When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 211: Did I use my recovery skill backwards?

Chen Cang looked up and saw a circle of department heads and pairs of curious, innocent eyes. Far from being nervous, he felt somewhat expectant.

This wasn’t his first time performing surgery in front of such a large audience.

How does the saying go?

Some people are just naturally the center of attention.

Still, the 24-hour shift was somewhat exhausting, and wearing a mask, Chen Cang couldn’t help but yawn.

He shook his head. You can’t perform surgery in this state, he thought. Esophageal surgery is not as simple as an appendectomy; it required serious attention and care.

With this in mind, Chen Cang surreptitiously used a recovery skill that came with his “Bai Qiuen Surgery Gown”!

Immediately, he felt as if he was in a warm home with underfloor heating, when suddenly a bucket of cold water poured down from above…it was bracing!

Chen Cang shuddered.

This damn sensation… was too thrilling, right?

Chen Cang gritted his teeth. In other novels, recovery skills always seemed so comfortably soothing.

They felt like a breath of spring air.

But his recovery was like a plunge into icy water, invigorating yet harrowing.

Well, regardless of the process, the effect was pretty good. At least now Chen Cang felt much better, totally refreshed, and all sense of fatigue had disappeared.

He felt as spirited as if he had just woken up from a good night’s sleep and taken a refreshing shower!

Turning to look at the nurse, Chen Cang suddenly blinked in recognition. Wasn’t she familiar?

“Give me the scalpel.”

Yuan Yuan looked at Chen Cang, feeling a little excited. After all, it was a big scene today. See, all the department heads around? Each one was a leading figure at the provincial hospital. Just thinking about boasting about this later tonight made her a bit nervous.

The surgery began, and Tao Zi and Li Baoshan came forward to help.

Tao Zi was from thoracic surgery. Though heart and chest surgery were related, there was still a big difference.

However, lending a hand was not a problem.

The master-level esophageal repair surgery had greatly transformed and influenced Chen Cang’s skills, honed by thousands upon thousands of operations to near perfection.

Gently opening the skin and dissecting layer by layer.

Li Baoshan, who was ready with the hemostatic gauze, was surprised to find very little bleeding.

Li Baoshan keenly noticed that Chen Cang’s technique smartly avoided unnecessary blood vessels without compromising the surgery.

This was the result of a deep understanding of the vascular architecture of the local tissue regions.

Every move was intentional, the outcome of relentless practice and learning.

Truly, he was someone who paid attention to details!

But what kind of practice yielded such results?

With that thought…

Li Baoshan couldn’t help but look up at Chen Cang.

All he saw was Chen Cang with his head down, eyes focused intently on the surgical area, meticulous and earnest.

Li Baoshan couldn’t help feeling impressed. What a great talent! Serious, delicate, and attentive to detail; these were all excellent qualities for a surgeon!

Li Baoshan felt a bit of self-reproach and guilt; he seemed to have overlooked the growth of the doctors in his department.

With that thought, he sighed…

After this, he might have to consider focusing on nurturing Chen Cang.

But then, it seemed he had never underestimated Chen Cang; rather, the young man was always creating surprises for him.

The surgery progressed step by step, quickly reaching the phase of separating the esophagus from the surrounding tissues.

During the mobilization of the esophagus, it was crucial to carefully monitor the surrounding tissues and the aorta, to avoid any complacency.

At that moment, the operating room door opened, and a slender man, not very tall and wearing black-framed glasses, walked in.

The nurse efficiently helped him into his gown.

Li Baoshan turned around and, upon seeing Wei Zhi, nodded his acknowledgment but didn’t say much, smoothly making way for him at the assistant’s position.

Wei Zhi nodded back, silently stepping in.

Having worked together quite often and maintaining a good relationship as veterans of the operating room, they understood each other well; no words were necessary.

After Wei Zhi arrived, he saw a pair of young, clear, and transparent eyes.

Suddenly curious?

Who is he?

Only his eyes were visible outside the tightly wrapped surgical gown.

Wei Zhi was there to help save the day, not for anything else. He had no particular obsession with being the chief surgeon, and after taking over from Li Baoshan, he skillfully acted as the assistant, constantly helping Chen Cang with retraction, irrigation, and hemostasis.

Logical and orderly, it made Chen Cang’s surgery go much more smoothly.

At this moment, Chen Cang was preparing to mobilize the esophagus, and Wei Zhi couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

But it seemed like before Wei Zhi could react, Chen Cang had already succeeded in the dissection…

At this, Wei Zhi was stunned.

This technique was somewhat… quite interesting!

No, that’s not it!

Upon recollecting it suddenly, Wei Zhi’s eyes narrowed, truly a matter for careful consideration. Very impressive!

Subtle!

Precise!

Decisive!

Several adjectives surfaced in Wei Zhi’s mind.

Which expert is this young doctor from?

Wei Zhi couldn’t help but be full of anticipation for the upcoming surgery.

Next would be the repair of the ruptured esophagus.

Wei Zhi had already passed over the needle holder; Chen Cang took the forceps with ease, feeling much more comfortable.

Chen Cang looked up slightly and saw that it was no longer Li Baoshan opposite him.

No wonder…

Director Li is capable, but his skills as an assistant are not as good as Wang Yong’s. This is much more comfortable.

Chen Cang suddenly thought that now he was doing minor surgeries, he could almost handle them by himself, but in the future, once he had made a name for himself and was doing major surgeries, he would definitely need to train a group of assistants. Wang Yong’s skills still needed improvement.

During this time, Chen Cang felt he needed to be on the lookout for more potential candidates.

The surgery continued.

Suturing was Chen Cang’s strong suit.

The mucosal layer and muscle layer were relatively intact due to being rupture-type injuries.

Although the incision looked larger than Old Yang’s, in reality, it was much less difficult.

Old Yang’s rupture was a chronic esophageal injury with significant mucosal damage, whereas Liu Wenjun’s was different as it was a rupture-type injury that was relatively easier to suture.

Easy as it may be, Chen Cang became even more serious.

Because this type of rupture injury could heal with a good expected outcome.

Moreover, because the wound could develop scar tissue, Chen Cang had to prevent granulation tissue from causing esophageal stenosis during the anastomosis.

Liu Jian found that there were three major points of admiration when watching Chen Cang’s surgery.

The first was the incision, precise, sharp, and decisive, like extracting the enemy general’s head from the midst of an army.

The second was the mobilization, stable as Mount Tai’s boulder, unshakable as a heavy bell.

The third was the suturing, meticulous and fine, crafting artistry through threading the needle.

Every time he watched the surgery, Liu Jian couldn’t help but feel deeply impressed.

Not just him, even Wei Zhi, who was watching Chen Cang perform surgery for the first time, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. This doctor… so skilled!

The surgery proceeded step by step, steady and unruffled.

Chen Cang was like a seasoned general, arranging his troops and dispatching commands, all done with authoritative ease!

[Ding! Lv37 esophageal rupture monster stitching complete, received: Clinical Experience +300; Surgery Experience +300; Skill Point +1.]

It was a success. The moment he removed his mask, Chen Cang became the center of attention!

Everyone in the room couldn’t help but look up at Chen Cang.

Those who knew him suddenly felt he was somewhat a stranger!

Those who didn’t know him couldn’t help but admire his exceptional ability!

And deep inside, Kong Yuanyuan was slightly excited, He looked at me, he looked at me!
