Ding! Daily task completed, reward obtained: Advanced Gallbladder Removal
Surgery.]
Upon hearing the notification, Chen Cang immediately felt a surge of joy! Receiving gallbladder removal surgery as a reward, how could he not be happy?
However, just as Chen Cang was about to claim his reward, the system’s prompt sounded again.
He realized…
He had gotten excited a bit too early…
[Gallbladder Removal Surgery. Advanced, Special Effect: Obtain Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Advanced).]
Hahaha, he should be twenty times happier!
After all, it’s a buy one, get one free deal—a double blessing.
And there are such good things!
Gallbladder removal surgery is somewhat different from appendix removal
surgery.
These years, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the “gold standard” for treating gallbladder stones, and open surgery is only used as a remedy when accurate surgery cannot be performed laparoscopically.
Who would have thought that a gallbladder removal surgery would come with
the skill of laparoscopic cholecystectomy by default?
How could this not make Chen Cang happy and excited?
But it also served as a warning to Chen Cang, not to get too happy too soon in
the future.
After all, one must remain low-key.
The good things only just arrived!
Yo, that rhymed again.
However, Chen Cang was truly happy because if you only know the conventional open gallbladder removal surgery now, you really can’t make it in a big hospital, where laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the mainstream method and the gold standard.
You don’t know how to do it?
Then sorry, step aside, let me be the chief surgeon, and you can be the assistant!
Just as Chen Cang was really about to push the door and leave, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
“Xiao Chen, wait a moment.”
Chen Cang turned around and found it was Liu Siqi.
“Dean Liu? Hello.”
Liu Siqi smiled and nodded, “Come here, Xiao Chen, I have a minor issue to ask
you about, come and sit.”
After Chen Cang went over, he sat down across from a few people.
Qian Liang said, “Doctor Chen, we have a few questions about the surgery just now and would like to discuss with you, do you have time?”
Chen Cang, having mingled in surgery, was of course familiar with Qian Liang’s reputation. Hearing Qian Liang’s words, he humbly replied, “Director Qian, you flatter me, please ask anything you like.”
Qian Liang nodded, his smile faded, and his face instantly took on a serious academic expression, “Primarily three questions, the first one is how did you discover that the first patient had an ectopic appendix outside the peritoneum?”
Without hesitation, Chen Cang directly said, “The medical record is the doctor’s most accurate record of a patient’s condition, and the consultation provides firsthand information. I analyzed the medical record and noticed some peculiarities. Then, upon palpating the patient’s abdomen, I confirmed my suspicion. This is also why I made an incision of about 4cm in the abdomen. As medical workers, we must be fully prepared before starting an operation to prevent any unforeseeable issues.”
Qian Liang clapped his hands in approval, “Very good,” but his face turned stern, and he pressed on with an imposing question, “Excellent! Since you know that safety is the most important thing for medical workers, then… the second question, in the second surgery, a purulent appendicitis isn’t suitable for a small-incision appendectomy. Why did you choose to use it? Didn’t you know that would increase the patient’s risk?”
Chen Cang saw Qian Liang with a stern face asking seriously, but he wasn’t too scared; instead, he replied with a smile, “I have modified the small-incision appendectomy technique. I was absolutely confident with purulent appendicitis, so I chose the small-incision approach.”
With that, the office suddenly quieted down!
He improved the small-incision appendectomy technique?
Chen Cang was speaking of his own improvements!
How old was he?
To be able to improve a surgical technique!
At the thought, everyone’s brows knitted together, and their breathing grew rapid.
Is this what a genius looks like?
So young and already improving surgical techniques!
The future… holds great promise!
With this, everyone couldn’t help but look at Chen Cang with new respect!
After all, everyone initially thought Chen Cang was just learning someone else’s surgery, but now they realized… it was an original creation.
The difference is huge!
However, Qian Liang wasn’t the least bit surprised; instead, he grew even more serious. He stood up, staring at Chen Cang, and asked word by word, “Improvement? Are you sure it’s an improvement? Not a mistake? Do you have data to prove its feasibility? Do you have analysis to prove your accuracy?” “In medical work, any so-called improvement without theoretical significance must rely on data obtained from practice for analysis. Have you conducted clinical trials? Have you done data analysis? Have you discussed this with your mentor?”
A barrage of questions overwhelmed Chen Cang with Qian Liang’s imposing manner!
What he was trying to do was to instill in Chen Cang the rigor that a medical worker should possess.
Medicine is a science!
And it is even more rigorous than the ordinary sciences!
Although Qian Liang didn’t know Chen Cang well, he could sense a hint of raw, untamed skill in Chen Cang’s techniques.
This is professionalism!
If Chen Cang wanted to go further in this field, he would have to learn many things.
It must be said that as the President of the Dongyang Provincial Surgical Association and the Chairman of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Qian Liang represented the authority in Dongyang Province’s surgery.
Qian Liang acted this way because he appreciated Chen Cang!
He wouldn’t bother saying an extra word to just anyone; after seeing Chen Cang’s surgery, his heart set on nurturing talent, of course, he would educate him thoroughly.
He may be an uncut jade, but he still needs sculpting!
Chen Cang was self-taught and lacked the rigor of someone who came from a formal medical background, which Qian Liang pointed out in one go.
Chen Cang took a deep breath, reflecting on Qian Liang’s words in his mind, understanding that Qian Liang wasn’t trying to suppress him but was deliberately giving him pointers. Qian Liang’s message was, your improved surgical technique, although undoubtedly effective, needs to be proven with clinical data. In plain terms, you need to use surgical data to publish a high- quality paper, preferably one that can make it into the inner circle!
Surgery is, in fact, a circle!
You need the recognition of others to enter it.
So, Qian Liang’s words were clear-he was urging Chen Cang to refine his new technique and write an excellent paper!
He looked up and bowed sincerely, “Thankyou, Teacher Qian, for your guidance. I understand.”
As soon as he spoke, the people around him laughed.
They were well aware of Qian Liang’s intentions.
It wasn’t to make things difficult for a youngster; his actions were meant to provide insights and even indicated an inclination to foster talent.
As expected.
At that moment, Qian Liang had lost his former imposing attitude and instead wore a pleasant and smiling face, nodding, “Third question, and the last one: Which school did you graduate from, and who was your mentor?”
Taken aback, Chen Cang blushed slightly-for, after all, his undergraduate background was not something to boast about, and he smiled awkwardly, “I graduated from Dongyang Medical University, under… Chen Bingsheng!” Qian Liang and others exchanged glances. Dongyang Medical University was Dongyang Province Medical University, where Qian Liang was vice president. But who was Chen Bingsheng? Why didn’t they recognize the name?
After discussing among themselves for a while, they still couldn’t identify who Chen Bingsheng was—what a mysterious figure to have taught such an outstanding student.
Hao Xuliang happened to walk in and said, “Chen Bingsheng is a doctor in our emergency department.”
With this revelation, everyone slapped their foreheads.
Liu Siqi suddenly remembered something: “You didn’t pursue graduate studies, did you?”
Chen Cang nodded, speaking the truth, “Um, after graduating with my ? bachelor’s degree from Dongyang Medical University, I started working.
Upon hearing this, they fell silent.
A bachelor’s-degree holder, who might not even have experienced surgery during his college days, was able to improve surgical techniques-how could he not be more outstanding than many experts?
A talent!
No!
He should be called a genius!
After listening, Qian Liang’s eyes sparkled as he considered, and after half a minute suddenly said, “After you go back, if you have time, write up the paper and let me take a look.”
Chen Cang was startled, then saw a question mark appear above Qian Liang s head!
[Ding! Mentorship quest triggered. Qian Liang’s challenge: Write and publish an excellent surgical paper within a set timeframe, gain Qian Liang’s approval, and activate the mentorship quest.]
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Cang’s expression grew excited!
As a medical practitioner, one should study the classics, seek a distinguished mentor, and gain extensive clinical experience!
Now, the appearance of Qian Liang laid out a new magnificent path before Chen Cang!
