Chapter 261: Chapter 262: Play a Song at Your Wedding (5000-word ga chapter)
Chang Honglei was the director of hand surgery at Jishuitan Hospital and also the vice-chair of the Chinese dical 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 won who manage to reach such a high rank.
Of course, this isn’t to say that there are no impressive won in surgery; leaving aside obstetrics and gynecology, which are largely dominated by won with very few n present.
Apart from obstetrics and gynecology, there are several other departnts where won are also prevalent, such as hand surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and so on.
One might think there are many won in costic surgery given the assumption that won are better with aesthetics, right?
Well, there might be more won in costic surgery hospitals, but in hospital plastic surgery departnts, there are almost none.
That’s because the tasks they undertake are different.
Costic surgery hospitals mainly perform minor surgeries that aren’t very intensive, so you might find won working there.
However, plastic surgery and dermatological surgery in hospitals are almost always combined; so hospitals don’t have a separate dermatological departnt and simply have a plastic surgery departnt, while others might make a distinction.
But plastic surgery operations are generally major surgeries, often lasting several hours, with large operations occasionally working through the night. Won generally can’t handle surgeries that last for over a dozen hours straight.
Therefore, when selecting graduate students, most ntors don’t choose won—not because they look down on them, but because the work is just too demanding!
Hand surgery, however, is a unique departnt. It’s neither too big nor too small, can be both extensive and minute, falls under the orthopedics system, yet stands alone from orthopedics.
So hospitals don’t have a hand surgery departnt at all. Most comprehensive Grade A hospitals don’t have hand surgery because their specializations aren’t so finely divided.
Hand surgery mostly deals with tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, and won’s patience and attention to detail are greatly valued in this field. Plus, these surgeries are not very tiring; what matters most is careful precision.
Thus, this field has given rise to quite a few top-notch female professionals.
Chang Honglei, as the head of hand surgery at Jishuitan Hospital, had profound expertise in the field of tendons, nerves, and vascular surgery of the hand!
She had been deeply engaged in tendon suture techniques and thods for many years, performing different levels of analysis for each thod, 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 thods are endless, and the patterns of disease damage are diverse.
Rather than exploring complex suture techniques, it was better to maximize the advantages of traditional techniques.
However, her views weren’t widely accepted over the years because most people fell into the cognitive trap of assuming that the more advanced the surgical thod, the more impressive it was. Therefore, they focused on learning top-level techniques while often neglecting in-depth research into fundantal techniques.
As a result, far fewer people supported Chang Honglei’s philosophy compared to those who idolized Professor Tang.
After all, the Tang thod for treating flexor tendon injuries had now beco the international standard, recognized by the European Society for Surgery of the Hand.
In the academic dical community, one needs articles and data to speak volus, 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 agreent!
It seed 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 perford as well as Chen Cang.
A single surgery, three tendons, four suture thods.
Each tendon injury was treated appropriately, using the best suture thod available—isn’t this the direction she had been researching for years?
At that mont, Chang Honglei couldn’t help but beco excited.
This was what she wanted!
She suddenly realized that her years of research weren’t in vain; it was just that no one had managed to truly unlock the power of this philosophy.
But Chen Cang could!
Today’s surgery showcased his comprehensive display of basic suture techniques and deep understanding, even refining the essence of each technique.
That was truly impressive.
With this in mind, Chang Honglei had made up her mind; she would delay her return to Beijing and first have a thorough exchange with Chen Cang.
She believed that through communication and discussion with Chen Cang, they could bring her philosophy to its fullest potential, creating a genuinely effective guide that could truly help those in need.
…
…
Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang, equally amazed and full of admiration.
It’s really rare to find soone who can use so many different tendon suture thods so skillfully!
This requires not only a vast amount of surgical experience but also a deep understanding of tendons and suturing.
That’s where talent cos 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 ant and imdiately 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 ti, we should sit down and properly create a Tendon Suture Guide that belongs to us Chinese. Then, let the European Society for Surgery of the Hand co to China to learn from us!”
Chang Honglei’s face blushed slightly, her expression sowhat longing.
If only that day would truly co, to elevate our nation’s prestige, to shine our nation’s glory!
…
…
Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang and couldn’t help but smile, “Chen, do you know what I’m thinking now?”
Chen Cang shook his head, and everyone looked over.
With a sigh, Wang Yushan looked at Chen Cang, half-serious, half-jokingly said, “I’m thinking of kidnapping you to our hospital, City Hospital Number Six.”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Chen Cang grinned, “Director Wang is joking. City Hospital Number Six is teeming with talent, hardly in need of more.”
“Plus, Director Wang, even if I stay in Dongyang, we can still maintain cooperation.”
Wang Yushan nodded. City Hospital Number Six might not lack a young doctor, but wouldn’t turn down a top-tier expert either.
Talent is always scarce, especially top-tier talent.
Wang Yushan nodded earnestly, gazing at Chen Cang and said word by word, “Hmm, I’m serious, Chen. When the ti cos 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 ti.
But right now, he didn’t really want to leave the platform of Dongyang Province. It was not easy to have built up the current situation and atmosphere. Although not a large platform, it was the most suitable one for Chen Cang.
On such a platform, Chen Cang could develop at his own pace, rather than advancing abruptly or being confined to a single industry.
Ergency dicine is a big stage.
Chen Cang’s life wouldn’t be limited to hand surgery. Going to City Hospital Number Six might be good for his developnt in hand surgery, but not necessarily for other departnts.
In Province Hospital Number Two, Chen Cang had the support of Li Baoshan, the backing of Qin Xiaoyuan and Li Jianwei, and the endorsent of the forr director Fang Yonglin. His developnt was essentially secure.
Add to that his recent enrollnt as a postgraduate student, and his transition into a hidden profession, not to ntion his anticipation to gain favor with Queen ng Xi.
Frankly, now was still the ti 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 seed impressive at the mont, upon closer consideration, it was just tendon suture surgery. Not to ntion the entire field of surgery, even within hand surgery itself, it was a basic, albeit fundantal, 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 beco 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 beca a well-known expert both dostically and internationally not just because he invented the Bunnell thod of tendon suturing.
The Bunnell technique was just sothing he researched in his thirties.
Compared to Chen Cang, Professor Tang was far more accomplished; having created the Bunnell thod at thirty, it suddenly occurred to Chen Cang whether Professor Tang also had a system?
Professor Tang’s awesoness is definitely not limited to just the Tang thod 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 thod?
In this era, there are countless suturing thods, and the ones that are rembered are all ticulously selected.
Looking at the admiration in the eyes of Wang Yushan and Chang Honglei, Chen Cang smiled knowingly.
The path of dicine is long and profound.
…
…
Xing Yu’s surgery was already finished, but he hadn’t been taken away yet, sitting there watching a group of big shots bluster about business, he always felt it wasn’t such a bad thing…
Blustering is always better than sighing and lanting, right?
If they were all sighing and lanting at this ti, Xing Yu would be the one crying.
Go ahead and bluster, once you’re done, I have sothing to ask…
But after waiting for a long ti, he noticed that one after another, their tales beca more and more outrageous.
Xing Yu couldn’t hold back any longer, “Excuse , directors, I want to ask, what are my chances of recovery, and to what extent can I recover? Will it affect my piano playing?”
It was only then that everyone realized the patient hadn’t left yet, and now was not the ti for boasting…
Wang Yushan pondered for a mont and said, “Mr. Xing, this is the situation, according to my many years of surgical experience, today’s surgery was very successful! Based on past assessnts, there’s at least a ninety percent chance of full recovery.”
“If you add the active rehabilitation during this period, I think it’s highly likely it won’t affect your piano playing.”
Having said this, Wang Yushan, seeing the excitent 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, dicine itself is full of uncertainties and risks, no one can guarantee a certain outco, do you understand what I an?”
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 extre lows.
He had even negotiated a claim with the insurance company and obtained a large sum of objective insurance money, but… his professional career had ended.
Xing Yu had even thought about what he would do afterwards…
But unexpectedly, fate favored him, and the surgery was so successful!
With these thoughts, Xing Yu couldn’t help but feel extra gratitude, looking at the directors, he stood up and bowed deeply, “Directors, I really can’t thank you enough, to put it plainly, you are my life-savers, these hands… they’re just too important, they’re like my second life. I started playing the piano when I was three, all my life… Ah! I just can’t thank you enough!”
Chang Honglei and the others smiled, “Mr. Xing, you saw the surgery yourself, the person who really helped you is Dr. Chen.”
Xing Yu nodded, turned to look at Chen Cang, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude, saying earnestly, “Dr. Chen, my hands are like a second life to , I don’t know how to express my feelings, but… no matter what, I will rember this act of kindness, and if you need anything in the future, please call my private number. When you get married, I am willing to co and play blessings for you personally! You will be my best friend.”
Chen Cang suddenly heard.
[Ding! Xing Yu’s favorability 50.]
This must be the first superstar he’s gotten to know, right?
Thinking this, Chen Cang smiled.
And if outsiders heard Xing Yu’s speech, it would definitely cause a huge stir!
Having Xing Yu play a piece at a wedding, who could manage that?
It’s not sothing you can do by just having money, it’s a form of recognition, an honor.
So ti 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 mont.
As for money… Xing Yu was too embarrassed to ntion it!
However, if Chen Cang knew these things, he would probably still hope for sothing more mundane, after all, everyone is worldly…
Chen Cang smiled, “Well, it looks like… I may have to wait a while to get married, at least until Mr. Xing’s hand is healed.”
A few words made everyone laugh.
Tan Zhonglin couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head, the kid is as cheeky as ever.
…
…
However, at this mont, the most bustling place was not here but in the conference room outside the operating theater, where various experts were watching the video!
All the experts in the field of hand surgery from hospitals big and small throughout Anyang City were struck dumb and speechless.
During the surgery, a new wound was unexpectedly discovered, a wound that could potentially destroy an operation that was on the verge of success.
This discovery imdiately caused everyone’s hearts to sink to the bottom of a valley!
The probability of the surgery’s success plumted due to this secondary injury, to a level that was impossible to grasp.
Who could guarantee a cure at this ti?
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 beco a grandmaster pianist on the world stage.
What a pity!
Perhaps, it was simply fate?
Regretfully, everyone sighed and shook their heads.
dicine is like this, often filled with all sorts of uncertainties, who can assure a 100% success rate in surgeries?
After all, there’s only one chance for an operation.
At this mont, everyone couldn’t help but feel regretful.
They could only see the surgical field, completely unaware of who was performing the operation.
But just when people thought the surgery was dood to fail, they found that the operation continued!
The needle holder started moving again!
This movent reversed the situation and resurrected the surgery from the dead!
The entire suture process was exhilarating, and it was filled with a sense of beauty, but these were not the most crucial points; the most important aspect was his surgery…
For a mont, everyone began to contemplate.
Suddenly, soone 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 ti passed by, people’s feelings turned from astonishnt to amazent, 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 thods so skillfully is indeed impressive!”
“Right, in one surgery, three tendons, using four different suture thods, and have you noticed? Each thod 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~
