Chapter 953: Chapter 955: Competing on the Sa Stage, The Pressure is Too Great! (Two in One) Chapter 953: Chapter 955: Competing on the Sa Stage, The Pressure is Too Great! (Two in One) Che Ling looked at the box filled with chocolates as if it were out of a fairytale.
She didn’t speak and it was unclear what she was thinking about.
Chen Cang didn’t believe a child would ponder anything profound.
To a child, spacing out might just an innocently spacing out.
However, Chen Cang suddenly thought of sothing and couldn’t help but feel a soft spot in his heart, he hurriedly opened the box, took out a piece of chocolate, tore off the wrapper, and handed it to Che Ling.
Che Ling glanced at Chen Cang, smiled, opened her mouth, and bit into it.
Feeling the fragrance of the chocolate gradually lting in her mouth, Che Ling couldn’t help but laugh and squinted her eyes.
“Delicious! Sweet…”
Chen Cang smiled, rubbed her little head, “Rest well tonight, tomorrow uncle will perform your surgery, don’t be afraid, uncle is very skilled.”
Che Ling nodded, “Mhm, I’m not afraid.”
She couldn’t help but laugh as she talked about the chocolate in her mouth.
Leaving the cardiothoracic surgery departnt, Chen Cang went straight ho.
Qin Yue had already returned, now she didn’t have to stay overti with Xu Rui every day, and her ti was much more ample.
Qin Yue was sitting in front of the TV watching a program, the al was already prepared, waiting for Chen Cang to co ho to eat.
“Are you back? I heard from my teacher that you were at Xiehe today?” Qin Yue asked curiously as she heard the noise.
Chen Cang nodded, “Yeah, had a surgery, but I had to rush off afterwards for sothing and didn’t manage to see you.”
Qin Yue asked curiously, “What patient was it? My teacher didn’t let anyone else go, but I saw a lot of people coming to visit the elderly, among them were so bigwigs from TV!”
Chen Cang said, “The national chief scientist, Academician of the Three Academies, Bu Hanyu.”
Qin Yue imdiately widened her eyes, “So it was Mr. Bu!”
“That’s the chief material engineer for Shenzhou spacecraft, his surgery was successful, right?”
Watching Qin Yue’s reaction, Chen Cang couldn’t resist pinching her face, “Don’t you know who your husband is?”
However, rembering what Dean Li Kai had said today, Chen Cang discussed future planning with Qin Yue during the al.
“Do you have any plans for the future? Are you thinking of going back to Anyang?” Chen Cang asked, actually, he also wanted to hear Qin Yue’s thoughts.
Qin Yue thought for a bit while eating and replied with a simple yet touching statent.
“Wherever you go, I’ll go,” Qin Yue said naturally.
Chen Cang smiled, “What if I go to the countryside?”
Qin Yue squinted her eyes, “I’ll follow you to the countryside.”
“What if I go on a disaster relief mission?”
“I’ll be with you.”
“What if I go to…”
“Alright, why are you acting like a woman, I’ve already said, wherever you go, I’ll go…”
Daily life, with the presence of Qin Yue, was filled with warmth and sweetness.
After dinner, Qin Yue washed the dishes, and Chen Cang sent out the papers he had organized over the last two days to the editor, Tang Sen, of the “British Journal of Surgery”.
He also made a call to give him a heads-up.
Ever since Chen Cang’s paper was successfully accepted with an offer, he had been in contact with Tang Sen for half a year, occasionally chatting and nudging about manuscripts.
Both of the papers were about laparoscopic techniques, one was an analysis of so special cases, and the other was on a special laparoscopic technique.
Then, Chen Cang prepared to go to bed early.
The “British Journal of Surgery” currently had an impact factor of below 10 points, so two papers would total less than 20 points.
There was a clear gap from 100 points.
Chen Cang now really wished he could publish a few papers in “The Lancet,” which had an impact factor of nearly 30.
But the “British Journal of Surgery” had acquaintances on hand, and whether it was the review or publication process, everything was speedy, without the need to waste too much ti.
At least submission was quick; it was either a rejection or an acceptance, and that’s the advantage of having connections.
About an hour later, Tang Sen’s call ca back.
“Chen Cang, are you serious about this?” Tang Sen asked with a skeptical expression.
Because there are very few people skilled in laparoscopic techniques like Chen Cang, who directly wrote a paper on it, and moreover, it’s difficult to say without experintation.
Generally, such technical skills, being highly subjective and also difficult to present data for analysis, were sowhat uncertain.
So, Chen Cang was also testing the waters, writing about a small technique, then focusing on explaining and analyzing it.
If this could pass, Chen Cang’s 100 points shouldn’t be a problem at all.
Hearing Tang Sen’s question, Chen Cang laughed and said, “Of course it’s true, how could I trick you?”
Tang Sen couldn’t help but say, “I’ll ask during the eting tomorrow, but to be honest, Director Austar has a very good impression of you. He’s particularly fond of the minimally invasive appendectomy nowadays, and he’s even thinking of reaching out to you for an exchange.”
“I need to go to the Royal Brompton Hospital tomorrow, and I’ll show your paper to Director Austar; he might be interested.”
Chen Cang smiled and said, “Thanks, I’ll treat you to Peking duck when we return to Beijing.”
Tang Sen ntioned being stingy then hung up the phone.
Chen Cang was confident in his own skills and hoped that this yet-to-et Director Austar had good judgnt.
In that case, his paper could perhaps be featured in a special issue…
As for “The Lancet”… well, let’s not dwell on that.
Chen Cang felt that when he had ti, he should show off a bit at The Lancet, or else publishing papers would be an issue…
The night passed without incident, and he slept quite peacefully.
The only ripple was when Qin Yue caught Chen Cang chuckling in his sleep over the thought of 20 million and then teasingly accused him of having a guilty conscience.
Regarding the issue of secret funds, Qin Yue rarely discussed it with Chen Cang.
Chen Cang had a fair degree of financial freedom, and Qin Yue seldom interfered.
Qin Yue had her own inco, and the daily expenses of the household were manageable.
For larger purchases, Chen Cang provided the funds, though he had also tied a bank card to Qin Yue.
The next morning, Chen Cang arrived at the hospital, finished his shift handover, and began preparing for Che Ling’s surgery.
The surgery was not very difficult.
But that’s from Chen Cang’s perspective.
For patients, however, every surgery was significant.
Even those surgeries that were not very challenging for surgeons, such as appendectomies or gallbladder procedures, could cause excruciating pain, so as a doctor, one should strive to do well with every minor operation.
Do every surgery with utmost care, reduce complications, handle every detail well, and maintain good communication with and psychological counseling for the patients.
From psychological treatnt to preoperative preparation, surgical treatnt, and postoperative care—
every step required the joint participation of dical personnel and patients for the patients to feel reassured and at ease.
…
…
While Chen Cang was in surgery that morning, the general surgery departnt was abuzz.
“This surgery is amazing!”
“Yeah, it’s incredible, really enlightening.”
“Right, he solved one of the most difficult aspects of pancreaticogastric anastomosis; it’s simply genius!”
“That’s not even the highlight. Look, where’s the key part? It’s that one cut. After that one cut, during the pancreatoduodenectomy, it’s like he’s reconstructed the digestive tract!”
…
Qiao Cheng’an had originally co up to thoroughly discuss the upcoming weekend’s training on pancreatic surgery with the general surgery’s He Zhiqian, when he suddenly heard a commotion inside the room, much like the sound of an argunt.
So he couldn’t help but push the door open and walk in.
He discovered that it wasn’t anyone else but the directors of the general surgery departnt who were watching a surgery and engaged in heated discussion.
Each of them was even speaking with flushed faces, their expressions and deanor filled with excitent.
Seeing soone enter, everyone coughed and quickly quieted down.
After all, dirty laundry is not to be aired in public.
“How co Director Qiao is here?” He Zhiqian coughed and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Qiao Cheng’an smiled, “Director He, indeed, there is sothing I need to discuss with the general surgery departnt.”
Having said that, Qiao Cheng’an explained the matter regarding the training on pancreatic surgery.
“The training next weekend might require Director He to be the closing act, and we also need a few other directors to share their experiences.”
After hearing what Qiao Cheng’an had said, the general surgery departnt instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Qiao Cheng’an with odd expressions on their faces, unable to resist asking, “Director Qiao, who from your departnt… has signed up?”
Qiao Cheng’an, seeing this strange scenario, was sowhat bewildered, “So far, only Chen Cang and Li Yue have signed up; the rest have yet to start.”
Upon hearing Qiao Cheng’an’s words, He Zhiqian couldn’t help but laugh, “With Doctor Chen in the picture, is there even an issue!”
The people around also nodded their agreent, “Exactly, with Doctor Chen taking part, he alone could hold up the entire training, let alone a single lecture.”
Qiao Cheng’an felt his mind wasn’t quite catching up!
What on earth was going on?
Had these people lost their minds?
Could it be… Chen Cang had offended the general surgery departnt?
With this in mind, Qiao Cheng’an hastily coughed and said with a smile, “Director He, what do you an? I don’t understand.”
“This training still needs everyone’s effort to succeed. After all, Chen Cang is rather young and we still need to have you seat as the concluding consultant!”
“Director He, you are the vice president of our general surgery society, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?”
He Zhiqian’s smile beca strained on his face.
He really wanted to refuse!
Precisely because he was the vice president of the general surgery society, the pressure was greater, and the burden of maintaining his status was heavy.
After all, in a head-to-head competition, the superior and inferior are imdiately clear!
If he ended up being outperford by Chen Cang, how embarrassing that would be.
Although he knew that losing was not shaful, others didn’t know that.
If it got out that He Zhiqian, the distinguished vice president of the general surgery society, had been bested by a thirty-year-old young doctor, and the key fact being that there was no way to refute it, as it was the truth!
How embarrassing that would be!
Thinking this, He Zhiqian turned to look at the other directors, “Director Zhao, why don’t you go?”
Director Zhao suddenly looked embarrassed, “I… I might have sothing on that day, Director Yang, why don’t you go?”
The evasion continued, as no one was willing to go!
Qiao Cheng’an was getting a bit angry.
How could this group of people be so unable to differentiate public from private matters?
No matter how much Chen Cang had offended them, this wasn’t the way to behave, was it?
With that thought, Qiao Cheng’an’s usually smiling face suddenly grew stern, “This is a directive from the Health Commission, and I will communicate with the dean about it. If you have grievances against Chen Cang, we can discuss them, even replace him, but it’s inappropriate for you to keep making excuses and declining, isn’t it?”
He simply hadn’t expected the general surgery departnt to make such excuses, clearly not giving face to his departnt.
Seeing Qiao Cheng’an angry, He Zhiqian was taken aback and quickly intervened, saying, “Director Qiao, you’ve misunderstood us, we don’t have any issues with Doctor Chen, it’s just… sigh!”
“Director Qiao, we are not unwilling to go, but the pressure is just too great.”
Qiao Cheng’an’s curiosity was piqued.
“Director He, just tell straight,” he said.
He Zhiqian couldn’t help but shake his head, “Just watch this surgery and you’ll understand.”
Saying this, He Zhiqian had soone replay the surgery video.
Watching the start of the surgery and the intra-abdominal view, Qiao Cheng’an was startled.
How could this abdon be in such bad shape?
“What surgery is this?” Qiao Cheng’an asked.
“Crohn’s disease with bowel obstruction, plus acute pancreatitis, undergoing a pancreatoduodenectomy and pancreaticogastrostomy,” He Zhiqian said directly.
As soon as Qiao Cheng’an heard it, it all suddenly seed very familiar!
So he continued to watch.
And as he watched, Qiao Cheng’an couldn’t take his eyes away from the screen, occasionally uttering exclamations of wonder.
After a long while, the surgery finally ended!
He remarked in awe, “My goodness… such an impressive surgery. Whose surgery is this?”
He Zhiqian answered, “This is a surgery video sent over from the Xiehe general surgery departnt today.”
When Qiao Cheng’an heard it was from the Xiehe general surgery departnt, he readily expressed his admiration, “It must be Director Sun Guangyu then, but he has beco even more skilled. If we could get him to do this training, I believe the results would be very good!”
“But what does this have to do with our training?”
At that question, the others fell silent.
He Zhiqian looked at Qiao Cheng’an, “This surgery wasn’t done by Director Sun. Director Sun only handled the colon surgery; the pancreatic surgery above was done by Chen Cang!”
Qiao Cheng’an: “Oh… oh? Who?”
He Zhiqian: “Doctor Chen Cang, from your departnt.”
It took a mont for Qiao Cheng’an to respond, and upon hearing Chen Cang’s na, he was dumbstruck.
Then it clicked!
No wonder the na of the surgery sounded so familiar.
It was Chen Cang!
Indeed, what he said yesterday afternoon about going to Xiehe for surgery was true, not a deception; Qiao Cheng’an hadn’t expected Doctor Chen to have such deeply concealed skills!
Chen Cang was remarkably talented.
And importantly, he was exceptionally understated about it.
With these thoughts, Qiao Cheng’an felt both shock and delight.
With Chen Cang taking part, the training work would surely be completed smoothly.
But still…
He needed the likes of He Zhiqian to provide support.
“Director He, you can’t let your pride get in the way!
We must prioritize the big picture! After all, the importance of training work is significant. Moreover, we can let Chen Cang take the stage last, what do you think?”
“Are we really going to let others say that our capital ergency center has run out of people?”
He Zhiqian couldn’t help but sigh, for he knew now that this event was inescapable.
Whether he went willingly or not, he had to go!
At this mont, He Zhiqian suddenly felt a chilly wind blowing as if conveying the somber mood before he bid farewell, possibly never to return.
