causing what¡¯s called an allergic shock!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up!
    Jing Ran suddenly became excited; this was right! These were the kind of teammates he wanted. It was as if he were suddenly back at Fuwai. Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Please, continue, Doctor Chen.¡± Chen Cang nodded, put down the B-ultrasound, and picked up another X-ray, ¡°Next, we need to map out the location. Look here, although the echinocal cyst has ruptured into the main bronchus, notice this crescent. This is known as a crescent sign, which develops when a small amount of air enters between the internal and external cysts, creating an arc-shaped transparent band.¡± ¡°It¡¯s clear that the internal cyst has not ruptured. If it had, so-called irregr shadows would appear, and the double arch sign would emerge when air gets in. And if it floats on the surface of the cyst fluid, we see what is called the water lily sign.¡± ¡­ After finishing his exnation, Chen Cang looked at Jing Ran, ¡°So, that¡¯s the situation now. My suggestion is to perform an intact endocystectomy because more than one-third of the hydatid cyst is protruding from the lung surface. If removed sessfully, it would entirely prevent recurrence, making it the most ideal surgical approach.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om At this moment, Jing Ran was visibly excited, ¡°Exactly! That¡¯s what I was thinking, too.¡± The department heads around them were dumbfounded. They had been called in to assist with the consult, but now¡­ It seemed as if they had watched Chen Cang¡¯s one-man show! It appeared they had not yed much of a role.
    Chen Cang turned to Wei Zhi and Zhang Peiyi, ¡°Directors, let¡¯s prepare for surgery.¡± Wei Zhi nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the operating room!¡± After Chen Cang and Jing Ran left, they left a group of people staring in astonishment. Zhang Peiyi couldn¡¯t help but swallow, ¡°Dean Qian, this Doctor Chen¡­ is he talent you brought in? Such an impressive young man, and¡­ he looks to be only in his twenties?¡± Yue Tao nodded, ¡°Indeed, Doctor Chen¡¯s radiographic interpretation skills are truly admirable. I haven¡¯t seen such an outstanding young man in many years. Is he from your hospital?¡± Qian Liang mumbled to himself, ¡°Ah¡­ he¡¯s not one of the doctors we brought in.¡± Everyone was startled, ¡°Oh? Then who is he¡­?¡± Qian Liang said helplessly, ¡°He is a graduate student at our hospital this year, a first-year master¡¯s student!¡± Everyone eximed in surprise, and Zhang Peiyi nodded, ¡°Oh, no wonder he looks so young.¡± But that¡¯s not right! Zhang Peiyi suddenly grasped the gravity of what he¡¯d heard! ¡°He¡¯s only a first-year graduate student? That¡¯s impossible!¡± Yue Tao was also full of shock and disbelief, ¡°It can¡¯t be! How could someone be so skilled as a first-year master¡¯s student! He¡¯s so talented I want to talk to the dean about recruiting him to work directly; what a waste to have him as a graduate student!¡±
    Zhang Peiyi too, had an all too familiar look in his eyes ¨C a look of longing. He had felt it himself¡­ Seeing this, Qian Liang shook his head, ¡°Director Zhang, don¡¯t even think about it. Chen Cang is Li Baoshan¡¯s prized prot¨¦g¨¦!¡± Zhang Peiyi smiled awkwardly, ¡°Which Li Baoshan?¡± Qian Liang replied, ¡°Li Baoshan, Li Heitan from the Provincial Second Hospital.¡± Upon hearing this, Zhang Peiyi was instantly deted, muttering under his breath that Li Heitan had indeed lucked out¡­ ¡­ Watching Chen Cang¡¯s retreating figure, Qian Liang sighed deeply, full of regret. If only he had made a move earlier, this could have been his disciple! Ah¡­ what a fine young man, so exceptional. What use is saving face,pared to having such a genius?¡­ Ah¡­ Chapter 223: 224: Unsteady Taoist Heart (2/3 additional for Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan) Chapter 223: Chapter 224: Unsteady Taoist Heart (2/3 additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan) On the way to the operating room, Jing Ran was brimming with curiosity about Chen Cang! Walking side by side with Chen Cang, Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Doctor Chen, where did you learn to deal with pulmonary hydatid cysts?¡± Chen Cang pondered, ¡°Are you talking about surgery or diagnosis?¡± Jing Ran replied, ¡°Both, but let¡¯s start with diagnosis. I find that you seem very proficient with X-ray CT and ultrasound. How did you manage that?¡± Chen Cang gave a cough, ¡°I spent two months in the radiology department, and one month in the ultrasound room.¡± Jing Ran was immediately at a loss for words and suddenly didn¡¯t feel like talking to Chen Cang anymore. Who tries to fob someone off like that? Do you think I¡¯m a fool? However, looking into Chen Cang¡¯s determined eyes, Jing Ran¡­ still didn¡¯t believe him! That¡¯s just impossible!
    Are you fucking kidding me? You¡¯re better than my postdoc ssmates in just one month?N?v(el)B\\jnn Jing Ran felt that Chen Cang was either bragging or brushing him off. Later, while washing his hands, Jing Ran still couldn¡¯t hold back and cautiously asked, ¡°Doctor Chen, then where did you learn how to remove pulmonary hydatid cysts?¡± Chen Cang replied, ¡°I just allocated 10 skill points and directly reached advanced level!¡± [Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Removal Surgery: Advanced, Special Effect: Stability: (The cyst wall is rtively thin, often located deeper within the lungs with poor exposure, prone to rupture. Skillful techniques can make the cyst removal process as steady as Mount Tai.)] Chen Cang was very pleased with this skill, as it was the result of hundreds of hours of continuous study. Hearing Jing Ran¡¯s question, Chen Cang sighed, ¡°During my internship, I spent a month in the thoracic surgery department.¡± Jing Ran thought, should I say the mmp phrase or not? I treated you like a friend, and you treat me like an idiot, is that appropriate? Jing Ran felt some anger, swearing to himself to expose Chen Cang¡¯s hypocrisy, ¡°Doctor Chen, you were going to the orientation ceremony today to make a speech, right?¡± Chen Cang was startled, ¡°Today is the start of graduate school, and I went to the auditorium to listen to your speech, really, I¡¯m not lying to you. Don¡¯t think I¡¯m bragging, everything I said is true!¡± Qian Liang didn¡¯t know when he had started following them and said in a faint voice. ¡°That¡¯s right, Doctor Jing, Chen really is a new first-year graduate student at our school this year, specializing in thoracic surgery.¡± Suddenly, Jing Ran discovered that his perfected, to the level of perfection, the ¡°Seven steps of handwashing¡± somehow got stuck at the sixth step and he couldn¡¯t move on. He stared deeply at Chen Cang: You¡¯ve shaken my convictions! Chen Cang sighed and looked at Jing Ran, ¡°Be content, I haven¡¯t destroyed your foundation yet!¡± The exchange of nces between the two caught Qian Liang¡¯s attention, making him marvel at what he presumed to be a mutual understanding. As Qian Liang was washing his hands, the time it took to perform the Seven Steps of Handwashing, a good poem came to mind. A hero has three helpers
    A fence has three stakes Three people take on one operation In the end, it all depends on Chen Cang. Ah¡­ in the past Cao Zhi could write a poem in seven steps, and today I, Qian someone, can also write a poem while performing the Seven Steps of Handwashing.
    At this time, Wei Zhi and Zhang Peiyi also arrived, just about to enter when suddenly Wei Zhi said, ¡°Director, turn on the camera!¡± Zhang Peiyi was taken aback, ¡°Why?¡± Wei Zhi replied, ¡°I witnessed one of Chen Cang¡¯s surgeriesst time, and it was truly outstanding. I reckon there will be more good stuff today. Plus, such special cases are really rare; it would be good to keep a record for our doctors to learn from.¡± Zhang Peiyi hesitated, ¡°Director Wei, isn¡¯t that a bit much? However talented Chen Cang might be, it¡¯s not to that extent, right? Such surgeries are rare here, but we could totally share and learn from other hospitals!¡± Wei Zhi shook his head, ¡°You don¡¯t understand; you will soon!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Jing Ran didn¡¯t know why, but before the surgery even began, he suddenly felt ack of confidence. He felt his Dao heart was influenced by the momentum from earlier. Watching Chen Cang go to the bottomne alone without selling any equipment, Jing Ran hesitated, wondering whether he should follow with some support gear. At this moment, he saw Director Wei unexpectedly stand by Chen Cang¡¯s side, running together to the bottomne. Jing Ran sighed, decided to jungle, and nned to gank the bottomne moreter. After the anesthesia was in ce, the surgery was ready to begin!
    Chen Cang drew the boundaries for the surgery and determined the incision site. He reached for the scalpel and started the procedure step by step, following the pre-drawn area. As the chest wall was openedyer byyer, everyone couldn¡¯t help but feel worried and tense. Because they had never actually seen a hydatid cyst in the lungs! Thinking of the disgusting hydatid cysts, everyone couldn¡¯t help but grow eager. Jing Ran turned and said, ¡°Fiverge gauze pads, soaked in saline for me.¡± Just as Chen Cang was about to put down the knife, he saw Jing Ran usingrge gauze pads to elevate the diseased lung as much as possible, bringing the cyst closer to or beyond one end of the incision. Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, looking at Jing Ran with admiration and couldn¡¯t help butpliment, ¡°Not bad.¡± Jing Ran was startled, thepliment sounded strange, but¡­ why did he feel a little happy being praised by Chen Cang? Jing Ran sighed, and the surgery continued. Wei Zhi couldn¡¯t resist asking, ¡°Why elevate it?¡± Wei Zhi found ADC Chen Cang calmly farming and ignoring him, while jungler Jing Ran said, ¡°This way, the lung hydatid cyst can be fully exposed, making it easier to open the outeryerter.¡± ¡°When cutting the outeryer, you have to stop venttion, and what¡¯s extremely crucial is to keep it steady!¡±
    At that moment, Chen Cang turned to the anesthesiologist and said, ¡°Stop the breathing.¡± The anesthesiologist nodded. Now the surgery had reached a critical point. As breathing movements ur, the lungs are constantly contracting, even under anesthesia. The opening of the outeryer needs to be done with very steady technique, which requires pausing the breathing. Many might ask, wouldn¡¯t pausing breathing cause oxygen shortage? With today¡¯s advanced equipment, the heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation can be monitored through sensors on the finger. Some procedures continue for several minutes, and there has never been a problem with blood oxygen saturation. Pausing breathing is not a new technique; it has over a hundred years of foundation. Back then, this method was discovered, and people only needed to deliver oxygen deep into the lungs to be utilized by the body; we don¡¯t need to keep breathing continuously. In that moment, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but take a few deep breaths himself. The anesthesiologist said, ¡°Ready.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ready to begin the operation. At this time, Jing Ran also carefully avoided any disturbance and prepared for everything.
    Because what wasing next in the surgery was very critical. But what Chen Cang saw was not just that. [Ding! Lung Hydatid Cyst Monster, lv51, rare creature.] This was the first time Chen Cang encountered a creature above level 50, and it was truly a monster this time. A parasite! ps: Temporarily five updates, 2-3 more updates at 12 noon tomorrow, depending on how things go, thank you to Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan for the generous 100,000 reward, thank you!

What does that mean? Everyone has had the experience of exining something to someone else, and during the process, there¡¯s a feeling that as you¡¯re exining, you¡¯re also improving yourself. You might discover your own shorings 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¡¯tg 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 ho¡¯s nest. Far fromining, Chen Cang was actually grateful that this could potentially shorten the time needed toplete 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. Aftering out of the treatment room, it was almost 2 p.m. Chen Cang stretched outzily, 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 w in the Bunnell suture method. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help eximing, ¡°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 ie. 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 bup-sack-like garments that obscure everything underneath. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°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 formfort foods were satisfying. They both feltfortably full and content. Only if they could take a nap right now, it would be perfect. However, because they got off workte 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 theint 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 taskpleted, 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 healingter on and also doesn¡¯t cause adhesions that could be triggered by foreign material or suture ends.¡± ¡°However, its operation is quiteplicated. 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 unounted for, and after countless surgeries, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of the Bunnell Suture had deepened, and his sess 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 evenbine 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 tutge.
    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 sess of the Bunnell Suture Method had advanced Chen Cang¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery a significant step closer to perfection on that road! ¡­ Chapter 225: 226: Youre Simply a Genius! (Adding an extra 1/2 for Sect Leader) Chapter 225: Chapter 226: You¡¯re Simply a Genius! (Adding an extra chapter 1/2 for Sect Leader) Jing Ran felt somewhat perplexed. He did not know why he had done that. Jing Ran was a bit astonished. Shouldn¡¯t I stick to my true self? Jing Ran felt somewhat discontent! Why couldn¡¯t I control my own hands? Jing Ran carefully received the water and looked at Chen Cang, nodding, ¡°I¡¯m ready!¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Good!¡± With one word of praise, Jing Ran¡¯s heart melted, heplimented me again. [Ding! Favorability +5.]
    The anesthesiologist said to Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, when shall we begin?¡± The anesthesiologist held great respect for this young yet capable man who could manage a ¡°one drags four¡± surgery, addressing him honorably as ¡°Doctor Chen.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Wait a moment, I will count down from 3-2-1!¡± After saying this, Chen Cang carefully held the inner capsule with both hands and nced at Jing Ran, ¡°Do you know what I¡¯m about to do?¡± Jing Ran did not know just now, but he knew now! You¡¯re going to show off! But he dared not say it. Swallowing his saliva, he slightly frowned, ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Wei Zhi also sighed anxiously, I dare not ask, I dare not say¡­ Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°I¡¯m nning to inte the lungs and use the airflow and thrust from lung expansion during a breath to push up the entire cyst, letting it fall into the basin filled with saline.¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± With just one sentence, Jing Ran was left dumbstruck! ¡°Holy shit!¡± Coming from a schrly family, Jing Ran couldn¡¯t help but blurt out an expletive! This was something he could never have imagined himself! Even when he first saw the lotus pod breasts, he did not show the slightest ripple, but now, hearing Chen Cang¡¯s idea, he couldn¡¯t help himself! An expletive escaped his lips! (If you¡¯re curious, you can search on Baidu, but don¡¯te back and scold me, and definitely don¡¯t tear your ticket, tip: it¡¯s clearer when erged¡­ and tastes better with food). What kind of genius idea was this? To think you could use breath and muscr force to push out the inner capsule! This was simply a genius idea!
    Chen Cang was too impressive, wasn¡¯t he? Awesome! So awesome! Thinking of this, Jing Ran¡¯s eyes widened in amazement as he looked at Chen Cang, realizing in a sh, ¡°You mean¡­!¡±
    Chen Cang looked at Jing Ran and smiled, ¡°You really are a clever little devil!¡± [Ding! Favorability +5.] [Ding! Favorability +5.] [Ding! Favorability +5.] Three times in a row. To be honest, Jing Ran had never imagined that such a method could be used to extract the inner capsule. This was definitely a new surgical technique! A new method and concept for lung hydatid cystectomy! Chen Cang was simply a genius! Thinking this, Jing Ran¡¯s look towards Chen Cang underwent many changes. I must have a good chat with Chen Cang. When Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang again, he thought a lot and thought far ahead. He imagined the future scene of the Wu Jieping Medical Prize ceremony, imagined standing on the Nobel Prize podium thanking people, imagined seeing Chen Cang, the Nobel nominee and juror, looking satisfied after seeing his own award¡­
    So much anticipation! Chen Cang said to the anesthesiologist, ¡°3¡ª2¡ª1, inte the lungs!¡± The anesthesiologist nodded! With the restoring tension of the lung breathing, the cyst growing on the lung was instantly pushed up. Chen Cang carefully assisted with the momentum! ¡°Plop¡± The inner capsule of the cyst was removed! At that moment, everyone couldn¡¯t help but get excited! Wei Zhi looked at Chen Cang excitedly, ¡°Little Chen, that was brilliant!¡± Qian Liang was silent, he decided he was going to do something bigter, the kind that no one could stop. Zhang Peiyi decided to have a good talk with Li Baoshan about coborative matters in emergency care. And at that moment, Jing Ran holding the inner capsule, felt as if he were standing on the Nobel Prize podium, basking in everyone¡¯s gazes. At that moment, he became the center of attention¡­
    with assistance. But Jing Ran didn¡¯t care, after all, no major surgery that could bepleted by one person didn¡¯t involve a team. Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Hurry up, we still need to perform the residual cavity surgery.¡± Jing Ran nodded. Chen Cang asked Jing Ran, ¡°Do you know how to perform a lung discoid procedure?¡± Jing Ran was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with joy, ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes!¡± Was Chen Cang finally giving him an opportunity to showcase himself? Thinking this, Jing Ran¡¯s look at Chen Cangpletely changed. Skilled! Innovative! And tolerant! Although the lung discoid procedure was a bit challenging, it was much simpler than the one before, or rather, it had be much moremon. It involved clearing the outer capsule¡¯s shattered, infected cystic lining, purulent secretions, and necrotic lung tissues.
    Of course, Jing Ran knew that Chen Cang was doing this entirely to save his own face. After all, this was his first battle, and he hadn¡¯t had the chance to show his skills since his arrival. This certainly led the leadership to have an opinion of him, considering him to be just for show, no, aplete dud. But now, Chen Cang¡¯s magnanimity made Jing Ran feel somewhat embarrassed! This person was worth getting to know deeply! He would prove himself with his abilities, show Chen Cang! Let Chen Cang see that he wasn¡¯t a mere figurehead! ¡­ [Ding, Jing Ran¡¯s favorability +10.] Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but nce at Jing Ran, thinking how light-hearted this person was, brushing up to nearly 30 points of favorability in a single surgery? At this thought, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help worrying about Geng Yan. Could it be that Jing Ran was a yboy? The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more he felt he should discuss this issue with Geng Yan when they had time. Jing Ran smoothly took over the surgery. At this moment, as Chen Cang watched Jing Ran¡¯s surgery, he couldn¡¯t help nodding to himself; he really was talented. Whether it was trimming the useless tissue around the excised outer capsule cavity or suturing the bronchial fist, both were very refined and delicate. If the system were to evaluate, these operations would at least be of an advanced level. During surgery, it was necessary to repeatedly rinse the residual cavity and thoracic cavity with 3% hydrogen peroxide, followed by a rinse with metronidazole and saline solution, rinsing again and again. After all, this cyst was no good thing, and there had been previous damage to the outer capsule with exposed contents. Chen Cang¡¯s eyes did not detect any residual cysts. This surgery wouldn¡¯t be too troublesome. The only concern was the damage to the inner capsule, which Chen Cang had skillfully resolved. Jing Ran¡¯s surgery also made Wei Zhi and Qian Liang light up. Jing Ran really had some tricks up his sleeve. Wei Zhi, watching the surgery, even felt an itching in his hands, wanting to try it out himself. About half an hourter, the surgery waspletely finished. Very smooth. Wei Zhi smiled, ¡°Doctor Jing truly did shine as a top graduate from Fuwai, those techniques were impressive!¡± Qian Liang also nodded, ¡°Doctor Jing has a very solid foundation.¡± Jing Ran smiled without saying a word. He was waiting for Chen Cang to praise him so that after Chen Cang did, he could respond, ¡°No, no, Doctor Chen is also quite impressive.¡± But¡­ After a long wait, Chen Cang didn¡¯t say anything, which surprised Jing Ran. Turning around, he noticed Chen Cang had already left the operating table. This left Jing Ran in an awkward position¡­ Quite ufortable. But at least, the surgery had been a sess! The anesthetist, watching Jing Ran, Wei Zhi, Qian Liang, and Zhang Peiyiplimenting each other, couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly. You lucky dogs, alwayspeting for MVP, the real expert¡­ Of course, the anesthetist only thought this, not daring to speak out, as they were all directors after all¡­ Ah, my life is hard. Huh?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Where did the expert go? Chen Cang, where did you go? Huh? Why was the expert taking photos? ¡­ ¡­ ps: I¡¯m not feeling great, managed only two and a half chapters today, let¡¯s settle with this for now, seven in total. I¡¯ll try harder tomorrow¡­ emmmmm Chapter 226: 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 sopassionate!¡± 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!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 ttery a bit too much? Just because you like echinocus means you like small animals? Could you at least be a bit more heartfelt with your ttery? 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 rtions with them, bing 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 eximed, ¡°Eek¡­ it looks so disgusting.¡± The head nursemented, ¡°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 getbeled 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 now of thend! 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 copse 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 Echinocosis 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-rted 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 cardiovascr surgery, proficient and skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascr 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 Echinocosis 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 shiftter!¡± 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 y 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 exmation, Qin Xiaoyuan¡¯s face darkened as he red at her, unable to refrain from scolding, ¡°Qin Yue, you¡¯re a youngdy, what are you doing! Show some manners!¡± Qin Yue¡¯s mother also nced 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 difort 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 nce, 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: 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 echinocosis, 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 ounts, with two phones! One phone was all about the food series, the other was like a surgical exhibition hall. All sorts of bizarre galldders, special appendices, rare cysts¡­ Chen Cang felt that he should enlighten his ssmates 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,posed a message, and then attached a picture.
    ¡°Dragon ying 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 apaniment Beneath the soft inner cyst, the worm¡¯s super high What rhythm is the swaying bestn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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. Inparison, 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¡­¡± s¡­ ¡­ 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 ident, 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 andughed 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 andughing just a moment ago, suddenly threw her phone and let out a sharp scream. Themotion 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 morefortable¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go, we have a dinner, all with our Dongyang Medical University ssmates. 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 nced 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¡¯ste today. Some other time when you¡¯re free,e 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 ck belt, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Chapter 228: 229: Stop, Chen the Dog! Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Stop, Chen the Dog! [Ding! Congrattions, 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 shiftst 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 Xiann 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 sleepwalkst 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 Xiann sneered, ¡°Misunderstanding? What a misunderstanding. Come on, see for yourself, where is the misunderstanding?¡± As she spoke, Tian Xiann 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 sentst 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 finest 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 allmon 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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¡¯te. 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. Aftering 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 nced at Wang Qian, and her big eyes twinkling, she nodded, ¡°Yes!¡± The nurses in the emergency departmentughed, ¡°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 nced 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 disyed 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 wille see you again, sob sob¡­¡± She burst into tears as soon as she left the door. This promptedughter 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 257: 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 canplete a month ofprehensive rehabilitation at our hospital. In fact, the concept of cure is difficult to delineate urately because we can only judge based on the information we have and our experience. Although we only have a forty percent sess 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 be 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 simr patients he treated, the sess 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 sessful 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 ny-five percent, with a significant recovery upying 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, theplexity 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 ces like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have one thing inmon: they tend to specialize inmon diseases and may study a minor ailment to the extreme. Whereas in the rtively 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 arger 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 y 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 insurancepany, it seemed there weren¡¯t many options left. The best treatment now was Wang Yushan¡¯s treatment n! 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 ns. 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 Roomter.¡± 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 pped his hands with joy, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s why you looked familiar! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you on such an asion, 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 Yushanughed heartily, ¡°The operation you performed for usst 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 p transntation 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.

(Extra for 3000 monthly votes) The girl continued to speak, ¡°It was hard enough to calm my mom down, and she only fell asleep after taking a sleeping pill, but just an hour ago, I suddenly heard a lot of noiseing from next door, so I quickly got up to check.¡± ¡°As soon as I entered the room, I saw my mom screaming her head off, and everything on the bed had been thrown on the floor!¡± ¡°When my mom saw mee in, she said, ¡®Daughter, look, behind you, they¡¯vee again!''¡± The girl felt her arms as if she were scared. Not to mention him, even Chen Cang and Lele were trembling a bit upon hearing this. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself. The girl went on, ¡°I was about to speak when my mom suddenly pointed behind me and shouted loudly, ¡®Go away! I¡¯m begging you, please go away!¡¯ But when I turned around, I couldn¡¯t see anything¡­¡± ¡°I was terrified at that moment and said, ¡®Mom, are you getting muddled?''¡± ¡°But my mom just clutched at my clothes and wouldn¡¯t let go, saying, ¡®It¡¯s right there, right there¡­''¡± ¡°I was about to speak when my mom started to run outside, shouting as she went, ¡®Don¡¯t chase me¡­ Don¡¯t grab me!''¡± ¡°Then we chased her here.¡± That was the end of the story¡­ Chen Cang felt a bit of a shiver himself, and shook his head quickly at the thought. He was a doctor; how could he indulge in superstitions like them? At this time, Lele and a few nurses were already scared and huddled together, afraid to speak. Chen Cang, pondering a change in the weather, asked, ¡°Has the olddy had any illnesses before? Has she taken any medication? Such as sleeping pills, painkillers or anything like that?¡± The girl wasn¡¯t very old, probably the youngest in the family, and shook her head, ¡°No, my mom is usually very healthy. She rarely takes sleeping pills, just in case someone needs one at an unexpected time. She barely takes painkillers and is usually in good spirits, going to the senior activity center every day to sing and dance. Oh! Right, she has high blood pressure. She¡¯s had it for over a decade, but she¡¯s always taken her medication.¡± Chen Cang thought it over, ruling out a history of mental illness and no diseases that would affect her mental state. After much consideration, he said, ¡°Let¡¯s get a CT scan of her head!¡± The daughter nodded, but still seemed frightened and uncertain as she asked, ¡°Okay, but¡­ doctor, is it possible my mom is possessed by a ghost? Seeing things that are unclean?¡± Before Chen Cang could respond, the daughter went on, ¡°Doctor, you¡¯ve seen a lot. Should I find a Taoist priest tomorrow to perform a ritual?¡± Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s first check if there is anything wrong with the patient¡¯s head.¡± By this time, the olddy was possibly worn out; she didn¡¯t make a sound and seemed to have fallen asleep. Chen Cang followed for the CT, fearing there might be some issue. But soon, the CT results came out, which were surprisingly unexpected to Chen Cang. No significant abnormalities (Report: multiple cavities in the bteral basal ganglia and semioval center). The daughter also said, ¡°My mom is really alright.¡± At this point, the girl said, ¡°How about this, doctor? Give my mom a tranquilizer shot, let her have a good sleep, and if she¡¯s fine tomorrow, then there¡¯s no issue. If not, I¡¯ll find a master to perform a ritual.¡± Chen Cang thought about it again and said, ¡°I think we should do an MRI¡­¡± The girl¡¯s husband was getting impatient, ¡°You¡¯re taking this too far! CT now, MRI next, what are you trying to do?¡± Upon hearing this, the girl said, ¡°Doctor, please don¡¯t mind him, I¡¯m fine with whatever, but¡­ don¡¯t make us undergo excessive diagnostics. Let¡¯s do something meaningful. You see what state my mom is in; as her child, I¡¯m really worried!¡± Clenching his teeth, Chen Cang insisted, ¡°I feel there¡¯s still a problem, and I strongly suggest you get an MRI of the head before leaving. If there¡¯s no problem then, I won¡¯t stop you guys.¡± The daughter pped her hands, ¡°Let¡¯s do the MRI then, think of it as a health check-up!¡± After finishing, he sent the man to pay the fee, and since it waste with no one around, the MRI was quickly done. Chen Cang looked at the scans and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, finally, there was a new finding! The clear images showed an infarct in the olddy¡¯s temporal parietal lobe on one side of the brain. Chen Cang, looking at the scans, knew the cause. The temporal lobe, which manages a person¡¯s emotions and psyche, was affected. An issue there could very likely lead to hallucinations. N?v(el)B\\jnn Chen Cang called the girl over and said, ¡°You see, it¡¯s a stroke that¡¯s causing the olddy to have hallucinations, not something filthy possessing her. She must be hospitalized for treatment.¡± The boy skeptically said, ¡°Isn¡¯t a stroke supposed to cause¡­ paralysis? What about the drooling, slurred speech, and numbness in the limbs? How could it be like this!¡± Chen Cang shook his head: ¡°The brain is themand center for all functional activities of the body, including our eating, drinking, excretion, our thinking, and our psychological, spiritual, and conscious activities. Therefore, theoretically, a variety of symptoms can appear after a stroke, including changes in personality, memory, and even psychiatric anomalies. But even with the variety of symptoms, some are still characteristic. For instance, paralysis often only appears on one side of the body or face, with bteral limb paralysis being quite rare. What¡¯s more distinctive is the onset of a stroke¡ªits sudden onset and rapid progression to peak severity have significant clinical diagnostic value.¡± ¡°So, your mother¡¯s condition is an acute temporal parietal lobe infarct, which suddenly caused emotional dysregtion, leading to a series of illnesses!¡± The girl, upon hearing this, instantly breathed a sigh of relief! ¡°You scared me to death, I thought she had been hexed or something! So¡­ doctor, what do we do now?¡± Chen Cang turned and looked at Lele, ¡°Lele, call the Department of Neurology, tell them we have a patient with an acute cerebral infarction who needs to be admitted to the hospital immediately.¡± As Chen Cang thought this, he exined, ¡°The reason I asked you to get a CT scan first is because CTs are more effective within a short period after cerebral hemorrhage, and they¡¯re cheaper, costing less than two or three hundred, which serves as a screening tool. But an MRI costs nearly nine hundred. However, its effectiveness in detecting acute strokes is better than that of a CT, so that¡¯s why I arranged it in this order.¡± The girl shook her head, her face finally calming down: ¡°Doctor, it¡¯s okay, as long as I know what¡¯s wrong with my mom.¡± Soon after, Dr. Zhang Lingyun from the Department of Neurology came down and transferred the patient to his department. Busy until three or four o¡¯clock, this strange patient was finally taken care of. The nurses were still somewhat in disbelief: ¡°Dr. Chen¡­ do you think it¡¯s possible that she was possessed by a ghost, and then suddenly had a stroke?¡± Chen Cang was left speechless: ¡°In the future, stop with the superstitions, you¡¯re scaring the patients!¡± After finishing, Chen Cang returned to his office. Recalling the patient from before, Chen Cang also smiled. The girl was understanding, and it was really rare to have a patient willing to cooperate with further examinations. Usually, if the CT scan doesn¡¯t reveal anything, they won¡¯t get further checks, and they¡¯ll misunderstand the doctor for over-testing. However¡­ the symptoms exhibited by human illnesses are sometimes incredibly strange, especially in cases of auditory and visual hallucinations. Sitting in his office, Chen Cang suddenly remembered he had something else to do, so he turned on the onlyputer in the office that was connected to the inte, about to log into his WeChat. Thisputer hardly ever got shut down, and was terribly slow. Chen Cang jiggled the mouse, and suddenly the screen lit up. He had just logged in when he was taken aback! Damn! I finally understand why my WeChat has been sending out photos to others! I didn¡¯t log out after using WeChat here two days ago! Andst night, Qin Yue was on the night shift! Realizing this, Chen Cang was itching with irritation, ¡°Good for you, Qin Bootlicker, just you wait till I deal with you tomorrow!¡± ps: For now, five updates, thank you all for your support¡­ ps, rmending a book,¡±Ancestor Simtor¡±by Zhong Cheng. Little did he expect that after bing the ancestor on the ancestral tablet, the real golden finger finally appeared in front of him! Chapter 231: 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 im 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 ce was crowded, just like thest 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 y 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, cing 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 sleepst 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 havee 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 eyshes 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?N?v(el)B\\jnn No way! If I don¡¯t show Qin Yue some color, she¡¯ll never learn her ce! Chen Cang felt his heart pounding faster and faster! He understood this was a battle of wits! And a sh 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 QRSplexes shortening in time and rising in frequency. Chen Cang knew all too well, this indicated his ventricr rate was elerating¡­ 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 seed, 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 abination 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 ufortable, 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 andposed! ¡­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 thest two chapters I wrotest 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: 233: Jing Rans Invitation Chapter 232: Chapter 233: Jing Ran¡¯s Invitation Afterpleting 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 ce 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¡­N?v(el)B\\jnn If only he had listened to Doctor Chen earlier. Now Jing Ran suddenly felt that higher education had some deficiencies and ws. 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-inw¡±¡­
    After all, everyone is getting older and has been stuck in school for so long without the time to interact with girls,cking experience inmunication 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 shouldmunicate 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 sess. His goal was not just to be a carefree department head at Dongyang No.1 Hospital; he needed a tform that could grow strong andrge, to build an excellent thoracic surgery team. However¡­ after his return, there were mixed oues, and the downside became apparent¡ªhecked a strong coborative 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 be 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 immediatelyughed; 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 particrly good mood today, humming a tune along with Chen Cang, which certainly made him feel a lot better. nning 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 butugh. Because when he opened the long-term mission option, he saw thatpleting 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 butugh at this. Chapter 233: 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 hical action. Delightfully looking at the 500 tendon sutures, Chen Cang suddenly became expectant. What kind of reward would there be forpleting two tasks at the same time? ¡°The Tendon Rehabilitation Guide¡± is a pretty nice thing; as an importantponent of sports medicine, it ys an essential role inter 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 nopetitionstely, no national schrships 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 be a director was uncertain¡­ The research goals would soon be met. Once his ¡°Liver Transntation¡± 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 richdies.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 stipted 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 theputer, ¡°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 thest time Chen Cang sent her a picture of lung echinocosis 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 bnce. 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 itcks 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 ofck of personnel, or some other reason? He even spected 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 morefortable out therepleting 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,e 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 havee 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 exined, ¡°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 rmend using microfibrir 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: 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, simr 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 microfment threads, were still significant. Once sewn into the human body, their external coating could effectively y a significant role. After listening to Chen Cang¡¯s exnation, 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 exnation, 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 butugh, ¡°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 wouldplicate earning a living! Moreover, the index finger is functionally very important; anyplications would be troublesome. Thinking of this, even though he gritted his teeth, he knew he had to proceed with what needed to be done.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 isplex 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 amodate short-term patients to handle such minor surgeries. Surgeries likeparoscopic acute appendectomy or cholecystectomy are examples, as they don¡¯t require much time from the patients. This is simr to the case for surgeries in the Department of Hand Surgery; in fact, after the stitching isplete, there is no need to stay in the hospital continuously. You take some anti-inmmatory 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 peoplee in a hurry and the procedure ispleted within an hour. You get up, walk away, and just wait to have the stitches removed. So, the emergency department isn¡¯t worried about ack of patients; it¡¯s more aboutcking 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 theycked a scientific basis, but rather, they achieved certain special aims after suturing with particr 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 oue. 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 academicmunity 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 sess 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 andid 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,bined with subsequent steps of treatment, aimed to reduce post-trauma inmmatory response and preventrge amounts of exudate from umting 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 rted to early debridement andter rehabilitation.¡± Qin Yue nodded without speaking, herrge 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: 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 Liangmented either on Zhou Xiaodong or Li Shijian. He had said that his surgerycked a soul! At the time, Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand at all what that meant. He thought thement was pretentious,cking any real substance, but now! Chen Cang had an epiphany! What does it mean tock 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 temte without your own thoughts and understanding,cking 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 ce, 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 vinc. 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 inmmatory 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 Cangbined 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 goalscks 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!¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 Xiann 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: 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 disy 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 toe 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 sessful setup of the hand surgery unit.¡±
    ¡°The development of our Provincial Second Hospital¡¯s surgery system has been rtively 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 rted 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 alles 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 arepetent. ¡­ ¡­ 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 sses shone more than before. Everyone had noints about this, after all, if the emergency department did well, everyone¡¯s ie 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,e 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 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 weed. 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 seeded 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 ss, and now more than twenty hade, 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: 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 ratherfortable. We formed arge circle and sat on the artificial turf, smelling the familiar rubber scent, and burst into heartyughter. 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 thest three years. We griped about how the hospitals didn¡¯t treat resident doctors like real doctors. Weined 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 theputer, carefully considered and studied each tendon suture surgery video, and then ressified 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 particrly 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 importancey in how to y to their strengths, avoid their shorings, 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¡¯sck 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. Inparison, 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. Inparison 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 aftering 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 theplex suturing methods on video, Qin Yue felt her head swell several sizesrger. 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 stic Surgery Hospital.
    Today, Fu Yn¡¯s recovery should beplete. The shape, size, sticity, 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After all, capable people are generally held in respect. While others merely shed 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 toe 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 (ncing 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 ept 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 theme 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 tform was important; otherwise, skills alone wouldn¡¯t be enough to make an impact. It looked like he would have to coborate more closely with Yang Tao and Qin Xiang in the future. ¡°` Chapter 238: 239: Unaware of Others Suffering, Do Not Urge Them to Be Magnanimous Chapter 238: Chapter 239: Unaware of Others¡¯ Suffering, Do Not Urge Them to Be Magnanimous Fu Yn was very excited; after all, from now on she could proudly be a woman, which would make anyone happy. And such a transformation was especially important for her! The change in physique is also extremely significant for a dancer; it means you can shine even brighter! A woman¡¯s physical beauty is fully expressed in dance, which tests not only the dance moves but also sets high standards for the figure. Fu Yn was thrilled, just like a child with a new toy, constantly discovering new features! It seemed like one person wasn¡¯t enough, so when Fu Yufang arrived, they simply startedparing themselves in pairs. When Chen Cang put on his white coat and entered Fu Yn¡¯s ward, knocking before he entered, the two sisters were thereparing themselves. Chen Cang smiled and looked at Fu Yn, ¡°How do you feel?¡± Fu Yn was very excited, her big eyes sparkling with joy: ¡°Great! Really great! It¡¯s fantastic! Dr. Chen, honestly, I really didn¡¯t expect it to turn out this way, I feel like the million changed not just my chest, but possibly my life! My future!¡± Actually, Fu Yn was already beautiful, with a fashion sense leaning towards Japanese-Korean style, making her look very trendy.
    Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Let me take a look at how it is now, make it more natural.¡± Fu Yn nodded, she had no hesitation around Chen Cang, after all, these things had been done by him, what¡¯s there to be embarrassed about? Chen Cang turned on his ¡®beauty eye¡¯, and after inspecting, he found that many areas still had some imperfections, but that was due to limited experience. In the future, he would strive to change and perfect them as he worked. After the inspection. Chen Cang said, ¡°By the way, Miss Fu, it¡¯s like this, today a few women are quite interested in having the surgery, but they think it¡¯s quite expensive, so they would like to understand more about it, would it be convenient for you¡­?¡± As soon as Fu Yn heard this, she started tough: ¡°I¡¯m willing, willing. How could I not take such a good opportunity to show off? When?¡± This left Chen Cang dumbfounded. He had thought it would be quite troublesome, but it turned out to be so smooth. Seeing Chen Cang¡¯s surprise, Fu Yn said, ¡°Dr. Chen, you¡¯ve helped me so much, this is nothing. Besides, we are all women, what¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a look. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t been to a public bathhouse; at our dance practice ce, it¡¯s all public bathhouses, I¡¯m used to it.¡± Chen Cang smiled and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. Fu Yufang stood by, already green with envy, but she had to work recently and simply had no time, the earliest she could do it would be during the National Day holiday. Thinking of this, she urged Chen Cang to make sure he kept his schedule free during National Day to carry out the surgery! Around ten in the morning, three women arrived. ¡­ ¡­ At eleven o¡¯clock in the morning, Chen Cang was surprised to receive a call from Qin Xiang. ¡°Director Qin, how can I help you?¡± Qin Xiang hesitated before speaking, ¡°Chen, do you have time?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yes, I have time right now. Director Qin, please tell me what¡¯s the matter.¡±
    Qin Xiang finally said, ¡°Chen, let me tell you something. Our dermatology department recently took in a patient with facial burns. We¡¯re preparing for a skin p transnt, and I¡¯d like to ask for your help toe up with a design.¡± ¡°Actually¡­ the patient is a young girl, just 18 years old, quite a nice girl, sigh. What I want to tell you is that her family is in poor condition. Her father barely managed to scrape together a few tens of thousands of yuan for the surgery, and it might not even be enough. I was the one who treated her burns initially.¡± At this point, Qin Xiang felt a little embarrassed. After all, he could make less money to treat someone, but he felt awkward asking someone else to treat a patient for free. So, when he spoke, he inevitably felt a bit embarrassed.
    ¡°Chen, let¡¯s put it this way, the family is out of money. I know your design fees are quite high and the surgery costs a lot more, but¡­ the family really doesn¡¯t have that much money. The girl is quite pitiful, and I¡¯m hoping you¡¯ll do me a favor, and help out, what do you say?¡± ¡°Of course, if you need my help in the future, just ask!¡± Qin Xiang hurried through his speech, worried that speaking slowly would make him feel more embarrassed. After blurting it out, he waited anxiously for Chen Cang¡¯s response. Honestly, the only person Qin Xiang could think of to ask was Chen Cang, though Chen¡¯s fees were truly not low. The mere stitching for Zheng Guotan¡¯s girlfriend was tens of thousands, not to mention the design fee at Zhixin stic Surgery Hospitalter, which was said to be as high as a hundred thousand, and that¡¯s without talking about the surgery fee.N?v(el)B\\jnn Recently, he heard Yang Tao say that Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital had introduced a million-yuan stic surgery designer. Without a second thought, Qin Xiang was sure it was Chen Cang, since he had been in Anyang City for so many years and was well aware of the depths of this city¡¯s waters. Anyang City is just so big, with the same peopleing and going. Thinking of Chen Cang¡¯s current worth, Qin Xiang felt somewhat embarrassed about asking him to design for free. Chen Cang was taken aback when he heard this. Ding! Mission triggered: Rescue a self-conscious soul, help Dou Xin step out of the shadow of life. Note: Fire destroyed this originally happy family, and it shattered a young girl¡¯s sunny heart, subjecting her to gloom. Please assist Qin Xiang and help the girl with the facial skin p transnt and cosmetic surgery. Uponpleting the task, you will receive: 1. Advanced skin graft surgery; 2. +20 favorability with Qin Xiang; 3. +50 favorability with Dou Xin. Seeing Chen Cang silent, Qin Xiang thought that Chen was unwilling to agree and couldn¡¯t help but let out a sigh of disappointment. ¡°This, Chen, if it¡¯s inconvenient for you, never mind. It¡¯s all right!¡±
    Chen Cang was stunned because he was reading the mission introduction. After seeing it, he epted the mission without a second thought! Hearing Qin Xiang¡¯s words, Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Director Qin, no, no, you¡¯ve misunderstood. Why would I refuse? Just tell me when, and I¡¯ll be right over. What do you think?¡± Qin Xiang was startled and suddenly dumbfounded, hurriedly saying, ¡°Chen, let me be straight with you. The patient¡¯s family is in a really tough spot financially, the situation is difficult, and they¡¯ve borrowed money. They just want to help the girl ovee her shadows as soon as possible. What I mean is¡­ you might not get a single cent for the surgery, at most you¡¯ll join me for a meal in the operating room.¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Director Qin, are you joking with me? Am I, Chen Cang, someone who does everything for money? If that were the case, why on earth would I continue working in the emergency department at the Second Provincial Hospital? I am first and foremost a doctor, and only then a cosmetic surgeon.¡± His forthright words stirred some excitement in Qin Xiang, who couldn¡¯t help but admire Chen: ¡°Great, great! Well then, Chen, if you¡¯re avable now, juste on over.¡± Actually, even if Chen Cang had refused, Qin Xiang wasn¡¯t going to make a fuss. There¡¯s a saying: Don¡¯t encourage generosity in those who do not know hardship. Don¡¯t encourage goodness in those unaware of others¡¯ suffering. The story of the highly-educated Miss who instructs the prostitute to be virtuous in ¡°The King of Comedy¡± is always ying out around us. Everyone has their life, their choices. Having reached Qin Xiang¡¯s age and seen all manner of human life in the hospital, he had a deep understanding of the human heart. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t stand on a moral high ground to preach to others. ps: There will be three more chapters tonight, and another update at noon tomorrow. Don¡¯t forget to subscribe!
    Chapter 239: 240: The Scarred Leader Monster (Extra for Hall Master Wo JÇ” Gè Lì Zi) Chapter 239: Chapter 240: The Scarred Leader Monster (Extra for Hall Master Wo J¨³ G¨¨ L¨¬ Zi) Three women emerged from Fu Yn¡¯s hospital room, faces flushed with excitement and agitation. Clearly, they were moved! They originally came just to apany one of them to inquire about the market, but after seeing the price tag of a million, they all grew curious¡ªwhat could a million make you look like?N?v(el)B\\jnn And at this moment, after seeing the before-and-after photos of Fu Yn, they were utterly dumbstruck! The transformation was simply too vast, too beautiful! The difference in her figure from before was enormous! Of course, Fu Yn herself had an excellent foundation, having been a dancer and routinely exercising. After Long Bear¡¯s surgery, it was like gilding the lily. Um¡­ buyer¡¯s show versus seller¡¯s show! But undeniable was the fact that Fu Yn¡¯s change had indeed brightened everyone¡¯s eyes, almost as if giving hope to the crowd. The chatter of the five women in the sickroom was bursting with excitement.
    Moreover, when the three of them learned that Fu Yufang had also had some minor work done on her face, they were even more bbergasted. Women can easily be friends, sometimes all it takes is amonnguage regarding a cosmetic product. Thus, Fu Yufang simply took out her phone to show everyone the before-and-after photos of her minor procedures, which immediately made the others¡¯ hearts pound! Must get it done! They must! All three of them already spent a not insignificant sum on maintenance every year, and now that such an opportunity, a chance to be more beautiful, was before them, no one wanted to miss out. And upon hearing that Chen Cang was especially busy, the three grew even more anxious internally. They worried they might miss the chance if Chen Cang left and no longer had time, potentially rendering all their excitement for naught! A wasted thrill! With this thought in mind, the three quicklymunicated with Chen Cang, arranged the timing, temporarily processed a transfer to this hospital, prepared the necessary work, and intended to undergo surgery the following week. ¡­ ¡­ This was Chen Cang¡¯s first visit to the dermatology department of Dongda First Hospital. The hospital¡¯s skin surgery ward and the stic surgery hospital were worlds apart, the environment here was a lot less refined than in the stic surgery hospital, but it felt more like a real hospital to Chen Cang. Nearing noon on Saturday, the ward was still bustling with activity, with everyone rushing about, and the nurse station¡¯s call bell ringing from time to time. Chen Cang¡¯s arrival did not cause the slightest ripple in this busy department, and as he turned around, he immediately saw Qin Xiang hurrying his way. Qin Xiang had been waiting rather anxiously, pacing back and forth by the elevator doors. Upon seeing Chen Cang, his heart leaped with joy, and he hurried over, ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯ve arrived! Thank you for your hard work!¡± To be honest, Qin Xiang was truly moved inside and extremely happy to see Chen Cang, ¡°Come on, follow me to see the patients.¡± Qin Xiang did not bother with small talk with Chen Cang; he had invited him to visit the patients, not to have tea. Together, they headed straight to bed 7-20. As soon as Chen Cang walked in, he saw a little girl lying on the bed nearest the door. From the side, she looked very pretty, with delicate features that appeared even more exquisite in the light and shadow streaming in through the window.
    But as the girl turned her head, a terrifying scar from a burn appeared before Chen Cang, which made him involuntarily swallow hard! The massive scar stretched from the right cheekbone down to the base of the neck, like a horrifying mask grotesquely ced upon such a delicate face. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but look up to meet the girl¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, the lively eyes lost all their luster. She quickly turned her head away, lowered it, and with a shake, her hair cascaded down, covering half of her face. She bowed her head in a way reminiscent of an ostrich, appearing to sink humbly into the dust. In that instant, Chen Cang felt as if his heart had been fiercely grasped, a tight clench, painfully so!
    Qin Xiang seemed to have already grown ustomed to such sights. He sighed, gave Chen Cang a nce, and walked inside. ¡°Xin Xin, where¡¯s your dad?¡± ¡°He¡¯s gone to buy food.¡± The girl¡¯s voice was very quiet, as if speaking loudly might startle herself. Qin Xiang nodded and said, ¡°Xin Xin, this is the doctor I invited to specially design a facial p transntation surgery for you. Sit tight, and let Dr. Chen take a good look, okay?¡± The girl hesitated for a long time before she finally let out a long sigh, lowered her head and tidied her hair, revealing her face. When she lifted her face, her eyes were tightly shut, and she said nothing; this set of movements was so fluid that it tugged at anyone¡¯s heartstrings to watch. Such a lovely young girl! Chen Cang, at this moment, took a close look. He had originally thought that the marks in her eyes were yellow, but to his surprise, they were red. [Scar Monster, lvl 50, Boss, scar tissue left after a burn, deeply entrenched and with a bizarre shape,rge in size.] Red represents disease, while yellow represents imperfection. Chen Cang touched the scar tissue with his hand, feeling the extent of the tissue damage after the burn. Chen Cang wasn¡¯t very knowledgeable about burn medicine, but he knew quite a lot about p transntation. The girl¡¯s skin was very fair, but for that very reason, any mismatch after p transntation would be even more noticeable. Chen Cang kept observing, trying to find a more suitable p transntation method so as to fit the p to the face as well as possible without causing too much pigment contrast. For suchrge-area p transntations, they¡¯remonly used on limbs. Facial p transntation is quite challenging: first, it¡¯s very difficult, and second, the survival rate isn¡¯t high.
    After seeing too many p transntations, where the skin on the face turned dark and bruised, it actually looked even more horrifying! Therefore, before undertaking p transntation, it¡¯s imperative to ensure that the area to be repaired is severely damaged, with poor cirction and significant exposure of crucial nerves, blood vessels, and tendons, which cannot be directly covered by surrounding skin. This is a major undertaking! Due to the excessively wide scars on the right cheek, it was impossible to undertake a p transntation! Chen Cang realized that this kind of design waspletely different from aesthetic design! If it was a matter of aesthetics, it would merely be a matter of carving and trimming. But the design at hand required a lot of work! First and foremost was the choice of the p. Next was the design of the p. Then, after designing the p, one needs to consider how to stretch and suture it so as to achieve a good visual effect after recovery. What is p transntation? Essentially, it¡¯s moving flesh from another part of your body to the area in question. It might seem simple, but there are many factors to consider.
    First of all, the transnted flesh needs good cirction, enabling your skin to stay alive and thrive, rather than just a dead patch. Of course, to call a p simply a piece of flesh is a bit crude. More specifically, a p is a piece of skin with its attached subcutaneous fat tissue that has its own blood supply. During the formation and transfer of the p, part of it must remain connected to the body (the donor site) through a section known as the pedicle to maintain blood supply. The rest is detached from the body, both on the surface and in depth, and transferred to another wound. Then it¡¯s stitched up, supplying the previously missing facial area with skin. This is an advanced surgical technique! It is also a continuous focus of effort in the fields of dermatology and stic surgery. Chapter 240: 241: Remote Consultation (Added for 4500 monthly tickets) Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Remote Consultation (Added for 4500 monthly tickets) This design is no simple task! Chen Cang suddenly realized that skin p transntation 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 waspletely 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 ps, 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 ck 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 p is this? An O-Z p? No, that¡¯s not right! It seemed to have some shadows of an A-T p, but the A-T p, due to its versatile transformations, is more suitable for repairs in the never-ending hairline, nasal r groove, and lip groove. However, this A-T p, because of the three intersection points, tends to leave a ¡°T¡± shaped scar, right? And this area doesn¡¯t require an A-T p. But this was too far from the traditional skin p transnt, wasn¡¯t it? Qin Xiang had never seen such a skin p transnt 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 ps? 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 ps¡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 cirction of the face. A simplerge-area skin p transnt, 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?¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 p transntation 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 exmations 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 p transntation. With their coborative 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 p transntation, medicine was all aboutmunication and exchange. With this coboration, 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 n. 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 servingdy¡¯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. Therge screen was ced 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 andrge 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: 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 p transntation, 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 p transntation. The irregr scarring involved a substantial area, making effective skin p transntation particrly 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 rted fields within the hospital and still could not make up his mind, selecting a few distinctive treatment methods. Wang Yushan brought out the first n and slowly said, ¡°Director Qin, the first n is the axial p, proceeding ording to the ind p 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 p definitely involves the selection of a free p with vascr pedicle from the body forposite tissue transntation. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s about finding a p on the body that can satisfy the needs of facial transntation. Our options include the pectoral arm and scapr ps, but then the problem we consider is the mismatch with the facial region, though the scapr 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. Rtively speaking, the operation was simpler, but the downsides were more apparent. For a transnted p to survive, it must have sufficient blood supply. The facial vessels are abundant but they are notrge vessels, and theirpatibility with the scapr 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 n for facial skin p transntation is still to preserve the pedicle, which keeps the skin p 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 ns 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 waspletely 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 ps for Dou Xin, which was tantamount to a coboration 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 p transntation technologygged behind! So, who wouldn¡¯t cherish such an opportunity. Following the unveiling of the four skin p transntation 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 ns do you find most suitable?¡±
    Qin Xiang, to be honest, found each n to have its unique features but he was notpletely 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 n has the highest feasibility, but its disadvantages are also very obvious, such as potential issues with post-transnt recovery and the survival rate of the p. The second n mainly uses arge amount of A-T transntation, which results in more noticeable scarring, and the third n¡­¡± 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 incisivements, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses.
    After Qin Xiang finishedmenting, 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 sh of insight! Right! That¡¯s a great idea! Multiple donor sites can fullypensate for the original shorings and expand on the advantages! Wang Yushan was also filled with curiosity and quickly said, ¡°Director Qin, please borate.¡± Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°First of all, the patient Dou Xin is still young, only 18 years old, so his sticity and growth are still very good. Therefore, given this, can we use a variety of skin p transnt surgeries at the same time?¡± ¡°In the cheek area, in this section, we canpletely use a V-Y advancement p surgery, and in the area below, we use a rectangr advancement p surgery¡­ Finally, in the region from the jaw to the neck, because the area is too long, we create amensurate skin p from the thoraco-brachial to scapr area, then preserve the vascr pedicle in the neck to perform a rotational skin p transnt!¡± ¡°By doing so, we can take advantage of multiple free skin ps, giving the face wound more donor site options!¡±
    ¡°In this case, in theter 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, apuse broke out! In both offices, everyone started pping for Qin Xiang! It truly was a brilliant idea, a genius design, a miraculous choice of ps! 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. Toe up with such a splendid skin p design n is beyond most people¡¯s reach!¡± Wang Yushan said sincerely! The Director in charge of skin p transnts 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 strengthenmunication and cooperation between our two hospitals in the future!¡± Listening to the sessive praises from the directors of Sixth Municipal Hospital, Qin Xiang truly felt very rxed and extremelyfortable! With a sigh, Wang Yushan then said with a smile, ¡°I wonder how Director Qin thought up such a skin p transnt scheme? I must learn a thing or two from you!¡± Qin Xiang was stunned. Right¡­ How could hee up with such a brilliant design n?
    At that thought, Qin Xiang found it iprehensible¡­ He felt as if he¡¯d had a sh of inspiration, as if everything had fallen into ce, as though he¡¯d been granted this n 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 disy their inner thoughts asments, 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 aplex design n, if it weren¡¯t for Director Qin¡¯s detailed exnation, she might not even understand it, right?! Let alone not understanding it, she might even have mistaken it for a messy doodle, since it seemedpletely 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 contemting this, she suddenly saw Chen Cang sitting opposite her, writing and drawing on paper! She finally understood where she had seen that design n before! ¡­ Chapter 242: 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 p transntation n 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 aplete set of design ns 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 exnation, he had been the first to lead the apuse. 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 inted with pride. Yes, he felt that being able to design such a n meant he had been umting knowledge and experience until his inspiration burst forth like a bubbling spring¡ªeverything just fell into ce! With this in mind, Qin Xiang nodded in satisfaction. Hmm, could this be what they call ate 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 sessful, and very thoughtful ingenious n. 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 n 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 n is indeed good! Without a doubt, it¡¯s a remarkable n, 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 p to ensure a good fit after transntation; next, vascr 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 ps.¡± 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 ps together and regr 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 performedter, 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 sessfully. 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 p transntation. Share your thoughts during the handover meeting on Monday.¡±
    ¡°Also, everyone is toe 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, strengthmands 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¡¯lle over early.¡± Qin Xiang nodded, ¡°Good! Tomorrow, let¡¯s make a stand in front of the people of Modu! What an exhrating 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 p transntation 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 sessful subordinate, shouldn¡¯t shepliment 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 p transntation n coulde from you. To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard it, it¡¯s simply astonishing!¡± ¡°The Director really is umting knowledge and expertise and growing stronger with age!¡± After speaking, Xu Kailin gave Qin Xiang a thumbs-up! She not only ttered 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 Xiangforted them, ¡°Xin Xin¡¯s surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow. We¡¯ve designed a very good n 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 nkly, ¡°What lines?¡± At that moment, Xin Xin turned her head toward them. Qin Xiang suddenly fell silent¡­ Chapter 243 - 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 n 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 simr to his own¡­ too¡­ too¡­ Qin Xiang was dumbfounded! What the hell¡­ No wonder he had felt that a stroke of genius had shed 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 extremelyplicated at this very moment, his face flushing red and then turning pale, his anxiety palpable! Was this considered giarism? It couldn¡¯t be, right, how could the affairs of a learned man be called giarism? 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¡­ howe he¡¯s so outstanding? At this thought, Qin Xiang was slightly startled and suddenly remembered another matter. If Chen Cang coulde up with such a design, that meant he must be very knowledgeable about skin p transnts, perhaps even more so than himself! That realization shocked Qin Xiang. How old was he? n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 sessfully 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 p transntation? Moreover, he could design something so exquisite and breathtaking. Qin Xiang thought hard and suddenly had an epiphany, right! Such aplex 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 n, 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 n; 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 nced 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 simr 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 nned 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 p transnt are very clear!¡± Qin Xiang was stunned! This¡­ seemed¡­ to actually make sense. So this isn¡¯t called giarism, it¡¯s called innovation?! Xu Kailin, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded. Invisible ttery, most lethal! Seeing Qin Xiang¡¯s happy face, she noted how delighted he was¡­ Xu Kailin suddenly realized how difficult the workce could be. ¡­ ¡­ Inside the operating room, everything was ready to go. All avable 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 p transnt 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 stic 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 nce 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 ttery. 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¡­ tter the wrong person again? Sigh¡­ Xu Kailin couldn¡¯t help but heave a sigh. The workce is so tough! Little did she know that ever since Qin Xiang acted as Chen Cang¡¯s assistant at Zheng Guotan¡¯s ce, he seemed to have developed an addiction to being Chen Cang¡¯s assistant! emmmm¡­ ps: Three updates for tonight, more tomorrow. Chapter 244 - 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 ce, 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 quiteplex because it involved arge number of skin ps, and how to skillfully design them became the most critical issue. Skin is divided into the epidermis and dermis, while the skin p also requires subcutaneous tissue. Everyone knows the epidermis. And the dermis can be said to be the core area of the skin, where a thinyer contains microvessels, muscles, sebaceous nds, nerve endings, sweat nds, and so on, constituting the functional areas of the skin. Subcutaneous tissue mainlyprises subcutaneous fat, connective tissue, andrge blood vessels. The surgery required separating the skin p and then using various ingenious methods to transnt it to another ce. This is what is known as skin p transntation surgery! Chen Cang started ording 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 p transntation design n proposed by Qin Xiang was not merely a n 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 ack of respect?¡± Mentoring neers 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 p 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 capirywork. 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 p transntation and stic 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¡¯spletely possible to omit some skin ps, why does he extend it so much? Ah¡­¡± one doctor couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°And there, the state of the rxed 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 p transntation.¡± ¡°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 rxed 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 be emotional! This young man, leaving everything else aside, the way he grasps every single detail of the facial skin can be said to be ssic!¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 somepletely 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 p transntation 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 bes exceedingly difficult! ¡°Hold the p 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 p transntation, 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 p transntation, 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 245: 246: A Single "Holy Crap" Takes on the World! (Added for 5500 monthly tickets.) Chapter 245: Chapter 246: A Single ¡°Holy Crap¡± Takes on the World! (Added for 5500 monthly tickets.) It wasn¡¯t that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t suturing, but because it simply wasn¡¯t time yet! This skin p transnt surgery had already involved the simultaneous transfer of three different ps, and skin suturing was in fact the most core operation of the procedure. How could one sessfully suture multiple selected ps together seamlessly like a single t panel, so that after the healing period, it wouldn¡¯t affect the visual aesthetic effect and the structural effect of the face? This was particrly important! But, if the three ps were sutured separately, this simply couldn¡¯t be achieved. Because the transnted ps were free ps, they were not naturally supposed to be there; if sutured prematurely, manyplications could arise. Therefore, what Chen Cang needed to do was an overall suture. Qin Xiang nced at Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Little Chen¡­ why aren¡¯t you suturing?¡± Chen Cang simply said, ¡°Suturing them as one, yields a better result.¡± Those eight simple words, yet to Qin Xiang they were like a bolt of thunder.
    What kind of confidence and skill was required to say such a thing with such nonchnce? Suturing them as one had only two oues, one was better! The other was worse! And Chen Cang daring to do this, Qin Xiang had no doubts, it was certainly the former. Thinking this, Qin Xiang couldn¡¯t help but observe intently. Chen Cang turned around, and Xu Kailin had already passed over the needle and thread. Qin Xiang was taken aback, and nodded in approval, his gaze at Xu Kailin softened slightly. Xu Kailin¡¯s face flushed red, she finally seeded for once! It seemed, Dr. Chen was Director Qin¡¯s favorite, as long as you pleased Dr. Chen, Director Qin would be happy, emmm¡­ There were indeed tricks to the workce. The suturing began! Taking the needle holder in hand, Chen Cang did not start suturing, but passed the needle holder to Qin Xiang and started to manipte the ps with both hands. This process took several minutes¡­ During these minutes, Chen Cang¡¯s eyes had simted the procedure hundreds, if not thousands of times. Finally, Chen Cang reached out his hand, and Qin Xiang hastily passed the needle holder back to Chen Cang. The suturing began! Chen Cang¡¯s skin suturing was his talent and advantage, with the support of the ¡°Beautiful Eyes,¡± everything was so traceable. He started suturing from the neck, each stitch and thread incredibly skillful, even disying a kind of beauty! This made Qin Xiang, every time he watched from the side, couldn¡¯t help but marvel. It was talent indeed¡­
    Something ordinary people simply couldn¡¯t envy. Wang Yushan stood there at the time, arms crossed, his gaze intense as he watched Chen Cang¡¯s skin suturing without ever looking away, meticulous to the extreme! Without a word from others, he already understood what Chen Cang was about to do! An overall p suture.
    This kid¡­ truly had guts. However, recalling his actions from the beginning of the surgery, Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t help but let go of his concerns, this was a young man in pursuit of perfection, each step of the procedure astonishing. But these were just appetizers! The real climax was happening at this very moment. It was the final suturing of the skin p! At that thought, Wang Yushan couldn¡¯t help but feel a little excited, and somewhat expectant too!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Perhaps¡­ a miracle might truly unfold! This surgery was indeed a magnificent piece of art, endlessly fascinating! Inside the office of the Municipal Sixth Hospital, everyone had also picked up on the clue and, thinking about what Chen Cang was about to do, they held their breath and watched as if they themselves were performing the surgery! After all, the precision required for the suture was too great, they were afraid that even a heavy breath might blow it off course¡­ Each one of them watched with utter seriousness. Qin Xiang wished he could ster his lungs with cement right then, if only not breathing would keep him alive. Watching Chen Cang¡¯s suturing hands, they were truly steady, and remarkably deft.
    This made Qin Xiang suddenly think of a certain needlework expert from a Jin Yong novel! And Xu Kailin watched Chen Cang¡¯s expression and hands even more cautiously, hmm, also his hands, ready to respond immediately should he require anything. As for learning from the surgery¡­ Xu Kailin had given up¡­ This kind of high difficulty, high precision, high standard surgery. Can I even learn this surgery? It¡¯s obviously beyond the scope. Not to mention my own memory stick can¡¯t handle it, even if the software could be installed, the hardware wouldn¡¯t keep up! Thinking this, Xu Kailin decided it was better to just do her own work well. Watching Chen Cang¡¯s shy operations, Xu Kailin only wanted to say one thing, it¡¯s so beautiful. Learn? I can¡¯t learn it¡­ Time ticked away.
    Qin Xiang felt a bit short of oxygen. Finally¡­ He didn¡¯t know how long it had been, but¡­ Qin Xiang felt he had saved quite a bit of fresh air for the country today. When Chen Cang tied thest surgical knot. Qin Xiang finally took a deep breath, but when he looked down at the results, he suddenly gasped in shock! Holy crap! Awesome! Chen Cang nced at Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang marveled, ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Chen Cang was taken aback: Is that what I wanted to say? Luckily, Xu Kailin was well-versed in workce savvy and hurriedly readied the skin rinse, saying, ¡°Doctor Chen, you¡¯ve worked hard, take a break, I¡¯ll do the rinse.¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Moving aside, he couldn¡¯t help but stretch and loosen his neck, such a tense operation really was exhausting.
    Chen Cang suddenly felt that in the future the hospital should provide doctors with an additional benefit: a massage subsidy. After all, with surgeries like this every day, one day I¡¯ll inevitably end up on the operating table! What¡¯s the saying again? He who operates on others, will eventually be operated on! Right now, in the office of the Sixth Hospital of Magic City, everyone was nervously standing up. They all craned their necks, waiting for the moment the rinse was finished. Nervous! Anxiety! Anticipation! That was everyone¡¯s mood right now. As Xu Kailin finished the rinse, suddenly, a face came into everyone¡¯s sight! ¡°Holy crap!¡± ¡°Damn!¡± ¡°OMG!¡± As an echoed ¡°Holy crap¡± rang out, the little nurse outside who was pushing the cart to change dressings shuddered, even the cart seemed unsteady, and the cleaningdy behind her dropped her mop in shock, standing there dumbfounded. The patients outside who were about to enter the ward to find the doctor were so scared they turned tail and ran. A few patients in the wards about to take their medicine suddenly forgot what medicine they were holding and whose it was! The next day, rumors flew around the Sixth Hospital of Magic City: ¡°Who was behind the collective screams in the Orthopaedic Surgery office? What hidden story lies behind the cleaningdy¡¯s wide-eyed shock? Where was the nurse trying to run with her cart? Whose medicine was actually in the patients¡¯ hands¡­ Stay tuned for the Sixth Hospital Daily!¡± At that moment, Wang Yushan pped the table and eximed, ¡°Good!¡± It was breathtaking! Truly remarkable! The skin suturing at this time honestly exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. Who could have thought that a skin p transnt could be so sessful! And the skin after suturing¡­ had such an extraordinary effect! Looking at this young doctor! Wang Yushan fell silent! If Qian Liang were here, he would have noticed the longing in his eyes, harboring ulterior motives! You must protect Chen Cang well and not let anyone discover him! ps: For today, just five updates, writing books isn¡¯t easy, I hope friends who can will support the original version on Qidian, thank you. Chapter 246: 247: Actually, I plagiarized the design proposal Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Actually, I giarized 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 n 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 sessful case in the field of p transntation but also a ssic operation in the discipline of skin stic 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 gappared 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 waspleted. When she saw the earnestly sutured stitches, the faint traces, and the barely visible scars, she couldn¡¯t help but exim! 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 aplex 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 nned 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 sessful 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 bestnguage! [Ding! Missionpleted, ¡°Saving a Self-conscious Soul¡± aplished, sessfulpletion of p transntation + facial stic surgery, rewards: 1. Advanced Skin Graft Technique; 2. Qin Xiang¡¯s favorability +20. 3. Dou Xin¡¯s favorability +50.] Skin grafting and p transntation 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 p transntation that still carries a pedicle, and then transnts it to another area with skin defects. In skin grafting, the blood cirction of the graft automatically stops after being cut, and the survival post-transnt depends entirely on re-establishing blood cirction between the recipient site base and the transnted skin, so this technique is also called free skin grafting in clinical practice. This involves an additional serum absorption period and vascr 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! Sessfully defeated a level 51 scar boss monster, gaining +1 level, p transntation 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 helpughing. 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 sessfully, 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¡¯te 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,pared 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 exin them. Now it was great, the Sixth Hospital of Modu hade in person to exin. Such an opportunity was rare indeed!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 n perfectly realized. It truly is a fortunate asion!¡± ¡°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 p transntation, 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 toplete, 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: 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 p 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 stic and Reconstructive Surgery, was beyond caring for such trifles. He had enough des! Besides, when the time trulyes for you to deliver, and you can¡¯te up with a good n, wouldn¡¯t that be like pping 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 n. 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 stic 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 ording to the principles of facial stic surgery¡­¡± Qin Xiang shared everything exactly as it happened, without exaggeration or embellishment, simply narrating the events. ¡°So, the fact that I coulde up with such a n 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 nned, designed, operated, and sutured all by Doctor Chen. It was systematic and wless!¡± ¡°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 ying 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 barelymunicated, 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 p transntation had reached a certain level. Qin Xiang smiled faintly and took the initiative to start apuding. ¡°Come, let¡¯s give a round of apuse 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Confidently standing up, Chen Cang introduced himself and went straight to the point, beginning his exnation of today¡¯s surgery. From the selection of the skin p to its design, Chen Cang exined everything clearly and thoroughly. He addressed every small detail, from human anatomy to facial stic surgery, from skin p transntation to wound healing. Just the design alone took Chen Cang half an hour to exin, 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 exin. Especially Wang Yushan, whether out of caution or for some other reason, asked many questions unrted 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 exined, the audience erupted into warm apuse once again. Because many doubts were cleared up through Chen Cang¡¯s exnations, and he didn¡¯t hold back. Instead, he openly gave everyone many suggestions and ideas, even broadening the prospects for skin p transntation in the future. Chen Cang¡¯s p transntation 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 ept 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 gship among Dongyang Province¡¯s medical colleges, with arge number of graduates each year. Simr 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 pharmaceuticalpaniese 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, bing 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 popr in counties. But if you wanted to skip a few levels, that might require more effort. Chapter 248: 249: Job Fair 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 aplished 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 be 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 rtionship 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. ttering 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 ces 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 intoughter and handed over the brochure for Provincial Hospital No. 2: ¡°I¡¯m here for the job recruitment. Take a seat, ssmate, 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 sideughed, ¡°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 Zhaoughed, ¡°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 exin, and for the HR department tomunicate externally; otherwise, it would be more troublesome. ¡°Tenure?¡± Luo Zhou and Dong Jia exchanged nces, 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 regr employees there! But in the spirit of encouraging a ssmate, Chen Cang still advised, ¡°Luo Zhou, the emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2 is continuously developing and ces 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 ie 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 be 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 dy 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: 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 isted 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 particrly 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 ims 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 ss 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 justughed it off indifferently; there was no need to exin to those who didn¡¯t understand. After all, how could you exin it to such people? What good would exnations 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 ssmates, 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, butter, he simply couldn¡¯t be bothered and left the group. After all, it¡¯s fine to maintain good rtions 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 imbnced 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; nothinges without hard work. Whose sess 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 butment, ¡°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 ssmate, 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 justughed 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 ss 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 oue 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 ssmate 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 justcked 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.¡± Everyoneughed 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 ss 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chen Cang was also happy; he wasn¡¯t the same as before. With a fortune of a million, Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital had settled all his payments by September first. Conservatively estimating, Chen Cang¡¯s ount 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 yfully 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 richdy, 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: 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 amonly 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 coulde 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,pleting 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 toe. With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help butugh. During the morning handover, Li Baoshan emphasized, ¡°Our emergency department will probably be busier and more tiring in theing 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, Imunicated 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, prating 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 forthmunicating 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 marketce or supermarket where you can freely advertise. And the best form of hospital advertisement is word-of-mouth! Only through the rmendation of one patient to another can we truly improve treatment effectiveness. Hand surgery and orthopedics are simr 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 avable. If you upy one, how can others operate? in and simple, minor surgeries like Tendon Suture Surgery earn their keep through manualbor, 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 wees 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 misceneous costs add up to 3,000. However, what the hospital can take includes a portion of the surgery fees, amission on medication, and a mark-up on equipment. Simrly 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? Thates merely from a portion of the surgery fees distributed asbor ie. 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, favoringrge orthopedic surgeries such as finger amputation suture surgery, finger rentation, 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 thates in. If you ept it, it¡¯s hard to arrange for the operating room, with high risks, low earnings, and doctors not particrly 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 havee.¡± 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! Aftering 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 hadpleted the necessary procedures. After An Yanjun arranged for the rted tests and examinations, he nced 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.¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn 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, whypare with them? Thinking of this, An Yanjun also consoled himself, whypare 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 thest 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: 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 ce, 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 rtivelygging. 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 ustomed 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 firstdy, 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 suddenlyughed, ¡°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 Yunxiaughed again, nced 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 nies. That¡¯s when the factory still used old machinery, and it wasmon to hear about people getting injured every other day, with lost fingers being a regr urrence. 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 seque after it heals.¡± ¡°My left hand alreadycks 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 heavybor. 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 timees to look after my grandchildren, I won¡¯t have any strength in my hands. Just thinking about it worries me¡­¡± Nerve and tendon repairs oftene with sequ, with many people experiencing numbness frequently after nerve damage, as recovery doesn¡¯t go so well. Tendon repairs are simr. If adhesions ur during the recovery period after a tendon repair, the difort can be worse than tendinitis, with reduced flexibility, limited movement, and even the sensation of weakness¡ªall toomon. 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, theye 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 nies, 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 aremon 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 inte 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 butugh. This big sister was truly optimistic. With such a deep wound on her hand, she could still manage tough. 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 exined, ¡°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 be, the stronger the clothes are. Tendon suturing is simr. In the past, people used to do two-strand sutures, with ssic 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 shorings 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 exnation, Fan Yunxia finally understood!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 rtionship between doctors and patients is improved throughmunication with each other. Chapter 252: 253: Special Training on Bunnell Suture Technique Chapter 252: Chapter 253: Special Training on Bunnell Suture Technique In fact, Chen Cang was exining to Fan Yunxia, but he was also exining to himself! What does that mean? Everyone has had the experience of exining something to someone else, and during the process, there¡¯s a feeling that as you¡¯re exining, you¡¯re also improving yourself. You might discover your own shorings 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¡¯tg 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 ho¡¯s nest. Far fromining, Chen Cang was actually grateful that this could potentially shorten the time needed toplete 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. Aftering out of the treatment room, it was almost 2 p.m. Chen Cang stretched outzily, 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 w in the Bunnell suture method. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help eximing, ¡°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 ie. 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 bup-sack-like garments that obscure everything underneath. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°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 formfort foods were satisfying. They both feltfortably full and content. Only if they could take a nap right now, it would be perfect. However, because they got off workte 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 theint 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 taskpleted, 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 healingter on and also doesn¡¯t cause adhesions that could be triggered by foreign material or suture ends.¡± ¡°However, its operation is quiteplicated. 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 unounted for, and after countless surgeries, Chen Cang¡¯s understanding of the Bunnell Suture had deepened, and his sess 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 evenbine 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 tutge.
    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 sess of the Bunnell Suture Method had advanced Chen Cang¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery a significant step closer to perfection on that road! ¡­ Chapter 253: 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:plete 10 Tendon Suture Surgeries, Task Reward: Training in Kessler¡¯s Suturing Technique.] Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! He felt his breathing be somewhatbored; 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 urately? 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 thest 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 nies, and so on, concepts kept changing until today, when anti-adhesion has be 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 surgerymunity. 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 someoneing in and saw Chen Cang; her face brightened, and she quickly got up and scurried over. ¡°Chen Cang,e 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 surveince 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,paring 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 wellst 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 youe so early?¡± Qin Yue chuckled without answering. If she hadete, 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 tote 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 ordance 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 particr 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?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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,pared 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 aplex Tendon Suture Surgery (Tendon monster level greater than 40). Reward for taskpletion: 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 toe out? Also, this time the specialized training isbeled as in-depth. Could there be a difference? However,pleting 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 hadpleted 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-ss 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: 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 za 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 ident 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 youe 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 nced 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 waspletely 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 peoplee 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 bepleted 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 toe. After all, countless people were watching over Xing Yu, and if the surgery were unsessful, 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 oue. 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 orck of capacity to correctly assess the circumstances, which is why such incidents are not umon.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 sess 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 rted 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 nce. Seeing that Chen Cang didn¡¯t understand, he came over, ring, and said, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Chen Cang shrugged helplessly, ¡°The dean dragged me over.¡± Tan Zhonglin understood; with the incident urring 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, nced 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 nces 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: 256: Simulated Stone? (Extra for 7500 monthly passes) Chapter 255: Chapter 256: Simted 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 thepany, and thepany was contacting the insurancepany. The person in charge of this performance¡¯s organizingmittee 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? s¡­ 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 oning. 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 ident. A light suddenly fell, I reacted quickly and wasn¡¯t hit, but I got a few cuts from the flying ss. 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 toote!¡± ¡°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 nced 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! ss shards had not beenpletely removed and were still embedded in the wound, with arge area of mangled flesh on the back of the hand. And most critically, ss was embedded on the radial side of the wrist and back of the hand, which was by no means a trivial spot!N?v(el)B\\jnn
    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 be major factors in exacerbating the patient¡¯s condition and could also hinder rehabilitation effortster 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 venousworks, superficial lymphatic vessels, and dorsal cutaneous nerves of the hand. The subspace under the tendon sheath oftenmunicates with the subcutaneous space on the back of the hand, allowing infections to spread to each other, which can easily lead toplications 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 ny 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 aremon, 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 topare to an ordinary person, let alone y the piano! One could say that if the surgery were not sessful, 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 ss 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 ny 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 ssified as Royal level; the standards were different! If it were just the wound of most people, this would at most be ssified as an elite monster, and might not even qualify as a boss, but this surgery was particrly 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 sess 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! [Simtion 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: 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 hadpleted 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¡¯spany personally came to the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital of Dongyang Province, apanied by the manager of the insurancepany. Xing Yu¡¯s hands were insured for tens of millions in value, and now that they were damaged like this, the insurancepany felt like crying! Therefore, the manager responsible for Xing Yu¡¯s case also followed. Should anything happen to Xing Yu¡¯s hands, the potentialpensation could be as high as hundreds of millions!
    This figure even started to make the insurancepany tremble! ¡­n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ 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 amodated 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¡¯spany 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 ce. 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 therge 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 n. Yet, no one spoke at the scene. The snuff bottle area was already a particrly 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 mightst 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 oftenmunicated 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 standingmittee 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 ount the inmmatory injuries brought by rehabilitation, as well as the patient¡¯s own tendinitis¡­¡± ¡°` Everyone nodded slightly. Every profession has its upational diseases!
    ying the piano might seem morous, but every pianist needs to regrly care for and maintain their hands. Yet, even so, tendon sheath inmmation is a topic that can¡¯t be avoided! Xing Yu had tendon sheath inmmation, and not just in one ce¡ªit often recurred. For hands that y the piano, tendon sheath inmmation can¡¯t be recklessly treated with steroid injections, and surgery is even more risky. Now, these would be factors that could affect the sess 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¡¯stest 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¡¯te 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. Thepany¡¯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 rtively prudent n, or tell us what the sess 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 n 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 nces, 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 oues, which are based onprehensive indicators for the convenience of future research. They are: cured, significant improvement, effective, and ineffective. ¡°Cured¡± refers toplete 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: 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 canplete a month ofprehensive rehabilitation at our hospital. In fact, the concept of cure is difficult to delineate urately because we can only judge based on the information we have and our experience. Although we only have a forty percent sess 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 be 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 simr patients he treated, the sess 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 sessful 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 ny-five percent, with a significant recovery upying 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, theplexity 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 ces like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have one thing inmon: they tend to specialize inmon diseases and may study a minor ailment to the extreme. Whereas in the rtively 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 arger 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 y 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 insurancepany, it seemed there weren¡¯t many options left. The best treatment now was Wang Yushan¡¯s treatment n! 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 ns. 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 Roomter.¡± 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 pped his hands with joy, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s why you looked familiar! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you on such an asion, 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 Yushanughed heartily, ¡°The operation you performed for usst 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 p transntation 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: 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, rtives, and thepany¡¯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 shiness 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 disying their brilliance!
    The trio¡¯s surgery provided a thrilling and exhrating 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,mentary, and so on¡­N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 bepletely 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-maniptions, and the various influencing factors, essentially considering every element that could affect adhesions! In this respect, Wang Yong and Director Chang had some simrities. 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 contemting 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 invasiveparoscopic 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 sessful.
    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, ny 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 rtively thick, and the choice of suture must take into ount 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 quiteplex, 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 andposed, 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 thunderp 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 urred. Another reason could be tendinitis. The tendon, after long-term excessive friction inside the tendon sheath, became swollen, causing chronic injurious inmmation of the tendon and tendon sheath. Wang Yushan spoke gravely, ¡°Xing Yu often ys 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 sess 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 259 - 260: Save the Scene? Save or Not! (Extra for 8000 monthly tickets) Chapter 259: Chapter 260: Save the Scene? Save or Not! (Extra for 8000 monthly tickets) The meeting room saw the surgery suddenly pause, and everyone was momentarily stunned! ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I have no idea!¡± ¡°Why did it stop?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but¡­ there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything abnormal on the screen?¡± ¡°What exactly is going on?¡± ¡°Something must have gone wrong¡­¡± ¡­ At this moment, inside the operating room, three individuals looked tense. Wang Yushan furrowed his brows, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s eyes were desperately searching for the site of the tear, and Chang Honglei¡¯s back was covered in cold sweat! Because the traction injury was caused by her! She was terrified! But now was not the time forints; the three of them needed to identify the problem and thene up with a solution. The three of them were not enough. Wang Yushan looked up, ¡°Chen Cang,e over and help.¡± The nurse hurried to help Chen Cang get dressed, and after Chen Cang arrived. After arriving, Chen Cang immediately saw a red [tendon] tear. Chen Cang was taken aback! A secondary injury? A surgical ident? Or¡­ But no matter what it was, the surgery was definitely in a very passive phase now. Fortunately, Wang Yushan was experienced and did not panic, trying hard to find a solution. Yet, after thinking for a long time, Wang Yushan could not guarantee the sess rate of the surgery anymore. Healing¡­ had be a luxury. At this thought, Wang Yushan turned to Xing Yu and told him the truth, ¡°Mr. Xing, I¡¯m very sorry to say this, but the damage to your tendon is severe, and I might have less than a ten percent chance of healing it. Of course, I can assure you that after healing, ny percent chance you won¡¯t have issues in your daily life, but it might affect your piano ying¡­¡± With those words, Xing Yu¡¯splexions turned ashen! What to do? What could be done? The surgery had reached the halfway point; there was nothing anyone could do. At this time, Chen Cang suddenly received a task notification. [Ding! Trigger a rescue mission: the surgery is in crisis. Please strive to turn things around. If youplete this surgery, you will receive: 1. Chang Honglei¡¯s gratitude package; 2. Xing Yu¡¯s gratitude package; 3. Wang Yushan¡¯s gratitude package.] Chen Cang was stunned for a moment. What the heck? What¡¯s with these gratitude packages? [Gratitude Package: Depending on how thankful the person is, you receive a random skill. The deeper the gratitude, the rarer the skill you obtain.] Chen Cang was dumbstruck¡­ Does this mean I could get three skills all at once? At this thought, Chen Cang hesitated; should he intervene? How sure was he now? At this point in the surgery, no one was one hundred percent certain. And without enough certainty, stepping in was truly a risk¡­ Chen Cang took a deep breath and chose to use the [Simtion Stone] inconspicuously. This was truly a no-loss situation! One Simtion Stone, in exchange for the gratitude of three people. If the surgery were sessful, it would definitely be a huge gain. With this in mind, Chen Cang activated the [Simtion Stone]. [Ding! Simtion Stone activated, beginning to simte the current surgical scene, loading¡­ 10%¡­ 30¡­ 100%, loadingplete. Would you like to start the simtion?] Chen Cang nodded and immediately chose to start the simtion! Instantly, his surroundings changed, and he found himself in the operating room, but the scene was exactly the same as outside. Chen Cang began to take over the surgery, and with the cooperation of three people, he initiated the tendon repair work. After the first surgery, the system prompt sounded off. [Healing speed: 80 points, Adhesion: 60 points; Tensile strength: 80 points¡­] Chen Cang shook his head and continued. After each surgery, there was a score! Chen Cang was not satisfied and persevered; his goal was to improve adhesion to 100 points, to strive for no adhesion¡ªthat was an effort aiming for continuous improvement. After ten times, twenty times, Chen Cang began to see scores of 100 points for adhesion, but only three times out of ten. After one hundred surgeries, Chen Cang had a score of 100 points for adhesion in 5 out of 10 cases. Chen Cang was still not satisfied! With such surgeries, he would either not get involved at all or ensure sess! n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Otherwise, Chen Cang was not willing to invite trouble for himself. But a sess rate of one hundred percent was not so simple to achieve! After the two hundredth attempt, the sess rate had increased to sixty percent. Three hundred times¡­ Four hundred times¡­ After five hundred attempts, the rate of improvement grew even slower. Chen Cang was stunned. Sometimes there was only a one percent, two percent improvement, and Chen Cang was perplexed. How long would it take? Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help feeling worried. In the simtion space, one could not feel the passage of time, nor fatigue; each surgery felt like it had just begun. Most importantly, even anxiety and restlessness could not be felt. It was a terrifying thing, as though caught in an infinite loop. Finally, Chen Cang did not know how many surgeries he had performed, but his sess rate finally reached one hundred percent! After trying countless methods, mixing various concepts, and experimenting with numerous operative techniques, he finally found a treatment n for Xing Yu. At that moment, Chen Cang finally exhale a sigh of relief, his eyes shining with confidence! After exiting the simtion space, less than a second had passed. Tan Zhonglin suddenly asked, ¡°Xiao Chen, do you have any good ideas?¡± Wang Yushan also looked at Chen Cang at that time, since this young man had already given him many shocks and was curiously watching Chen Cang. Chen Cang hesitated briefly and slowly said, ¡°I don¡¯t know about a good idea, but I do have a suggestion that all the teachers can consider.¡± At this time, Chang Honglei, to be honest, was feeling rather nervous. The biggest difference between men and women might not lie in everyday life, but in how they handle emergencies when facing special circumstances, that capacity to respond unflinchingly to crises. Of course, this is not to say that women are incapable, but ording torge-scale data, male doctors have a slightly greater ability in this regard than their female counterparts. Chen Cang said, ¡°This is what I was thinking, the extensor pollicis longus tendon is rather thick, and after a second-degree injury, both adhesions and tensile strength are affected. However, using traditional suturing methods is somewhat outdated; suturing the same tendon twice consecutively also isn¡¯t beneficial forter recovery. The suture has not been cut yet, so I think, we could still use the Bunnell suturing technique, extend with a steel wire, and incorporate a Kessler suture inside the tendon to form a special suturing. The Kessler is a two-strand suture with usually weak tensile strength, but in this case, its use, assisted by the benefits of the Bunnell technique, could ovee the issue of adhesion¡­¡± After Chen Cang listed a flurry of points, all three were stunned! Because this idea was highly creative,bining two different tendon suturing methods to suture a second-degree injured tendon, itpensated for the shorings of both while leveraging their merits¡ªthis¡­ was an idea! Wang Yushan had not expected this young man to surprise him yet again with something new! Just how brilliant was he? In the past, he had creatively investigated the concept ofbined p suturing, and now, faced with a situation where three department heads were at a loss, he had presented yet another ingenious idea! Chang Hongmei closed her eyes to think for a few seconds, a multitude of possibilities shing through her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Wang Yushan with excitement, ¡°Director Wang, it¡¯s feasible! I think it¡¯s feasible!¡± Tan Zhonglin also nodded slightly, ¡°I also think it¡¯s feasible!¡± Wang Yushan sighed, ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know the idea is good? But¡­ I have to be able to do it well!¡± Everyone knows that it¡¯s a good solution, but a good solution still requires the right person to do it! Wang Yushan felt bitter inside¡­ Chapter 297: 298: Its Chen Cang Again! Chapter 297: Chapter 298: It¡¯s Chen Cang Again! Yang Siqi went nk 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 keptforting his wife, but as he spoke, he started to choke up himself. ¡­ ¡­ Chylothorax used to be considered a difficult andplicated 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 seque. 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 Qie 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 haspacted the lung tissue to a very small size, preventing alver development, and has disced 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 thepressed 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 bbergasted! 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 rtivelymon 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 ughter¡¯ ¡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 inurate, it could potentially harm the fetus¡¯s tiny heart and lungs, or even¡­ lead directly to the death of the fetus. How could Zhang Jinfenge 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 n. How could this madwomane 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 n 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 n¡­ is too risky!¡± ¡°This method ispletely impossible!¡± Shi Qi firmly denied, after all, in his many years of practice, he had never heard of such a treatment n. 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 rtively still, and with urate 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 nced 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 n was really risky, and ordinary people wouldn¡¯t even think about it, but Zhang Jinfeng hade up with it. Cheng Xin, nervous, spoke the truth, ¡°This was taught by Teacher Chen in the thoracentesis ss 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;st 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 usible 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 261: 262: Play a Song at Your Wedding (5000-word mega ) Chapter 261: Chapter 262: y 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 arergely 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, cardiovascr 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 stic 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, stic surgery and dermatological surgery in hospitals are almost alwaysbined; some hospitals don¡¯t have a separate dermatological department and simply have a stic surgery department, while others might make a distinction. But stic surgery operations are generally major surgeries, oftensting several hours, withrge operations asionally working through the night. Women generally can¡¯t handle surgeries thatst 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. Mostprehensive 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 vascr 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 exploringplex suture techniques, it was better to maximize the advantages of traditional techniques. However, her views weren¡¯t widely epted 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 philosophypared to those who idolized Professor Tang. After all, the Tang method for treating flexor tendon injuries had now be the international standard, recognized by the European Society for Surgery of the Hand. In the academic medicalmunity, 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 avable¡ªisn¡¯t this the direction she had been researching for years? At that moment, Chang Honglei couldn¡¯t help but be 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 hisprehensive disy 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 dy her return to Beijing and first have a thorough exchange with Chen Cang. She believed that throughmunication 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 talentes 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 Hande to China to learn from us!¡± Chang Honglei¡¯s face blushed slightly, her expression somewhat longing. If only that day would trulye, 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 intoughter 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 notck 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 timees 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 tform of Dongyang Province. It was not easy to have built up the current situation and atmosphere. Although not arge tform, it was the most suitable one for Chen Cang. On such a tform, 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 be 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 aplished; having created the Bunnell method at thirty, it suddenly urred 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 andmenting, right? If they were all sighing andmenting 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 ying?¡± 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, ording to my many years of surgical experience, today¡¯s surgery was very sessful! Based on past assessments, there¡¯s at least a ny 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 ying.¡± 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 oue, 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 im with the insurancepany and obtained arge 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 sessful! 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 inly, you are my life-savers, these hands¡­ they¡¯re just too important, they¡¯re like my second life. I started ying 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 toe and y 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 y 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 everyoneugh. Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help butugh and shake his head, the kid is as cheeky as ever. ¡­ ¡­ However, at this moment, the most bustling ce 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 sess. This discovery immediately caused everyone¡¯s hearts to sink to the bottom of a valley! The probability of the surgery¡¯s sess 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 be 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% sess 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,pletely 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 exhrating, 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 contemte. 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: 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¡¯spany¡¯s vice-president, burning with impatience. And even more so, the insurancepany 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 sessful?¡± ¡°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¡­ Tooplex 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 sessful. 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [Ding! Sessfully 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 taskpleted: 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 werepleted, 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 indeedfortable; it would be even more delightful if he could avoid being interviewed by that group of reporterster 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, andpleting the mission will unlock the Hand Surgery skill tree!] [Ding! It has been detected that you have alreadypleted 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, (ss 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 surgeryst time. It wasn¡¯t because hecked 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 intenseplex 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 aplex cyanotic congenital heart defect, which includes fourponents: ventricr septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and right ventricr hypertrophy. Among these, pulmonary stenosis includes right ventricr 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 andplete 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 toe. That is the three gratitude gift packages. [Ding! Opening Xing Yu¡¯s gratitude gift package, congrattions, 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 asions, such asrge music festivals, symphonies, etc., each with a different style of piano ying. Chen Cang acquired Xing Yu¡¯s Nocturne skill. Nocturnes, a genre created by the Irishposer 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 contemtive 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 providingfort. One of the more famous examples is the 19 Nocturnes for piano,posed 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 be a pianist¡ªhow impressive would that be? [Ding! Received Wang Yushan¡¯s Gratitude Gift Pack: Acquired the Peripheral Nerve Anastomosis (Rxation) Technique: Advanced.] [Ding! Received Chang Honglei¡¯s Gratitude Gift Pack: Acquired the Peripheral Vascr Anastomosis of The Hand Technique: Advanced.] Both skills weremonly 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 regr 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 be 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 sess 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 ze 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 bing 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 hisurels! So, Wang Yushan was sincerely advising Chen Cang, hoping he could understand some things; otherwise¡­ if he missed the golden period, it would be toote. 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 bing 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 publicmentary; 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 thatbined 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 nned on bing 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 be famous¡­ I was actually nning to slip away quietly¡­¡± Hearing this, everyone burst intoughter. 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 afortable 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 agees 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 askster 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 formter. 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 rmendations, 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 be amittee member? ¡°Um¡­ Director Wang, is there a chance for me to be amittee member?¡± Chapter 263: 264: Perfect Grade Tendon, the Thesis is Coming Out (Extra for Provocation!) Chapter 263: Chapter 264: Perfect Grade Tendon, the Thesis is Coming Out (Extra for Provocation!) After Chen Cang¡¯s words, Wang Yushan and the others were dumbfounded¡­ Wang Yushan forced an awkward smile, ¡°This¡­ Director, it¡¯s not just up to me to decide, it depends on everyone¡¯s vote. However, when ites to voting, the main considerations are experience and qualifications, research, and publications. If you¡¯re thinking about bing a director, you might want to consider publishing some articles!¡± Wang Yushan thought Chen Cang wanted to join the board of directors of the Chinese Medical Association¡¯s Hand Surgery Branch, which would indeed be very difficult! Meanwhile, Tan Zhonglin was utterly baffled. I¡­ I¡¯m not even a director yet, and you, how old are you? You want to be a director already¡­ In fact, Chen Cang only wanted to be a director of the Dongyang Branch. A beautiful misunderstanding made Chen Cang resolve to focus on his articles once he got back. Chang Honglei said, ¡°Chen, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll include you in my new research proposal. Your research achievements will skyrocket immediately!¡± Tan Zhonglin was taken aback; he really wanted to ask if he could join too. Chen Cang nodded, it seemed that bing a director wasn¡¯t hard after all¡­
    I was lied to by Director An before¡­ With these thoughts, Chen Cang pondered all the way back. Upon returning to the hospital, Qin Yue the little ass-kisser darted over like a cat, trailing behind Chen Cang¡¯s butt, and gossiped eagerly, ¡°How did it go, Chen? My male god is okay, isn¡¯t he?¡± Chen Cang, speechless, snorted in derision and didn¡¯t bother with Qin Yue, striding forward, ¡°Look at you, groveling like a dog, have some self-respect¡­¡± Seeing this, Qin Yue quickened his pace, and while walking, scoffed, ¡°Ha! You¡¯re just sour and jealous. If you had my man¡¯s piano skills, I¡¯d fawn over you too!¡± Chen Cang suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Qin Yue, ¡°Are you serious?¡± Qin Yue, following behind Chen Cang¡¯s butt, didn¡¯t expect him to turn suddenly; her face nearly nted into Chen Cang¡¯s chest. She hastily stepped back, pouting and huffing, ¡°A spoken word, a galloping horse¡ªit cannot be chased back!¡± Chen Cang¡¯s face brightened with delight, tempted as he pondered the best approach. Qin Yue also followed Chen Cang into the locker room, asking, ¡°So, what actually happened today? Come on, tell me, was there a big scene?¡± Chen Cang sighed helplessly, ¡°You really owe me one. If it weren¡¯t for me today, your male god would¡¯ve kissed his piano-ying goodbye for life.¡± Qin Yue rolled her eyes, ¡°Look at you, so full of yourself. Did you see? The news has already been released. Xing Yu¡¯s surgery went smoothly, and the experts believe it won¡¯t affect his piano-ying, but he will need to undergo a period of recovery training. That¡¯s why he has refused allmercial performances for the meantime.¡± ¡°Today¡¯s surgery lineup was filled with elites. Director Wang from the Six Hospitals of Modu came, and so did Director Chang from Jishuitan! These are big names in the field of hand surgery, no wonder the surgery went so smoothly!¡± ¡°So many experts, Chen, I bet you didn¡¯t even get to see Xing Yu, right? You were just there to make up the numbers¡­¡± Chen Cang sighed, yeah, they all came, they were my assistants, women, really are shallow, to believe the news! And it¡¯s entertainment news, at that! With that thought, he shook his head, ¡°Hey, Qin Yue, I¡¯ve realized that your very existence is to prove one phrase wrong!¡± Qin Yue turned around, her face full of curiosity, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Chen Cang, having changed into his white coat, stood up and walked outside, ¡°Big boobs, no brains!¡± ¡­
    ¡­ In the afternoon, Chen Cang performed several tendon suture surgeries, and Qin Yue¡¯s gaze towards him clearly harbored a few more ounces of hostility¡­ and murderous intent! The look in her eyes made Chen Cang¡¯s heart flutter with anxiety! After work, to prevent Xiao Qin from stabbing him in the back and for the sake of his own health and safety, he reluctantly continued to treat her to a meal of tendons and knuckles.
    Speaking of which, stitching tendons in the afternoon and eating tendon dishes in the evening had a unique vor of their own, quite energizing, with the only downside being that they got stuck in the teeth. Chen Cang dared not mention this, for fear that Qin Yue would surely im it was a sign of kidney deficiency. After a satisfying meal and an additional cup of Yi Fang milk tea, Qin Yue¡¯s mood improved, and she once again transformed into a ttering Qin Tending Dog. It must be said, Qin Yue¡¯s ability to bounce back was quite impressive, although she oftenined and got angry, but¡­ a cup of milk tea could solve it all, and if that wasn¡¯t enough, just add a hotpot meal. In any case, this youngdy had a really great character, and was hardworking and resilient; she had not had an easy time following Chen Cang aroundtely. Up early and backte, operating during the day, and doing scientific research overtime at night. So treating Qin Yue to meals was something Chen Cang didn¡¯t begrudge at all; she was performing so many surgeries with him every day that not just a meal, but providing her meals every day would be fine. Moreover, Chen Cang¡¯s financial situation had improved quite a bit; in one month, he did three breast augmentation surgeries, plus a few cosmetic designs, raking in more than three million in total. It had to be admitted that although there were wealthy clients, they weren¡¯t exactly plentiful; this realization somewhat shattered Chen Cang¡¯s dream of getting rich through breast augmentation surgeries. Because he had been quite busytely, Chen Cang hadn¡¯t had the chance to look at houses yet; with the National Day holiday just around the corner, he nned to take his parents to see houses. After all¡­ for people from his hometown, buying a house in the city was a matter of great pride. With his dad, Chen Dahai¡¯s inability to keep things to himself for three sentences, he¡¯d surely go back, buy good liquor, cook up several dishes, invite a few friends over to eat, drink, and boast, wishing the entire vige knew about it. Of course, while buying a house was one thing, his parents might not actually want to stay with him in the city since they had lived their whole lives in their hometown and were used to it. With all the neighbors and the habit of dropping by each other¡¯s homes, Chen Dahai¡¯s capabilities couldn¡¯t be parted from the home either. As a chef in the vige, he was busy visiting a hundred homes ¨C one family hosting an event today, another family inviting him tomorrow ¨C Chen Dahai felt fulfilled, happy, and content.
    Being respected at home gave him some sense of prestige, and surely living in the city wouldn¡¯t be asfortable as living at home. After all, what¡¯s most important for people is to feelfortable, and the feeling of being respected and needed is one of the most vital human desires. After leaving Tian Street, Qin Yue, sipping her milk tea, sighed, ¡°Chen Cang, it¡¯s been a month. Don¡¯t you have any ns yet? The two or three external hard drives I bought are almost full, and the data collection is piled higher than my bed in my bedroom!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t figure out a research direction soon, all our hard work this period will have been for nothing, and that¡¯s several hundred yuan of my face mask money!¡± Chen Cang smiled and said, ¡°Soon, in a few days, we¡¯re going to publish an awesome paper! I¡¯ll list you as the first author.¡± Qin Yue rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, ¡°Don¡¯t get any ideas about my teacher, you know. My teacher doesn¡¯t know anyone on the surgical journal¡¯s editorial board.¡± ¡­ After dropping Qin Yue off at the hospital staff residence building, Chen Cang went straight home, unaware that from a window on the 16th floor, an old face peered out, muttering to himself while staring at Chen Cang¡¯s retreating figure for a long time. ¡°Old Qin, what are you doing at the window?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°Just looking at the scenery!¡± In reality, what scenery? He was probably contemting¡­ his future son-inw! Seeing his daughter¡¯s absent-mindedness these past few days, Old Qin felt a pang of heartache. ¡­
    ¡­ After a busy day, Chen Cang freshened up andy in bed, turning on the virtual screen. [Ding! Would you like to activate the Tang Suture Method Intensive Training?] Chen Cang¡¯s experience with the Tendon Suture Surgery skill was already at its maximum, but the upgrade just hadn¡¯t happened yet. Now, however, Chen Cang had a premonition that after special training in the Tang Suture Method, his breakthrough was imminent! With that thought, Chen Cang began the intensive training! Afterward, his vision changed and he was once again in the operating room. A man in his fifties wearing sses appeared before him. Without asking, it must be Professor Tang. Chen Cang bowed to say hello, and the other party also began the intensive training! At first, Chen Cang was skeptical about why it was called intensive training. But as soon as the training started, he understood why. After mastering the Tang Suture Method, Chen Cang began suture training. However, after each training session, the tendons he¡¯d sutured would suddenly magnify, bing as thick as he was, and what happened nextpletely dumbfounded him.
    Because¡­ He could actually see the tendons he sutured moving about and slowly healing, as well as changing continuously during the intensive training process! At this point, Chen Cang was astonished. Such incredible high-tech! After every suture, Chen Cang could precisely identify where the problemy and how to correct it in the future by observing the growth and healing trends of the tendon! Again and again! Chen Cang finally realized the brilliance of the Tang method, using a special technique of 6-strand suturing to ingeniously shorten the functional recovery period of the flexor tendon to just 12 hours, allowing for rehabilitation and reducing the likelihood of adhesive damage. Logically, six-strand suturing should increase adhesions, but the Tang method uses its own advantages topensate for its shorings, reducing rehab time to improve treatment efficiency. With each learning session, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but marvel at why the Tang Suture Method was considered the primary suturing technique for treating Tang¡¯s partition syndrome. As time ticked away, Chen Cang not only learned the Tang method but also profoundly understood it. When the system prompt told Chen Cang the training results and asked whether to exit, it was the first time he chose to shake his head! Because he seemed to have also found deficiencies in the Tang method. Every method constantly evolves and improves, and so does the Tang method. What Chen Cang needed to explore next was how to refine the Tang method. Once this idea sprouted, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t contain it any longer. He hurriedly started his training. The structure and function of flexor tendons and extensor tendons are different, which means that suturing them requires focusing on different aspects. Time seemed to lose its significance here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om And Chen Cang seemed to have forgotten the existence of time. He simply kept repeating the process over and over! [Intensive Training Card] is a great item. Unfortunately, in his youthful ignorance, he didn¡¯t cherish it and upgraded his appendectomy skills to perfect level. And now, Chen Cang had not received another [Intensive Training Card] since then. It wasn¡¯t easy to get a chance for special training from daily missions. How could Chen Cang not seize it well? And today¡¯s [Intensive Training] has been particrly enlightening for Chen Cang. He had no idea when he would encounter such an opportunity for intensive training again, a chance not only for training but also to observe tendon growth. Finally! He didn¡¯t know how long it had been! Chen Cang finally burst intoughter. The opportunity for intensive training this time was too rare, and too profoundly beneficial for his own improvement. He hadpletely mastered the Tang method. The Chen method had also been researched by him. Exiting the system space satisfied, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound. [Ding! Congrattions, your Tendon Suture Surgery has been upgraded to: Perfect!] Chen Cang had expected this. During the learning process inside, he could say that he had integrated all the methods. He had not only summarized various suturing methods but had also identified their strengths and weaknesses. This included dozens of suturing methods, which he had now thoroughly mastered! At this moment, Chen Cang wasn¡¯t the least bit sleepy. He got up, turned on hisputer, and after thinking for a while, he directly started writing his first impressive scientific paper! ¡°Selecting the Development Direction and Trend of the Tang Suture Method by Analyzing its Strengths and Weaknesses¡± This was just a simple review, but Chen Cang wrote some new and limited things that were truly eye-opening. It matched his current level and would surely attract the attention of big names! There was a lot in Chen Cang¡¯s mind, but as the saying goes, one has to eat one bite at a time. He couldn¡¯t achieve sess overnight. If he suddenly came out with a groundbreaking paper, it would definitely cause a stir. So, before that, Chen Cang decided to test the waters with this review. Going forward, Chen Cang would take it slow, gradually bringing his knowledge to light! He believed that if Professor Tang saw this paper, he would certainly be very interested. Chen Cang wrote quickly, finishing the draft in just over three hours! The paper was over 4,000 words, focusing on an in-depth analysis and exploration of the Tang method and its future development directions. When signing off on the paper, Chen Cang ced Qin Yue as the first author, while he remained the corresponding author! ps: Three chapters, about 14,000 words in total, equivalent to seven regr chapters. I ask for everyone¡¯s support! Thank you. Thanks to the Grandmaster Miss ¡°Re¡± from QQ reading. Thank you to his grace I am Duke and my friend I Found BU to Antidote for their generous rewards. Chapter 264: 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 regr 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 theyst is unpredictable. Thest 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 upy, and of course, the most important thing was theck of rehabilitation facilities in the emergency department. Recovery from tendon surgery isn¡¯t achieved by simplypleting 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 nearlypleted 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 hismitment toplete 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 surgeryter?¡± [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. Taskpletion reward: Skill points +3.] After hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang chose to ept.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 y 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 reyed 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 ck-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 yers, do anything but heap praise on King-level ys? 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 y 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 mustplete 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; me 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: 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¡¯tst 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 ced 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, sheughed 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¡¯vee 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, asionally asking questions. Chen Cang, undisturbed, continued to exin 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 be unnecessary constraints for Chen Cang, devising the most appropriate and precise way for each patient¡¯s wound was what mattered most.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 nned to exin 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 ording to his own philosophy. After all, his suturing philosophy was derived from the essence of those suturing methods, but¡­ he wondered what the sess rate would be? Actually, this is what is called the ¡°Chen Method¡±! If Chen Cang were to exin what the ¡°Chen Method¡± is, he wouldn¡¯t be able to rify, for the ¡°Chen Method¡± is not a fixed set of procedures, but aplete 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, ording 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 nkly.
    Chen Cang smiled faintly, ¡°This is the ¡®Chen Method¡¯!¡± Both of them were puzzled. Upon hearing this, Qin Yue snorted with augh, ¡°Putting on airs again¡­¡± But An Yanjun¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes intently staring at Chen Cang, ¡°Did youe 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 articte, 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 nces¡­ They suddenly realized that they had been abandoned by their own chief surgeon! Chapter 266: 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. Heughed 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 toe when the timees.¡± 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 rted 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 exemry 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 eptance 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 eximing 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 exmation 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 helpughing 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 alsoughed, ¡°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 ims. If Chen coulde up with ¡°Chenws,¡± what¡¯s being an association director? Yet, watching everyone rallying around, he couldn¡¯t help butugh and say, ¡°Chen Cang, you should be applying for the Alliance Hierarch!¡± Chen Cang, seeing everyone joking, alsoughed 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,ughed and asked, ¡°Chen, are you busy?¡± Chen Cang shook his head, ¡°Not busy, not busy.¡± Tan Zhonglin certainly couldn¡¯t say that he hade 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 istion 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 patientstely 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 ce 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 hade 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 toe 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 Zhonglinughed, ¡°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, andmented, ¡°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 otherprehensive 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?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 nk 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 Cangughed awkwardly, looking at everyone¡¯s expression and suddenly feeling a surge of adrenaline called exhration, 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 youe 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 rmend 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 304: 305: The Director in Pajamas Chapter 304: Chapter 305: The Director in Pajamas When Chen Cang and Old Liu were descending the stairs, worried aboutplications, two proactive young men also came to help, assisting in carrying the injured person to the ambnce. After some hesitation, they decided not to go to the hospital. The pair had only gone out to use the inte 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 me on them? Then it would all be iprehensible. The reason they had waited until now was because of the concern that the man might haveplications. 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 ambnce, 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 immediatelymence 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 arge volume of blood entering the chest cavity¡­ If that were the case, treatment would be 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 arge 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 aa due to shock, it was necessary to contact his family and fully inform them of the situation, proceeding ording to various protocols. As an emergency doctor, one truly needs more than just surgical abilities. Opening the contact list, Chen Cang saw an entrybeled ¡°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 toe back?!¡± the woman on the other end asked sharply. Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, thenposed 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 ident 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¡­ Pleasee 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 dy 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 dy 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 ident 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 ambnce 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 ambnce was en route. As the man was wheeled out of the ambnce, all the medical staff in the emergency hall sprang into action like a set ofws being activated, immediately starting a well-organized hustle! Draw blood! Conduct tests!
    Runb 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 ¡°p p¡­ p p¡± 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 - 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 rtively 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 exined, ¡°The patient¡¯s examination results haven¡¯te 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, apanied 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¡¯splexion 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 umtion 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 rmend 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 umtion?¡± Even Tao Zi felt surprised upon carefulparison, 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 ssic triad of cardiac tamponade symptoms was very evident. This was my first time encountering a patient disying aplete 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 revtion¡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 avable; 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 dyed, so I did it.¡± The three exchanged nces 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 seed 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 prated, 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 quicklyplete the surgery preparations. Chapter 306 - 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 ¡°ng¡± 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 ident! 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 me him for drinking, for returning homete, or for liking to y 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 beenpiled. Now they were just waiting for the test results toe 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 exined, ¡°The victim¡¯s condition is now rtively stable. Let me exin the details to you: the victim¡¯s frontal ribs fractured in the car ident, causing damage to the blood vessels within the pericardium, and arge 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 exining, 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¡±es 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 galldder surgery, he performedplicated 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 canplete the task of delivering five updates a day to make the reading more enjoyable for everyone. Chapter 270: 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 n. He quickly gained aprehensive 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 metacarpophngeal joints and fractures of the phnx 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 particrly 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 butugh 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 vascr issues. Let¡¯s divide the tasks clearly, alright?¡± Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s heart rxed 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 vascr 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,e 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 phnx fracture hadn¡¯t disced, 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 methodmonly 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 phngeal fracture fixation surgeries aremon procedures that hand surgeons often need to perform. Tan has been doing them for half his life, rich in experience, and adept in technique, asionally showcasing it at annual meetings to earn apuse. Thus, Tan Zhonglin was quite confident in this area. In fact, performing surgery, like ying 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 phngeal surgery was really good! [Ding! Congrattions, the title attribute of 5% ¡°Skill Thief¡± has been triggered: you have acquired Tan Zhonglin¡¯s skill: Phngeal Fracture Surgery: Master level.] [Phngeal Fracture Surgery: Includes phngeal repositioning and fixation, etc., Master level; Special effects: 1. urate 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 ted inside, as both special effects, one being precise and the other being firm, were very effective. Because the treatment of phngeal fractures needs to achieve urate 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 oue can basically be influenced by urate 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 nced at Chen Cang. An Yanjun then came in with a ttering remark, ¡°Director Tan¡¯s surgery on phngeal fractures is really good! I saw itst 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 working 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 beenpletely severed! This wasn¡¯t as simple as just saying. Even when clinical reports showed that the survival rate for hands withplete 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, mainlying 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 vascr maic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a coteral cirction had formed at the original infarct site,pensatory 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 afternding¡ªwhat if they were actually just tired of climbing stairs? The blood supply to the hand, in the form of arterialworks 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 goodpensatory 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] = Aplete 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 rtively fine, the procedure is quite arduous and the difficulty of operation is also high. Chapter 271: 272: Establishing a School! Chapter 271: Chapter 272: Establishing a School! ¡°` Compared to thoserge vessels within the abdominal cavity, the blood vessels in the hand are truly¡­ sensual! The 50% increase in visual acuity was bing 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 alsomonly referred to as microsurgery. Generally speaking, a magnification of 6-10x is sufficient; Chen Cang was ustomed 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 vascr 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 bing 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 epassed 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 vascr suturing, which was previously challenging, had be 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 arge artery felt simr; this was somewhat impressive¡­ Havingpleted 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 vascr suture wasplete.
    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 nce¡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 dy, the worse the nerve recovery for the patient. The primary method for repairing hand nerves is nerve suturing. This includes epineural suturing and fascicr 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, fascicr 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 fascicrly 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 nerveworks 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 vascr 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 be 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. Becauseparatively, the possibility of serious adhesions is lower. But that doesn¡¯t mean adhesions won¡¯t ur. This is because the skin on the back of the hand is thin and stic, with ayer of loose connective tissue between it and the extensor tendons, whichck 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 nced 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? Howe 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 bbergasted he became, until he waspletely 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 thest time Chen Cang performed it on Xing Yu! Chen Cang had changed again. And he had be¡­ 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. Ifst 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 hadpletemand 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 urred 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! Thest 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 thews 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: 273: Prosperous Father-in-law! Chapter 272: Chapter 273: Prosperous Father-inw! The surgery wasing 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 ck; at all times, when treating any patient or dealing with any disease, one must give their all. The surgery ended before long. ¡°Ding! Sessful sutures on rare tendon monsters, rare peripheral nerve monsters, and rare peripheral blood vessel monsters achieved, you receive: 1. Experience +500; 2. one nk 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 beenbined? 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 nk Skill Book?! It was purple. ¡°nk 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 nk 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 contemtive, 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 sessful?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Director Qin, the surgery was very sessful. 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 exined, ¡°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 trulymendable! 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 numerousnguages, 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 themon people, that was enough. The three kids saw Guo Zhiyonging 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 rtives 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 ss, 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 receivedmendation 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-inw! Not bad at all! He could be considered for the son-inw 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 nce, 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. ¡­ ¡­ ps: Well, there will be three updates for this evening; more toe at noon tomorrow! Don¡¯t go away, folks~ Also, for the monthly ticket bonus chapters, every 500 tickets will add an extra chapter. It¡¯s the end of the month, so I¡¯m pushing for explosive updates! Aiming for five or six chapters a day, I need everyone¡¯s support ha. Another ps: Lastly, a big thank you to ¡°Pianover,¡± the protector, for the 30,000 reward, much appreciated, and ¡°Mncholy At The Ends Of The Earth,¡± the helmsman, for the 10,000 reward. At noon, 12 o¡¯clock, I¡¯ll add chapters for you two, guaranteeing at least two updates, striving for three! I seek everyone¡¯s support!! Chapter 273: 274: Youre here to poach someone, arent you? (Extra for Pianover!) Chapter 273: Chapter 274: You¡¯re here to poach someone, aren¡¯t you? (Extra for Pianover!) Tomorrow is October 1st, and everyone is peacefully awaiting the arrival of the National Day holiday, silently nning where to unt themselves during the holiday. After all, we¡¯re too busy on regr days, wanting to rest and go out to y, but having no time at all. Finally, the National Day holiday is upon us, and even though ces are crowded, everyone still wants to go out and stroll around, after all, we really can¡¯t take care of our families due to work on regr days. Qin Yue sat there, ¡°Miss Shi, have you bought your ne tickets?¡± With the holiday approaching, Shi Na¡¯s mood has been especially good these days, her eyes smiling, ¡°I bought them ahead of time, by the way, I brought you a gift when I came.¡± Qin Yue giggled, squinting her eyes, ¡°Miss Shi is the best! Once your brother-inw graduates, you guys can enjoy the good life¡­¡± Shi Na nned to go abroad for the National Day to see her husband who was at a postdoctoral station overseas, and take the opportunity to show their child around and have some fun. She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it wasn¡¯t easy to finally wait for the holiday. She had even swapped shifts in advance to take off for a good five or six days of rest. In fact, these teaching doctors are not very old, only in their thirties, not yet forty. Although ustomed to calling them teachers, they¡¯re actually more like older brothers and sisters, and so Qin Yue calls Shi Na¡¯s husband ¡°brother-inw,¡± and Chen Cang calls Chen Bingsheng¡¯s wife ¡°sister-inw,¡± which is actually the same rationale. After all, calling someone ¡°teacher¡¯s wife¡± wouldn¡¯t be quite right, would it? It¡¯s better to call her ¡°sister-inw.¡±
    It¡¯s more cordial to call her ¡°sister-inw.¡± Chen Cang looked at Old Chen and shed a ttering smile, ¡°Boss, take a look, the teacher is buying gifts for her students when she goes abroad; what do you n to buy for me?¡± Chen Bingsheng nced at Chen Cang, ¡°You kid now earn more than I do, and you never consider showing some filial piety to your elder during the holidays, yet you want me to buy you things, you ungrateful rascal.¡± As soon as everyone heard this, they burst into heartyughter. Chen Cang really does earn quite a bit now, but the key is that it¡¯s tiring. With so many surgeries every day, there was a period when there were a lot of Tendon Suture Surgery patients, up to more than a dozen a day, and he performed three to four hundred tendon surgeries in a month. Each surgery, without talking too much, brings in a couple of hundred bucks. That¡¯s already thirty or forty thousand. But it¡¯s genuinely exhausting! The average doctor does at most a few dozen surgeries a month, and three to five a day is the most. Having more than a dozen Tendon Suture Surgeries a year basically leaves no other time. Each day is filled with a life and work of constant patching up, with getting off work after nine o¡¯clock, the workload could not be considered light. Thinking of this, Chen Bingsheng looked at Chen Cang and sighed, whispering to him, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t push yourself too hard, either. It¡¯s good to be young, but you can¡¯t keep going like this.¡± ¡°Doing over a dozen surgeries a day, nobody can withstand that! If the money¡¯s not enough, take your time.¡± Chen Cang nodded and smiled. During this period, with the hand surgery department just getting underway, Chen Cang was fully invested in support of Director An, and though it was tiring, the rewards were substantial. At that moment, Chen Bingsheng took out several tickets from his pocket and handed them to Chen Cang, ¡°Here are five tickets to Yueyang Hot Spring Vi. You¡¯re stable now, so bring your parents out with you, go and have a rest, and take your brother as well.¡± Chen Cang looked at the tickets to Yueyang Hot Spring Vi in his hand, which read VIP three-day pass, and was instantly stunned. Yueyang Vi is located in the northwest corner of Anyang City, where there are natural hot springs. Throughout history, royal estates were built there, and after the founding of the country, developers transformed the interiors into a hot spring resort, maintaining the ancient architectural style, and it became a five-star hotel integrating leisure, entertainment, dining, and amodation. These five three-day passes included amodation, dining, and leisure entertainment. Chen Cang gave a bashful smile, ¡°This is so valuable¡­is it appropriate?¡± Chen Bingsheng shook his head and said with a smile, ¡°They were given by a pharmaceuticalpany, I don¡¯t have time to go. I¡¯m taking the kids hiking, and it¡¯s a waste not to go, so you should take your family along.¡±
    Chen Cang didn¡¯t doubt it, because pharmaceuticalpanies, in order to maintain good rtions with hospital doctors, would often give out travel vouchers and the like during the holidays. After all, those pharmaceuticalpanies are wealthier and have agreements with hotels, resorts, and even tourismpanies, able to purchase at an internal price, akin to a group purchase. Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up, ¡°That¡¯s so embarrassing!¡± Chen Bingsheng extended his hand, ¡°If you don¡¯t want them, I¡¯ll take them back, huh?¡±
    Chen Cang quickly stuffed the tickets into his pocket and got up to walk away, ¡°Boss, since when do gifts given out have a saying that they can be taken back? That¡¯s taking it too far!¡± Seeing this, the whole room burst intoughter again, with Big Chen and Little Chen always being the two jokers of the office. Wang Qian looked on enviously at An Yanjun, ¡°Teacher~~~~Director~~~~~¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn An Yanjun spoke indifferently, ¡°Yeah, and Wang, we have shifts during the National Day holiday. You¡¯ve got to work hard.¡± Wang Qian¡¯s face instantly fell. The tranquility in the emergency room was short-lived, and patients arrived soon enough, plunging into the hectic work. Recently, there haven¡¯t been many patients, so An Yanjun didn¡¯t need to split surgeries with Chen Cang. Chen Cang was the one operating, with An Yanjun watching, and asionally An Yanjun would operate with Chen Cang giving guidance. At this pace, in no more than two days, he would be able toplete 500 Tendon Suture Surgeries himself. During a surgery, suddenly a figure slipped in. Chen Cang didn¡¯t look up, but An Yanjun happened to see, ¡°Director Tan?¡± Tan Zhonglin nodded with a smile, ¡°Mhm, yeah, you guys carry on, I just came to watch.¡± A seemingly ordinary remark suddenly made An Yanjun feel threatened! This guy might being to snatch the assistant role! Indeed, after one surgery was over and before the second surgery began, during the time the three took to wash their hands.
    Tan Zhonglin suddenly said, ¡°Director An, feeling tired? How about you take a break? I can assist?¡± The moment An Yanjun heard this, his heart tightened instantly¡ªsure enough, they came to snatch the position. Could he let it happen? He could not! An Yanjun casually shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine, not tired. Director Tan, you¡¯ve traveled far to be our guest, just watch will do.¡± Tan Zhonglin: ¡­ Chen Cang was also curious and nced at Tan Zhonglin, ¡°Director Tan, isn¡¯t it busy at your ce?¡± Tan Zhonglin smiled, ¡°Not busy, not busy at all.¡± At this moment, Li Baoshan suddenly entered the operating room and saw Tan Zhonglin there¡ªhe blinked! Why was he here? Could it be¡­ Li Baoshan looked up at Chen Cang and muttered to himself: disaster! This weasel is paying New Year¡¯s respects to the chicken¡ªit¡¯s up to no good!
    They¡¯vee to poach right into the operating room. This can¡¯t be allowed! Chen Cang is the department¡¯s treasure, how can he simply be snatched away? He had heard from the head nurse that Tan Zhonglin had been to the department several times these days¡­ With this in mind, Li Baoshan took a deep breath, determined to have it out with this old weasel! After walking over, Li Baoshan pretended to be curious and said, ¡°Director Tan!?¡± Tan Zhonglin suddenly heard someone speaking, turned around and saw it was Li Baoshan, ¡°Director Li! What a coincidence.¡± Li Baoshan snorted with augh. A coincidence? Youe to our operating room and call it a coincidence? Li Baoshan nodded, ¡°Yeah! Quite a coincidence, bumping into you here in our operating room.¡± Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face reddened, ¡°I came to exchange and learn!¡± Li Baoshan was straightforward and upon hearing this, he directly said, ¡°Director Tan is probably thinking about pulling our young Chen over to your Provincial People¡¯s for an exchange!¡± A few young nurses, seeing the directors talking about something secretive, instantly pricked up their ears. When they heard Li Baoshan¡¯s words, the nurses suddenly looked at Tan Zhonglin with hostility!
    ¡°He¡¯s trying to poach our Doctor Young Chen!¡± ¡°What do you mean ¡®our¡¯? Clearly, he¡¯s from my department!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, now is not the time for infighting; Young Dr. Chen is about to be poached to the Provincial People¡¯s! This is when we must unite and fight themon foe together!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let those meddlesome people from Provincial People¡¯s have their way!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± ¡°The viin! That can¡¯t happen! Drive them off!¡± ¡°Right, we can¡¯t let those people from¡­ Provincial People¡¯s have their way¡­¡± A group of young nurses buzzed with chatter, and their gaze towards Tan Zhonglin was filled with resentment, as if mourning a husband stolen away! ¡­ Upon hearing Li Baoshan¡¯s words, Tan Zhonglin¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Director Li, you¡¯re misunderstanding me. If I were to poach young Chen, I wouldn¡¯te to the operating room to do it!¡± Li Baoshan sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ that¡¯s uncertain! Now that you¡¯vee to the operating room¡­ there¡¯s nothing you wouldn¡¯t do.¡± Seeing how things stood, Tan Zhonglin realized that being unforting was not working¡ªLi Baoshan was guarding Chen Cang closely, fearful of him being snatched away! With this thought in mind, Tan Zhonglin directly dered, ¡°Director Li, I really came to learn! I came to study young Chen¡¯s Tendon Suture Surgery method!¡± At these words, Li Baoshan was half doubtful, ¡°Really?¡± Tan Zhonglin, ¡°Would I joke about this?¡± Li Baoshan still harbored some suspicions, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not here to undermine us?¡± Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but mutter to himself, if only he could take him away! Chapter 311: 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 tough 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 forypeople. 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 amon 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 exined, ¡°Tinea cruris is a skin condition primarily caused by fungal infection, urring 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 exining tinea cruris to the couple, Chen Cang looked at them. The couple, reassured by the exnation, also rxed. 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 ming who first? You even used 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 everined 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 uprehending, but you maligned me, using 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. Howe 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 verymon, 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 aplish 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 ofpassion. ¡­ 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 amon, 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 exined. 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 rmended 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¡­ s, 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 be a somewhat impressive person myself! Keep it up, old-timer! Chapter 275: 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 red 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 use 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 whileter. Yang Jiahui suddenly remembered something and whispered, ¡°Did you check if the money is there?¡± Chen Dahai red at her, ¡°What are you talking about at the train station!¡± After that, he carefully felt a bag he was carrying, then nced 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.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 timeing 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 coulde 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 wille 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, misceneous fees, and living expenses for next year can be arranged. Life is about oveing 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 muscr, 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 muscr 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 Cangughed, ¡°Dad, why are you carrying so much?¡± Chen Dahaiughed heartily, ¡°Your mom loves you kids so much, she¡¯s practically moved us out.¡± Chen Luo joined in with his ownughter, ¡°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 pped him yfully, ¡°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 ce. 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 vige were wild, but it was only after he started working at the hospital that he realized unruly kids weren¡¯t confined to any one ce. For dinner that night, Chen Cang chose Haido, 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 Dahaiughed as well, ¡°Go for it, it¡¯s good for your hands. Look how rough they are.¡± Atst, 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, andrge 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 resemnce 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 red. But at that moment, seeing his mother¡¯sbor-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: 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 yfully 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 red 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 toment 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 toe and enjoy yourselves. Afterward, we can go to the hot spring hotel to rx 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 regr 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 Cangughed 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 cane 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 cane and cook for Cang Er, and I¡¯ll just stay at home and look after the house.¡± Yang Jiahui red at Chen Dahai, ¡°If I go, who will cook for you?!¡±
    Chen Dahaiughed heartily, ¡°I¡¯m a chef, I¡¯m not worried about that.¡± Yang Jiahui shook her head, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about thister. 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 vige for half our lives and wouldn¡¯t befortable 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 parentsfortable 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 dinnersted 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 withughter and chatter, the four of them gathered together, bought some sunflower seeds, turned on the television, and chatted away. The evening passed inughter and conversation. Chen Cang had been working and hadn¡¯t been home sincest New Year¡¯s. Moreover¡­ If you¡¯re under a lot of pressure, your personality tends to be 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 Vi 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 ns. With no alternative, Chen Cang put it in his bag, thinking he woulde 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,yout, 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 ce is close to the Provincial Second Hospital, and the real estate project hasn¡¯t been fullypleted 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 salesdy, pointing at the model and getting exnations. 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 theyst met, as soon as they started talking, they naturally fell back into familiarity. Chapter 277: 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, ¡°nning 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 nning to look at a house, after all, my job is stable now, and I¡¯m thinking of finding a ce 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 wasfortably 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 ount. 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 ce 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 nning 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 ssmates are all worrying about it now.¡±
    Chen Cangughed awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ve gone back to study, haven¡¯t I? Now you are all my seniors.¡± Geng Yan couldn¡¯t helpughing, ¡°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 saledy like an expert, not at all like someone from the countryside. Actually, even from the vige, it was an urban vige, 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 youe 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 toe to the wedding.¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t helpughing, ¡°Ex-boyfriend¡¯s table?¡± Geng Yan almost burst outughing, cursing with augh, ¡°Scram, you¡¯re going to have a whole table to yourself!¡± Chen Cangughed heartily. The two of them really had a good rtionship. In college, it wasn¡¯t love at first sight; Chen Cang was the ss monitor and Geng Yan was the studymittee member. First, they were very good friends, and then their rtionship 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 n 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 meing 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 changepared 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 be 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 calcte 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 ceremonyst time. A freshman fainted and was subsequently diagnosed with echinocosis, 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!¡± ¡°inly 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 nevere across.¡± Chen Cang was taken aback¡ªechinocosis? 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om I¡­ At this moment, suddenly someone called out, ¡°Geng Yan!¡± Geng Yan quickly responded, ¡°Coming,ing, 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 asting 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 echinocal cysts!¡± ¡°Let me tell you, Dr. Chen has extremely high surgical skills, very skilled. I can¡¯tpare! 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 echinocosis 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 nce, 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 themotion. 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 278: 279: A Fine Line Between Life and Death! (Extra for 9000 monthly tickets) Chapter 278: Chapter 279: A Fine Line Between Life and Death! (Extra for 9000 monthly tickets) ¡°` Ever since Chen Cang started working in the emergency department, his heart had always been tense. He never fully rxed; sometimes when he fell asleep and heard the sound of the 120 emergency ambnces below, Chen Cang would suddenly flip out of the covers and get out of bed. Things had gotten a bit better this year, perhaps because he had gotten used to this kind of life. So, the moment he heard the cry for help. Chen Cang didn¡¯t have time to react before he ran towards that direction! Jing Ran did the same! Jing Ran, a thoracic surgeon, often worked with the emergency department to carry out various rescue operations. Over the years, he too had developed such an alertness. Perhaps it was like how a police officer reacts to the keywords ¡°Help, robbery, murder!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om As a medical worker, many times, the word ¡°Help¡± has be their responsibility.
    Saving lives and treating the wounded is the sacred duty of a doctor. So, over the years, even though incidents of violence against doctors and repaying grievance with virtue have never ceased, you still see examples of medical staff stepping forward in train stations, squares, trains, airnes, and so on. Sometimes, even if life is merely about scraping by, there are still those who are not afraid of the pettiness because they hold poems and distantnds in their hearts. It was like how Guo Zhiyong sprang into action in the blink of an eye to save three children; there was no room for consideration, Chen Cang and Jing Ran had only one thought in their minds: save the person first! They initially thought the distance wasn¡¯t far, but it turned out that what had fallen from the building wasn¡¯t on this side, but rather on the construction site around the corner from the sales office. The two didn¡¯t care about the dust flying around as they rushed over, and by the time they arrived, three to five minutes had already passed! By then, seven or eight people were gathered around the scene. Chen Cang shouted urgently, ¡°Make way, we¡¯re doctors!¡± At his words, the crowd dispersed! And at that moment, the patient¡¯s condition was revealed in front of everyone! Seeing the patient¡¯s state, Chen Cang¡¯s scalp tingled. A piece of rebar had entered right below the neck, prating the entire right side of the chest cavity. The bleeding was severe, life was in imminent danger, and he was nailed immovably by the more than ten meters of rebar! Chen Cang bent down and saw the rebar, very different from the one that had prated Zhu Yongwang; it was about 25 millimeters in diameter and over ten meters of threaded steel! And there was a stone attached to the rebar, firmly nailing the patient down, making it difficult to move. The entire scene was bloody and violent, enough to make anyone¡¯s hair stand on end. At this moment, blood was still spurting from the chest, causing a shudder in those who saw it! Yet, looking at the injured man, a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in work clothes, covered in dirt and dust, his forehead was tightly furrowed, his teeth clenched, fists tightly clenched, silent! Such pain must be heart-wrenching, and yet the man uttered not a sound, his dark face etched with a determination that was reminiscent of the tough guy image often seen on TV. But Chen Cang knew that tough guys are made for TV shows, but this kind of toughness couldn¡¯t be faked!
    Who would joke about their own life? Even though Chen Cang had spent three years in the emergency department, he was still shocked by the situation at hand. The workers around were also too frightened to move! Chen Cang quickly said, ¡°Call 119!¡±
    Jing Ran was taken aback and hurriedly took out his phone to make contact. At this time, it was crucial for Chen Cang to understand exactly how the patient was injured and to quickly ascertain the possible areas of damage and what to watch out for during the rescue. After making the call, Jing Ran didn¡¯t dial 120 but called the hospital¡¯s emergency department directly, only to find no one answering. Anxious, Jing Ran¡¯s right hand holding the phone began to tremble, his face turning ashen, anger making him want to throw the phone! Chen Cang straightforwardly dialed the nursing station at the Second Provincial Hospital: ¡°Vanke Ziyang, the patient is nearly fifty years old, he fell from a building, a piece of rebar is inserted¡­ send an ambnce quickly!¡± The nursing station was manned by Xiao Lin! ¡°` Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s urgent voice, he quickly contacted the 120 emergency medical technicians and ran out, carrying a box with long and quick strides from the resuscitation room. The duty doctor in the emergency department was Wang Qian. After learning of the situation, he promptly contacted the operating room to prepare for emergency rescue! He then got hold of Li Baoshan directly and gave a full report on the incident! The entire emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital was mobilized in an instant! Even during the National Day holiday, there would absolutely be no impact on the rescue operations. There are a few professions in this world that can never rest!
    One is a doctor, the other is a police officer (all police officers)! One is the line of defense for the safety of the people! The other is the life-saving line for the people! It wasn¡¯t long after dialing 119 that the rescue work began to deploy rapidly. Chen Cang checked the time. At that moment: 9:15 AM! Without a monitor, without any kind of safety assurance, Chen Cang dared not take any superfluous actions! All he could do at the moment was stop the bleeding! Chen Cang took off his short-sleeved shirt and pressed it against the patient¡¯s bleeding wound! Compression hemostasis was the only thing that could be done at the moment! Everything¡­ had to wait for the arrival of the 120 ambnce and monitoring before considering how to cut the steel rod. The time was 9:23 AM. The patient¡¯s consciousness began to blur slightly, and Chen Cang estimated that the blood loss had reached around 1000.
    Chen Cang began to worry. To transport the patient to the ambnce, what must be done first was cutting the steel rod! But there were no suitable tools on the construction site, which is where the help of the 119 was needed. At 9:25 AM! The sound of the fire engine finally came, and the fire engine drove in. After the crowd dispersed, the firefighters began their urgent work! Upon their arrival, Chen Cang hastened to negotiate. ¡°Hello! Comrade, I¡¯m Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Provincial Second Hospital. The 120 ambnce will arrive soon. What we need to do now is cut off the steel rod connected below!¡± Firefighter Wei Hong looked at Chen Cang, who was bare-chested, pressing his own clothes on the patient¡¯s wound for hemostasis. The white short-sleeved shirt waspletely soaked red. Wei Hong nodded; the fire service personnel¡¯s job at this point was to cooperate with the medical staff to aplish this rescue: ¡°Hello, Dr. Chen, what do we need to do now?¡± With his rich experience, Wei Hong knew the most correct choice was to cooperate with the doctor rather than make blind decisions! Chen Cang assessed the situation: ¡°We need to prop up the patient, then cut off the steel rod below, and also cut off the rod above. Comrades, you prepare the equipment first; the 120 will be here any moment!¡±
    At this time, it was 9:30 AM! About 20 minutes since the patient was injured, the blood loss was not too great; temporarypression hemostasis still yed its due role! At the moment! The patient¡¯s condition was still rtively stable. Chen Cang anxiously awaited the arrival of the 120. Chapter 279: 280: Racing Against Time (Additional Update for Boss Ling and Mr. Mo Ru) Chapter 279: Chapter 280: Racing Against Time (Additional Update for Boss Ling and Mr. Mo Ru) At this moment, the 120 emergency medical team had not arrived, and Chen Cang dared not make any rash moves! Cutting the rebar was by no meanspletely safe; any danger could jeopardize the patient¡¯s life at this moment! Compared to appearances, the scene might look extremely bloody and violent, but the patient was conscious and lucid. That is to say, the patient¡¯s condition was stable! At this time, one must avoid any arbitrary movements that could cause or exacerbate vascr injury. Fortunately, the steel rebar had pierced the right side of the thoracic cavity, and not the left front or sternum, or otherwise¡­ it would have been over. At the moment, the only worry was whether the aorta had been damaged and whether the steel rebar had injured the trachea¡ªjust don¡¯t let any blood get into the respiratory tract¡­n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Thinking this, Chen Cang could only slightly adjust the patient¡¯s position, then try his best to keep the patient more conscious, facilitating the uing transport and rescue! Chen Cangforted, ¡°How do you feel?¡± The man bit down hard on his teeth, his eyes shut, sweat persistently breaking out on his forehead!
    Hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, the man struggled to open his eyes, ¡°Not too bad!¡± Chen Cang nodded, feeling less tense than before, ¡°Mmm, don¡¯t be so tense right now, rx a bit, we¡¯ll need to cut the rebar soon, try to keep your breathing steady.¡± Chen Cang spoke to the man, hoping to keep him more alert. At 9:35 in the morning: The 120 ambnce raced to the scene like a runaway horse, speeding over! After receiving Chen Cang¡¯s call, Old Yang, the driver, floored it to the construction site! As soon as the car stopped, Nurse Xiao Lin immediately grabbed the first aid kit and ran over, while Wang Qian, carrying the oxygen bag and other items, came charging! At this moment, Chen Cang felt at ease! The rescue could begin now. Chen Cang turned to the surrounding workers, ¡°Has the boss been contacted?¡± One of the workers quickly replied, ¡°Yes, yes, he will be here soon!¡± At 9:40 in the morning: The rescue work began! Under the guidance of Chen Cang and others, the firefighters used their equipment to lift the patient, then had to cut the rebar connected to the stone b on the ground! This process required extreme caution! Because the injury to the patient was quite special, any violent vibration could damage the internal organs! And because the threaded rebar was rough and uneven, every slight lift required significant effort from the patient! The man¡¯s temples bulged with exposed blue veins, his hands sped and shaking! What a strong man!
    The capiries around his tightly clenched teeth burst, blood flowing out mixed with saliva. It really hurt! But from beginning to end, he hadn¡¯t made a sound. A will of steel was holding up his life.
    Just as they were about to lift him, the patient¡¯s situation no longer allowed it. Chen Cang hastily stopped them! ¡°Alright, firefighterrades, do you think this distance is okay?¡± Wei Hong lowered his head, judging the distance. ¡°It should be close enough!¡± Chen Cang quickly motioned all medical staff to support the patient, waiting for the rebar to be cut. Every second ticked by! The first violent motion would bring a surge of heavy bleeding! So very carefully! At 9:50 a.m.! The steel rebar behind the patient was sessfully cut! Chen Cang looked at the nearly one-and-a-half-meter-long rebar stick protruding from the neck. There was no way to perform a CT in this condition.
    It had to be cut! With this thought, the firefighters began their work once more! Chen Cang tightly gripped the rebar with both hands, fearing that cutting it would damage the blood vessels in the patient¡¯s neck! The neck was far more dangerous than the lungs! So they had to be extremely careful. Feeling the intense vibrations, Chen Cang wanted to stabilize them a bit. At ten o¡¯clock, the sun was already scorching hot. And there under the big sun, Chen Cang with his bare arms, let the sweat drip down. The anxious, tense work was already exhausting and mentally draining. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford to cken even a little bit! He had been in the scorching sun for nearly an hour. Yet Chen Cang seemed to feel nothing at all. Finally!
    With a crisp sound, under the close supervision of the medical staff, the firefighters made two cuts to the rebar. At this moment! The time was locked in at 10:03 AM. With Old Yang¡¯s help, the patient was sessfully transferred onto the gurney and into the ambnce! By this time, due to a significant blood loss, the patient was starting to turn pale, and even though he hadn¡¯t lost consciousness, the color of his lips was also showing changes! The patient¡¯s condition was not looking good! This was only the simplest part. The real danger was slowly baring its bloody maw, ready to devour this resilient soul! Bleeding was no longer the greatest danger! Such a prating injury could cause tension pneumothorax, even leading to hypoxia, and the heart could be facing the danger of sudden stoppage at any time. No one dared to rx even for a moment!
    The numbers on the cardiac monitor were like a death knell. The beeping sound began. Chen Cang felt his own breathing be somewhatbored. The long exposure to the sun, coupled with profuse sweating, meant that Chen Cang wasn¡¯t in the best shape. On the monitor, the patient¡¯s blood pressure: 90/50mmHg, heart rate began to slow, breathing as well, and the blood oxygen saturation was less than 85. All the medical staff in the vehicle remained silent. Time: 10:10 AM. The ambnce stopped at the emergency room entrance of the Second Provincial Hospital. The patient was quickly wheeled into the emergency room. And at this moment, the man, resolute and strong, who had not uttered a sound from the beginning, like a mountain, went into hypovolemic shock! The color of his lips had already started to turn purple! Chen Cang quickly began emergency resuscitation treatment on the patient! Chen Cang hurriedly called for fluid replenishment, a vasopressor! Check the blood rapidly! Prepare for a blood transfusion. ¡­ Everything had to be done quickly. At this time, apetent colleague was particrly important! And just as Chen Cang was frantically resuscitating, Jing Ran quickly took on this responsibility. ¡°Chest drain! Get me a thoracic drainage tube!¡± Hearing Jing Ran¡¯s urgent voice, the nurse hastened to prepare. Jing Ran, a postdoctoral fellow in thoracic surgery, performed a smooth closed thoracic drainage tube cement. At this moment, closed thoracic drainage couldpletely alleviate her hypoxia caused by the tension pneumothorax, even reducing the risk of cardiac arrest. No one was idle! The resuscitation was proceeding in an orderly manner. Time: 10:35 AM. The patient¡¯s blood pressure began to rise, and gradually, the vital signs finally started to stabilize. Full green channel through the Second Provincial Hospital emergency room! Examinations proceeded rapidly! Chest X-rays! Chest CT ¡­ Wait, all kinds of examinations werepleted within ten minutes! The examination results showed: the patient had a prating chest injury, tension pneumothorax, severe esophageal damage! Time: 10:50 AM! In just a few minutes, all the preoperative preparations were ready! The patient was finally wheeled into the operating room! The emergency surgery was about to begin. ps: Today will be limited to five updates. By the way, at the request of the group leader, this book¡¯s v-group (fan value of 2000) and helmsman group (fan value of 10000) have been opened; those with the required fan values can private message the group leader and the admins to be added. General group number 606913206! Chapter 280: 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, andboratory science! What they¡¯re about to face is a battle that couldst 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, andboratory doctors need someone with amanding 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 ess!¡± 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 minutester! ¡°Intubation sessful, venous ess established.¡± Chen Cang nodded, then said sternly, ¡°Prepare the extracorporeal cirction.¡±
    ¡°The extracorporeal cirction machine is ready.¡± Chen Cang continued to arrange the next steps methodically! ¡°Prepare sma!¡± ¡°sma urgently dispatched and in ce.¡±
    ¡°Artificial blood vessels transported in ce.¡± ¡­¡­ 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 n 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; whaty ahead could be the most severe resuscitation task he had ever faced! A rescue team centered around him, ready to execute anymand 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 certainmanding 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 shadowlessmp, 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 cirction noise from the heart-lung machine rose and fell incessantly, even the tense breathing of those around was pervasive. 1 minute and 21 secondster, Chen Cang turned to look at Jing Ran, Wang Qian, Zhang Xueliang. He began to exin the situation word by word, outlining his nned approach,municating 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! ording to Chen Cang¡¯s n, 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om But¡­ this position was really exhausting! How long could Chen Cangst? This surgery was definitely a grueling battle, sure tost a long time. Chen Cang¡¯s choice of incision site made Jing Ran feel awkward standing in any position, all ufortable, 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: 282: Gotta Admit It! Chapter 281: Chapter 282: Gotta Admit It! ¡°` Time: 11:30 AM! The injured list includes a ¡°fractured right sternovicr joint,¡± ¡°broken vicle,¡± ¡°second rib fracture¡± ¡­ several bone fractures inside the thoracic cavity! Next is the vascr damage! Still actively bleeding at this point. The ¡°damaged subvian vein,¡± ¡°torn right brachiocephalic vein entering the superior vena cava,¡± ¡°aortic root tear¡±!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Three serious instances of vascr 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, thergest 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 prates deeper, the lung injuries be 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 haveminuted 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. Explorationpleted, 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 sma!¡± The nurse nodded, starting the transfusion of the repeatedly cross-checked sma. Everyone was busily fulfilling their duties, organized under Chen Cang¡¯smand. 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 pirs of the province¡¯s second hospital¡¯s surgery department had all arrived! The crowd cast sidelong nces. 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, ncing at Tao Zi and Li Jianwei. Seeing that they maintained theirposure 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 waspletely 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 apuding 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 vascr suturing. Jing Ran was a little worried, he opened his mouth wanting to speak, but after ncing 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? Vascr 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 wasplete, 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-thirdplete! The work that followed was even more critical¡­ Could Chen Cang keep going? ¡°` Chapter 282: 283: The Life Was Saved! Chapter 282: Chapter 283: The Life Was Saved! The artificial blood vessel recement waspleted, 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,e and deal with the lung contusionceration!¡± 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 sessfully 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 rxed. 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 contusioncerations was limited; he could at best offer some help. And Jing Ran was a professional. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t overreach; orderly division ofbor was the precondition for a sessful surgery! At this point, the cumtive amount of sma 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 sess 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 cumtive amount of sma 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 sessfully repaired. Chen Cang looked at the patient¡¯s vital signs.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
    Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief! ¡°Life saved!¡± Four words, exhausting all his strength. When everyone around heard this sentence, they too finally rxed. 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 sess was so captivating! Touching to the core! Tears of excitement, uncontrobly 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 vascr 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 rx 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 quicklying to his aid. ¡°Dr. Jing, are you okay?¡± Jing Ran smiled awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine! Just lost my bnce 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 fullymitted 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, andplexity¡± came to a smooth end. This surgery involved high-level cardiovascr technology, thoracic surgery techniques for the hilum and bronchus repair, as well asplexprehensive 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, apuse 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: 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 sessful, 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 inly 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 greatestmitment. 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 exin, diabetes cannot exin, even themon cold cannot exin, let alone life? Life is not just the orderly operation of organs. It is also the lifelongpanionship 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 exhrating!
    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 particr person, always taking care of his precious hair, but now, due to sweating, his hair was aplete 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 nce, ¡°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 outughing, ¡°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 apany 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°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 Luoughed, ¡°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 augh, ¡°Haha, we are having dinner, and the restaurant has roasted wholemb, 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 tough awkwardly. Chen Cang smiled, not feeling embarrassed because his parents didn¡¯t know the etiquette, nor did he mock or me 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 foundughable. 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 apany 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 identally 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: 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! Congrattions, the rescue was sessful, suturing the ¡®Damaged Esophagus Monster¡¯, ¡®Damaged Vascr Monster¡¯, ¡®Damaged Trachea Monster¡¯, reward calction: 1. Pericardial surgery skill pack; 2. Perfect ECG interpretation.¡± A sh 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 bezy, 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 waspletely 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 dors, 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 fewmon 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 patienting 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 thingse in pairs.
    ¡°Ding! For actively organizing rescue efforts and sessfully saving the life of a critical patient, you have passed the medical ethics andpassion 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 Vi, soaking in the hot spring and eating themb leg his mother acquired, Chen Cang wondered what could be happier than this moment? That evening, due to the National Day celebration, Yueyang Vi 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 regr ones?¡± The waiter smiled slightly, ¡°Hello, this is a first-ss pass, we don¡¯t issue many of these.¡± It was then that Chen Cang came to his senses!
    A first-ss pass to Yueyang Vi, what kind of pharmaceuticalpany 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 roastedmbs 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 ufortable 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 somethinges 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 finallying 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 sses 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 Inte users: ¡°How to Please a Wealthy Lady,¡± ¡°A Guide to Conquering Rich Ladies¡±¡­ Chapter 285: 286: Perfect Level!

Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Director An¡¯s Breakthrough! On Monday morning during the shift handover, Li Baoshan brought some news.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°I have good news for everyone; our Emergency Department¡¯s talent recruitment n has beenpleted. 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 timees, 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 ofpleting 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 wouldplete 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 impable 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,cking a kind of creativity. This might be rted 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. Simrly, 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 thest 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 sh 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 ovee. 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 methody right here! An Yanjun also instantly recognized his shorings, and in a sh of realization, he understood that in learning Tendon Suture Surgery, he had been confined to a dogmatic box,cking 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 urred to An Yanjun. If Chen Cang could understand his shorings and assist in his breakthrough¡­ did that mean he waspletely 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 vascr 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, sessfully earning +3 Skill Points!] Now with 20 skill points in hand, Chen Cang possessed the ability to handle even the mostplex 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 phnx that also required stabilization. Afterpleting 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 asion. ¡°`
    Chapter 287: 288: Redeeming Honor Chapter 287: Chapter 288: Redeeming Honor ¡°` Tan Zhonglin has been in particrly good spiritstely! 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 bes! 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 goodtely too.¡± A chill went through both their hearts! Had they been eating too many pig trotters recently? Was it an excessive cogen boost? But this was their secret weapon, to be used for showing offter, 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 Yuepletely 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 apanied by a fractured phnx. A phnx fixation was required. Didn¡¯t Chen say he didn¡¯t know how to do this kind of surgery? With this thought, Tan nced questioningly at An Yanjun, who also shook his head, equally puzzled. Chen had said he didn¡¯t know phngeal surgeryst time, yet now he was doing it with Qin Yue? With their curiosity piqued, they watched silently,pletely engrossed in Chen¡¯s surgery. The technique for a phngeal fracture is extremely important because there are nerves, blood vessels, and tendons around the phnges. Poor handling can easily damage the inherent nerves and blood vessels as well as the tendons. Such damage is very detrimental to recovery. Particrly 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 phngeal 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 ps 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 disying 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 evenpare 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 nce, 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 urately 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 urately 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 juste 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 wasplete! Chen Cang stretchedzily, 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 Zhonglinughed 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 surgeryst 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 resemnce 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 destion 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: 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 eggnts. 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 nced at An Yanjun. He soon came to a realization. Right! Whypare himself with Chen Cang?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 apprenticepare with his master? Wasn¡¯t that just asking for trouble? Besides, that finger bone fracture operation was amon 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 thest 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 andposed 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 ufortable! 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 ofpleting 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-exnatory, 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 bypleting 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 mostmonly used skills in clinical practice, and sinceing 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 quitemendable, 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 particr 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 ce, your skill will tend to be perfect. At this moment, Chen Cang¡¯s thoracic puncture was a result of abination 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 advancementpared 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 kidsparing 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: 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 oncepeted 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 hisst 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 ce one could just enter at will. If it weren¡¯t for Tan Zhonglin oftening 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 afortable 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 ss?¡± Although Chen Cang didn¡¯t attend, ording to the schedule, he supposedly had ss. 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 thispromise.
    ¡°Yes, but Director Meng, I will try toe here as often as I can.¡± Meng Xi seemed contemtive, 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 toe 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,e 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 shoulde 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 arger size tomorrow! ¡°Chen Cang,e 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 ced 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,ing and going in waves! Even breathing is a bit difficult.¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn ¡°It shoots to the front and back of my chest, and my shoulders are also ufortable.¡± 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: 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 aputer keyboard from his college days ying League of Legends! Essentially, as soon as you set up the position, you can tell at a nce where to attach the leads, regardless of whether you¡¯re wearing clothes or not. One of the mostmon 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 patientes in with chest pain, your mind should immediately go through all possible causes of chest pain. Then, through your experience, exams,b 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 rtionship 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,plexion, 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 juste 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!
    Secondster, Chen Cangbined the patient¡¯s conditions and age among other factors, and contemted 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 simr 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 lusion ECGs, found that 30 patients did not show typical ST-segment elevation. After their research, they identified several special ECG waveforms andter published their findings in the New Ennd Journal of Medicine. This is the so-called de Winter syndrome! However, since this syndrome is rtively 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 topare it. The more Meng Xi looked, the more rmed 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,plete the relevant tests, get ready to sign off¡­ as quickly as possible¡­¡± If it was confirmed, then timely coronary intervention to open the luded 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 newplete left bundle branch block. Although de Winter syndrome is aplete or subplete lusion 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 ¡°offbel¡± 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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, hastilymencing the treatment of the patient without dying by even a minute. By eleven o¡¯clock, the patient¡¯s surgery was finallyplete. 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 295: 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, butpared 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 ites 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 ss taught by a good-looking and popr 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 inly, 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 bes apparent at this point. Out of ten people, there are seven girls and three guys. So, it¡¯s rtively 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 hade the day before were taken aback: ¡°No way! Chen Cang is my ssmate; 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, wee 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 ites to exining 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 nned to be 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 morefortable and rxed.
    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. Withoutparison, there¡¯s no awareness of the disparity. Sometimes, the level of a clinician can be seen through their exnations¡ªsome are insightful, while others are just dry and nd. 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 exining. 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 intoughter. Shi Qi also smiled and said, ¡°Because extracting too much fluid too quickly can cause re-expansion pulmonary edema, so rtively 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 arge 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 arge 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 alsorger 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 ordingly.¡± The girl¡¯s voice was not loud, but it quieted the room. Her words were crystal clear, inly exining 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 exnation. 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 ssmates beside her, ¡°Ask them, they know too!¡± Several ssmates 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: 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 hadpeted 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 couldpare 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 rtionship since they often consulted each other, especially when a patient didn¡¯tctate 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 thete 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 toe down for a consultation and have a look!¡± Shi Qi was startled, spontaneous chylothorax? ¡°I¡­ I¡¯lle 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 hime 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 toe 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 seeded 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 umtion 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 inducebor, or go to arge 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 arge umtion 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 amanding presence in a stout elderlydy! 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 exin.¡± ¡°Now, about 250 milliliters of viscous pleural effusion has umted in the fetal thoracic cavity. This effusion is producing strong pressure that haspressed 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 bing increasingly unclear. I am afraid that it won¡¯t be long before heart failure urs; 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 umtion 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 ofbor. 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¡¯sments. Honestly, this makes me happy. But¡­tely, because of frequentte nights, especiallyst night when I wrote until 3 a.m., I woke up this morning feeling very panicked and my back was somewhat ufortable. 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 upte 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 upte in the future! Absolutely no staying upte! 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: 298: Its Chen Cang Again! Chapter 297: Chapter 298: It¡¯s Chen Cang Again! Yang Siqi went nk 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 keptforting his wife, but as he spoke, he started to choke up himself. ¡­ ¡­ Chylothorax used to be considered a difficult andplicated 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 seque. 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 Qie 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 haspacted the lung tissue to a very small size, preventing alver development, and has disced 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 thepressed 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 bbergasted! 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 rtivelymon 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 ughter¡¯ ¡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 inurate, it could potentially harm the fetus¡¯s tiny heart and lungs, or even¡­ lead directly to the death of the fetus. How could Zhang Jinfenge 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 n. How could this madwomane 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 n 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 n¡­ is too risky!¡± ¡°This method ispletely impossible!¡± Shi Qi firmly denied, after all, in his many years of practice, he had never heard of such a treatment n. 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 rtively still, and with urate 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 nced 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 n was really risky, and ordinary people wouldn¡¯t even think about it, but Zhang Jinfeng hade up with it. Cheng Xin, nervous, spoke the truth, ¡°This was taught by Teacher Chen in the thoracentesis ss 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;st 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 usible 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 294 - 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 theputer. He saw Fu Zhihuie in and ce 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 voluntarybor, 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, ssmates began to walk in, and they were surprised to see Chen Cang! After all, everyone was in the same ss and often saw each other at ss 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 intoughter, ¡°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 tooughed, ¡°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¡¯te yet, how can we start?¡± Chen Cang smiled, opened the PowerPoint on theputer, 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 intoughter. 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 exined in great detail, and since they were peers, everyone was more active and open, resulting in numerous questions. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Moreover, Chen Cang¡¯s exnations 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 amon clinical procedure because it is not particrly 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 bes much easier. As for the operative steps¡ªthings like disinfection,ying out the sterile drapes¡­ All punctures are fundamentally simr; the important aspects are safety precautions and aseptic principles. After the exnation, Chen Cang watched everyone perform the procedure, offered suggestions, and then discussed some of thetest 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 thetest information. Chen Cang exined 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 exnation. That was truly frightening upon reflection! Chen Cang was their ssmate, 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 ss 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! Congrattions 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 contemted 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 arge number of residency trainees, including both Chen Cang¡¯s peers and many from themunity, the training center had to organize a training program that was both efficient and orderly for the neers, 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 amodate everyone¡¯s schedules, thus allowing doctors to continue with their regr 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 epted! 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 particrly 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 cleanb 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: 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, butpared 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 ites 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!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ 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 ss taught by a good-looking and popr 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 inly, 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 bes apparent at this point. Out of ten people, there are seven girls and three guys. So, it¡¯s rtively 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 hade the day before were taken aback: ¡°No way! Chen Cang is my ssmate; 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, wee 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 ites to exining 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 nned to be 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 morefortable and rxed.
    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. Withoutparison, there¡¯s no awareness of the disparity. Sometimes, the level of a clinician can be seen through their exnations¡ªsome are insightful, while others are just dry and nd. 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 exining. 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 intoughter. Shi Qi also smiled and said, ¡°Because extracting too much fluid too quickly can cause re-expansion pulmonary edema, so rtively 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 arge 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 arge 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 alsorger 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 ordingly.¡± The girl¡¯s voice was not loud, but it quieted the room. Her words were crystal clear, inly exining 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 exnation. 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 ssmates beside her, ¡°Ask them, they know too!¡± Several ssmates 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: 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 hadpeted 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 couldpare 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 rtionship since they often consulted each other, especially when a patient didn¡¯tctate 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 thete 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 toe down for a consultation and have a look!¡± Shi Qi was startled, spontaneous chylothorax? ¡°I¡­ I¡¯lle 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 hime 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 toe 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 seeded 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 umtion 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 inducebor, or go to arge 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 arge umtion 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 amanding presence in a stout elderlydy! 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 exin.¡± ¡°Now, about 250 milliliters of viscous pleural effusion has umted in the fetal thoracic cavity. This effusion is producing strong pressure that haspressed 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 bing increasingly unclear. I am afraid that it won¡¯t be long before heart failure urs; 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 umtion 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 ofbor. 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¡¯sments. Honestly, this makes me happy. But¡­tely, because of frequentte nights, especiallyst night when I wrote until 3 a.m., I woke up this morning feeling very panicked and my back was somewhat ufortable. 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 upte 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 upte in the future! Absolutely no staying upte! 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: 298: Its Chen Cang Again! Chapter 297: Chapter 298: It¡¯s Chen Cang Again! Yang Siqi went nk 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
    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 keptforting his wife, but as he spoke, he started to choke up himself. ¡­ ¡­ Chylothorax used to be considered a difficult andplicated 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 seque. 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 Qie 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 haspacted the lung tissue to a very small size, preventing alver development, and has disced 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 thepressed 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 bbergasted! 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 rtivelymon 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 ughter¡¯ ¡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 inurate, it could potentially harm the fetus¡¯s tiny heart and lungs, or even¡­ lead directly to the death of the fetus. How could Zhang Jinfenge 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 n. How could this madwomane 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 n 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 n¡­ is too risky!¡± ¡°This method ispletely impossible!¡± Shi Qi firmly denied, after all, in his many years of practice, he had never heard of such a treatment n. 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 rtively still, and with urate 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 nced 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 n was really risky, and ordinary people wouldn¡¯t even think about it, but Zhang Jinfeng hade up with it. Cheng Xin, nervous, spoke the truth, ¡°This was taught by Teacher Chen in the thoracentesis ss 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;st 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 usible 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: 299: Thank you, Doctor Jing! Chapter 298: Chapter 299: Thank you, Doctor Jing! Indeed! Shi Qi was feeling quite ufortable. 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 nothingpared to the fear ofparing goods, this pit Shi Qi against Chen Cang forparison.
    The first round had already been aplete 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,e 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 minutester, 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 contemting 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 controbility 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 dy 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 t¡­¡± 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 avable 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 exined 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 n.¡± 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 nced 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 almostughed: 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 rtively 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 thatment! 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 almostughed! Ginger is indeed spicier when it¡¯s old! Cheng Xin was about to leave when Chen Cang suddenly said, ¡°Cheng Xin,e 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 ident urred, it would be difficult for one person to react. Jing Ran quickly started the operation! The whole operation was somewhat simr 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 eximed 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 seeded. With this in mind, both were overwhelmed with joy and cried uncontrobly! 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 simr 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 changedpletely, 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: 300: The Aggrieved Shi Qi Chapter 299: Chapter 300: The Aggrieved Shi Qi Shi Qi stood outside, his emotionsplex, wanting to leave, yet reluctant! He felt that the head of gynecology, Zhang Jinfeng, was destroying his own reputation! Such a treatment n 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 withints! 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 beenpletely 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 ufortable. 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. ¡­N?v(el)B\\jnn ¡­ 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 ess 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 iparable to modern people. To be honest, even Zhang Jinfeng initially had no confidence; though the n 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 n was, it would be of no use. This was a ssic case of a perfectbination 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 ssic 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 n that is rare both domestically and internationally. As Chen Cang¡¯s ssmate, 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 n 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 ssmates. 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 mighte 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 toe all this way.¡± Jing Ran smiled, ¡°Director Zhang is too polite. If I hadn¡¯te, 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 rm, smiling awkwardly, and asked, ¡°Director Zhang, is the puncture done?¡± Zhang Jinfeng didn¡¯t know whether tough 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 sessful. Aren¡¯t you busy with work in your department?¡± Shi Qi was stunned, it had seeded?! 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 pped 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: 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 oftenes 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 thenwork with the leaders, to see if he could be 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 ss 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 ab 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 olddies 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 ced the thermometer under the olddy¡¯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 simr, 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 mostmon 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 inmmation, 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, aplete blood count has many limitations. The results of aplete blood counte back quickly, in less than 20 minutes, and the results were reported. With an increased white blood cell and neutrophil count,bined 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 rmended some antimicrobial medication. Chen Cang exined, ¡°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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chen Cang was stunned as well; how could this be considered killing? Chen Cang found himself in an awkward position and exined, ¡°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 exin, 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 elderlydies 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 Linaughed, ¡°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 bothughing 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: 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 particrly 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 thest 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 ze of gossip fire in Chang Lina¡¯s eyes as she disyed unlimited interest in the man¡¯s buttock wound. Chen Cang red 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 mostmon 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 hadpleted 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. Byparison, 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 eximed 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¡¯te 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 mes of gossip zed 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 werepanions in hardship, right¡­? Just as Chen Cang decided to interrupt the two from continuing their public disy 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 iprehensible whirl of emotion in the couple¡¯s love!
    What the hell is this? Even Chen Cang, who wasn¡¯t particrly 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 ce?¡± 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 withoutint.
    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,pared 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: 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 ce, it¡¯s best not to let your thoughts wander. Take Chen Cang for example, just as hey 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 apany!¡± Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed as he walked outside, saying as he moved, ¡°Call Wang Yong quickly, his second line, and tell him toe here at once, I¡¯m going to take a look.¡± Xiao Lin nodded briskly, ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Cang hurried onto the ambnce, 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 motorbikey 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,rade?¡± ¡­ 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 neen 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 vehicr ident injury could easily involve fractures in the body, particrly 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 streetmp wasn¡¯t very bright, so they simply turned on the shlight 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 shlight. Without dy, Chen Cang said, ¡°Give me the shlight!¡± The young man next to him cooperated and handed over the shlight.
    Chen Cang quickly stooped down for a closer look! Jugr 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 dy! With that thought, Chen Cang fitted the stethoscope and ced 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 heartpression with the typical symptoms of Beck¡¯s triad. It was primarily characterized by elevated venous pressure leading to raised jugr venous pressure and jugr 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 toy 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 cirction 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 therge 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 urs, it causes blood umtion in the pericardial cavity, known as hemopericardium or cardiac tamponade, which is a rapid cause of death from heart trauma. Since the sticity of the pericardium is limited, an acute umtion of blood in the pericardium of 150ml can restrict blood return to the heart and heartbeats, causing acute circtory failure and ultimately leading to cardiac arrest. Imagine, after all, blood umting within the pericardial cavitypressing the heart, preventing it from beating. The heart, in an attempt to continuously supply the body with blood, can only desperately contract and rx, contract and rx¡­ leading to an increased heartbeat rate, but the amount of blood pumped out bes less and less because the pressure from outside the heart creates increasing resistance!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Soon, the heart might abruptly stop beating, causing acute circtory 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: 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.
    Byparison, pericardiocentesis is merely a tier-two puncture operation. Although it¡¯s a bit moreplex 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! Congrattions, 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 pericardiocentesispared 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 shed 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 simte, 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 atst, 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 wasprehensive. It even included the emergency management conditions for pericardial puncture. For instance, pericardial effusion does not always require immediate surgery but has an urate 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 rted 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¡± sess rate to one hundred percent, to provide better and more urate 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 toote, the patient is in a very critical condition now, there is too much fluid umted in the pericardial cavity, seriously affecting blood cirction. 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 ambnce 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 uncontroble hemorrhage due to cardiac rupture? Or would it render the pericardiocentesis ineffective, even elerating 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 issuesy 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 seed, 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 sess 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 prating as he needed to feel every bit of sensation, that empty feeling as it broke through the pericardium.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 bing stable. Chen Cang was instantly excited. It was a sess! The pericardium puncture was sessful. 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 sessful 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 ambnce, 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 ambnce. ¡­ Chapter 304: 305: The Director in Pajamas Chapter 304: Chapter 305: The Director in Pajamas When Chen Cang and Old Liu were descending the stairs, worried aboutplications, two proactive young men also came to help, assisting in carrying the injured person to the ambnce. After some hesitation, they decided not to go to the hospital. The pair had only gone out to use the inte 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 me on them? Then it would all be iprehensible. The reason they had waited until now was because of the concern that the man might haveplications. 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 ambnce, 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 immediatelymence 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 arge volume of blood entering the chest cavity¡­ If that were the case, treatment would be 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 arge 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 aa due to shock, it was necessary to contact his family and fully inform them of the situation, proceeding ording to various protocols. As an emergency doctor, one truly needs more than just surgical abilities. Opening the contact list, Chen Cang saw an entrybeled ¡°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 toe back?!¡± the woman on the other end asked sharply. Chen Cang was taken aback for a moment, thenposed 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 ident 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¡­ Pleasee 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 dy 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 dy 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 ident 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 ambnce 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 ambnce was en route. As the man was wheeled out of the ambnce, all the medical staff in the emergency hall sprang into action like a set ofws being activated, immediately starting a well-organized hustle! Draw blood! Conduct tests!
    Runb 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ¡°p p¡­ p p¡± 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 - 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 rtively 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 exined, ¡°The patient¡¯s examination results haven¡¯te 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, apanied 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¡¯splexion 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 umtion 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 rmend 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 umtion?¡± Even Tao Zi felt surprised upon carefulparison, 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 ssic triad of cardiac tamponade symptoms was very evident. This was my first time encountering a patient disying aplete 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 revtion¡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 avable; 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 dyed, so I did it.¡± The three exchanged nces 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 seed 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 prated, 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 quicklyplete the surgery preparations. Chapter 306 - 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. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ¡°ng¡± 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 ident! 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 me him for drinking, for returning homete, or for liking to y 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 beenpiled. Now they were just waiting for the test results toe 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 exined, ¡°The victim¡¯s condition is now rtively stable. Let me exin the details to you: the victim¡¯s frontal ribs fractured in the car ident, causing damage to the blood vessels within the pericardium, and arge 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 exining, 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¡±es 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 galldder surgery, he performedplicated 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 canplete the task of delivering five updates a day to make the reading more enjoyable for everyone. Chapter 307: 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om [Ding! Congrattions, your blind pericardiocentesis was sessful, drawing a pericardial tamponade monster, level 40, boss level; given the high difficulty andck of system prompts, you will receive: 1. Thoracotomy Hemostasis; 2. a white Skill Book.] Chen Cang was slightly startled. Seeing a sh 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 severeplications 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 transnt 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 transntation, 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 Cange in, they paused for a moment and then exchanged nces. 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 tter 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,e 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 patientying 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 exnation functions enabled.] The surgery began, and Tao Zi took the scalpel, ncing 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 posteriorteral 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 severeceration.
    But one could faintly discern the scene within the pericardium. At this time, Tao Zi started to cut open the pericardium along theceration, 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 umting 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 waspleted, 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 withposure. 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 be 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 everyoneing 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 sess, 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: 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 difort of myocardial ischemia. It was more like¡­ Yes, the kind of pain thates 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 in 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 red at Sun Sheng lying in bed, wanting to me him, but seeing his face, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to utter a word of reproach, and all her grievances andints 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¡¯spany, We¡¯ll walk together till our hair turns white.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 te of pickles at a street breakfast joint. Having eaten at six o¡¯clock the previous evening, by now, 9 a.m., fifteen hourster, 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 veryfortable, 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 Un 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 umbre. Gossip news had pushed a lot of stories. ¡­ But one message in particr caught Chen Cang¡¯s eye. Some staff at Dongyang Province People¡¯s Hospital had notplied with hospital regtions, 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, disyed 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 be quite a sensation, even making it to the Weibo hot search! At this revtion, 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 nced 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 be 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,e 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 Cangughed awkwardly. Zhang Youfu smiled inwardly, it was his intention for Chen to feel embarrassed. That Li Heitan couldn¡¯tpare 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 Youfuughed and said, ¡°What¡¯s there to be polite about? I had some misgivings about you before, today consider this as my way of apologizing, juste 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, sinceter 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-oldobaifen 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 rtionship 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, ced 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 rted toparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, often seeing Yang Tong. No wonder Yang Tong was so warm to him¡­ So that exined it. In many hospitals, it¡¯smon for husbands to be clinical directors or doctors, and wives hold administrative or other functional positions. Contrary to privatepanies which discourage inter-office rtionships. Hospitals, being public institutions, particrly encourage internal rtions! 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: 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 ced 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 alsoughed, ¡°Come in then, Old Zhang is cooking, I¡¯ll go get you a ss 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 suchrge lobsters. They tasted strange, with a very expensive vor¡­ 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 ss, ¡°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 be 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 bing a director of the society?¡± Zhang Youfu thought for a while, ¡°Requirements? There¡¯s nothing special really. Generally, you get nominated bymittee 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 underparoscopy, there should be no problem! When the timees, 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 gettingte 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 be 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 theparoscopic 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 poprize them. The paper on minimally invasive small incisions had already been published. Chen Cang turned on hisputer, decided to write another paper analyzing the minimal incision appendectomy he had summarized some time ago, and nned 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 convenientlyplete 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 ording 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 Haido.¡± Qin Yue didn¡¯t reply. Chen Cang, ¡°Plus a milk tea!¡± Qin Yue: ¡°Make it three.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Chen Cang: ¡°Deal! Shake on it.¡± ps: Damn it¡­ I identally 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: 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 aborious 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 herputer 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 ces 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 ande 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 nced 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 used you of anything, do you have the nerve!¡± The woman¡¯s face turned an iron shade, her eyes zing 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 bing 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 ufortable?¡± The man nced around the office and saw many onlookers outside, and felt somewhat embarrassed. He hesitated and said, ¡°Is there a more private ce? 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 ufortable? 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 rmed. 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,tely I¡¯ve also been feeling an unbearable itch on the inside of my thighs and near my¡­ you know, so ufortable 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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: 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 tough 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 forypeople. 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 amon 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 exined, ¡°Tinea cruris is a skin condition primarily caused by fungal infection, urring 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 exining tinea cruris to the couple, Chen Cang looked at them. The couple, reassured by the exnation, also rxed. 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 ming who first? You even used 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 everined 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 uprehending, but you maligned me, using 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. Howe 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 verymon, 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 aplish 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 ofpassion. ¡­ 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 amon, 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 exined. 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 rmended 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¡­ s, I realized I¡¯m really just a small fry, there are too many big shots, and my mentality almost exploded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Time to adjust promptly, work hard and strive to be a somewhat impressive person myself! Keep it up, old-timer! Chapter 312: 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 andmitted 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 phngeal 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, asionally nodding or providing a briefment. 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 gettingte, 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 minuteter, a nurse walked in, nced 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 popr? 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.¡± ¡°Beforeing 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 urately discern special abnormal ECGs, or even moremon 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 reprization 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 - 314: Chain Quests Chapter 313: Chapter 314: Chain Quests ¡°` As the system notification sounded, Chen Cang eagerly yet discreetly epted 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 nced at it once, just once, and then walked straight over to the patient, ced 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 difort 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 bitbored.¡± After listening, Chen Cang said, ¡°Lie down, I¡¯ll percuss you.¡± The man cooperated andy on the bed while Chen Cang started to percuss, asking if it hurt as he went along. Two minutester, 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 theb results, theplete 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 nce. 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, apanied by fever, chills, chest pain, breathing difficulties, and a clear pericardial friction rub. Theplete 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 ny 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 exnations 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 oue. Surrounded by the group of medical students, one couldn¡¯t help wanting to apud! 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! N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 exins 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 articte 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 wlessly, 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 seed 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, apanied by the ultrasound department doctor pushing a cart inside. ¡°Director Meng, here wee!¡± Wu Peng said hurriedly. The ultrasound doctor, often dealing with the cardiology department and having a good rtionship 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, alreadypressing the lungs and bronchi, causing a certain impact on breathing, and there was somepression 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 - 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 in 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 nced 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 nced 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 aspirationter, 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! n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ofying 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 ce! 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 thest 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 thatpared to the ambnce driver, Old Liu, Doctor Ge was much more professional, withdrawing the liquid slowly and methodically. It wasn¡¯t long before the fluid extraction wasplete. 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 andplete the surgery as soon as possible. After all, the pathological changes of acute pericarditis early on manifest as inmmatory responses in both the visceral and parietalyers of the pericardium, with the presence of a viscous liquidposed of fibrin deposition and polymorphonuclear leukocyte umtion, known as fibrinous or dry pericarditis. The inmmatory 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 ques may remain, or there may be varying degrees of adhesions. If the inmmation spreads to the outer surface of the parietalyer 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 suddenlymented thoughtfully, ¡°Then can you perform a pericardiotomy?¡± [Ding! You havepleted 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 exnations, Chen Cang had acquired the theoretical knowledge for pericardiotomy. But what hecked was practice. And the previous task, toplete 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 rtionship between mentor and prot¨¦g¨¦ was very profound. Meng Xi would certainly focus on nurturing Chen Cang. To put it inly, 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 chapterter. Chapter 315: 316: Scheming BOY! Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Scheming BOY! ¡°Chen Cang,e 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 pneumocal infection that has turned into staphylocus, 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 nonchntly, 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 umtion 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 waspletely 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 amand over theoretical knowledge. Those who excel at this stage can recite theory fluently andprehend 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 dyspneamonly present. Most patients do not experience the typical chest pain, and the urrence of chest pain might indicate an esction 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 dy 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 dy 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 inly, 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 y by the rules of the newbie vige. 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 be increasingly unrestrained. After all, under his relentless boba tea offensive, Qin Yue had already be a proper simp.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 studentse after work to follow the surgeries, ordinary students would certainly have theirints. But Chen Cang understood that he was here to learn skills. If the teacher wasn¡¯tining, what right did he have toin? 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 vascr 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: 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 be 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 ces 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 rx! Chen Cang¡¯s appearance was not an ident, 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 nced 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 surgeryst 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 vascr 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 ce, 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 afterpleting 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 im 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 studentes once in a few decades and is definitely the kind to nurture as a sessor. 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 inmmatory 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 ident, 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: 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 nced 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¡¯ments 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,mon 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 encapsted suppuration.] Because of the purulent fluid, it couldn¡¯t bepletely drained in a short time; a drainage tube needed to be ced 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 be 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 soundedpletely 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, howe 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om He could quickly spot the strengths and weaknesses in an operation. Inparison, 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. Sessfullypleted! [Ding! Performed incision on acute bacterial pericarditis monster, gained: Skill Point +1.] [Current mission,plete five pericardiotomies 1/5.] Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, not bad, finally aplished! 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 isplete, 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!

Don¡¯t forget to follow along with your subscriptions and votes to support! Thank you to all the big-shot readers. ¡°` Chapter 318: 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 butugh with a ¡®pfft¡¯. Ge Huai and Director Xia Gaofeng seemed thoughtful as they nced 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 indeedplicated, 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, andpared 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om So, with Chen Cang¡¯s affirmation, Jing Ran felt he had some security. The particrity 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 ustomed 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? Whye to a thoracic surgery consultation? With that thought, Jing Ran inquired, ¡°Has the pulmonology department seen them?¡± Yang Lin nodded, ¡°She¡¯se, 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 simr to an image in his memory. At this thought, Chen Cang nearlyughed 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 ce. 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 umon; 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 bbergasted! 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 almostughed. 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 nevere 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 toeter. Chapter 319: 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 nce 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 hee 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 waspletely 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 topare it, but after looking for a long time, he finally noticed that the manifestation of severalyersbined seemed¡­ perhaps¡­ possibly¡­ really like a mosquito? This is insane, how did you think of that? Because CT scans are t,yer byyer. 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 pped 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¡­¡± Gesticting, 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 p a smiling face, and with Yang Lin praising him like that, he had to embellish his own achievements too!
    So Chen Cang alsoughed, ¡°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! Howe 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,eee, 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 roompletely 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 minutester, the girl¡¯s condition gradually improved, but herplexion 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.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 exhtion. 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: 321: Watching the Play Chapter 320: Chapter 321: Watching the y 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 exnation of the system.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 sessfullypleting 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 unting 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 nce 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, bing 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,ughing and joking, watching Chen Cang¡¯s surgery with a teasing gaze andmenting, 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 hemented, ¡°Little Chen, not bad, much stronger than thest 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 inted! 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 be 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 neers to torment! Looking at Qian Liang and Xia Gaofeng, the two directors were reallypetitive! 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 neers¡­ 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 twob 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 ident 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 theirb 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 ident 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 Xie 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 theye 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: 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 pir of strength, and he hastily exined, ¡°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 be 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 umted 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 recement, 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 ess!¡± ¡°Fluid resuscitationplete!¡± ¡­ 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 eximed. Apanied 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?
    Apanied by thoracic cavity bleeding. Causing blood to obstruct the airway! If it were thetter, 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 bepleted 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 arge 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 urred. Next, the main focus was on the damaged aortic arch! The suturing had to bepleted 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 simrly, with agees an array of problems brought about by aging. But who to do it? Who should do the suturing? This was a difficult question. ncing 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 suprememand. Chen Cang had no hesitation, his eyes already started forming various red names. There were multiple bleeding points! But thergest 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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¡¯srgest hub of blood cirction, 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: 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 thest line of defense for the patient¡¯s life; where can you retreat to? You are theirst 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 sessive sesses and genuine battles in the operating room!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Why did Xia Gaofeng, in thepetition 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, yetcked confidence,cking 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 be 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 needfort 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 sess, 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 oveing their disease.
    Doctors are truly thest resort for patients! So as doctors, we must carry ourselves with resounding confidence and guard thest 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 trulyplex. 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 ept 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 bepared, 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 physicianst 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. Becausepared 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 be 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 amodating 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 cirction, 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? Apanying 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 timees, 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 323 - 324: I’m Still Not as Good as Teacher Chen! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter) Chapter 323: Chapter 324: I¡¯m Still Not as Good as Teacher Chen! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter) Everyone who saw Chen Cang¡¯s suturing technique and speed was a bit shocked! They even started whispering to each other, inquiring about Chen Cang. ¡°This¡­ Doctor Chen must not be a student, perhaps he¡¯s here for advanced training? Or for an exchange study!¡± ¡°Is that even a question? Have you ever seen a student with such skill? Forget students, how many doctors in our hospital can do this?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, he must be one! And¡­he must at least be an attending doctor!¡± ¡°I guess he¡¯s like Director Meng and Director Jing, someone who hase back from elsewhere, quite a style, huh!¡± ¡°But he looks really young, and he still has so much hair!¡± ¡°Yeah, with such high skills, those suturing techniques and speed, it¡¯s really extraordinary. Such ability can¡¯t be developed in a small ce!¡± To stitch up the aorta quickly and perfectly in just a little over a minute¡­ that ability¡­ Forget students, even those expert geniuses may not be able to do it, right? No wonder Director Xia Gaofeng let him do the suturing! ¡­ Actually¡­ Xia Gaofeng was also startled, a real surprise! No! More urately, it should be said he was ecstatic! How long did this kid take to suture the model in the departmentst time? About two minutes, right? But¡­how long was it this time? Although he didn¡¯t time it himself, it was definitely much faster. Could it be that he pulled his punches during thestpetition? Or is it that Chen Cang never considered Ge Huai as apetitor, nning from the start to hold back¡­ Thinking of this, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s face was full of shock. Who exactly is this young man? Truly terrifying! Given time, how far will he grow? When Ge Huai saw this scene, he was stunned and didn¡¯t utter a word. He found it somewhat unbelievable. He barely dared to believe it was true. Could there really be someone who sutures that fast? A series of doubts pped Ge Huai awake like resounding ps, jolting this confused and immature doctor. However! This time, Ge Huai just smiled faintly, as something called ¡®edge¡¯ slowly began to emerge in him. A doctor in his thirties, in the prime of his life, is during the years when a surgeon improves the fastest; without edge, how can one improve! The former him seemed to have be a bit degenerate, ustomed to the initial work and life, but now it seems he had been too decadent. Thinking this, Ge Huai was filled with passion. He suddenly radiated an unprecedented courage. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling the warmth radiating from within, sensing a hint of something different. ¡­ The surgery continued. But Chen Cang didn¡¯t put down the suture thread, knowing there were still many damaged blood vessels in need of repair, and some injured areas requiring treatment. One after another, he found seven or eight damaged veins and arteries. The onlooking Xia Gaofeng was stunned. Such meticulous exploration for thoracotomy hemostasis. It was astonishing that he could discover so many minute details. This not only demonstrated Chen Cang¡¯s conscientiousness and attention to detail, but from another angle, reflected his familiarity with thoracic vessels and tissues, and his ability to identify such wounds. Without long-term clinical experience and surgical experience, this would be impossible! Could it be that Chen was a thoracic surgeon? Xia Gaofeng inevitably fell into doubt. Meanwhile, Meng Xi also started to observe carefully. Honestly, Chen Cang had been bringing her more and more surprises and more and more hope. At this moment, Meng Xi began to ponder, perhaps she should properly mold this man who was only three years younger than herself! In the future, she should give him more opportunities to take the lead. At this time, the door to the operating room opened, and Jing Ran, the deputy director of thoracic surgery, walked in. Jing Ran currently lived in the staff residence, which was very close. Upon receiving the notification, he dropped his eating utensils and hurried over. Upon entering, the operating room nurse was about to help him into his gown when Jing Ran suddenly looked up and saw a familiar face, startling him for a moment! Chen Cang? Seeing Chen Cang, Jing Ran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves rxed a bit. Looking at the nurse, he shook his head, ¡°No need to dress.¡± The nurse was taken aback. Not get dressed? Why? Jing Ran, watching Chen Cang busily at work, let the unease in his heart settle down. With Chen Cang here, why should he worry? With this thought, Jing Ran, for the first time, took the position of an observer, feeling quite confident in Chen Cang¡¯s surgery. The doctors of the thoracic surgery department, upon seeing Jing Ran, promptly greeted him, ¡°Director Jing.¡± Meng Xi and Xia Gaofeng also nodded in acknowledgment. Talented people are easily respected wherever they go. Jing Ran had not been at the hospital for long, but with his expertise, he had won over these people and earned the title of ¡°Director Jing.¡± Xia Gaofeng favored this young director, but seeing that Jing Ran was not changing clothes, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Director Jing, why aren¡¯t you changing your clothes?¡± Jing Ran smiled slightly, ¡°Director Xia, with Dr. Chen here, why should I change my clothes? That would be superfluous, wouldn¡¯t it?¡± This statement, when heard by different people, was indeed thought-provoking and warranted careful consideration. At that moment, Meng Xi suddenly understood why the pericardial surgery performed by Chen Cang was so well done. Could it be that Chen Cang, like Jing Ran, excelled in cardiac surgery? It must be so! Xia Gaofeng also pondered and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°So Dr. Chen excels in thoracic surgery, no wonder¡­ no wonder¡­¡± Jing Ran was startled, ¡°Dr. Chen is a student of your cardiac surgery, Director Meng, aren¡¯t you? You actually don¡¯t know about Dr. Chen?¡± ¡°Let me tell you this, Dr. Chen¡¯s understanding and capability in thoracic surgery are not below mine, and in some areas, he is even more skillful than I am!¡± As soon as this statement was made, everyone around couldn¡¯t help but inhale a breath of the cool air unique to the operating room, where the temperature was 22 degrees Celsius and the humidity was 30 percent! Chen Cang was incredibly impressive! His thoracic surgery skills were above those of Director Jing? And his capability in suturingrge cardiac vessels surpassed everyone present! This¡­ was too exaggerated, right? Everyone felt like they were in an unrealistic TV drama. ¡­ Chen Cang then started sewing and repairing the damaged trachea. The people around couldn¡¯t help but crowd over and watch closely. Upon seeing this, they nodded slightly; indeed very impressive. To suture a trachea shattered into such a state so tightly, and to minimize the formation of scar tissue by making judicious use of the wound suturing¡­ Impressive indeed! ¡­ Soon, the surgery waspleted! Chen Cang was just about to finish up when Xia Gaofeng suddenly said, ¡°Young Chen, give the young ones a chance to practice, you¡¯ve worked hard enough, take a break.¡± Just as he was about to say he wasn¡¯t tired, Chen Cang was suddenly taken aback! At that moment, the young thoracic surgeon opposite him was blushing as he looked at Chen Cang. Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, finally realizing what was happening. The reason he didn¡¯t let others help was because he didn¡¯t want to trouble anyone. After all, who among those present had less experience than Chen Cang? It wouldn¡¯t be right to give the task to anyone. But right now, the thoracic surgeon was looking at him with the same expression as¡­ they looked at Jing Ran. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Chen Cang nodded towards him and said, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± The young doctor hurriedly nodded: ¡°Not at all, not at all, Teacher Chen! Your exploratory thoracotomy and hemostasis were done superbly! You managed to find even the smallest damaged vessels¡­ and that tracheal repair, truly amazing! I hope to learn from you in the future, Teacher Chen.¡± Chen Cang was startled once again¡ªit¡¯s Teacher Chen¡­ Well, it does sound better than Teacher Cang, at least. But still, it felt odd hearing someone older than himself calling him teacher. Somehow it was¡­ thrilling. Yes! At this thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that Teachers An and Director Tan Zhonglin owed him the title of ¡°mentor!¡± ¡­ ¡­ Meanwhile, in the hand surgery operating room of the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital. Tan Zhonglin was surrounded by doctors from his department. Today, the Provincial People¡¯s Hospital had a special patient, whose condition was quite critical and tendon suturing was extremely difficult. Since Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t get through to Chen Cang on the phone, he had no choice but to perform the surgery himself. Fortunately¡­ it was finally a sess! At this moment, Tan Zhonglin felt even more poignant about the profoundness of Chen Cang¡¯s technique, recognizing how far behind he still was. The doctors around him watched in awe as Tan Zhonglin exhibited his exquisite technique in suturing tendons, and couldn¡¯t help but p their hands and apud. Another ssic case! Director Tan is still going strong in his advanced age! The crowd burst into apuse. The chief of hand surgery from the Second Hospital of Dong University, who hade specifically to observe the surgery, also pped and praised: ¡°Amazing! Truly amazing, Director Tan¡¯s tendon suturing is really superb, a sight to behold. No wonder you were able to treat the big star Xing Yu!¡± Unable to help himself, Tan Zhonglin sighed. Ah¡­ still not up to Teacher Chen¡¯s level, not even half as good. Upon hearing the crowd¡¯s praise, Tan Zhonglin shook his head and sighed, speaking truthfully: ¡°This is something I learned from someone else, and¡­ I¡¯ve only scratched the surface, not even mastered the basics!¡± The chief of hand surgery from the Second Hospital of Dong University instantly became curious: ¡°No wonder, where does such a delicate techniquee from? What is this method?¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Tan Zhonglin thoughtfully replied: ¡°This is the Chen technique.¡± The people around didn¡¯t understand but remembered the name, which sounded impressive. Though it was unheard of, it sounded like the work of a master. In a deep voice, Tan Zhonglin said: ¡°If he were to perform a surgery, he could reduce the time by half, and the most important thing is, I guess there would be a hundred percent certainty of the patient¡¯s full recovery!¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room was shocked! How could that be possible? A hundred percent sess rate for such a surgery was an exaggeration! Even the chief of hand surgery from the Second Hospital of Dong University asked out of curiosity: ¡°Director Tan¡­ who exactly is ¡®he¡¯?¡± Tan Zhonglin shook his head and didn¡¯t speak. Seeing Tan Zhonglin a bit downcast, the senior hand surgeon hurriedly patted Tan Zhonglin on the shoulder: ¡°It¡¯s okay, the new waves of the Yangtze River drive on those before them. A new generation reces the old! Director Tan, you will surpass him sooner orter.¡± That was supposed to beforting, but it nearly brought tears to Tan Zhonglin¡ªbecause, the important part was, he was the one being surpassed, he was the old generation! Thinking of this, Tan Zhonglin couldn¡¯t help but let out a bitterugh, realizing how far behind he was in catching up to Chen Cang. And honestly, I¡¯m so tired of pig trotters! But having bought so many of them, what am I supposed to do when my wifees home? Such a headache! With that thought, Tan Zhonglin turned to everyone and suddenly said with a smile, ¡°My sister-inw isn¡¯t home tonight, so why don¡¯t you alle over to my ce? I¡¯ve got some pig trotters. I¡¯ll stew them for dinner for everyone to try. Come over and have a taste!¡± ¡­ ¡­ [Ding! Chest exploration and hemostasis surgery areplete, suturing blood vessels¡­ trachea¡­ Comprehensive judgment, reward acquired: a purple Skill Book.] Chen Cang was delighted, having acquired a Skill Book, and a purple one at that. What could it be? Chen Cang opened it with great anticipation. [Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained: Hernia Repair Technique, Master Level. Upon activation, you can perform any type of hernia repair surgery of Level 3 or below.] Chen Cang was stunned. Hernia repair technique? What do I need this for? Is there even such surgery in emergency cases? Isn¡¯t this something for general surgery? Looking at the reward he received, Chen Cang was momentarily perplexed. What on earth is going on! However, as a series of prompts came from the system, Chen Cang suddenly froze! [Herniase in many types, including brain herniation, pericardial diaphragmatic hernia, umbilical hernia, lumbar hernia, linea alba hernia, diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal hiatus hernia, incisional hernia, and so on¡­] With so many types of hernias, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but admit his ignorance. Perhaps some people are not very familiar with hernias and might even confuse them with miasma. Miasma is a toxic gas produced by the decay of animals and nts in tropical primeval forests, mainly because nobody effectively deals with the bodies of dead animals, coupled with the high temperatures in the tropics, which create favorable conditions for miasma production. In fact, ¡°miasma¡± is not necessarily ¡°gas¡± but an environment conducive to the breeding of microbes such as smodium, which can easily lead to mria and other infectious diseases. On the other hand, a hernia is not a type of gas; it is when an organ or tissue of the human body leaves its normal position, protruding through congenital or acquired weak spots to the exterior of the body, like an intestinal hernia where the small intestine descends into the pelvic cavity, or pericardial diaphragmatic hernia where the heart falls out of the pericardium¡­ and so on. Essentially, it means that these organs are leaving their confines to ¡°visit the neighbors.¡± So, whether it¡¯s hernia or miasma, neither are gases. It¡¯s just that our ancestors liked the word ¡°qi¡± or ¡°gas,¡± such as in ¡°liver qi,¡± ¡°spleen qi,¡± etc., which are functions. The concept of ¡°qi¡± in traditional Chinese medicine is actually a general term and should not be taken as modern ¡°gas.¡± ¡­ After carefully reading the system prompts, Chen Cang suddenly realized. It seems I¡¯ve obtained a particrly good skill. For Chen Cang, a skill isn¡¯t impressive for its rarity, but practicality is the most important thing. It¡¯s best if it¡¯s something that could be encountered in clinical practice, so when such situations arise with patients, one isn¡¯t helpless. It looks like a very good skill indeed. ps: Regarding the concerns about Chapter 323 that I updated early this morning being considered filler, well, how should I put it? I¡¯m simply trying to portray a vivid and realistic image of a doctor for everyone. Including Wang Yong¡¯s initial jealousy, Ge Huai¡¯s indecision, Xia Gaofeng¡¯s frustration with his students not living up to expectations¡­and so on. In life, we are not Chen Cang; we are ordinary people like Wang Yong and Ge Huai. We have our own ws and shorings. What I want to write about is the growth of a junior doctor and Director Xia Gaofeng¡¯s struggle upon seeing the inner turmoil of his students. Perhaps you don¡¯t enjoy reading about these inner thoughts, so I¡¯ll take note of that in the future. It¡¯s actually simple to push the main narrative. Depicting these characters¡¯ inner thoughts, on the other hand, is quite tiring. When you read, I want you to experience something real, not just breeze through an exhrating plot. Also, regarding the medical cases, each one is real and replicable. I¡¯m not writing science fiction, but rather a story grounded in reality with a ¡°golden finger.¡± I hope to immerse you in the story and gain something from it as you read, and I try to exin diseases inyman¡¯s terms as much as possible. If you¡¯re interested in a particr disease, post it in thements section; I¡¯ll consider incorporating it into the story. In the end, I appreciate everyone¡¯s suggestions. I see all of yourments and take them seriously¡ªit¡¯s really a matter of my own abilities, how to write about the characters¡¯ inner worlds without it feeling like filler. It¡¯s a technical task, and I will continue to learn. I see that many readers are also supporting the author, which truly touches me. Thank you, everyone; I will keep striving, working hard to write this book well. The author may not be the most talented, but I am willing to learn. Those who have read ¡°Top Students Also Cheat¡± might have noticed my progress (cough, self-deprecation might not be good, right?). Finally, today I merged two chapters into one, leaving only one chapter of over four thousand words. Don¡¯t worry, it will always be more than ten thousand words per day, never less. Chapter 324 - 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 sessfully treated. Apuse rang out in the office. But Chen Cang knew the apuse was for everyone, not just for him alone; it was the collective coboration 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 Yueughed, 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 andughing 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 veryfortable. This was a kind of ability. Most of the time, you would feel that sess was no fluke. However, encountering VIPs in the emergency department was too rare; after all, who woulde 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 arger 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 ces 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 d 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 particrly 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.¡± n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 aceration¡ªmaking it virtually imperceptible required significant effort. Considering this, Chen Cang spoke inly, ¡°We should go to the operating room.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone frowned slightly, ¡°Is it that serious?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°The wound is notrge, 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¡¯splexion grew worried, ¡°Okay, okay, however you see fit to proceed, Doctor Chen.¡± Chen Cang hummed in acknowledgment, ¡°Go andplete the formalities, let¡¯s prepare for surgery as soon as possible.¡± Chapter 325: 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 stic surgeons in Dongyang Province, but we couldn¡¯t get in touch with you, so we had toe 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 stic surgery outside the hospital might be 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 juste 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 be 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 p grafting was needed, it did not have to be as severe as in Dou Xin¡¯s case, but just required a simple advancement p closure. Is it difficult? Not very.
    But to leave no scar, that would significantly raise theplexity. 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 grantion 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 bepleted. 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 coboration.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ ¡­ Aftering 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 thisment really showed ack 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 sry 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: 327: Flickering Youth Chapter 326: Chapter 327: Flickering Youth Chen Cang had recently started to make a name for himself in the realm of stic surgery in Anyang City. Ever since the coboration model with Zhixin stic 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 stic 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om This was the second hospital stay for Dou Xin following her surgery. Such extensive burn reconstruction surgeries almost never getpleted in one go. Chen Cang had conducted a secondary repairter on, both of which were very sessful, 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 oue of the surgery. He hoped that the sess of the surgery on her appearance would help dispel the shadows in her heart, sweep away the deep-seated insecurity, and allow her to be 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 butugh. 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 nonchntly. 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 bnce work and rxation, you know?¡± What old Qin cared most about was his dear daughter, and these constantte nights were nearly causing him heartache! He wouldn¡¯t even dare to overwork his precious girl, yet there she was, ving 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 rxed, ¡°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 bing 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 eptable, 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-inw?
    ¡­ ¡­ 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, herrge 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 hade 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 p. 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 wlessly smooth face that had recovered very well, with virtually no discoloration. Chen Cang was really happy, not just with the sess 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, herrge 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, carryingrge and small bags. When they passed by a luxuriously decorated stic surgery clinic, a woman handing out flyers gave them one. Dou Xin flipped through it out of boredom, but at just one nce, she froze in shock! ¡°Million-Yuan stic 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 stic 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. Aplex 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 ced it into the pocket over her heart. Her father, looking at Dou Xin, smiled and asked, ¡°Xin Xin, the ¡®Good Voice¡¯petition 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 tform suddenly updated, leaving mepletely 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 toe tomorrow at noon. Chapter 327: 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 theplex where he lived. Over these twenty-five years, he would set out every morning at 6 a.m., apanied by the same familiar 1-liter thermos. Though his vehicle had been reced 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 mmed 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 aint 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!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡°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 ufortable heaviness in his chest. Very ufortable! 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 ident! 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 theirints 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 be 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 copse 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: 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 rx their vignce! Chen Cang pushed the cart while Qin Yue straddled the narrow vehicle, her arms outstretched,pressing without ever stopping the CPR. And the burly man who hade 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 chestpressions 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 irregr 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 eptable, they had toplete 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 exin, ¡°Professor Zhang, there¡¯s no time. We have toplete 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 wereplex. 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 wasplete the examination. But¡­ there wouldn¡¯t be any problems, right? It¡¯smonly 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? Apany 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 ce 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!¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 cane 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 dy.¡± 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 inte, ¡°You¡¯re noting 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 ss. 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 istion 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: 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 dyed, 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 toprehend 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 urs 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 bing incarcerated (Note: Hernia is pronounced ¡®shan,¡¯ which sounds like shame, and suddenly reminded someone to ask how to read this character). The heart isrge! 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 bes incarcerated by the pericardium, then the blood vessels get mped off! This is a form of physical myocardial infarction! After the heart bes incarcerated, it can lead to venous return obstruction, tachycardia from the pericardium, even hypotension, and also sudden insufficient blood supply to the heart due topression 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 toote and normal heart attack treatments are applied, it may dy 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 rted, 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°` 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 ce 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 minutester, 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 dyed 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 thepression of pericardial filling, apanied 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 urring.] Just like that, Chen Cang returned to reality, and at this time. When he looked again at the incarcerated heart, Chen Cang had already nned 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 hade 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 dy! Chapter 330: 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 ident 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 finallypleted. 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 sessful, 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 regtions 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 idents. 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 ce 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 sess 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, howe I didn¡¯t know Xiao Chen could perform heart surgery? No one in your emergency department can, right? Who did he learn from?¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn 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: 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, contemtively, 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.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 revtion, the atmosphere quieted down immediately. Tao Zi¡¯splexion 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,pared to an outstanding sessor, 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, sses 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 contemtion. 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 be simpler; on the contrary, the more experienced you be, the moreplex 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 quicklypleted. 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 rted to the sess rate of the surgery. After sessfully 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! Simrly, 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 moreplex 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 receivedvish rewards: 1. Level +1; 2. Obtain one pericardial surgery skill; 3. Receive one blueb 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 ispleted, havingpleted 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, andstly, as always, I humbly ask for your monthly votes, thank you~ Chapter 332: 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 buspany havee 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 sessful 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, identally 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.¡± Thisment 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 ¡°ck Coal,¡± sneak in extra study? Had he be toocent? 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 tomunicate with other departments. This was a manifestation of strength. Thinking about this, Wang Xiangjun felt he might have be somewhatcent 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 toe¡­ 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 rity. Chen Cang turned to face a middle-aged woman in her forties, speaking lightly, ¡°The surgery was very sessful, 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 be 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 uncontrobly. ¡°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 buspany arrived, and Chen Cang learned of the cause behind Sun Baomin¡¯s incident through the bus¡¯s surveince 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 copsed 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: 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 upation. 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 buspany 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 buspany¡¯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 apanied 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, contemting 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 me 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 ie, 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 actuallying 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 theb 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 teachere back, he hurriedly scurried over, ¡°Teacher! You¡¯re back? Was the surgery sessful?¡± Tao Zi nced 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 ofparing 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¡­ s! 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¡­plicated. 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 tutge, what should I do? Online and waiting, kind of urgent!¡± Chapter 334: 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,e 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 ss.¡± Upon hearing this, Qian Lin wished he could share everything he knew: ¡°Yeah, yeah, I know him, we¡¯re in the same ss and have a great rtionship!¡±
    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 trantions, the superhuman vascr suturing technique, the sharp diagnostic skills¡­ Tao Zi listened and waspletely 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 vascr 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 simr 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 contemtion, Tao Zi suddenly rxed 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 inted 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
    Just before his shift ended, Chen Cang identally 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 uncontrobly. 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 vignt in case somethinges 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 exnation 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 andughing 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.
    Inparison, 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: 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 theputer, 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 stretchednguidly, 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 n. 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 somete-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, s¡­ 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 dered with nobility, ¡°This is revolutionary friendship between us.¡± Spending over fifty yuan, they got two servings of iron te 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 somethinges up.¡± Chen Cangid 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 misceneous tasks,pleting the handover records that were left behind. Around three or four o¡¯clock, an elderlydy suddenly approached. ¡°Nurse, nurse!¡± ¡°` Lina Chang turned around and saw the old woman standing there, looking somewhat anxious. The elderlydy 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 arge 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 coborate 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 copsed on the ground, his life hanging by a thread!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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, seemedpletely oblivious. At that moment, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t afford to assign me; getting to the resuscitation room to check on the patient¡¯s condition was the priority. The resuscitation room quickly began to prepare. Chapter 336: 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 venttor.¡± 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 defibritor ready!¡± When Chen Cang saw Zhao Jianhai, he nodded at once, ¡°Teacher Zhao, you¡¯re here!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
    Zhao Jianhai nodded, ¡°Hmm!¡± The two of them hurried to organize the rescue. Defibrition! CPR! Bag valve mask oxygenation! After two cycles, Yan Ming finally arrived, yawning and standing on one side, staring dumbfounded at everything. The patienty motionless on the resuscitation bed. Chen Cang was performing external chestpressions by himself. The tracheal tube was in ce, and the venttor 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 chestpressions 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 me 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 thepressions. 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 nce 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 urs, 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 chestpressions 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 toote. 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 morepressions. But he¡¯s only human! After performingpressions 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 momentes, 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 dted, with the loss of light reflex¡­ Almost all signs were pointing to one oue¡­ This was now a corpse. Chen Cang suddenly lost all strength and copsed to the floor. Zhao Jianhai had already stood up and was walking outside tomunicate 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 ept 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 apanying 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, red at Yan Ming, ¡°Dressed in this whiteb 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: 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 bes numb to life. In fact, it¡¯s not life to which we be 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 hourss, 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. Aplex 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 bing more and more limited. Had he be negative?
    Comcent? Or had his heart be 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. Butter, 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 aftering 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 bitterugh. 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 theirments. 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 ns. 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 ack of trust in their own doctors, leading to poor treatment oues, or even causing medical disputes. Thest reason is that it can easily provoke animosity between two doctors. So, this matter is veryplicated. Human hearts are also veryplicated.
    The emergency internal medicine and emergency surgery only coborate 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 exnation. Why hadn¡¯t the medical staff noticed in time? Chang Lina¡¯s exnation 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¡¯spanionship 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 regr observation ward instead of ICU admission, sign the informed consent forms, and thepanionship 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 providepanionship. The surveince 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 theirpanionship 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 ording 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 manyments.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Cang, however, was slightly startled. ¡°` Chapter 338: 339: The Deeply Hidden Mr. Qin 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 t 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 w 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 arrivingte to a resuscitation.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Bingsheng shook his head, ¡°Mhm, these past few years he has indeed been somewhat ck 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 ming 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¡¯te here to reprimand Chen Cang but rather to seize this incident as an opportunity to give him a heads-up! Truth be told,st night¡¯s incident was excusable. After all, it was mainly due to the family members. But! Some things Chen Cang had been doingtely 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 regtions!¡± ¡°Regtions 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¡¯sckluster 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; howe 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 topete 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 toe here, not because the vor was particrly 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 reallycked a good impression of him. Actually, no one bes 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 feltfortable. 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 himpany. 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 rxed 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. s¡­ 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: 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 moreplex 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 ssmates 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 ownwork! 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 rxed 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 amotion 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 themotion. ¡°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 rxed 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 ufortable anywhere now?¡± ¡°` The woman appeared to be in her fifties or sixties, dressed inly, 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 uncontrobly, 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 sessful 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 cirction ischemia! The brain includes both the anterior and posterior circtory systems. Insufficient blood supply, for instance, from the vertebrobasr artery, causing inadequacies in areas like the vestibr nuclei, can lead to a series of ischemic responses. Since the vestibr 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¡­¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ur? 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? Aplex medical mystery indeed¡­ All test indicators were normal, with the only abnormalities being elevated blood lipids and sma 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 urrence of convulsions or seizures! What exactly was the issue? Chapter 340: Case 341: Special Situation! Chapter 340: Case 341: Special Situation! ¡°` Clinical practice is just like this, diseases are numerous andplex, 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 supeputer, constantly filtering, calcting! 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. Hisplexion 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 red 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 fromck of blood and oxygen¡­ I thought, can there be too much oxygen inhtion?¡± ¡°Tian Cong, don¡¯t me 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 med 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 ites 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 urate 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 be 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 intramuscr 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: 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 nced 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 be 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 exnation!
    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 theter stages, like the convulsive ora 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 dyed 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 particrly 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 ept 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 med, 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 be 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 intoughter, ¡°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, nning to visit the First Hospital of Dong University after his shift to unt his skills andplete 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 veryprehensive 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 intoughter, ¡°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 whoes to have his dressing changed by Doctor Qin is quite young and handsome, fair and clean, except for a wound on his face. He oftenes 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 asions! 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 vignt! 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 342: 343: Showing Off in the Emergency Room! Who Doesnt Have Blood on Their Hands? Chapter 342: Chapter 343: Showing Off in the Emergency Room! Who Doesn¡¯t Have Blood on Their Hands? Chen Cang sneakily stood in the corner, stealing a nce at the man inside the treatment room. Suddenly, he was a bit taken aback! Isn¡¯t this the guy? Wasn¡¯t it him who stitched up his face a few days ago? And now he¡¯s here looking for Qin Yue to change his bandages, isn¡¯t this a clear deration of war? Should I stand up and dere my territory? Chen Cang hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly heard a howl of pain. ¡°Hiss hiss¡­¡± ¡°Ouch, ouch, be gentle, it hurts!¡±
    ¡°Ow, I¡­ damn, that hurts¡­¡± Chen Cang suddenly stopped in his tracks, huh, not bad! I can¡¯t be the one to change his bandages. You have to know that my wound cleaning has a special effect. After thinking it over, Chen Cang felt that he couldn¡¯t let this jerk off the hook easily. Next time, let Wang Qian do the bandage change, he has a ¡°steady¡± hand! With that thought, Chen Cang decided to wait a bit to talk to Qin Yue about this matter after the bandage was changed. Just as Chen Cang was content about to leave, he suddenly heard a voiceing from inside! ¡°Qin Yue, do you have time after work?¡± the man asked, grimacing in pain. Qin Yue shook her head, ¡°No.¡± Upon hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, ¡°Do you have a prejudice against me?¡± Qin Yue was taken aback, Do I need to have a prejudice against you? ¡°You¡¯re overthinking it¡­¡± Qin Yue said with an awkward smile. Hearing this, the man stared fixedly at Qin Yue and dered emphatically, ¡°Then why are you so repulsed by me? I can feel it!¡± Qin Yue was almost amused by the man¡¯s narcissistic expression! Go find your little fan girls, isn¡¯t it nicer to drive your sports car around the university town? Showing up at the hospital¡¯s front door to strut around¡­ Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°Zhang Fan, you¡¯re thinking too much. I really have no reason to be repulsed by you.¡± The man suddenly faced Qin Yue squarely, ¡°You said it! It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow, and I heard from my uncle you¡¯re not working overtime. Let¡¯s go to¡­¡±
    The man grew more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. Qin Yue really didn¡¯t want to continue the back-and-forth, and reckoned the scar on his face had been caused by that girl after she saw through his true nature, right? She and Zhang Fan had known each other since they were kids. His father was in the pharmaceutical business, quite wealthy, and had regr dealings with the Second Provincial Hospital, so they frequently visited each other during the holidays. But Zhang Fan wasn¡¯t exactly a good guy; Qin Yue¡¯s friends had long warned her to stay away from him.
    Seeing him talk so animatedly, Qin Yue directly said, ¡°Alright, Zhang Fan, have you forgotten the pain after the wound has healed? What happened, did you break some girl¡¯s heart and end up being scratched like that?¡± When Zhang Fan was asked this, he couldn¡¯t resist saying, ¡°Qin Yue, don¡¯t believe all that nonsense. Those people just want something bad to happen to me. I¡¯m really working hard on my business. Qin Yue, I¡¯ll take you to see mypany tomorrow, New Culture Media¡­¡± Qin Yue hurriedly interjected, ¡°Enough, enough, I need to prepare for an exam, I don¡¯t have time to go see yourpany.¡± Qin Yue was always straightforward and didn¡¯t y games. Hearing Zhang Fan¡¯s words, she knew exactly what was going on, ¡°Also, I¡¯m only interested in someone from the same profession, a medical student, so you can stop daydreaming!¡± After saying that, Qin Yue went to wash her hands, ¡°Moreover, you don¡¯t need to change bandages every day. Besides, my skills are limited. Why don¡¯t you let Doctor Chen change them for you? He performed the surgery on you, why are you looking for me?¡± Chen Cang on the outside listened with sheer delight, as if he had just tasted honey! That¡¯s not quite right! Inurate! To be precise, it was as if Chen Cang, like a hypoglycemic patient who suddenly heard a torrent of sweet nothings, felt his invisible blood sugar skyrocket! So satisfying! Just as Chen Cang was pleased and ready to slip away, he suddenly heard amotion from inside. ¡°Zhang Fan, what are you doing! Let me go!¡± A low voice from Qin Yue came through. Zhang Fan was holding onto Qin Yue¡¯s arm, ¡°Qin Yue, we¡¯ve known each other for so many years, I truly¡­ like you! Really, can¡¯t you just give me a chance, I¡­¡±
    At that moment, Chen Cang¡¯s expression changed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om He rushed in, wishing he could knock Zhang Fan out with a single punch. But upon entering, he found that Zhang Fan had already fallen to the ground, covering his eyes, while Qin Yue was shaking her arm. It seems¡­ that punch had been a bit painful! Qin Yue looked at Zhang Fan with a furious expression, ¡°Zhang Fan, be careful, or I¡¯ll call the police, I¡¯m warning you! I¡¯m not one of those naive girls from your entertainment mediapany that you can trick with your nonsense!¡± ¡°I will call your parents when I get back.¡± Having said that, Qin Yue got up and left. Seeing that Qin Yue was alright, Chen Cang walked out as if nothing happened, pretending he hadn¡¯t seen anything. As long as Qin Yue was fine, that was all that mattered. Truth be told, Chen Cang felt his blood boil when he heard Qin Yue scream. When Qin Yue turned around to leave and suddenly saw Chen Canging in, she felt a surge of happiness, a sense of satisfaction filled her heart. But she wasn¡¯t going to naively pull Chen Cang over like in the TV dramas, iming him as her boyfriend. That would definitely be causing trouble for Chen Cang.
    Thinking this, Qin Yue deliberately red at Chen Cang, ¡°Are you very idle?¡± Chen Cang coughed, ¡°Oh! I came to get some iodine; there¡¯s none left next door!¡± After saying that, Chen Cang casually grabbed a bottle of alcohol and left. Qin Yue sneered, but didn¡¯t call him out. Chen Cang nced at Zhang Fan lying on the ground and felt a sense of satisfaction. Trying to pick up girls all the way to the emergency room! Really asking for trouble. In our ce, who doesn¡¯t have lives in their hands? Tsk tsk tsk. He deserved it¡­ With these thoughts, Chen Cang left feeling very pleased with himself. Especially thinking about what Qin Yue had just said about finding someone in the same profession, which excited Chen Cang even more. An interlude made Chen Cang head directly to Dongda First Hospital after work.
    As he walked, Chen Cang felt increasingly that Qin Yue was a great girl. Principled! Smart! Substantial! emmmm¡­ Most importantly, she had good taste, knowing to find someone in the same profession for a husband. I mean,e on, our hospital can hardly keep up with its own needs, how could we allow it to flow into someone else¡¯s field? Not appropriate! With these thoughts, Chen Cang¡¯s steps became more cheerful. ¡­ ¡­ After arriving at the cardiac surgery department of Dongda First Hospital, he unexpectedly found the office door shut and it seemed they had not yet finished work. Chen Cang, seeing this, simply decided to wait at the door. It seemed to be a discussion of a difficult case inside. Chen Cang also wanted to go in and listen, but entering and interrupting the meeting now seemed impolite. And besides, he wasn¡¯t a doctor from that department, which made it even more awkward. After thinking it over, Chen Cang decided to sit outside and wait. However, when Chen Cang overheard the faint voices from inside, he was stunned! ¡°This is the operating room procedure done by emergency, and I hope everyone takes it as a warning, to shed the arrogance andcency!¡± ¡°When an emergency department doctor can perform surgery on a pericardial diaphragmatic hernia to this extent, what about us? We are the professionals of cardiac surgery¡­¡± Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback! Why did he feel like the case Director Xia Gaofeng was describing sounded familiar, was it about him? Chapter 343: 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 onegging 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 aeback. Could this really be happening? After returning, inspired by a sense of shame, the more Wang Xiangjun thought about it, the more ufortable 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 ssic 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 ufortable 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! Apanying 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 sessfully performing emergency room surgery, this is skill and decisiveness! For an emergency room doctor, these two qualities are extremely important!
    You must have both apassionate heart and professional ethics, as well as decisiveness and ability! Combining all three, one already has what it takes to be 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 aplish 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,petition and role models can truly y a promoting role. Simrly, 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 learningmenced. 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 nce, 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 - 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 shorings! 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 mostplex. 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 bing 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! N?v(el)B\\jnn This surgeon, this master, could very well be 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 rtively slow in development. This type of emergency room surgery is really just a theoretical operation that most people would not dare to perform. Although thetest medical guidelines clearly stipte 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 y 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 ssic 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 disyed 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 simr 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 toe 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 exnations, 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 toe at noon tomorrow. Chapter 345: 346: Everyone Take Your Places Chapter 345: Chapter 346: Everyone Take Your ces 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 ns for surgery.¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 exining, 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 moreplicated than that for a typical case of acute pericarditis; The third and most important point is that we must prevent iplete cleaning, which could lead to chronic adhesion andplications 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 rtively 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 bing 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 rtedplications. The second, and most serious, is the potential for chronic constrictive pericarditis! That bes 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 difficultyy in the operability of theter stages, not in the beginning. Although theter 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 exin 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 wererge, 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 nced 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 notte!¡± 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 mboyant 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 directorsing 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 cartge. At that moment, the internal mammary artery was exposed, and he looked at Ge Huai. ¡°Ligate the artery!¡± Ge Huai nodded, urate 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 cartge 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: 347: Excess Reward Chapter 346: Chapter 347: Excess Reward Xia Gaofeng had Qian Liange 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 invasiveparoscopic 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 ount the subsequent repair; his incisions were not merely cuts, but aprehensive consideration. Therefore, although Chen Cang initially wasn¡¯t very adept at opening the pericardium andcked 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 heter 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 exnation 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 tough outright. Of course, this wasn¡¯t mockery, but rather a good-natured, innocent sense of¡­ amusement. Well, Ge Huai promised that he wasn¡¯tughing 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! wless! 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.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Meng Xi, on the other hand, had their eyes wide with disbelief, this¡­ it must be a coincidence, right? The tissues in acute pericarditis changepared to regr 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 west 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 contemtion. 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 nce, 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¡¯ster 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 bbergasted! 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 simr! The steps of the operation were simr! The voice was simr! ¡­ There were too many simrities. 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 sessfully astonished your teacher Meng Xi, and the task waspleted beyond expectations. You have received an extra reward: 1. Affinity +15; 2. A random low-level skill from Meng Xi.] Chapter 347: 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 exhration! The surgery continued. After carefully cleaning, Chen Cang then sutured the incision and ced 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 sessfully 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 be 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!N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 ny 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 sess 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 exim, ¡°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 likeughing. 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 rified directly, ¡°The video you watched today, have you forgotten? The emergency surgery for a pericardial diaphragmatic herniabined 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: 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 upte 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, buttely, he had been even busier than himself. Chen Cang wondered if the School of Media and Communication could really be that hectic. ¡­
    ¡­ Fu Yn¡¯s career had been progressing smoothly recently. Upon returning to the dance team, everyone noticed her transformation. stic 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 ept 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 themon people. The moment Fu Yn 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 Yn. A bunch of people curiously eyed her new changes, and if it wasn¡¯t for Fu Yn protecting her chest with her hands, they would have already touched her! Everyone was full of curiosity about Fu Yn¡¯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 Yn 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 Yn 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 recoveredpletely and could rejoin the dance team, seeing everyone¡¯s reactions made Fu Yn feel that the one million spent was not a loss at all! Fu Yn 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 mediapany, which cooperated with major entertainmentpanies 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. Thepany has decided to coborate with Xihe Folk Art Troupe to rehearse a dance, aiming to get on this year¡¯s Spring Festival G.¡± As soon as this was said, everyone gasped. After all, thepany prepared for the Spring Festival G every year. But the Spring Festival G never wanted to include them. This year was likely to be the same as usual. As for coborating with a folk art troupe, which year did they not coborate? As if it were so easy to get on the Spring Festival G. The coach pped 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 Yn and was immediately stunned. Her expression shifted as she hurried over and looked at Fu Yn with a somewhat stern tone, ¡°Who allowed you to get this done?¡± She had high expectations for Fu Yn, after all, she was a very talented girl, and also very diligent. But at this moment, after seeing that Fu Yn had gotten breast imnts, she was instantly displeased.
    After all, you¡¯re a dancer, with such intense daily exercise, having breast imnts will definitely have a negative impact. There were numerous examples of this. Seeing the coach criticize her, Fu Yn¡¯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 Yn 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 imnt 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 Yn 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 Yn. 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 nned on focusing on training Fu Yn 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 Yn 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! Apanied 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. Thispletely 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: 350: Installment Payments? Chapter 349: Chapter 350: Installment Payments? It wasn¡¯t long before Fu Yn finished dancing. She nced 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 Yn, 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 particr test of the physical form, it could even affect the visual effect. This was amon issue. The coach had seen it all before and had even seen many people forced to undergo surgery again to remove the imnts, 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 Yn from a distance, the coach saw a nearly wless 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 coborating 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¡­ Yn, you¡¯ll be the lead for now. Next, we¡¯ll start preparing for the dance rehearsal.¡± Upon hearing this, Fu Yn was immediately excited. Lead? That seemed like a good thing. Now she was suddenly looking forward to her team entering the Spring Festival G. 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 Yn. ¡°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 t 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, ¡°Yn, if it¡¯s not too much of an impact, I suggest you could rmend it to everyone.¡± ¡°After all, what we pursue in dance is a unity of effect, which requires overall cooperation, and I think¡­ you couldmunicate and discuss with each other.¡± ¡°Then our chances of being sessfully 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 t bear for too many years, and I just want a change!¡± ¡°Please satisfy our wishes, Lan Lan¡­¡± Hearing everyone say this, Fu Yn finally sighed and began to exin. ¡°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!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 Yn spoke the truth, ¡°One million!¡± ¡°All in all, the total costes to about one million.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people fell silent, staring at Fu Yn, 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 Yn¡­ 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 y, someone quickly made a decision! ¡°Lan, 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 Yn returned to her room, she took out her phone to contact Chen Cang, ¡°Doctor Chen, hello.¡± Chen Cang, surprised to see Fu Yn calling, curiously asked, ¡°Oh! Lan, hello, what¡¯s up?¡±
    Only then did Fu Yn 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 stic surgery hospitals could ept 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 pped 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: 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 aboutck 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 rxed 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 n. 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 ced the phone back down and hurried back to the sofa, lying down promptly! His wife whispered, ¡°She¡¯sing 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. s¡­ 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 entuated 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 eximed, 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 red, 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om What to do, what to do? That¡¯s it! Suddenly, a n 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 toe over¡­ A perfect n! 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 n 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 withplicated 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.

Chapter 352: Chapter 353: My mom said that when I get married, I need to provide a house. Qin Yue¡¯s mother, Ji Ruyun, also worked in the medical system. Initially, she attended the same school as Qin Xiaoyuan and, after graduation, was assigned to the same unit. At that time, the two of them together earned less than a hundred yuan a month, and what¡¯s more, they were so busy they barely had time to take care of their child. To ensure Qin¡¯s better development, Qin Yue¡¯s mother was ready to resign. But as it happened, personnel transfers were more convenient back then than now; it was possible to move between professional and administrative positions! So Ji Ruyun just happened to be seconded to the health department. Moreover, Ji Ruyun¡¯s career development went smoothly, following her former leader, who is now the director of the Dongyang Province Social Security Center, a real power yer. This often led Ji Ruyun to sigh that she had sacrificed herself for the family and ended up bing a leader. Every time she and her husband argued, Ji Ruyun would utter a sentence, and Old Qin would immediately be defeated! ¡°For this family, for your better development, I moved to an administrative position and now I¡¯m a director! I¡¯ve given so much for this family! Do you think it was easy for me?¡±
    This sentence left Old Qin angry but unable to speak; he always felt it wasn¡¯t so much a grievance as a threat¡­ The implication was, ¡°You¡¯d better behave; I¡¯m your boss¡­ Beware, one day I might get upset and inspect the medical insurance in your hospital!¡± No wonder they say the Qin family is impressive now! Qin Xiaoyuan is the director of the Provincial Second Hospital, and his wife Ji Ruyun is the director of the Dongyang Province Social Security Center. This makes them a powerhouse in the medical system in Dongyang. ¡­ ¡­ Ji Ruyun looked curiously downstairs, feeling that something was off, and she turned around to look at Qin Xiaoyuan. With a puzzled and surprised face, ¡°Old Qin! Are you¡­ Are you keeping something from me?¡± Qin Xiaoyuan remained impassive, grunting coldly, ¡°Have I, Qin, served as director all these years for nothing?¡± He then raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, ¡°How could that be? We have no secrets between us.¡± After saying this, he suddenly turned around, ran into the bedroom to put on his clothes and pants, ¡°Right, wife, Yueyue went out on a date. We can¡¯t neglect ourselves either. I¡¯ll go buy groceries. I¡¯ll be cooking at noon!¡± With these words, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly got up and hurried out the door. Just as he descended the stairs, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, ¡°That woman is terrifying!¡± He rushed downstairs, partly to dodge his wife¡¯s probing questions, and partly to see if he could catch up to Yueyue and find out where the two had gone. Unfortunately, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Qin Yue and Chen Cang getting into a taxi and leaving. ¡­ ¡­ Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with surprise, ¡°Wow, you actually have a dress?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve known you for three years, and this is the first time I¡¯ve seen you wear makeup, right?¡±
    ¡°And not bad, you actually look pretty good!¡± Listening to Chen Cang¡¯s infatuated praises, Qin Yue also felt delighted inside. However, she pouted, folded her arms across her chest, and put on an air of disdain. ¡°By the way, you said you had a big deal to bring me in on. What is it?¡± Chen Cang chuckled, ¡°An absolute big deal! The kind worth millions!¡±
    Qin Yue turned to look at Chen Cang with a mysteriously coy expression and couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°To buy a house?¡± Chen Cang was instantly dumbfounded, ¡°How did you know?¡± Qin Yue hadn¡¯t had the chance to scoff at Chen Cang when she heard the cab driver up front chuckling, ¡°Young man, what are you going to Haian New District for if not to buy a property? There are several real estate developments there, and aside from apartments, there¡¯s not much else going on! The surrounding infrastructure hasn¡¯t even been built yet, you can¡¯t possibly be going there to move bricks, right?¡± Chen Cang was taken aback by thement. Even Qin Yue couldn¡¯t help but let out giggles. Haian New District, not far from the Provincial Second Hospital, is a new area constructed after the demolition of urban viges and merger with the old city. nned with the future in mind, it is essible by Subway Line 1, neighbors a forest park, and boasts a beautiful environment among other nice features, with several urban real estate projects ready for sale. Chen Cang came to understand this after a visit. It¡¯s just¡­ he didn¡¯t expect to be exposed by Qin Yue before he could even say it. No challenge at all! Thinking about it, Chen Cang felt a bit disappointed. He had wanted to shock Qin Yue with his willingness to spend a fortune on a property to show her what wealth and generosity looked like! Now it seemed like that hope had been dashed. The taxi uncle was quite chatty, speaking right up, ¡°Young fe, you two are nning to get married and buy a matrimonial home, aren¡¯t you?¡± Chen Cang first thought to deny it, but then a sly smile crossed his mind and, ncing teasingly at Qin Yue, he sighed deeply and said with a look of helplessness, ¡°Yeah, buying a house for marriage. After all, young girls are just too realistic these days, no house, no marriage!¡±
    Qin Yue was momentarily startled, then caught on to Chen Cang¡¯s teasing gaze and immediately realized, this scoundrel¡­ his intention to belittle me is relentless! At that moment, the driver suddenly said, ¡°Oh, young man, you¡¯re wrong there. Such a beautiful girl, she must have a lot of guys chasing her! If I were you, I¡¯d feel so blessed, even if it¡¯s a bit tough. Coming home to such a beautiful wife, how happy that would be! You¡¯d still have to buy a house, really, and besides, whoever you marry, you¡¯d have to buy a house anyway, right?¡± Chen Cang blurted out, ¡°What the heck?¡± Buddy, you¡¯re a guy, can¡¯t you be on my side here? With that thought, Chen Cang sighed regretfully and decided to up the stakes, ¡°The key point is, her mother is also asking for a dowry of 200,000!¡± After saying that, Chen Cang felt it wasn¡¯t enough, so he added more, ¡°And she wants a car starting from 200,000 as well.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really under a lot of pressure!¡± Indeed, as soon as he said this, the driver went silent, casting a meaningful nce at Qin Yue, thinking, ¡®I better not mess with her!¡¯ Qin Yue, looking at Chen Cang, was so annoyed she felt itchy in her teeth. She wished she could pull out a 40-meter long sword and stab Chen Cang 30 times, carefully avoiding vital points each time, causing only minor injuries in the end. Suddenly, Qin Yue said slowly, ¡°My mom said, when I get married I¡¯ll bring a house, a car, and 500,000 for decorating!¡± Suddenly, the driver almost mmed on the brakes! Fuming, he eximed, ¡°Young man, you better hurry up, how supportive your mother-inw is!¡±
    Thus, the chatty cabby began dispensing all sorts of advice to Chen Cang, ranging from pre-marital finances to mother-inw¡¯s inheritance, from kids¡¯ names to future nning¡­ and even how to please the mother-inw.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om It had to be said, cab drivers truly are a versatile profession. The only downside was when Chen Cang got out of the cab, his head was buzzing with all the imposed ideas about being a parasitic son-inw. Chen Cang hurriedly shook his head, scared that he wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. Even though Qin Yue was really beautiful. Even though Qin Xiaoyuan, the future father-inw, was truly reliable. Even though the driver made a lot of sense! But¡­ Why do I feel a bit¡­ weak at the knees? Seeing Qin Yue¡¯s mocking face, Chen Cang stood up straight, ¡®Little Missy, we¡¯ve got a long life ahead, one day I¡¯ll make you kneel and sing Conquest.¡¯ Thinking this, Chen Cang clenched his teeth and red at Qin Yue. Chapter 353: 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 exined 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,yout, and more.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 ufortable, 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 ording 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 exnation, butter on, he stopped. After all, as the salespeople said, ¡°Other than sales agents, no girl would apany 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 toe 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 thedy 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 butugh, ¡°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 ce 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 butugh. An acquaintance! It was the man with the stitches on his face. The man was apanying a fashionably dressed woman, disying 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 nced 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 apany 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 ce; 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 ces, 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 ce, 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 housester.¡± ¡°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: 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 red at Chen Cang, watching helplessly as he walked away with Qin Yue. Furious, Zhang Fan¡¯splexion 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 scornfulugh, ¡°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 quicklyposed 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 internallybusting 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 nk. Allowed her little hands to be pulled away by Chen Cang. Dumbfounded in her heart. Her head was aplete mush.
    My emotions are soplicated¡­ 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 supraventricr tachycardia or ventricr tachycardia. But she was really nervous. She felt her breathing be 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 rtionship 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 upte to get it done. Now being led away by Chen Cang, her heart truly felt excited, happy, warm, and also anxious. Chen Cang felt extremelyfortable. 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 veryforting 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 zing sun. Passersby who saw them all gave sidelong nces: 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: 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 y, 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 calcted 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 goodyout, etc. are all very expensive! Chen Cang has only been working for so long, right? He¡¯s only just been regrized 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 ss, buying a house meant digging into life savings, and the struggle ahead wouldst 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 rtionship wasn¡¯t yet confirmed. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart. Even though they hadn¡¯t made their rtionship 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 rtionship. 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 ept 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,pared to those things, a small home belonging just to the two of them, cozy even if notrge, 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 azy afternoon, brewing a pot of tea, with Chen Cang lying on the sofa, and her lying on top of him, bothzily 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 itsted 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: 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 withughter, herughter 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, cing her right index finger against the t 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 ustomed 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 exhrated, 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 ces, 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 thate 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 salesdy 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 themunity, 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 salesdy¡¯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,yout, 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 ce!¡± 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om She would renovate the ce for them, not epting 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 salesdy¡¯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 salesdy walking in. Clearly, they weren¡¯t the only ones interested in this apartment.
    Situations like this weremon. 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 nced past Chen Cang, ¡°Yueyue, looking at houses? This room is really quite something.¡± After casually ncing around, Zhang Fan asked the salesdy, ¡°How much is this apartment?¡± The salesdy smiled slightly and said in the same tone, ¡°Sir, you have great taste. This is the best apartment in ourplex, 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 ce, andplimented, ¡°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 ted. 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, bing 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: 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 particr 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 iing 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 thest 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 calmerpared 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 nced 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 onpeting 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°You little rascal, you¡¯vee up with a nice n, huh? Not only luring away my daughter but also nning 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 ufortable 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 particrly care about the house, but Zhang Fan has gone too far!¡± Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyunughed 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 andfort 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 iing 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,ughing. 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 asion 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: 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 withoutpetition. It was the same with girlfriends, withoutparison, 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 thatpetition 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 augh, ¡°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 investmentpany, 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 intoughter 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, thest 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn It was a property from his own real estatepany.
    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 directlyter. 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 medicalpany, that should count as a colleague, right? Thinking this, Zhang Fan couldn¡¯t help but want tough. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled, this house it is.¡± The saledy¡¯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 butugh: ¡°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 butugh: ¡°Hmm, congrattions.¡± In public, it made no sense topete with him.
    He didn¡¯t believe Zheng Guotan couldn¡¯t even sort out his own housing situation. At that moment, the saledy¡¯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 saledy 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 saledy 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, justing 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 tough, but felt a bit embarrassed. She looked at Zhang Fan: serves you right for showing off! Chapter 359: 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 diedughing! But she felt too embarrassed tough in front of Zhang Fan! So, she simply pulled Chen Cang towards the exit, and once they got out, Qin Yue burst into an ecstaticugh! ¡°Hahaha¡­ I¡¯m dying, showing off really doesn¡¯t end well!¡± Qin Yueughed 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 theye 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¡¯te home tonight. Better to have a fait apli, 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 n! ¡­ ¡­
    Meanwhile, the movie had reached its conclusion, and the rich male lead finally got together with the female lead after oveing 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 youe over now if it¡¯s convenient for you?¡± Chen Cang was startled! Was he avable? It seemed not very convenient. Why not request a consultation if the diagnosis is unclear? Since when had I, Chen Cang, be 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 nces 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, nced 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 particrly 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 preupied 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 particrly 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 eptable!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ck 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: 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 juste 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 ckish calves resembled those obstructed by blood clots. When there are blood clots in the lower limbs, they can severely affect blood cirction, 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 lookedpletely 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 yed ser 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 ser game, butter, 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 exnation 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 simr¡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 articte exnation almost convinced even Wang Yong, who felt like ayman inparison.
    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 ser tube socks. Pensively, Qin Yue asked, ¡°Did you wear socks this afternoon?¡± ¡°Those tight, legpressing athletic long socks.¡± The man was momentarily stunned, then flustered, ¡°How did you know?¡± He had yed ser that afternoon with high ser 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 ites 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 butugh at himself. He rubbed the soap on his other leg and discovered that it could fade as well, and immediately burst outughing. ¡°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 y ser this afternoon. They¡¯re brand new!¡± ¡°I thought to myself, finally it¡¯s the weekend, why not y ser 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 intoughter. 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 havee 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 amon urrence. So upon seeing it, Qin Yue figured it out right away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 urrences are quitemon 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 aplex 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 patientsing 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 toote when something does happen. So, when ites 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, seekingfort¡­ Chapter 361: 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-inw. For the rest of my life, my love rival is you, my father-inw 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 residentialplex, 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,e 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-inw 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 sped.
    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 ce 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 inte, he quickly grinned: ¡°Are you inviting me up for a ss of water? No need, no need!¡± Qin Yue was so annoyed that she wished she could p Chen Cang to the ground and said irritably, ¡°My dad¡¯s there,e 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 ovee. 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!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 yearster, 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 ufortable. 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 disy of affection is over, and he¡¯s fed on dog food to his heart¡¯s content. Chapter 362: 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 tough. ¡­ The emergency room at seven in the morning was as busy as a marketce. 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, sessfully diagnose 10 patients, and receive a lucky bag.] Chen Cang casually epted 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 dareprehend 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 umted 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 be 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,munication 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 hey down, the difort 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 difort and asked in a hurry, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Old Wu, are you feeling ill?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Wu Yushu touched his chest, hesitating, ¡°I feel a stifling difort 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 red 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 thest. He wanted to rest but couldn¡¯t, the burdens he shouldered hadn¡¯t lightened at all. He would pass by the Second Provincial Hospitalter 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 youthfulplexion, 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 butugh at himself. He realized that with acquaintances, he couldn¡¯t manage a smile, but with strangers, he could talk andugh 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,cked 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 nning to get some medicine and go to work. Chapter 363: 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 ufortable?¡± 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, asionally 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?¡± ¡°asionally, I also have chest pain, and this area is also ufortable!¡± 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 rted 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 erged. What to do? At that moment, Chen Cang had a stroke of insight.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ted. 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 quiteplicated, 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 nning 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 ced 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 inhtion, the Korotkoff sounds would disappear, only to reappear during exhtion! A term shed 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 inhtion and reappears or returns to normal during exhtion. 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 inhtion. This represents a rather dangerous condition, with several possible causes. One could be arge amount of pericardial effusion apanied by cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, or a range of cardiac diseases. Of course, conditions like emphysema and significant pleural effusion can also manifest simrly, 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: 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 formidabley right here. But the most formidable aspect wasn¡¯t just here. It alsoy 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 ipetent? They might even refuse to follow the rmendation 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 inhtion and reappears or returns to normal during exhtion. 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 urrence of pulsus paradoxus is due to an increase in intrapericardial pressure, which limits ventricr diastolic filling. With inhtion, systemic venous return is restricted, reducing the volume of blood the right ventricle pumps into pulmonary cirction. Pulmonary cirction is influenced by respiratory negative pressure, causing pulmonary vessels to dte, 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 ismonly 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 jugr 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 hade 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 umtion in the abdominal cavity, apanied by an erged 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¡¯splexion changed, ¡°What is pericarditis? What does it mean?¡± Chen Cang exined, ¡°Constrictive pericarditis is a disease caused by chronic inmmation 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 cirction disorders.¡± ¡°Your difficulty breathing, chest pain, including abdominal distention, are all directly rted to this!¡± Truth be told, Wu Yushu was quite frightened when he heard this. He could not afford to be ill¡­n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 cardiovascr 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-inmmatory medication?¡± In Wu Yushu¡¯s mind, inmmation should be treated with anti-inmmatory medicine, right? But inmmation of the heart¡­ that made him feel unsure. Having heard Chen Cang¡¯s exnation, 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,plete 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 diseasees, treatment still needs to be carried out. However, the examinations could be done after hospitalization. That way, insurance could cover arge 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 hade 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: 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 nce 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 Cangughed 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, nced 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 ofpetence he disyed 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 aplishment, but a collective expertise! Put inly, 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 epassed 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 hispany. 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, thene back for hospital admission. When I return¡­ should I stille to you?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°You go get ready, and when youe back, I¡¯ll contact the cardiothoracic surgery department for you. You¡¯ll need surgeryter 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 notmon 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 nce at Qin Yue yet again. Qin Yue, feeling embarrassed by Chen Cang¡¯s gaze, couldn¡¯t resist ring 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 Xiann, so Chen Cang simply opened up his attribute panel and started looking at it. [Chen Cang, Level: 29:1200/11600. (ss change achieved) upation 1: Thoracic Surgeon: 12 points. upation 2: Cardiac Surgeon (Hidden upation): 19 points.] Chen Cang was slightly startled, he hadn¡¯t expected his cardiac surgery upation 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 ording to the system prompt, a purple skill +4 points. emmmm¡­ Just twenty-five cardiac surgery skills were needed to break the 100 upation score, and then he could smoothly unlock the third upation. 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 upation 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 rtionship 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 n 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 particr type of rtionship over time.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Cang sighed with relief. He realized he had been overthinking; his and Mentor Meng¡¯s rtionship 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: 366: Diagnosing Solely Based on Physical Signs? Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Diagnosing Solely Based on Physical Signs? ¡°` Chen Cang personallypleted the EKG for Old Master Zheng and picked up the result to examine it. There was some premature ventricr 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 nced 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 urate, 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 agee 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 veryplimentary 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 inly, 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 epassed 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 hispany.
    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, thene 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 theter 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 notmonly 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. ¡­ ¡­ ¡°`N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 ring 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 Xiann, and Chen Cang decided to just open his attribute panel and take a look. [Chen Cang, Level: 29:1200/11600. (Already ss 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 ording 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 nned 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 rtionship 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 n 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 particr type of sentiment grow stronger.] Chen Cang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He found that he had overthought things; his rtionship 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: 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 reallycked concern for his wife ordinarily. Moreover, the stress made Wu Yushumunicate 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 be 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 ssroom. ¡°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¡¯ming 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 cardiovascr surgery, but on second thought, decided to call Tao Zi and exin 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?¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
    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 thenpleting 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 aprehensive 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 patiente 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 ising 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 dy, and the original chapter 366 couldn¡¯t be disyed. I¡¯ve postponed it by a chapter, my apologies! Chapter 368: 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 cardiovascr diseases and valvr heart diseases. This type of chronic pericarditis, which was protracted and not cured, was rtively 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It had to be said that Zhang Wenfu indeed was an experienced doctor, collecting patient informationprehensively, 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 umon 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 bitrge! Then came the physical examination¡­ Until finally, Zhang Wenfu had a moment of rity: 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 toe up here and get aprehensive check-up after being admitted.¡± Tao Zi responded, ¡°Xiao Zhang, give the medical order toplete 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 patientes to you, with only a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope, can you make a judgement? Can you give the patient a rtively urate 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 willugh at us. Without instruments, can you still practice medicine?¡± When Tao Zi reached thest 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: 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 ufortable 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 abilitiespared 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 isplex; 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 sessful. Qin Yue rapport +1.] Indeed, dating can strengthen a rtionship, 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,pletely 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 thedies dance, Qin Yue would asionally 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 aint 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,e and lend me a hand!¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became excited. To be honest, Director Tao had really treated him well; thest 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 augh, ¡°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 dide 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 sses 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 ce 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 simted 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 sess 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. ¡­n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ 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 inadvertentlypleted a task! With this in mind, he didn¡¯t dy in replying to Qin Yue but hurriedly opened the virtual screen¡¯s reward im interface. As he suspected! Chen Cang saw two unimed rewards. One was a daily task, a small lucky bag. And the other was: [Ding! Taskpleted: 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 amonly used thoracic surgery skill. s, he had identally 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 toe sleep. Qin Yue, the yful one, directly responded with a Teddy emoji sticking out its tongue and drooling. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but burst intoughter. If this girlfriend isn¡¯t fun, where else could he find one that is? Yep, my girl is the most fun!
    Chapter 370: 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 ced 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 upte in the morning and often ran out after just drinking a ss 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, ncing at the breakfast on Qin Yue¡¯s desk, thoughtful¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Around ten in the morning, Chen Cang received a call from Tao Zi, ¡°Xiao Chen,e 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 n 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 ssmates, 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 toe 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 ssmate exchanged nces. 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 eggshellstely, 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 ssmate 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 metely. 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 be a scoundrel? You fickle, dead fatty!¡± Qian Lin gave a ring 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 byparison. ¡°Chen, my benefactor, no, Teacher Chen, Uncle Chen, can we discuss a matter?¡± Chen Cang, curious, nced sideways, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qian Lin, looking pitiful and miserable, said, ¡°Could you maybe not perform so outstandingly?¡± ssmate A nodded, agreeing deeply, with a simrly 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 unt 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 toe 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!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 ssmate A, her face changing as she sternly said, ¡°Qian Lin, Xiao Yang, you two are in the same ss as Xiao Chen, right?¡± Qian Lin and ssmate 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 thepany 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¡­¡±
    ssmate 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 identally 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: 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 rtively more rxed. 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 ssmate, 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 irregr, somewhat stiff, with an erged 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 ssmate 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 ssmate also eagerly agreed, ¡°Mm-hmm, lots of them.¡± Chen Cang: ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ A few minutester, Chen Cang had a n in mind. For a surgeon, having a n 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 ¡°bteral 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 particr incision, the goal was clear: to erge the surgical field, taking into ount both sides of the heart. Consequently, forceps had to be prepared in order to better facilitate the next steps.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 butugh. Having such an assistant made the surgery all the morefortable. 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 exhrated, as if he was watching an episode of ¡°Let¡¯s & Go!!¡± Fast! Fast! Fast! Charge! Charge! Charge! The surgery brothers in action¡­ Because the coboration 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 ces 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 disy 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 ¡°bteral 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 andplete 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 urately assess the pericardium without surgery¡ªa direct approach. However, there were drawbacks. Chen Cang felt that using a ¡°left anterteral thoracic incision + bteral 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 shed 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 be dense and indistinct! This indicated that there were significant adhesions between the visceral and parietalyers of the pericardium. Director Tao immediately felt a surge of relief, grateful for having chosen this particr incision! Otherwise, it would have been troublesome¡­ At this time, Chen Cang had already passed over the scalpel de. 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 remainedposed 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 hadfortably 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 ssmate 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: 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om For from Director Tao¡¯s gaze, Qian Lin sensed pity, constion, 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 finallye? 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 havepany!
    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 andparison. 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 sessful. 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 nced 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 waspletely 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 shorings. But at Tao Zi¡¯s level, how many people could pinpoint his shorings? 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 ce! 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 ovee this shoring. With this thought, Tao Zi was eager and turned to say, ¡°Xiao Chen,e to my officeter, 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 ording 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¡¯sst 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: 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 ssmate 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?N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 toe here to tter 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-inw 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 bteral 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 y a significant role in the patient¡¯s recovery and in reducing seque!¡±
    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 ttery 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 shorings. ¡°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 ttery?! Chen Cang: ¡°Are you¡­ serious?¡± Tao Zi pped 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 Anterteral Thoracotomy + Bteral 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 ws, 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 asforting as ttery, they were solid and extremely beneficial to him. At his level, a little guidance went a long way. Years of umted 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 copsing. 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 interventricr 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,plete 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 copse!¡± 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 ce. ¡®Before that, kid, you¡¯re not wee.¡¯ Watching Chen Cang walk away, Tao Zi finally let out a breath of relief. So exhausting! Chapter 374: 374: System, How Have You Become So Benevolent? Chapter 374: Chapter 374: System, How Have You Be 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 havingpleted the surgery, Chen Cangcked 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Eight beds, fulfilling the fantasy of residency for every resident doctor! After eating, Chen Cang immediately felt sleepy andy 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 youy 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 inte 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 hase. 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 quitemon 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 ns. 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 nce 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, howe 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 ck 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, ¡°upational 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 ufortable 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 ept?] 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 ufortable. Chen Cang casually chose to ept the task; it would be foolish not to ept 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 shlight. 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 andforted 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,prehensive 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 ept 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 casesing from the emergency room; they generally have to be epted. Moreover, Chen Cang now had a good rtionship with Director Xiao He and often made appearances in the endoscopy room. So, Chen Cang had some connections here. The man quicklypleted 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 moreplete picture!¡± Having said this, Lu Xiaojun took a few photos, then withdrew the endoscope probe. ¡°Do one as quickly as possible!¡± Chapter 375: 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 intricatework 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 exined, ¡°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 prated 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 prate 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¡¯splexion instantly changed. He looked at Chen Cang and Lu Xiaojun¡¯s serious faces, realizing they were clearly not joking.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°What¡¯s the thoracic aorta?¡± the man asked, still somewhat unwilling to ept 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 thergest 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 dyed! 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¡¯splete 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 oue might be! They could only wait for the results of the tests. Indeed, just a few minutester, 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 yete out! The radiologist, pointing at the screen of theputer 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 prated the thoracic aorta!¡± Chen Cang¡¯s skill in interpreting chest imaging was perfect!
    He could clearly see and understand itpletely! ¡°Next level, I¡¯ll take a look!¡± After looking through severalyers 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 de, 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 escte, 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, exined 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 arge 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 ny percent of the cases are real, as is the scientific knowledge, including many lifemon 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 theter 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: 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 hade 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, cardiovascr surgery, general surgery, otryngology, 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 arge-scale consultation. The entirerge 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 aplishments, 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 ns 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 bing 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 oues, and everyone quickly reached a unified n! 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 nned, the director of cardiovascr 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 imnting an arterial stent, there would be no difficulty; with Tao Zi at the helm and the deputy director¡¯s assistance, they swiftly and sessfully imnted the stent!
    This meant that the risk of the surgery had decreased somewhat. The n continued. At this moment, Director Xiao He, the head of the endoscopy room, stepped up to begin manipting 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 bbergasted. 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 spected thoughtfully. And Tao Zi nodded, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s possible. After all, look at this direction!¡±N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 exins 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 prated the esophagus, entered the chest cavity, and possibly even the aorta interior!¡± After an exchange, the situation had once again beplicated. 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 n. With the assistance of the entire expert team, the surgical n 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 ying six generals, each person had their own responsibilities! Just like Director Tao¡¯s immediate imntation of a stent protected the aorta. Chen Cang epted themand 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 377: 377: The Question of Dozens of Blocks and Over a Hundred Thousand! Chapter 377: Chapter 377: The Question of Dozens of Blocks and Over a Hundred Thousand! Tao Zi looked at the solemn-faced Chen Cang and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Chen¡­ can you do it?¡± Chen Cang took a deep breath¡ªat this moment, could he say he couldn¡¯t? Of course he had to be able to! Facing theplex thoracic cavity, he needed to carefully release the adhesions step by step and clear away the secretions. Each step of the work had to be carried out with caution and precision. But! Everyone present understood just how difficult this surgery was going to be! That goes without saying. First of all, the esophageal wall was already damaged and needed to be repaired! Secondly, although the blood vessel walls did not need to be repaired due to the presence of a stent, the eroded external blood vessel membrane certainly required debridement to avoid worsening and spreading tissue damage.
    The human body is just like an apple. If there¡¯s a small rotten spot, and you don¡¯t remove and clean all the surrounding decay, the whole apple will soon be rotten! Therefore, even though the blood vessel didn¡¯t need suturing, debridement was essential. The debridement of the thoracic aorta would need to be undertaken by Tao Zi himself. Suturing? Impossible! With such a defect, once sutured, he would be faced with narrowing of the thoracic aorta¡ªa dam, and if it became narrower, the problems would be much greater. With a stent in ce, there¡¯s no need to worry! But, the most challenging part was! Finding that one fishbone! A fishbone so thin, long, and sharp was definitely an unstable factor inside the thoracic cavity! Looking for it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. The surgery proceeded slowly. The release of adhesions was a task that was both ingenious and demanding of surgical technique. Just like adhesions in the abdominal cavity, dense tissue and organs stuck together by secretions, which, over time, can easily damage the original organs and tissues. And! The tissues, blood vessels, and organs inside the thoracic cavity are even more fragile than those in the abdominal cavity. To put it graphically, they¡¯re like thin-skinned dumplings that are easy to break open! Witnessing this scene, Tao Zi, Li Baoshan, and others also maintained silence. Chen Cang began his meticulous work.
    The adhesion between the esophagus and organs, between the esophagus and blood vessels, between nerves and blood vessels¡­ Chen Cang¡¯s hands were very steady, truly steady, as he carefully dissected little by little. Too much force and he could tear off a piece of the trachea¡ªthat would be a big problem. Everyone was overwhelmed¡ªa tiny fishbone, who could have imagined it could cause such damage to the thoracic cavity. It was utterly unforeseeable!
    No wonder there was chest pain¡ªif it wasn¡¯t the chest, the heart would ache! The adhesions in the thoracic cavity were slowly resolved, step by step. Watching Chen Cang perform the surgery, the surrounding doctors couldn¡¯t help but exim in admiration. Truly, ambition doesn¡¯t wait for one to grow old! At such a young age to have this level of skill is no wonder he has gained the trust and respect of those department heads. This was also why the OR nurses were so enthusiastic toward Chen Cang. Because each of them had a keen eye! OR nurses are known to be very discerning and won¡¯t be polite with the junior doctors at all¡ª if you¡¯re arranged for a surgery and arrivete, you¡¯re definitely in for a scolding! As for helping them into their surgical gowns, that¡¯s a job for the interns! Enjoying the gowning service of an OR nurse is reserved for department head-level people¡ªor for someone at the level of Chen Cang. Having seen the frequent interactions and cooperation between those department heads and Chen Cang, these nurses naturally regarded Chen Cang on the same level as those head physicians, and even if Chen Cang hadn¡¯t yet made a big name for himself, well¡­ wasn¡¯t it just a matter of time? The promotion system in the hospital is extremely strict. You can¡¯t be a chief physician just because you have the level¡ªyou¡¯re held back by the required years of service! But, if your ability surpasses your title, surpasses your position, that¡¯s what truly impressive!
    So, Chen Cang might seem like just a junior doctor, but in any surgical department, who would dare to disrespect Chen Cang? They were all hoping that if something came up on the operating table, they could call Chen Cang for help! ¡­ ¡­ After tidying up the thoracic cavity methodically, it was time to look for the fishbone! To everyone, finding the fishbone was a daunting task. But, to Chen Cang alone! For him, it was as simple as nailing something to a board. Chen Cang almost just had to take one nce to see it. Green ¡°trachea¡±, ¡°Anonymous Artery¡±, ¡°Aorta¡±¡­ Suddenly! A red name appeared before Chen Cang¡¯s eyes! ¡°Fishbone¡±!
    The bright red name was particrly striking, and at this moment, the fishbone had already almostpletely prated the thoracic aorta! Protruding outside were a mere two to three millimeters of the bone¡¯s sharp tip! Even the many seasoned directors, upon seeing this scene, couldn¡¯t help but suck in a breath of cold air! Damn, this is crazy. Even Tao Zimented, ¡°This fishbone really can¡¯t stay put!¡± Indeed, it was a disobedient, ambitious, nefarious fishbone! At this time, the treatment n was very simple; someone needed to mp the fishbone out. But! Who would go? All eyes involuntarily turned to Chen Cang. Because everyone believed in him, this young man had hands steady as an old dog¡¯s, there couldn¡¯t be any problem. Chen Cang saw everyone looking at him with such expectations. He felt a bit of modest pride and slight arrogance.
    It seemed, my little hands, were recognized. Hmm! Nice! With that though, Chen Cang turned: ¡°Vascr forceps!¡± The instrument nurse quickly handed them over. Chen Cang took the vascr forceps with his right hand, held his breath, focused, and carefully pulled the fishbone out. But¡­ It wasn¡¯tpletely removed in one go! How long could it be? Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but feel a jolt of rm. He dared not quicken the pace.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om When the fishbone was finally pulled out! Everyone was stunned. Because the fishbone was a good 4 centimeters long. That was¡­ way too damn terrifying. Even the experienced surgical team, the various directors, especially the endoscopy room¡¯s Director Xiao He and Dr. Lu Xiaojun eximed it was rare. ¡°Is this a stic toothpick or what? It¡¯s so long!¡± Xiao He frowned. Everyone hurriedly took the ¡°weapon¡±, examining it closely! ¡°No, it¡¯s like floss! Look¡­¡± ¡°No, it must be a fishbone!¡± ¡°But how could he swallow such a long fishbone?¡± ¡­ A single fishbone sparked liveliness in the operating room. A group of directors held the fishbone, as joyous as children. On one hand, there was joy! The culprit had been found. On the other hand, there was amazement at how such a long fishbone had made it into the stomach. The subsequent cleanup was jointly conducted by Chen Cang and Director Tao Zi. The operation finished smoothly half an hourter! Looking at the fishbone in hand. Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. A fishbone had caused tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand in damages. This was something no one could have expected. But thankfully, the patient was all right. Otherwise, it would have been a matter of life and death. It might sound exaggerated. But actually¡­ these are the things that happen around us. Some dangers, you just can¡¯t see¡­ Chapter 378: 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, havingin 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 quiterge, 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 houseter, 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¡¯sforting 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 yed out in the cardiac surgery department. Wu Yushu¡¯s surgery was very sessful, and as hey in bed, his wife, Cheng Aimei, in her fifties, ced 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 moneyter, you just focus on recovering!¡± Wu Yushuy 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! Reallyfortable!¡± 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 intoughter 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 pir 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!N?v(el)B\\jnn
    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 copse. 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 be 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 ising 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 itter. 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 ufortable 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 be 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: 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 asionally 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 butment, ¡°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 Cangughed 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 apartmentplex, 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 ising 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 saidzily, ¡°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 vige 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 removalplete, rescue mission aplished, 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 theyout here, was dly epted 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 ce. 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, yetst 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 variousb 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¡¯sb 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¡¯sb report?¡± Chen Cang was engrossed in thetest 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 red at Ge Huai, ¡°How can you be sozy! 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¡¯sment 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 butugh and tease, ¡°Doctor Ge, how can you evenpare with Little Chen!¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 waspletely 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 nce over with a smile in his eyes. At that moment, another nurse came in and, hearing Wang Yan speaking about this,ughed too. ¡°Doctor Ge, give it a rest. Youparing yourself to Little Chen is just the wrong choice! Little Chen is now our cardiac surgery¡¯s second heartthrob!¡± The other doctors startedughing, ¡°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 Xiughing. Chen Cang, feeling awkward, quickly got up with a smile and hurried off to the nurses¡¯ station to print theb report. This office was too dangerous. However, hardly reaching the nurses¡¯ station, a group of nurses seeing Chen Cange over quickly asked. ¡°Doctor Chen, what are you busy with?¡± Chen Cang: ¡°Printing ab report!¡± ¡°Oh, we can take care of that kind of work for you, you take a break!¡± ¡°Whoseb 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: 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 cardiovascr 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, itcked the atmosphere of being there in person. Ge Huai sighed, ¡°s, Director Tao Zi is also a big shot in the cardiovascr 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 cardiovascr 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 regtions, to be 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-inw 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-inw?¡¯ 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 elerated promotion of their professional title! Because there¡¯s no such regtion 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 ted¡­ This feeling was something to be greatly anticipated. Looks like I need to speed up the charm offensive on my father-inw. ¡­ Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but nce 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 busyforting 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 im that Director Tao would also need to ept 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 minutester, 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! ording 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 sessful, 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 bteral 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: 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? Howe 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 nce 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 ¡°bteral 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 eximed, ¡°Damn! What an awesome incision, how did Director Taoe 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, pping 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, nced casually, and muttered, ¡°Director Tao learns pretty fast!¡± But¡­ there were still some ws, something that could still be improved and enhanced! After a nce, 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¡¯tpletely disinterested, asionally ncing over, mainly because he couldn¡¯t focus. After all, Ge Huai kept eximing ¡°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 sincest time. It seems that myst lecture wasn¡¯t wasted. Hmm! Is he teachable?
    Doesn¡¯t seem quite right. But it¡¯s roughly the same idea. It looks like I canmunicate 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 ying distractedly with his phone, Ge Huai couldn¡¯t help but earnestly persuade, ¡°Xiao Chen, stop ying 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! asionally, 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 disy 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 be 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 ying 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ ¡­ However, the subsequent surgerypletely 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! s¡­ 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 trulyfortable! Tao Zi couldn¡¯t help but shake his head; even Director Xia¡¯s assistance was not asfortable 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 384: 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 be a top performer in a daze. Tao Zi¡¯s words had truly shocked Meng Xi! Howe 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 ted. 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 toe 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 ck screen after the surgery ended, naturally blocking out any visibility or audibility of the surroundings. ¡­ ¡­ In the operating room, Tao Zi kept eximing, ¡°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 beingplimented 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¡­ Inparison to Tao Zi, his skills were significantlycking. 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 Cange? 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 sessful 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 ced in the conventional supine position. Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Elevate the scapr area on the back.¡± The male nurse, Xiao Qin, hurriedly nodded, cing 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 girlsck the physical strength that boys have.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 arepletely 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 de 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 de, and began peelingyer byyer. His eyes didn¡¯t show fear, but were filled with excitement! Chapter 383: 383: Im so strong... How come I didnt know? Chapter 383: Chapter 383: I¡¯m so strong¡­ Howe 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 shorings! Tao Zi continued to exin 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 ady, 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 toe 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 butugh! The deputy directors behind him couldn¡¯t help but join in theughter 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 ce in our department. He¡¯s our department¡¯s favorite young man!¡± The directors behind him also chimed in withughter, ¡°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 youngdy 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 bitcking. 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 be 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 cardiovascr surgery, many people had opinions about her. To put it inly, they were unconvinced! After all, cardiovascr 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 bitckluster. 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 cardiovascr surgery not being deputy directors, and several experienced and capable old doctors present, Meng Xi at only 30 years old bing a deputy director certainly stirred up feelings. It was definitely impossible for there to be no hard feelings. So, rumors started to circte, saying ¡°Director Meng is actually only good at research,cking 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 be so impressive? I didn¡¯t even know about it! Chapter 384: 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 be a top performer in a daze. Tao Zi¡¯s words had truly shocked Meng Xi! Howe 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 ted. 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn What the heck? What¡¯s going on? How did Teacher Meng¡¯s favorability increase by 10 points! This kind of shock isn¡¯t easy toe 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 ck screen after the surgery ended, naturally blocking out any visibility or audibility of the surroundings. ¡­ ¡­ In the operating room, Tao Zi kept eximing, ¡°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 beingplimented 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¡­ Inparison to Tao Zi, his skills were significantlycking. 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 Cange? 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 sessful 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 ced in the conventional supine position. Chen Cang said to the nurse, ¡°Elevate the scapr area on the back.¡± The male nurse, Xiao Qin, hurriedly nodded, cing 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 girlsck 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 arepletely 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 de 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 de, and began peelingyer byyer. His eyes didn¡¯t show fear, but were filled with excitement! Chapter 385: 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 ayer 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, thisyer 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 thisyer 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 be quite a task. This kind of cord-like adhesion, being severe and apanied 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 bepletely 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 ns and actions would need to be immediately taken, and the surgery had to bepleted 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 ind p preservation could be done, and forced removal was not rmended. 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 urred, 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 rtive! 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 mp 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?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 thest piece of adhesion. Once peeled, the surgery would be a sess. 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 rmend 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 ind 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: 386: Why Can Only the Hand Be Strengthened? Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Why Can Only the Hand Be Strengthened? Before long, the surgery ended sessfully! 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 andposed, 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 superfluousnguage, all feelings in that moment turned into warm apuse. Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi led the pping, 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 apusested 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. s! 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 red 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 Cardiovascr Surgery Skills Competition!¡± At this revtion, 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 cardiovascr 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 skillpetition always requires a rmendation from one¡¯s unit and membership in the relevant association. For example, this year¡¯s cardiovascr surgery skillpetition 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 cardiovascr 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.¡±n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Tao Zi muttered: ¡°This year thepetition is on major vascr 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 Xipleted, 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 in. At this moment, Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng walked over. ¡°Xiao Chen, not bad! You¡¯re really awesome!¡± Xia Gaofeng eximed 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 thest! As doctors, they hoped for this even more. It¡¯s a baton in the medical ry! 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,e 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! Seeded in defeating constrictive pericarditis boss monster, reward obtained: 1. Arge amount of experience; 2. Agility gemstone (Agile) x1; 3. Needle holder (Blue)] Chen Cang was immediately pleased! Two good things! [Ding! Congrattions, 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 morefortable, 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 singr 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 amonly used clinical instrument with a high frequency of use. Moreover, the needle holder is the only irreceable instrument in clinical practice! What does that mean? No other instrument is rmended clinically to functionally substitute for it, even if the structure of the instrument¡¯s tip is simr 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 vascr 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 387: Super Dungeon (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch desmondsze for the reward!) Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Super Dungeon (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch desmondsze for the reward!) After knocking, Chen Cang entered the director¡¯s office and saw Xia Gaofeng and Tao Zi inside. Chen Cang nodded in greeting and then said, ¡°Director Xia, you wanted to see me.¡± Xia Gaofeng smiled slightly, ¡°Take a seat, Chen. There¡¯s something Tao Zi and I would like to discuss with you and hear your thoughts on.¡± Chen Cang was somewhat curious but still took a seat. Xia Gaofeng handed a document to Chen Cang, ¡°Take a look at this, Chen.¡± Chen Cang received it with both hands and after reading, his eyes widened in shock. The National Cardiovascr Surgery Skills Competition! Chen Cang¡¯s heart began to beat faster. Could he actually participate in thispetition? The National Surgery Skills Competition was held annually, and it often covered multiple disciplines, just held at different times. In May of that year, Chen Lao Da had represented the hospital in the general surgery skillpetition and even brought back an Excellence Award. It had to be said that Chen Lao Da¡¯s general, especially gastrointestinal surgery skills, were quite impressive, handling emergencies such as digestive tract, gastrointestinal, and spleen surgeries very well. However¡­ usually, those who participate in such surgeries are senior attending physicians; someone as young as Chen Cang rarely gets the chance. But¡­ Chen Cang was eager to participate! He longed topete on the same stage with those masters, to see how big the outside world really was. [Ding! Triggered the National Cardiovascr Surgery Skills Competition instance! During the instance, each sessful PK will result in loot or skills!] After hearing the system notification, Chen Cang started to breathe even more rapidly. Not participating in such an instance would be a huge loss for him! With this in mind, Chen Cang looked up at the two directors and quickly asked, ¡°This¡­ Director Xia, Director Tao¡­ can I?¡± Tao Zi smiled slightly, ¡°Why couldn¡¯t you!¡± Chen Cang pointed to the registration requirements, ¡°It says here that a hospital must nominate a member, and it has to be a member of the Cardiac Surgery Society. I meet neither of these conditions¡­ not even one.¡± Chen Cang knew that the hospital had many experienced and senior doctors, a huge group of young doctors, and he¡­ really wasn¡¯t much inparison. Moreover, thepetition would likely not be limited to a single surgery, and in that area, he didn¡¯t have an edge either. After all, the cardiac surgeries he could perform were quite limited, having just opened the door to the pericardium, with a long way still to go! And as for the Cardiac Surgery Society, he wasn¡¯t a member either. Xia Gaofeng said directly, ¡°That¡¯s all easy to arrange. Tao Zi and I happen to be the vice-chairmen of the Dongyang Province Cardiac Surgery Society. If you want to join, isn¡¯t that very straightforward?¡± ¡°Besides, as for the hospital nomination, if your Provincial Second Hospital doesn¡¯t nominate you, our First Hospital of Dongyang will. You belong to both, after all.¡± Upon hearing Xia Gaofeng¡¯s words, Tao Zi immediately frowned, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t our Provincial Second Hospital nominate him? Stop trying to poach. Chen this time is going to represent our Provincial Second Hospital in thepetition.¡± Tao Zi stood up, walked over to Chen Cang, ¡°Chen! You will represent Provincial Second Hospital in thispetition. Although¡­ this is not arge-scale event and not many people pay attention to it, it is still an honor within our circle. Dongyang has been at the bottom for years, it¡¯s time for a change this year, right?¡± n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Cang looked at the two directors, ¡°Hmm! I do want to join! But¡­ I always feel that my level and technique aren¡¯t quite there.¡± Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng looked at Chen Cang with a slight smile, ¡°Take a look at the date. It¡¯s not until the end of the year. We just wanted to inform you in advance and focus on training you.¡± ¡°After you go back, prepare an application to join the society, and we will approve it for you.¡± ¡­ ¡­ After discussing with the two directors, Chen Cang left the office, to be honest, he was a bit excited! Large-scale copy tasks are a rare encounter. Originally, Chen Cang was not confident, after all, there were so many types of cardiovascr surgery, and he¡­ felt a bit insecure. But through the two directors, Chen Cang learned that actually, thispetition¡¯s surgery scope was not very broad, primarily focusing on major vascr surgeries. Chen Cang made up his mind to thoroughly study this area of surgery during this period. After leaving the hospital, Chen Cang was preparing to return when he suddenly received a call from an unknown number. He hesitated for a moment, then answered it. As a doctor, it¡¯smon to have a bunch of strangers¡¯ phone numbers on your mobile since you can¡¯t possibly save all your patients¡¯ numbers in your phone, can you? That¡¯s why many doctors have two mobile phones. One for personal use, and one for work. Moreover, many doctors prefer to use those particrly small ck and white mobile phones for work, which can only make calls and send text messages, simr to those used by the elderly, because of their super long battery life. ¡°Hello, is this Mr. Chen Cang?¡± The caller had a voice around forty years old, a middle-aged male with a clear and rich voice, likely quite healthy ¨C this was the image Chen Cang conjured up as a doctor. Chen Cang hummed in acknowledgment, ¡°Mhm, hello, I am Chen Cang.¡± Wang Zhi quickly said, ¡°Mr. Chen, hello, I am Wang Zhi, the general manager of Zheng Real Estate¡¯s Coastal New District.¡± ¡°Mr. Zheng has asked me to check some information with you to expedite the process of settling the house issue.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Cang recalled that matter. He had called Zheng Guotanst time wanting that house, but he forgot about it this week because of all the other things going on. ¡°Oh! Hello, Manager Wang.¡± Wang Zhi smiled, ¡°Mr. Chen, when will you have time? If it¡¯s convenient, pleasee to our sales office so we can finalize the subsequent procedures for the house¡­¡± Chen Cang checked the time; there wasn¡¯t much to do if he went to the hospital at this hour, so he decided not to go. ¡°I¡¯lle over now, please wait a moment,¡± Chen Cang said directly. Wang Zhi nodded, ¡°Mhm, no rush, call me when you get here.¡± Chen Cang¡¯s face lit up with joy, thinking about having a house soon, and he felt very pleased. Taking advantage of the fact that Qin Yue didn¡¯t know yet, Chen Cang decided to give her a surprise. As for the matter of money¡­ Chen Cang currently had about 3 million on hand, but¡­ the weekend was approaching, and after conducting those few scheduled Long Bear surgeries, it should be enough, right? In a hurry, he went to the Coastal New District, and Wang Zhi¡¯s staff were already waiting at the entrance. The staff directly led Chen Cang into Wang Zhi¡¯s office. Chen Cang had thought it would be quite troublesome, but everything turned out to be straightforward. A specialist was there to exin all the precautions; all Chen Cang had to do was sign. In under twenty minutes, Chen Cang had taken care of everything. But¡­ Chen Cang noticed something ¨C wasn¡¯t he supposed to pay? Why was there no step involving payment? ps: I find the feeling of waking up to see rewards¡­ fantastically satisfying, heh heh, thank you, boss! Thank you to Alliance Hierarch desmondsze for the reward. 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 nced 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 iing 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; ourpany has a team for that.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately walked outside, ¡°CEO Zheng, this is¡­ too valuable; I really can¡¯t ept it.¡± Zheng Guotanughed, ¡°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 ufortable: 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 stic surgery can cost over a million yuan these days. I just want to curry favor in advance, in case somethinges 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 articte. 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 thepany 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, rtionships 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 rtionships. Chen Cang was keen on making connections, and Wang Zhi was even more pleased inside. With their ¡°meeting of minds,¡± their rtionship 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, nning to take her on a weekend tour of the ce 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 intoughter; 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 ofment 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 butugh 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 tough; 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?¡± N?v(el)B\\jnn Chen Cang¡¯s forehead was covered in ck 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 ying with her phone on the couch, suddenly felt a bit out of ce. ¡°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-inw¡­ although he imed 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¡¯ rtionship. Moreover, Qin Xiaoyuan genuinely thought well of Chen Cang, especially his future prospects. But, after all, he was a child from the vige; it wasn¡¯t easy for any of them. They should pursue their development and not let the house issue dy 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 mentionedst 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 nned 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: 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 contemting how to surprise the other. When their shifts changed, they exchanged nces 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 particrly 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 pped 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 busytely. Ever since the rtionship 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 neers 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 bepetitors. 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 Cangughed heartily, not hiding it from Old Chen, ¡°Hehe, Boss, you caught me, huh?¡± Old Chen also broke into heartyughter, ¡°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 reallyplement you!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve got good taste, kid. Act fast. This is the Dean¡¯s future son-inw; 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 muchtely?¡± Chen Cang sighed, ¡°I¡¯ve been too busytely. 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-inw to chip in.¡± Hearing this, Chen Cang quicklyughed and declined Old Chen¡¯s kind offer, ¡°It¡¯s enough, it¡¯s enough. Once the renovations are done, you all shoulde 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-inw 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 ce, 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 coldugh, ¡°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, nced 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. Aplete pancreaticoduodenectomy, this level-four surgery, was something he really hadn¡¯te 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 urred 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, ted.
    ¡°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 outughing.
    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 urring. 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 eximing, ¡°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 bing 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 nd secreting insulin, ys a crucial role in regting human blood sugar. If the pancreas is removed, postoperative diabetes management bes 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, prating 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 390: 390: The Full Man Does Not Know the Hungry Mans Hunger (Two in One, Large Chapter) Chapter 390: Chapter 390: The Full Man Does Not Know the Hungry Man¡¯s Hunger (Two in One, Large Chapter) Zhang Zhixin¡¯s ¡°I just farted¡± remark plunged the operating room into a moment of embarrassment and helplessness. But fortunately, it was much better than the previous tension, anxiety, and panic. At least the patient on the operating table didn¡¯t have any issues! Everyone couldn¡¯t help but slowly exhale, and then took a long breath¡­ However, thinking about what Zhang Zhixin said, they couldn¡¯t help but interrupt their breath halfway through! They just couldn¡¯t inhale it! Even the head of the anesthesiology department couldn¡¯t help but cough discreetly and sneak out the back door for some fresh air! It was too damn smelly! It smelled just like bowel obstruction. What the hell did you eat this morning? How could you produce such a smell?
    Thinking about it, they felt a sense of heartache. A few nurses wanted tough but didn¡¯t dare, so they could only hold it in. As for people like Zhang Youfu, it was much better; they were used to the smell and didn¡¯t mind this one bit. The key thing was, this fart¡­ was too embarrassing. You see, on the operating table, everything is feedback of information. Indeed, you can tell a lot from a smell. Zhang Youfu red fiercely at Zhang Zhixin, who offered an awkward smile in response. If he had a system, right now it would definitely be flooding him with ¡°Affection Level -N¡± messages. Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief as the tense atmospherepletely dissipated. Turns out there wasn¡¯t anything wrong with his eyes! ¡­ ¡­ The surgery proceeded as normal, with Chen Cang¡¯s job being suturing and tying knots, as there were two senior attending physicians by his side, not leaving much for him to do. All three were experienced and skilled. The entire surgery ended smoothly and without any mishaps, except for the small hup caused by Zhang Zhixin. Chen Cang was worried¡­ Would that fart affect the patient¡¯s healing and recovery? Wouldn¡¯t it cause an abdominal infection? With that thought, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head¡­ After the surgery, Chen Cang and the others couldn¡¯t help but keep their distance from Zhang Zhixin, fearing he might let another one rip.
    After all, they were all medical professionals and knew one thing: if such a smelly fart could be released, a second one was definitely possible, so better to keep some distance early on. When Zhang Youfu looked at Chen Cang, he suddenly remembered something and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°By the way, Chen, the annual meeting is next weekend, how¡¯s your preparation going?¡± Chen Cang sighed helplessly. The paper had been submitted, but he had not yet received an eptance notice, and no acknowledgment message hade either, which was really worrisome. If only he hadn¡¯t submitted such a high-end article!
    ¡°The surgical video is ready, so there shouldn¡¯t be any issues with the presentation, but¡­ the first paper is ready for publication, but I haven¡¯t received any acknowledgment for the second one yet¡­ I don¡¯t know if it will be epted.¡± After hearing this, Zhang Youfu was taken aback, ¡°Which journal did you submit to? Maybe I can help by urging them a bit? If not, we can ask Director Qian to inquire so they might review it sooner.¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite close with the editor-in-chief of ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery.¡¯ Recently, they even invited me to submit an article. I have friends in several other domestic journals. Let me ask around for you.¡± After saying this, Zhang Youfu felt quite prestigious. After all, the ¡®Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery¡¯ was a very impressive domestic journal in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. It seemed that Chen Cang aimed high, presumably submitting to a core journal. Zhang Youfu had friends in many domestic hepatobiliary surgery journals since they regrly met at conferences, bing fairly acquainted with one another. If Chen Cang had two good papers, it would be significant for the awards, which is why Zhang Youfu was so concerned. With Chen Cang¡¯s insufficient clinical experience, if his research wasn¡¯t up to par, it would be hard for his peers to ept and recognize him. After listening to Zhang Youfu, Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed, but remembering that ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ was only fast-tracked thanks to Professor Xu Mo and his mentor Qin Yue pulling strings, he thought Zhang Youfu¡¯s offer might really be feasible! So his eyes lit up, he gave an embarrassed smile and said somewhat sheepishly, ¡°Director Zhang, I submitted to a foreign journal¡­ a British journal,¡± Zhang Youfu was momentarily stunned, then teased with augh, ¡°Boy, you have quite the ambitions, don¡¯t you? What¡¯s the matter, you don¡¯t hold domestic journals in high regard? In fact, many of our domestic journals are increasingly gaining influence with the recognition of various international organizations.¡± ¡°And many foreign journals are just blustering, without very significant influence, especially in terms of industry recognition, which requires scrutiny.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t make a peep this time, next time you¡¯re publishing an article talk to me first and I¡¯ll give you some advice.¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om What Zhang Youfu said made a lot of sense.
    Nowadays, many domestic journals are doing well, with increasing global influence and climbing impact factors. And it¡¯s not the case that an SCI-indexed international journal is always superior; there¡¯s also the question of industry recognition. Perhaps a particr journal is prestigious, and its impact factor is not low, but after you publish your article, it might not be highly recognized in your field. This is amon urrence. That¡¯s why Zhang Youfu said what he did, thinking that since Chen Cang hadn¡¯t done postgraduate studies and might not have a deep understanding of research and articles, there could be some herd mentality when publishing, which is understandable. Zhang Youfu indeed wanted to help Chen Cang out of kindness! After listening, Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll definitely need tomunicate more with Director Zhang in the future.¡± ¡°I submitted to ¡®British Journal of Surgery,¡¯ and so far there¡¯s been no acknowledgment; it might¡­ take who knows how long to wait. I¡¯ve heard their initial review alone can take a month.¡± As soon as Chen Cang finished speaking, he noticed the office, which had been lively just a moment ago, suddenly fell into a quiet lull. Zhang Youfu suddenly felt a twinge in his heart, as if he were having a heart attack. Even Zhang Zhixin and Chen Bingsheng exchanged nces, their eyes filled with mirth, but they had to hold back theirughter. After all¡­ ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯ was one of the TOP 10 journals in the world of surgery! It was even older than many journals with high impact factors, boasting a history of more than a hundred years, having been established back in 1913, with a significant impact factor of around four.
    Upon hearing Chen Cang¡¯s words, Zhang Youfu couldn¡¯t help but p his forehead, ¡°You young man have really gone wild!¡± ¡°¡®British Journal of Surgery,¡¯ do you have any idea what kind of journal that is? Although its impact factor isn¡¯t very high, it¡¯s¡­ notoriously hard to get published in, and it ces more emphasis on surgical improvements and innovations, you really have guts!¡± Chen Cang sighed awkwardly, ¡°I had no idea it would be like this, if I had known, I would have sent it to ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ instead.¡± This remark made the three of them burst intoughter once again. Chen Bingsheng chuckled, ¡°You really don¡¯t understand these journals at all. ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ is at the same level as the ¡®British Journal of Surgery,¡¯ but it has a higher impact factor and greater influence in the field of hepato-biliary surgery. To get published there, the review process alone would take about a year! And then waiting for publication would take another year; you might see your article the year after next.¡± Zhang Youfu alsoughed and said, ¡°I submitted an article a couple of years ago, revised it seven times, and, in the end, it was still¡­ politely rejected. I¡¯m going to try again this year.¡± Chen Bingsheng let out a sigh, ¡°If I had an article in ¡®Liver Transntation,¡¯ I would probably have no trouble getting promoted to associate senior this year.¡± There was no shame in that; in the entire Dongyang Province, there were only a handful of published articles in ¡®Liver Transntation,¡¯ and every one of them was by a giant in the field. Qian Liang published one, and it caused quite a stir at the annual conference. When Chen Cang heard about Chen Bingsheng¡¯s promotion and job title issues, he suddenly became curious, ¡°Can the same author appear more than once in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯? Regarding the assessment for professional titles.¡± Zhang Youfu nodded, ¡°Certainly, for such major journals with high impact factors, considering therge number of participants for each article, during the assessment process, there can be several individuals listed as the same author. Even the second author can include it in their resume, which is very useful. If Bingsheng has an article in ¡®Liver Transntation,¡¯ even as the second author, he should have no problem advancing in his title.¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately felt relieved. He had made Qin Yue the first author and Chen Bingsheng a co-author; after all¡­ Chen, the elder, was the control group! During the minimally invasive procedures under endoscopy, Chen Cang, to ensure the double-blindness, kept Old Chen in the dark about participating in the experiment and used Old Chen¡¯s case as a control, which naturally made him a co-author. Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Then there¡¯s no issue, right? In thatst article I published, ¡®Minimally Invasive Procedures under Endoscopy with Small Incisions,¡¯ you were a co-author. Shouldn¡¯t you be treating me to a meal, Big Bro?¡±
    Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but chuckle and asked, ¡°Which journal did you send that article to?¡± An article that was published in a matter of two months¡ªhow prestigious could the journal be? Therefore, Chen Bingsheng assumed that Chen Cang had casually published an article, but even so, he was touched. Chen Cang nodded, taking it for granted, ¡°The journal I published in is ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯!¡± This statement was strikingly inappropriate! Indeed! Upon hearing these words, everyone¡¯s eyes bulged in shock as they stared at Chen Cang, their faces full of question marks. Then they were utterly baffled! Even Chen Bingsheng was stunned, ¡°What did you say? You published in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Yeah, it hasn¡¯t been published yet, but it should be soon. The eptance letter has already been sent, though I¡¯m not sure if we¡¯ll receive the journal before the annual conference.¡± Excited, Chen Bingsheng asked, ¡°Can I see it?¡± Zhang Zhixin shook his head, ¡°It can¡¯t be that quick, can it? From start to finish, two months, how can it be published that fast? ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ has such high standards.¡± Chen Cang pulled out his phone and disyed the eptance notification, ¡°Well, look at this!¡± Zhang Zhixin took a look at the ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ logo and instantly his eyes widened, then he checked the list of authors: ¡°Corresponding author: Chen Cang, first authors: Qin Yue, Chen Bingsheng, Li Baoshan; second authors:¡­¡± Zhang Zhixin still couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re not just messing with me, are you? This isn¡¯t a Photoshop, right?¡± Chen Cang rolled his eyes, ¡°Do I look like I have that much free time? It¡¯s already been published, alright, I¡¯ll send you the photos. It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t mailed us the physical copy yet.¡± Chen Cang opened photos of the journal¡¯s cover, the table of contents, and the article¡¯s detail page. Suddenly, everyone was stunned! They all looked at Chen Cang as if they had never seen him before. Chen Bingsheng burst intoughter. ¡°Holy crap, I can actually publish an article in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯, badass badass! Little Chen, let¡¯s go have some good food for lunch!¡± Chen Bingsheng was genuinely happy! Because the significance of such a top-tier journal was truly extraordinary. This piece in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ could basically pave the way for Chen Bingsheng¡¯s promotion to chief physician without hindrance! Not many articles like this were found in Dongyang Province, which was very helpful in boosting the hospital¡¯s research score. Zhang Youfu and Zhang Zhixin stared at the photo on the mobile phone, looking astonished, envious, jealous, andplex, and were reluctant to put it down. Zhang Youfu felt a bit envious of Chen Bingsheng. This article was all about the prestige! Once you have be a chief physician, what mattered were things like articles, academic achievements, and so on. Originally, Qian Liang made a name for himself at the annual conference with just one article in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯. Zhang Youfu looked at the eptance notice photo, feeling downcast with a mix of envy and grievance burgeoning within him. Zhang Zhixin,pared to Director Zhang Youfu, had much lower aspirations! ¡°Little Chen¡­ about this, can we discuss something? Look at the new article you¡¯ve published, could you add me as a second author? I¡¯m talking about the one you submitted to ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯, I don¡¯t want to be the first author, just being the second would be fine! What do you think?¡± Zhang Zhixin said with a sycophantic expression. Chen Bingsheng couldn¡¯t help but mock, ¡°Tsk, tsk, trying to be the second author just by acting coquettishly? That¡¯s too easy!¡± Zhang Zhixin¡¯s face reddened: ¡°Scram, scram, scram! A full man does not know a hungry man¡¯s plight!¡± At this moment, Zhang Youfu excitedly said, ¡°Little Chen! This article is enough, one board member is enough!¡± ¡°¡®Liver Transntation¡¯, this article will definitely qualify you for the board election in the hepato-biliary surgery field of Dongyang Province, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°To be able to publish in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ at such a young age, and here I am, over forty¡­ I am so ashamed¡­¡± Chen Cang felt a bit embarrassed, ¡°About that, I actually¡­ took a bit of a shortcut.¡± ¡°Qin Yue¡¯s teacher, Professor Xu Mo is quite familiar with the editor-in-chief of ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯, so¡­ that¡¯s why it got published so quickly.¡± Upon hearing Xu Mo, Zhang Youfu suddenly realized, ¡°Professor Xu Mo¡­ that exins it then.¡± ¡°But ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ is not as simple as you think. Even if you know someone, it can only expedite the review process or publication, but the eptance standards haven¡¯t been lowered at all; in fact, they have been raised, because there is an unwritten rule within the ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ editorial team, demanding very high quality for articles fast-tracked for review, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t be approved!¡± After saying this, Zhang Youfu looked at Chen Cang, truly filled with emotion! ¡°Now I even think that the ¡®British Journal of Surgery¡¯ article you published will most likely get epted¡­¡± Chen Cang smiled awkwardly; the thing was, he couldn¡¯t guarantee it because that article was written by him and Qin Yue without any revisions from Xu Mo. What the oue would be, he really didn¡¯t know yet. ¡­ ¡­ ps: This is a two-in-one, counting as two chapters¡­ Chapter 391: 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 ssmate 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 andugh. 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 inparison?¡± 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 butugh, ¡°You¡¯ve really grown up, at first, I was a bit ufortable 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 ufortable, but he had been too busy during that time to think much about it. He had always nned 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 Bingshengughed, ¡°Now, you¡¯re considered a new generation of talent in our emergency department.¡± Chen Cangughed 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 sessful surgeries, but also to make clear diagnoses, distinguish diseases, enrich treatment ns, perfect treatment methods, and provide internal medicine treatments alongside surgery¡­¡± ¡°So you must not be arrogant, not get lost just because of a few sessful 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 ns, and so on¡­ Indeed, specialization is key, and he needed to perform surgeries well. But can you be 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 be 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 be a chief, you¡¯re thest 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om After the surgeries, they admitted and then saw off an elderly patient with a myocardial infarction. They were busy all afternoon. Such cases ur every day in the emergency department. It¡¯s hard to speak of any particr 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 exnation 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 ate-night supper. The hospital¡¯s nurse station had twomunal microwaves, meant to amodate patients as well as medical staff. This is because in the emergency room, it ismon 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 popr 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 nning to eat it all by himself. Everyone else didn¡¯t mind either; they were all in it for the fun.¡± Chapter 392: 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 gastricvage immediately before the drugs are fully absorbed. However, for those already in aa 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 gastricvage.¡± Lele went to prepare the items needed for gastricvage, 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 minutester, an ambnce rushed to the emergency department entrance, and the apanying 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 simr 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 apanying doctor then pulled Chen Cang aside to brief him on the patient¡¯s condition. ¡°The situation is a bitplicated,¡± said the apanying doctor, a man in his forties, which made Chen Cang pause. Chen Cang inquired, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The doctor exined, ¡°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 quiteplex!¡± 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 tofort the rtives. 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 dted!¡± ¡°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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 gastricvage, 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 exin the situation to you.¡± Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, almost losing his bnce! Chapter 396: 396: Daily Special Task Triggered! Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Daily Special Task Triggered! On Saturday morning, today at ¡°Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital,¡± surgeries had already been scheduled; five young girls were ted for transformations into mature beauties. For this reason, Chen Cang had arrived at the hospital early. In the past two months, Zhixin stic 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 be the leading slogan of Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital¡¯s promotion, and Chen Cang, a million-dor surgeon, had gained some fame in certain circles. In the small world of stic 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 stic 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 stic 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 Cange 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 particr about Xu Rou. In fact, Chen Cang hade to understand a principle: When you and another person are on the same level, on the sameyer, 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¡¯vepleted 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 thest 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 aplished at such a young age,¡± Xu Rou said as she apanied 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,plete 5 breast augmentation surgeries, and receive a master-level stic 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 ted, unimaginably pleased with himself. The SMAS Facelift was one of the most popr facelift surgeries in recent years, also an operation that tested a stic surgeon¡¯s skills on the international stage. This procedure provided a powerful anti-wrinkle effect that couldst 5 to 10 years and had almost no side effects, increasingly epted by more and more people. It was a testament to a stic 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 stic 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 uing 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 ce. 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! ording 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 seed. 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
    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 nned.¡± 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 highlypetent. Don¡¯t underestimate a stic surgery hospital¡ªa stic 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 dyed. But¡­ The other party seemed intent oning to see for themselves. ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 394: 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 nced at each other and handed over the notebook, ¡°Yes, don¡¯t damage it, this is¡­ directly rted 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 hisplexion, 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-changingndscape. 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 rtives were still anxiously waiting in the hall. A middle-aged man, in a state of copse, 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 disyed unwavering resolve, perhaps he had made up his mind: He would not give up without a fight to the death!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 maic 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 disyed abnormal spike-and-waveplexes 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 be 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 in terms, a person mightck 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 ced 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: 395: Everything Will Be Alright! Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Everything Will Be Alright! Chen Cang didn¡¯te 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 exnation? What is selective amnesia?
    Selective amnesia urs 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 requiremunication with family members and even possibly involve the police. Chen Cang turned around, looked at the girl, and smiled, ¡°Take a good rest. Rtives 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. Howe I have so many injuries, was I in a car ident?¡± ¡­ ¡­ 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 andid 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 exin, ¡°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 revtion 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. Aftering in and looking at Chen Cang, one officer said, ¡°Thank you for your assistance,rade. We have now filed the case, and your notes and the disability assessment have been of great help to us. The higher-ups are cing 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 tomunicate 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 oue. We don¡¯t want her staying in this city. We¡¯re taking her down south to a ce 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 thew!¡± ¡­ ¡­ 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 monthter 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 yearster, 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 be 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. ¡­n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡­ 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 12st 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: 396: Daily Special Task Triggered! Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Daily Special Task Triggered! On Saturday morning, today at ¡°Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital,¡± surgeries had already been scheduled; five young girls were ted for transformations into mature beauties. For this reason, Chen Cang had arrived at the hospital early. In the past two months, Zhixin stic 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 be the leading slogan of Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital¡¯s promotion, and Chen Cang, a million-dor surgeon, had gained some fame in certain circles. In the small world of stic 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 stic 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 stic 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 Cange 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 particr about Xu Rou. In fact, Chen Cang hade to understand a principle: When you and another person are on the same level, on the sameyer, 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¡¯vepleted 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 thest 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 aplished at such a young age,¡± Xu Rou said as she apanied 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,plete 5 breast augmentation surgeries, and receive a master-level stic 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 ted, unimaginably pleased with himself. The SMAS Facelift was one of the most popr facelift surgeries in recent years, also an operation that tested a stic surgeon¡¯s skills on the international stage. This procedure provided a powerful anti-wrinkle effect that couldst 5 to 10 years and had almost no side effects, increasingly epted by more and more people. It was a testament to a stic 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 stic 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 uing 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 ce. 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! ording 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 seed. 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 nned.¡± 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 highlypetent. Don¡¯t underestimate a stic surgery hospital¡ªa stic 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 dyed. But¡­ The other party seemed intent oning to see for themselves. ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 397: 397: A Misunderstanding! Chapter 397: Chapter 397: A Misunderstanding! Zhang Zhixin, Qin Xiang, and Yang Tao were all members of the provincial association of stic 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 stic surgery in An Yang is really good. Director Zhang, your stic 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 stic 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¡¯vee 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 toe 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 stic 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 mees here to exchange knowledge and improve together!¡± Gong Daizhen, in herte fifties, had just had a birthday recently, and a group of her students had gone to congratte her. A group of people from the stic 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. Tomand 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 toe to check it out in person! But just a few dayster, she heard Chen Cang¡¯s name again, and even saw one of his surgical sesses. 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 aparison 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 stic 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 ustomed 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 elderlydy 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 ¡°olddy¡± 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 nces, 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 red 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?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 stic surgery association, public hospitals with dermatology and stic 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: 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 imnt the prosthesis, where it would be after imntation, 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 sessful? 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 nces! Both were taken aback! Were they not going to use an endoscope??? Most current breast augmentation surgeries use an endoscope because it facilitates the cement of imnts, 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 subfascialyer towards theteral edge of the muscle. All these were simple! The most challenging part of breast augmentation surgery was the imntation 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 ount, 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 rtive, perhaps even exchanging greetings. With Zhang Zhixin¡¯s assistance, Chen Cang received the prosthesis, mped it with his fingers, and step by step, through the incision, ced it into the cavity between the dissected pectoralis major and minor muscles. Chen Cang suddenly realized that he had be 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 fingerscked enhanced dexterity, which might have made him more clumsy. Because when inserting the imnt, 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 maniption? But what happened next took them by surprise. Chen Cang kept adjusting, each time, each step,paring back and forth at least a dozen times. With every adjustment, they felt it seemed to be more natural. Every change, they felt something singrly different.
    Proportions! Height! Measure! ¡­ Chen Cang meticulously scrutinized and adjusted every detail. At that moment, Gong Daizhen, as an experienced stic 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 cement; 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 bes treasured. After seeing this, Gong Daizhen suddenly felt that Chen Cang¡¯s stic surgery had opened up a new direction and era. That was a sense of proportion! Apletely different new approach from the Korean style of stic 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 whenparing 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 reallyes down to talent! Something you can¡¯t learn. stic 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 stic surgery industry! After all, the stic 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 ustomed 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,pleted 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 ce! 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 stic Surgery?¡± Gong Daizhen¡¯s eyes also lit up, right! ¡°Of course, he can!¡± Gong Daizhen would even p her hands in wee for Chen Cang. The Association of stic 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¡¯recking 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 nced at Zhang Zhixin, Didn¡¯t you say President Gong came to find fault? This is clearly¡­ing 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 ck¡¯! Chapter 399: 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 trulye 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 rtionship. Chen Cang was also taken aback for a moment, another national-level association? By joining this, I should havepleted my task, right? And it¡¯s an advanced task: to join two national-level organizations or societies. But¡­ I haven¡¯t yetpleted my basic task of bing 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 rmendations, 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 rmendations! 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 andposure 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 stic Surgery Hospital. So even though Chen Cang had coborated 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 havee 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 spirite 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 inparing one good against another! ¡°` When ced together, the differences became immediately apparent. Beauty and magnificence are twopletely distinct concepts. Gong Daizhen had long since realized this and even began to contemte 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 coborative research project with Kyoto Institute of Technology on the study of such surgical fine-tuning instruments, and I hope to invite you to be 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 coborating 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. Thispared to traditional breast augmentation surgeries and techniques, has already seen a particrly 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 coborating 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?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 reducingplications 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 couldpletely take advantage of this opportunity, learn the method, andy 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 stic Surgeons, she left. Chapter 400: 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 stic 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 stic surgery hospitals and could inevitably attract trouble. I wanted to give you a heads-up.¡± Yang Tao also ran a stic 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 stic surgery. Like me, she used to specialize in dermatology. Later, when the government established the Association of stic Surgeons, she was called upon in a crisis and switched to this industry.¡± ¡°Looking at the booming development of the stic surgery industry now, it actually boils down to two issues: a shallow foundation and rampant misconduct.¡± ¡°The oldest generation in the stic surgery field is us. Most have transitioned from the dermatology departments of public hospitals. Weck depth, and at present, there are too many stic surgery options in China, with non-standard practices being all toomon. 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 weregging in development. In fact, many hospitals outsourced their dermatology and stic 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 stic 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 stic surgery in China¡­ was indeedgging behind. [Ding! Taskpleted. 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 sess 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 stic Surgeons is not very weing 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 stic 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 Cangughed 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 stic 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 evenined 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 ce.
    Later, as Zhixin stic Surgery Hospital, theirpetitor, prospered, An Jing naturally felt ufortable. You, a neer, asking for tens of thousands for a regr stic 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 monthter, her mentor would actuallye! 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om An Jing was capable, that was true, but a bit too arrogant, and with too many petty thoughts. Compared to her sister Annie, she wascking. 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 mytest 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 ofplex 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 ept. But what was even harder to ept 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 coboration between the stic 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: 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-inw 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 beenughing 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 tough even more. Ji Ruyun, seeing her daughter rolling withughter on the sofa and looking nothing like a properdy, couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This crazy girl finally got someone to take her; I¡¯ll have tofort 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 clearlycked 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-inw, was puzzled when he suddenly received this message. What did this mean? Could it be¡­ his mother-inw 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 sh, 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,e 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 intoughter upon reading the message. This kid, does he have such a strong will to survive?
    The mother and daughterughed together. At that moment, Qin Xiaoyuan poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and walked in to find the mother and daughterughing joyously. Curious, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the good news that¡¯s making youugh 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 be 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 chillypared 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 fromughter! 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 ofughter. 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?¡±n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 nce, 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 particrly 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 ttery, trulyfortable, 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: 402: Grand Prize and Surprise Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Grand Prize and Surprise Qin Yuey 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 nket. 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 apany 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, butparatively, 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 Cangcked 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 apany 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 ns 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 ns 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¡¯vee at the right time!¡± Qin Yue was also excited and nodded: ¡°Yeah, they didn¡¯t have thisst 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 arge 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 ces! 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 estatepanies 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, ¡°Congrattions to this friend for winning our grand prize. We will refund the relevant fees, and will renovate the apartment ording 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 congratte 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 tough. But out of curiosity, she nced over¡­ With that nce, 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 nce, 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: 403: The Mother-in-laws Delight Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Mother-inw¡¯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 toe so quickly! It seems¡­he shouldn¡¯t joke around in the future, just in case ites 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 shoulde over to our ce sometime!¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Absolutely, I¡¯ll definitelye 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 ttery made Ji Ruyun quite pleased, ¡°Come over to our ce sometime, and I¡¯ll make something delicious for you.¡± Then, Ji Ruyunughed, ¡°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 nced 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 n 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 intoughter. 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 rtionship, 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 ce 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 theyout 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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 wasughter 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 butugh 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 pped Chen Cang on the shoulder, ¡°Aren¡¯t you frequently visiting the stic 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-inw!
    Chen Cang suddenly saw the light; all the time he had spent learning how to get along happily with his mother-inw was not in vain¡ªit had already prated 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¡± wasbined with the ¡°Eye of Beauty¡±, such a significant change could ur! Thrilled by the thought, Chen Cang felt excited! Half a minuteter, 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 contemtion, very professional and peaceful, like a doctor examining a patient.
    She turned to nce 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 arepletely removable, andbined 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. ¡­ ¡­ ps: Three updates in hand, thank you for tasting. Thank you to friends ¡°Ruan Yuncheng¡± and ¡°Jian Moran¡± for their generous rewards, and to friend ¡°Hell Cat¡± for the nearly ten thousand rewards this week, much appreciated! Thank you to every friend for their subscription support. By the way, please, after finishing reading, give ¡°Chen Cang¡± and ¡°Qin Yue¡± a free thumbs-up, which can be done daily. Every little bit adds up, and this old author is eager to see them on the cover of Qidian one day, to celebrate their birthday. Thank you, everyone! I hope to make this a reality before the book ends. Thanks again! Chapter 404: 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 stic 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-inw, 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 bbergasted 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 eptable¡­ 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 liketer? Thinking about it, old Qin¡¯s scalp tingled! Qin Yue¡¯s face was full of embarrassment, and he cautiously nced at his mother, fearing any signs of an unstable menopausal factor. But seeing Ji Ruyun looking calm, Qin Yue rxed 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 exin! 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 andforted, ¡°Mom, what Chen Cang means is that he can help you get in touch with a stic 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 stic 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 exin it to your aunt?¡± Chen Cang nodded, ¡°Auntie, there are many methods for wrinkle removal nowadays, but the one with a longsting 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 generallysts a long time, up to six to ten years¡­¡± After Chen Cang¡¯s exnation, 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 stic 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 regted, 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!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 rtivelyx¡­ 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 nned 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 casualment 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 ites 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, ssmate, 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-inw of Director Qin. Director Qin, you¡¯re going to enjoy blessings in the future with such a son-inw!¡± 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 tter a little when meeting someone? Besides, Little Chen is bound to be sessful in the future, with a director father-inw and a director mother-inw. In Anyang City¡¯s medicalmunity, 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 rmendations?¡± 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 nces, 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 stic Surgeon¡¯.¡±
    Chapter 405: I’m 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 stic 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 pped his forehead, nced 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 stic 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 stic 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 stic surgery n.¡± 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, youe to me for stic 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 stic 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 sess, 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-inw to be so outstanding! And to think he was the most skilled stic 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 stic 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 stic 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 stic 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 exhrating 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 stic surgery. A millionaire stic 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 inted. Thinking of the days toe, 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 ying the fool to catch the wise. All three of them were stunned by Chen Cang. It really is! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 y 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 exined 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, silentlymenting: 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 ncing 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 stic 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 nced at it and muttered: It has gotten a bit bigger¡­ ¡°Spit it out, what kind of surgery is it? Is it hymenosty?¡± 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 exined. 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: You’re 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 afortable 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-inw?¡± Chang Lina approached with a grin. The woman¡¯s name was He Li, a sales associate working at arge 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 rtionship was still strong. He Li was enthusiastic and hospitable, and even a bit chivalrous¡ªmuch more outgoing than the seemingly gentle and schrly An Yanjun. ¡°Everyone can eat together; I¡¯m off today, so I made some extra dishes,¡± she said, opening the insted 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 ce, as constipation and meals didn¡¯t mix well, but everyone was already ustomed 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 ismon. 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 orxatives 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 olddy by his side watched anxiously, her face filled with concern. An Yanjun looked at the olddy and asked indifferently, ¡°How long has he been constipated?¡± The olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy¡¯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 quitemon in emergency departments where many doctors and nurses have done it before. Take, for example, a recent news story. A doctor on a ne 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 minutester, An Yanjun emerged from the restroom, having discarded the gloves. The olddy 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! n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 olddy, advised, ¡°Eat more vegetables and fruits in theing days. Boil the fruits if you can¡¯t eat them cold. If you feel constipated, use somexatives 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 olddy¡¯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 regrly 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-inw 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-inw, 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 ce, nor did he participate much in gossip. ¡°I¡¯ve known your sister-inw 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-inw 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 vige and quite an aplishment. At that time, your sister-inw 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 ssmates 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-inw 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 losemonnguage 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, sheid 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 workce who wanted to set me up with someone. When your sister-inw 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¡¯vee 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, in 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 me 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 bes 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 cardiovascr and cerebrovascr 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: 407: Kindness Will Not Be Late Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Kindness Will Not Be Late The old man and the olddy sat in the guardian¡¯s room, chatting softly. Both of them were in theirte 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy 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 olddy couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°This Director An¡­ I¡¯ve met him before!¡± The old man was momentarily stunned, ¡°When was that?¡± The olddy 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 olddy 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,pletely unaware of the incident his wife mentioned. The olddy 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,nding 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 evenined about Dr. An, really¡­¡± At this point, the olddy 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 olddy 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 exined 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 hadined 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 olddy sat there, silent for a long time. It was the same for both of them! After a while, the olddy 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 toe 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 nce, 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 aint 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 exined 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,cking in experience and clinical expertise, and that incident had a significant impact on him! It even yed an inseparable role in shaping the character heter 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 asionally, and the medical system wasn¡¯t perfect at that time. After listening, An Yanjun quickly shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t me 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 incidentter 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 hadined 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 bete. ¡­
    ¡­N?v(el)B\\jnn 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 rtionship, 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 withpassion 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 rtionships with characters and stories from within the industry. I believe that kindness is never toote! There are still the lives and pasts of characters like Chen Bingsheng, Shi Na, Li Baoshan, and others toe. 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: 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 rtively 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 apanied 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 epted the task, and suddenly felt, emmmm¡­ actually quite nice. Chen Cang suddenly felt that the system was very considerate, feeling veryfortable 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? ¡­n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ¡­ 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 sess 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 particr 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 ns 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 twoparoscopic surgeries this morning. Can you teach me how to deal with minimally invasive incisions under aparoscope? 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 surgeonse 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 underparoscopy 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 quitemendable 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 pnded on his head. Liu Jianughed 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 sessfully 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 suturingter on¡­¡± Chen Bingsheng listened attentively and wasn¡¯t embarrassed at all; after all, when learning, one must ask for advice humbly. Sinceparoscopic 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 theter suturing, even having to make incisions ording 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 worsepared 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, amotion 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. Inparison, Wang Yong¡¯s face was flushed red, trying to exin, 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 rtivelynky. 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 toplete 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!¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 409: 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 inte 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 exnations 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 muscr, with his routine emergency physical work, was even more hardened. Even this muscr 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 aint 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 nced 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 exnation.¡± Chen Cang casually ced 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 muscr man of one hundred ny centimeters just like that¡­ How much strength would that require.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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. Momentster, 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 nce and said loudly, ¡°The patient suffered from a galldder inmmation 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 galldder inmmation hassted 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 used 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 Ick medical ethics? Then I ask you, why did you bring your father to the hospital only today when he has been suffering from galldder inmmation 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 me 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 galldder inmmation. 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 ept. 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 galldder inmmation for three days, and this couple failed to notice? How could that be?! If they had the least bit of concern, would it havee to this? Galldder inmmation 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 galldder inmmation, 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 simr surgery before in the virtual space¡­ Turning around, he patted Wang Yong and nced 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: 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 wee 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 theughing 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, ording to the examination and test results, we must first control the overall symptoms and schedule a surgery.¡± After finishing, Chen Cang nced 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 hey 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.N?v(el)B\\jnn Chen Cang said, ¡°Auntie, give me the films.¡± The nurse nodded and took out all thepleted 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. Rtives¡­ rtives 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, Afterforting himself, Wang Yong quickly stood up and went towards the ward. Honestly, being a doctor really does require a capacity for emotional regtion, 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 galldder inmmation hassted 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 ording 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 dy was definitely problematic, there was no doubt about that. But could Chen Cang guarantee a sessful 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. Aftering 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 galldder 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 rtively 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 y. 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 contemtion! ¡°The patient is too obese, with such a thickyer of fat, and severe adhesions underneath,plications 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 galldder!¡± 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: 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 toe 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 toe 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¡¯sing 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 sessful 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 rtionship and often attended meetings together. Upon seeing Zhou Hongguange 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 dy 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 fatyer in the abdomen is thick, which makes it very hard to locate the galldder once the surgery starts. Second, after the galldder inmmation 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.¡± ¡°Galldder 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 galldder would definitely injure the liver, which is inevitable. So, my rmendation is also to perform a cholecystostomy.¡± At this point, Zhou Hongguang was Dong Qiangsheng¡¯sst 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 toe over just for the excitement. He came to embolden Chen Cang! ¡°Chen,e 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, youe 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 nced 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 nomittally 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om 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 particrly care about one or two more, but Chen Cang was just starting out,cking in practice and learning. Given the special circumstances of the patient, if local anesthesia was used, it would entail a lot ofplications. 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 galldder, to provide a new venture for the operation. The incision was gradually widened, revealing a thickyer 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: 412: Mutated Boss Monster! Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Mutated Boss Monster! Zhou Hongguang furrowed his brows slightly, then continued the surgery without the slightest dy. 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 nced 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-proimed 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 idental 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 sh of curiosity. This young man seemed really impressive!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The surgery continued. Theplex interior of the abdomen had been mostly cleared. At this time, the bottom of the galldder also began to be revealed. But¡­ The base of the galldder was visibly erged 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 galldder 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 simr 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 ce around the galldder, 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 remainedposed. Compared to favorability, he longed more for the mutated boss¡­ This was the most critical moment of the surgery. Prior to the operation, the galldder needed to be punctured with a needle for dpression, 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 galldder. By now, the surgery had reached its final stage. A cholecystostomy, to relieve treatment when the galldder 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 urred, 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 galldder, but¡­ Zhou Hongguang was clearly ready to start suturing. If it was merely about creating a cholecystostomy for drainage at the bottom of the galldder, 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 nkly with his brows tightly knit at the bottom of the galldder, 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 andmon 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 galldder 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?¡± Thisment was undoubtedly p 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 difort! 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¡¯splexion changed!
    On close inspection, indeed, blood was flowing out of the drainage tube! Why was there blood? Where did this bloode from? At this moment, everyone was stunned. The sudden bleeding caused Zhou Hongguang¡¯splexion 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: 413: What a good child! Chapter 413: Chapter 413: What a good child! Did Chen Cang find out? To be urate, 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 exin too much, talking too much was pointless, and it was better to get to work. Moreover, at this time, thest thing needed was blind hemostasis. Because the patient already had portal hypertension, during portal hypertension,paratively 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 galldder 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 particrly 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. Galldder inmmation 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 galldder inmmationbined with biliary variation! The galldder, having an acute inmmation 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 essory hepatic duct. At this moment, the variant intersection of hepatic and bile ducts could easily be overlooked! Once this variant crossover urred, 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 n to remove the galldder, and separating the galldder would definitely damage the hepatic ducts. Acute galldder inmmationbined 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, identally 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 idents could ur.
    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 galldder did not need to be removed, it was precisely because no drastic action could be taken that the difficulty of the surgery escted. Chen Cang¡¯s eyes were glued to the hepatic duct,mon bile duct, galldder, essory hepatic duct¡­ Suddenly, Chen Cang saw what appeared to be an adhesive tear between the intersecting essory hepatic duct andmon bile duct, just off from the galldder! 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Chen Cang made a significant contribution! Zhou Hongguang, excited, stared at the intersecting hepato-biliary ducts with an exhrated 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,plexity, 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 apanying 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 ofprehensive 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 suchplex surgery, able to find such difficult issues¡ªa small bile duct, what¡¯s thatpared to everything else? s¡­ Chapter 414: 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 cardiovascr department. s¡­ 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 nced 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!]N?v(el)B\\jnn
    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 internallyining, he didn¡¯t dy in his work at all. Suddenly, with a ¡®ding¡¯, a system notification sounded. Chen Cang was momentarily stunned! [Ding! Congrattions, you have sessfully learned through observation and obtained an advanced surgical skill: Hepatic Injury Repair Surgery (Master Level) Iplete Version!] Chen Cang was initially pleased, but upon seeing it was an iplete version, he immediately had an issue with it.
    I¡¯m a whole person, yet I get an iplete 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 systemter. ¡­ ¡­ 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. Evenrade Youfu was much inferior byparison. About fifteen minutester, the surgery was thoroughlypleted. 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 ustomed 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 sessful, and everyone¡¯s mood finally rxed. 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 neer, 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 abdomenyer byyer. Honestly, this was the most difficult abdomen Chen Cang had ever sutured. The adiposeyer 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 thest surgical knot, people looked at the suturing again and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. Zhou Hongguang couldn¡¯t help butment, what is a master? The couplet reads: To highlight the essence in the midst ofplex 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! The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 415: 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 andugh, showing none of the posture of ¡°rivals in love¡± brandishing weapons at each other. The sess of the surgery seemed to have put everyone in a much more rxed mood. Zhou Hongguang looked at Li Baoshan with a smile, ¡°Director Li, your Provincial Hospital No. 2 is truly a ce of outstanding people and spirit. Chen will surely improve here¡ªit¡¯s an excellent tform 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 shoulde to 301 to look around when you have the chance. Young people need to learn andmunicate 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 youe.¡± Qian Liang couldn¡¯t help but mutter hisints 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 oues; 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 toe, 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 andter 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 disys this average quality? An academic degree!
    But at the director level, what they value is the talent¡¯s potential for development and sticity, 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 verymon. 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, aparoscopic 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 onpleting 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 invasiveparoscopic surgery, more and more people wereing 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, nced 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 forparoscopic surgery.¡± Zhou Hongguang was suddenly in a state of astonishment, I surely know aboutparoscopic surgery, but evenparoscopic surgery must have an incision, where is your incision? Li Baoshan smiled, ¡°Director Zhou,e 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 underparoscopy, 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om This small incision might seem insignificant, but¡­ it¡¯s sure to be popr 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: 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, s¡­ 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 moreplete procedure. Li Baoshan, seeing the shocked expression on Zhou Hongguang¡¯s face, was inwardly thrilled, very happy, very proud. The inted 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 aplete 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 aparoscopic surgery? Or¡­ However, seeing that Qin Yue didn¡¯t use aparoscope, 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 erge 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 ustomed 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 bbergasted? 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 thetest 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 wascking: 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 particr areas. If the improvement of small incisions made surgery more suitable for primary hospitals, then the minimally invasive wounds underparoscopy were an advancement for metropolitanparoscopic 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Thinking this, Chen Cang chuckled lewdly¡­ ¡­
    ¡­ After watching the surgery, Zhou Hongguang¡¯s feelings were indeedplicated. 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 ttered! It¡¯s sofortable! 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 coborate!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan¡¯s face turned red, ¡°This, er¡­ I didn¡¯te 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 nce at Li Baoshan. ¡­ ¡­ Chapter 417: 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 anomalybined with cholecystitis which aggravated his condition. I suggest that you take good care of him and make himfortable. 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 exined 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 widerwork, being able to connect with more people.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om This is exemplified by Zheng Guotan. Chen Cang was not averse to such connections, after all, societal rtionships 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 iplete 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 vascture 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. [Iplete 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 iplete 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 iplete, 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 shes 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 toe 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 thetest!¡± 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 tform 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 Hongguangpeting for an academician position, but an academician post was still out of his reachcking papers, research projects, and most importantly, awards. These are limitations of region and tform, truly unavoidable. At this thought, Qian Liang sighed deeply inside, inevitably feeling a touch of mncholy. 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! Wee aboard.¡± Chen Cang smiled, ¡°Thank you, Director Qian.¡± Zhang Youfu continued, ¡°Director Qian, the thing is¡­ Chen Cang wants to be on themittee. He has prepared two papers, one on ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯ 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 Transntation¡± was indeed highly prestigious, even Zhou Hongguang immediately took note, ¡°Oh? Chen Cang, you published a paper in ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯?¡± Qian Liang was also quite shocked, ¡®Liver Transntation¡¯, 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 Transntation¡¯ should be enough, I¡¯ll put in a good word for you. Oh, and there¡¯s a surgicalpetition, 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, exining 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: 418: Whatever is lacking, make up for it! Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Whatever iscking, 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, mydy¡­¡±
    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 contemting, 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 be 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 trulyfortable¡­ he lingered in the feeling! With that thought, Chen Cang decided to y dead to hug her a little longer!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om ¡°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 nced 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 newmb 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 sh, 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 inte 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 isfortable! Qin Yue, despite being in herte twenties, still had the heart of a girl. She had never been in a rtionship all these years, staying in the ivory tower until graduation, thening 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 quitefortable 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 bemitting a crime!¡± Wang Qian nearly choked, and Qin Yue almost choked on her milk tea, ring 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 particr reason, ¡°What¡¯s your guess?¡± Chen Cang thought for a moment, then had a sh of inspiration, ¡°Compensating for what youck?¡± ¡­ ¡­ 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 bing 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 toe 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, vaciting but not entering.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om d in tattered clothes, the vagrant exuded a foul odor detectable from a distance of three to five meters. His clothes were frayed,yer uponyer, and his hair unkempt. He dragged along a pile of recybles, including cans, cardboard, and stic 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 quitemon 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 beforeing 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 stic bag of instant noodles from his pocket, unfolded it, and revealed a white stic bag inside filled with one and five yuan notes as well as arge 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 axi and infraglenoid tubercle lightly with his hand, Chen Cang could feel the disced 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¡¯ty 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 ce! It¡¯s in! The homeless man, seemingly ustomed to joint dislocations, did not show too much difort. 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 dors 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: 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 arge 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 regr day, everyone steered clear of him. What followed was an unintelligible jumble of ¡°hmm¡± and ¡°ah¡± as he gesticted wildly before hurrying to his feet and leaving. Dragging his belongings with a ttering 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?¡± ¡­n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om A group of people engaged in animated discussion, full of surprise, because to them, this seemed utterly imusible ¨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. Amon 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 toe inside. Left with no choice, I just performed the reduction for him. Luckily, it was just a joint dislocation and didn¡¯t need a ster 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 exin 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 ie and security, so why not stick to it, right? Furthermore, manual reduction came with its own risks; if not sessful, 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 be 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, andter I read some books, explored a bit¡­¡± ¡°Today just happened toe 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 andughed as they walked towards the newly openedmb spine hot pot restaurant. [Ding! Medical Compassion missionpleted, reward: Partial Human Anatomy Detailed Exnation, note, you can randomly select a human bodily system to learn, such as the digestive system, blood cirction system, respiratory system, etc. When the ss 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 cirction system.¡± This might be what he needed most at present, right? Thinking of the major vascr surgery in a few months, Chen Cang, after much consideration, decided to choose the blood cirction 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 Cirction 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 cirction 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 atemb 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: 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 bitter 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 rtively 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 tough 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 departmentughed 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. ¡°Buting 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 ountable.¡± 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 sry 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 freebor.¡± 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,e quickly, I am a man with standardized trainees now!¡±n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om An Yanjun nced at Wang Qian andmented 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 Qianughed, looking at An Yanjun with amusement, ¡°It¡¯s still fine for me. That kid feels a bit guilty sometimes andes 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? Howe I don¡¯t know!¡± Wang Qian burst intoughter, ¡°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 nce. When Wang Qian saw the pretty young girl, his spirits lifted instantly, and he smiled! Chen Cang looked helpless but heard Qin Yuement 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 inmon 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 youe to the province for your postgraduate work?¡± Xu Dongdong had a good attitude, ¡°I¡¯m a schrly 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: 422: Mission and Vocation Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Mission and Vocation The emergency room truly is a ce 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.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Zhang Shu was in charge of rescuing the patient who had fainted. Meanwhile, Chen Bingsheng immediatelyunched 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 escted 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 thatsted 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 sessful 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 ced upon them, a burden far too heavy! At that moment, they also clearly recognized that they were thest 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. ncing 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 hase up¡­ Ah, it¡¯s disrupted your mealtime. How about youe 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 betweenughter 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 nced 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 toe 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 youe to my restaurant. I¡¯m not boasting, but my cooking is truly something special, it¡¯s a pity that¡­ Ah!¡± Chen Cang was torn betweenughter 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 toplete, 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 regr 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 minutester, a man carrying bothrge 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 ced 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 rmended, and I couldn¡¯t help but read it again, making myselfugh. 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 shorings. Writing really is like this, you constantly encounter new problems ande 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 bing a new helmsman of this book, thank you for your support! Chapter 423: 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 augh. For them, participating in the residency program was merely to get a training certificate, which would help them sessfully 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 be less keen on learning over time, or there¡¯s no healthypetitive atmosphere. Maybe they becent, or maybe¡­ Essentially, they treat medicine as a job, not a career, and thepetition is not in medical skills or academia, but inworking. 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 be toofortable, 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 Cange 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 ying the role of a teacher, having never taught before, and she wondered if she did something wrong as Chen Cang stoppeding. 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¡± ssmates who think so highly of themselves! But why isn¡¯t Chen Canging? 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 sheparing 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!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Meng Xi wasn¡¯t concerned, as her mind was upied with figuring out how to properly y 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 urate? 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 minutester, 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 unustomed¡­ he could only offer a sheepish smile, ¡°This¡­ Teacher Meng, I¡¯ve been a bit busytely, 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, withoutpromising 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 ording 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 ns for your three years as a graduate student?¡± Chen Cang paused, and after some thought, if he really had a n, 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: 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 ns¡­ What should he say? Pondering this, Chen Cang said, ¡°Teacher Meng, regarding the nning 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!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om 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 mutualplimenting 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 hardtely. 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 toe to the surgery; I¡¯lle 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 nce 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 hisplex 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 shorings and to ask a student to teach¡­? Such an event, if told, who would believe? Or¡­ was he anesthetized himself? The anesthetist nced 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, coborate 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 whereck of experience made it difficult to master. Chen Cang¡¯s skills were the result of thousands of surgeries umted 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! ¡°` The Novel will be updated first on this website.
