Chapter 23: Awesome!
Zhang Keqin’s face changed!
Oh God, you must be kidding me, right?
After so much effort, I brought in two provincial experts, and you let that young doctor do it!
I… What the hell was I even thinking…
With a glimmer of hope, Zhang Keqin cautiously asked, “Is it that young man? The tall, fair and clean-looking one?”
An Yanjun nodded his head.
It’s over!
Zhang Keqin felt like dying.
Qin Xiaoyuan’s face also darkened instantly, what a mess this turned out to be.
An Yanjun quickly explained, “Director Qin, don’t worry, Chen Cang is quite skilled, with a solid foundation. I’ve seen it myself.”
Director Qin shook his head and directly asked, “Which operating room, take us there.”
An Yanjun coughed and, with a barely audible tone and volume, said, “It’s not in an operating room, it’s in the treatment room!”
An Yanjun was going insane inside, thinking, This kid, oh old Chen, you better come and take care of this. Three days without a beating, and it’s to the roof to strip tiles. This time the trouble is going be big!
Indeed, An Yanjun’s words completely silenced the surroundings.
It’s not just a needle drop, if there were a piece of paper here, An Yanjun felt he could even draw his own electrocardiogram!
Silence!
Suffocation!
At this moment, Director Qin said in a deep voice, “Nonsense! Such a major surgery is done in the treatment room, is this your emergency department’s attitude?”
An Yanjun sighed and thought of Chen Cang, who indeed wasn’t bad, so he helped to explain, “Director, the emergency department’s operating rooms are limited. Tendon suturing is commonly done in the treatment room.”
Zhang Keqin’s heart shattered!
My Wu Gang!
You tell me, you weren’t killed by the robbers, but now you’re going to fold at the hands of this young doctor.
This old man…
Liu Siqi coughed, breaking the awkwardness, “Let’s go now and see if we’re still in time.”
Tan Zhonglin nodded, but inwardly he remarked, “Secondary tendon damage, the chance of adhesion will be higher.”
The head nurse also saw Director Qin coming, and quickly followed, “Director Qin, what brings you here?”
Qin Xiaoyuan replied, “Hmm, I’m here to see a patient.”
An Yanjun asked, “Which treatment room is Chen Cang in?”
Tian Lanxiang replied, “In treatment room three, he’s been in there for an hour, should be coming out soon, I guess.”
At these words, everyone’s heart sank.
It’s finished!
After entering through the door, Chen Cang was finishing up the skin suturing, already near the end.
Qin Yue turned her head and was taken aback seeing so many people, “Director An… Director Qin? What are you all doing here?”
As a doctor of this department, An Yanjun quickly asked, “How’s the patient?”
Chen Cang smiled faintly, tying off the final knot, “Done, all finished!”
Upon hearing this, everyone around immediately entered.
Wu Gang looked up and smiled, “Captain, I’m fine.”
Zhang Keqin glared at Wu Gang, “Fine? You say you’re fine, and that’s it?”
An Yanjun pulled Chen Cang aside and whispered in the corner, “Kid, you’ve caused a disaster. Do you know who he is? Blindly acting! Always showing off!”
Chen Cang was startled, “I know, a police officer.”
An Yanjun slapped his forehead and said softly, “That’s not what I meant. People are sensitive nowadays, and you still dared to take on the case. Don’t you know there are so many potential complications after tendon sutures? You’re always taking on these issues yourself. Are you sick?”
Chen Cang smiled faintly, “The surgery went quite well.”
The anesthesia was almost worn off. Chen Cang turned around and said to Wu Gang, “Move your fingers a little and feel it.”
Wu Gang nodded, lifted his hand, and moved it slightly, “Eh? It’s true! It feels much better, I can move my hand!”
“Haha, Captain, my hand isn’t ruined, I can still shoot!…”
Chen Cang shook his head, “You need to rest for some time. Don’t move it carelessly. Start gentle joint movements at 3 weeks, and you can resume normal functional exercises after 6 weeks. Moving too early can cause tendon separation or rupture, and moving too late can lead to adhesions.”
Wu Gang nodded, “Thank you, Doctor Chen!”
Afterward, Chen Cang helped Wu Gang stabilize his limb, keeping the wrist at a relaxed position for the tendons and said, “Come back in 2 weeks to remove the skin sutures, and after 6 weeks to remove the wire.”
Zhang Keqin watched Wu Gang nervously, “Are you really okay?”
Wu Gang nodded, “Really, I’m fine!”
The other bigwigs stood there in astonishment, not knowing what to do.
Chen Cang also washed his hands and said, “Good to see you, Director Qin.”
An Yanjun quickly introduced him, “Chen, this is Tan Zhonglin, the Director of Orthopedic Hand Surgery at Provincial People’s Hospital, and this is Liu Siqi, the Chief of General Surgery and Vice President of Provincial People’s Hospital.”
Although Chen Cang had not interacted with them before, he had attended the annual meeting where these two were the speakers on stage!
He promptly greeted them, “Good to meet you, Director Liu. I’ve long admired your work, I’ve read your papers, and Director Tan, I’m in awe of your insights on tendon suturing! Honored to meet both of you.”
[Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan’s approval -5]
[Ding! Zhang Keqin’s approval -10]
[Ding! Liu Siqi’s approval -5]
[Ding! Tan Zhonglin’s approval -5]
Chen Cang was dumbfounded!
What the hell…
Did my flattery backfire?
Isn’t that even better?
What heinous crime have I committed to see a continuous drop in approval ratings?
Qin Xiaoyuan stepped forward, “Doctor Chen, why did you decide to perform Wu Gang’s surgery on your own initiative?”
Chen Cang was taken aback, so that was the issue.
Chen Cang felt he had done nothing wrong.
“The patient’s hand blood supply was getting worse, delaying tendon suturing is not conducive to the hand’s recovery. Moreover, a prolonged lack of blood supply would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of nerve recovery. At that time, I assessed the patient’s condition as needing surgery, and as the on-duty doctor, after informing the patient of his condition and getting his consent for the operation including a signed informed consent form, I proceeded with the surgery!”
Qin Yue was stunned, wow, a steel-hearted straight man who’s not afraid of authority?
This series of rational and well-founded statements left Director Qin speechless for a moment!
Inwardly Qin Yue thought: Chen Cang is awesome!
Qin Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, damn it, you’re lecturing me on regulations!
“After assessing the patient’s condition, it was a highly complex case. Didn’t you consider that? What if it had failed?”
Chen Cang replied, “Surgery comes with risks and limitations, it’s a normal procedure.”
Qin Xiaoyuan was startled, damn, do you even want to continue working here? Calm down, take another deep breath before speaking.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyuan about to argue further, Chen Cang instantly retorted, “I know I should have communicated with the family, but the patient insisted on having the surgery. As a medical professional, I can’t deny a patient treatment, and furthermore… I was absolutely confident in the surgery!”
The atmosphere seized up for a moment!
Qin Yue, the loyal follower, thought: Chen Cang is incredible!
Everyone looked at this “promising young man” with a sense of melancholy.
Seeing Director Qin’s eyelids twitch, Qin Yue made a decisive comment, “Exactly! The surgery was very successful. Everyone can watch the operation video; we have recordings in our treatment room.”
