Chapter 1115: Chapter 1118: Serves You Right for Running Your Mouth! Chapter 1115: Chapter 1118: Serves You Right for Running Your Mouth! Xiao Zhehai and Chen Cang had never t or spoken to each other.
To be honest, he did not have a deep understanding of this young man’s character.
However, he genuinely couldn’t complete this surgery.
He could manage to finish tumor cavity cleaning aortic replacent in 40 minutes, but performing two such surgeries? It was impossible for him, and for anyone else…
But wait!
Xiao Zhehai thought of a surgical video he watched yesterday and realized, perhaps Chen Cang could actually do it…
With that thought, Xiao Zhehai suddenly wanted to rant!
Yet, seeing the patient lying on the bed looking miserable, Xiao Zhehai wanted to help him.
Sotis, no matter how strong, respected, or influential you are.
When you’re lying on the bed, you’re just a weak patient.
Xiao Zhehai took off his gloves, threw them away, left the room to wash his hands, and then picked up the phone to call Wu Tongpu.
On the other hand, when Chen Cang learned that Xiao Zhehai wanted his help, he was startled!
Even a bit excited.
After all, Mr. Xiao Zhehai was a legendary figure, although he and fellow scholar Yang Pei were apart by a decade or two, they both spearheaded the field of major vascular surgery.
Xiao Zhehai, nearly 60, was still active in the operation room and was referred to as a model worker in the industry.
Of course, that title was often jokingly given by many, as nurous experts feel that Xiao Zhehai lacks the dical ethics a revered doctor should possess.
But that did not affect Xiao Zhehai’s academic status in their eyes.
“Director Xiao, hello!” Chen Cang was sowhat excited, learning from Mr. Xiao could inevitably benefit him enormously.
Xiao Zhehai smiled and cut straight to the chase, “Chen Cang, it’s like this, there’s a rather special patient, and I’ll speak to you directly.”
“The patient is a celebrity, and the surgery requires signing a confidentiality agreent, but the patient’s condition is also quite special. It’s a stage three syphilis patient with two dissecting aortic aneurysms, coronary heart disease, aortic insufficiency, and renal failure.”
“So, the ti for the surgery is limited, it must be completed within 40 minutes.”
“This surgery, I can’t handle alone, I need a chief surgeon nearly at my level to operate together, and I’d like to invite you to join in this operation.”
After hearing this, Chen Cang beca stunned.
A bit excited, as being invited by Xiao Zhehai to perform surgery was an indication of being highly valued.
And Xiao Zhehai’s words were really flattering, making Chen Cang feel his face flush.
What a reputation booster this would be when shared!
But…
A syphilis patient.
Chen Cang still felt a bit anxious.
Performing surgery on such infectious patients wasn’t favored by many surgeons, as occupational exposure isn’t rare in clinical practice.
Even with Chen Cang’s expertise, facing such a troubleso infectious disease still brought unease.
After all, he was only human, and getting infected could pose real problems.
Especially since he was about to get married and have children.
Should he proceed?
After hesitating, Chen Cang took a deep breath and made a decision.
In his future work, he would certainly encounter all kinds of patients, like those with hepatitis B, AIDS, syphilis… what then, should he reject them every ti?
Impossible!
As a doctor, there are indeed instances that you simply have to face.
Seeing that Mr. Xiao Zhehai could talk about this so calmly, Chen Cang took a deep breath, realizing that being a doctor requires not just excellent skills, but also exceptional ntal strength.
Thinking about this, Chen Cang felt relieved.
Since it was inevitable to face it sooner or later, why not face it calmly and gain so experience.
Caution is paramount!
Xiao Zhehai seed to notice Chen Cang’s hesitation. He did not mock him; he was not much better when he first started.
In fact, he used to avoid STD patients like dodging the plague.
He wished he could stay miles away.
He was about to comfort Chen Cang, but unexpectedly, Chen Cang agreed decisively.
“Um, alright, Director Xiao, when and where?”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhehai was montarily stunned, this young man… is courageous!
“Yes, not bad, quite brave!”
“But during the operation, you must be very careful, take proper protective asures. It’s at Peking University Affiliated Hospital, the surgery is today, just co over as soon as you can.”
“Right, the surgery fees are 3 million, if you’re not satisfied, we can add more.”
Upon hearing the surgery fees, Chen Cang smiled and said, “That’s enough!”
It seems rumors are true, Director Xiao is indeed a model worker in the industry.
While Chen Cang and Ma Yuehui were making rounds, Chen Cang turned around and said with a smile, “I need to step out for a bit.”
Ma Yuehui beca curious, “What for?”
Chen Cang sighed, “Ah, Director Xiao Zhehai has a surgery he can’t finish alone, he needs soone as capable as him to operate together, he just called .”
After speaking, Chen Cang couldn’t help shaking his head: “Group Leader Ma, sotis I really envy you. You don’t have to run around every day like I do.”
“Actually… being ordinary is quite nice!”
After Chen Cang left, Ma Yuehui stared dumbfoundedly at the young man’s silhouette, baffled. After coming to his senses… he started slapping himself.
“You and your big mouth! You and your big mouth!”
“Why invite trouble when you’re idle? Made him show off!”
…
…
Chen Cang didn’t drive; he took a taxi to Peking University Affiliated Hospital.
Along the way, Chen Cang kept looking for gear that could increase his defense.
He found two, one was [Bethune’s white coat] 20 defense, which would be useless once he put on the surgical gown.
Another was [Protective mask] 20 defense, which should be usable.
But still, Chen Cang felt it was not enough.
Better to be safe!
Be sure not to cut your finger, and definitely don’t get infected with pale spirochetes…
Soon, Chen Cang arrived at the Peking University Affiliated Hospital, a place where Li Baoshan had once worked.
After reaching the departnt of general surgery and contacting by phone, Xiao Zhehai brought Chen Cang and Yao Lekang to the director’s office.
Yao Lekang had just t Chen Cang; in fact, he had visited the hospital and had a al with everyone, not expecting to et again so soon.
It was Xiao Zhehai’s first ti eting him, and upon seeing him, Xiao Zhehai smiled, “You don’t look much like a famous doctor at all.”
This comnt made them both laugh.
Xiao Zhehai continued, “First things first, here are the patient’s imaging results, lab reports, and dical records, have a look.”
Chen Cang nodded, Xiao Zhehai did not disturb further.
After about ten minutes, Chen Cang had so understanding of the patient’s condition.
