When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Duan Bo’s words directly left Chen Cang in a daze!

Asking me to perform flying knife surgery?

Could I, a mere junior doctor, really perform flying knife surgery?

At that thought, Chen Gang’s little heart couldn’t help but beat excitedly, because being asked to perform flying knife surgery was definitely a high recognition of one’s abilities.

For a surgeon, this was an honor without a badge!

But after calming down,

Chen Cang hurriedly said, “This… Director Duan, it’s not that I don’t want to, but my abilities are limited right now, I’m only good at performing appendectomy, the other…”

Duan Bo hurriedly said, “Expert Chen, what we are asking for is precisely the appendectomy, and… what we want is just that, the small incision appendectomy! An expert fee of 2000 yuan per case, with food, accommodation, and travel expenses covered, and a lecture at 2000 yuan per session, other fees are negotiable, how does that sound?”

Duan Bo was very shrewd; he did not ask why Chen Cang was reluctant but simply laid out the price!

2000 yuan for a single expert fee!

2000 yuan for a lecture!

Is that a lot?

Not bad at all!

To Chen Cang, it was a lot, as common junior doctors don’t get such treatment and wealth. Forget about being called out to perform flying knife surgery, one might not even get the chance to perform surgeries in their own hospital.

For junior doctors, this sum of money was far from insignificant.

It wasn’t a small amount for Duan Bo either!

The funds had to come from the department’s budget, not from the “expert fees” charged to patients.

Duan Bo was thinking of acquiring the technique, hoping that Chen Cang would leave behind the “small incision appendectomy” so that everyone in the department could learn it.

Eventually, when the department could promote and make the small incision appendectomy widely recognized, turning it into a major feature of the hospital, this amount of money would seem insignificant.

It must be said that Duan Bo had capability, courage, and vision!

Sure enough, after hearing the offer, Chen Cang weighed his options and then nodded in agreement, “Okay, but we’ll have to communicate further regarding the timing.”

Duan Bo eagerly replied, “Of course, we’ll follow Doctor Chen’s schedule and discuss it when the time comes.”

“By the way, Doctor Chen, do you know how to drive?”

Chen Cang was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, “I can drive, but I don’t own a car.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Bo complimented him with a laugh, “With your skills, Expert Chen, buying a car is just a matter of time, isn’t it? If you don’t have a car now, just call me when you come here next time, and I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Li Baoshan drove somewhat fast, much like his personality—energetic and fiery.

Li Baoshan rarely smiled, his expression and demeanor were quite serious. He wasn’t tall, just under one meter seventy, of average build, with a face resembling that of Zhang Yi. Although his baldness was somewhat severe, he was very spirited, and his eyes were like X-rays, able to see through diseases and into people’s hearts!

He was the backbone of the emergency department at the Provincial Second Hospital. As the security guard Qin Taishan would say, with Director Li in the emergency department, there were no problems.

Sitting in the car, Li Baoshan said thoughtfully, “Chen, I really want to keep you here!”

Chen Cang smiled, “Director, I’d like to work under you too.”

Li Baoshan shook his head, “I’m getting old. Today, after watching you perform surgery, I was overcome with emotion. Young people should be like you, daring to lead, to do what others are afraid of doing! When I was young, I was the same, but now… I’m becoming less and less courageous!”

The two of them conversed back and forth, never at a loss for words.

[Ding! Daily task completed, special reward obtained: Medical English Skill (Advanced)]

[Medical English, Advanced, Special Effect: Fluent Oral Expression.]

As the mission was completed, a flood of information surged into Chen Gang’s mind, suddenly endowing him with countless memories… English vocabulary- specialized pharmaceutical terms…

The only difference between medical English and general English is the abundance of professional terminology!

Chen Cang occasionally read “The Lancet,” but generally, it took him a long time to read an article, as the words were too complex, and he could not recognize them all.

If you use Youdao to translate, it would not only be inaccurate, but it also wouldn’t benefit your English proficiency much.

While the English test for postgraduate admissions is uniform, the test for doctoral candidates is specialized in medical English, and in fact, Chen Cang still harbored an obsession with academic credentials.

What if…

What if there was a chance to apply for a doctorate?

After returning, Chen Cang did not go to the hospital but instead went home early to rest.

Today, after completing the task “Show Off a Skill”, he acquired a new surgical technique, “Minimally Invasive Appendectomy”.

This thing represented a brand-new surgical method, which could compensate for many of the limitations and shortcomings of the previous minimally invasive appendectomy.

Common minimally invasive appendectomy indeed has many advantages and is popular, but it has a significant flaw that its current diagnostic range is very limited.

This new technique, which is an improvement of the minimally invasive appendectomy, enhances its initial basis by adapting to different conditions, increasing the range of indications for surgery.

After seriously considering it, Chen Cang was truly shocked by the improved technique!

Does this new technique not have any drawbacks?

Of course it does!

That is the extremely high requirements it places on the surgeon, who must master the anatomy of the abdominal cavity to perform the surgery with ease.

Chen Cang pondered through the night and finally gained a more thorough understanding of this surgical method.

Afterward, Chen Cang became curious—was this new technique available online?

Could it be that he was the only one who mastered it?

If that were the case…

That would be impressive!

To pioneer a new surgical technique, even if it’s the most basic of operations, would be enough to prove one’s ability.

Chen Cang decided that tomorrow, he would give this new technique a chance to shine in the competition!

Without further ado, Chen Cang got up early the next day and went to the hospital.

Ding! Today’s task: Today is a very important day in your life. Go show your skills, conquer them with your strength, and secure victory in the competition. Reward for completion: Advanced Cholecystectomy.

Chen Cang smiled. Nice, it seemed his second go-to surgery was soon to be in his grasp!

Cholecystectomy!

Compared to appendectomy, cholecystectomy can rightfully be carried out in emergency departments, even if the medical insurance inspectors come, they couldn’t object, as biliary tract diseases and the acute cholecystitis in critical illnesses are very dangerous. Emergency departments are fully capable of independently performing surgery.

Even the surgical department has to coordinate with the emergency department for operations.

Therefore, possessing such a skill was definitely good news for Chen Cang!

Moreover, there are many indications for cholecystectomy, and diseases of the gallbladder and biliary tract are also quite common. In comparison, appendectomy is just recurrent appendicitis surgery.

As a competent surgeon, you can’t just know how to do an appendectomy, right?

Even Cheng Yaojin had his three-axe trick!

I, Chen Cang, can’t only know how to remove appendixes, can I?
