BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69: Medicine Does Not Allow for Show-Off Skills!
The surgery began, all eyes were on it!
in the office outside, several people who were eagerly chatting suddenly heard
Liu Siqi exclaim, “It’s starting, it’s starting!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused intently on the proceedings, like kindergarten children sitting up with ears pricked as their teacher begins a lesson.
In reality, operating rooms one and two had been active for two minutes already, but nobody had been watching seriously, chatting and laughing instead.
It wasn’t that they weren’t serious, it was just that this group of old hands only needed a few glances at a common surgery, after all, there wasn’t much to see in such minor procedures!
They were well aware of the skill level of the surgeons, so naturally, there
wouldn’t be much variation.
However, it was only Chen Cang in operating room three who left the five people present puzzled and full of curiosity!
Liu Siqi, seeing everyone eyeing Chen Cang like a tiger watching its prey, couldn’t help thinking that they only knew Chen Cang was good at appendectomies, little did they know his tendon suturing was even better!
With this thought, Liu Siqi made up his mind that after the surgery was finished, he definitely needed to have a good talk with Chen Cang and invite him to the Provincial People’s Hospital.
After all, such excellent talent was truly rare!
But then Liu Siqi suddenly realized… that today was actually about evaluating Chen Cang, it seemed that Director Qin from the Second Provincial Hospital wasn’t a mediocrity either, he had also noticed Chen Cang’s capabilities.
What a dilemma-
Should he give him a zero?
That is the question!
He glanced at the scoring section that required the examiner’s signature and suddenly felt that this real-name scoring system was very unreasonable!
The surgery began, and this time Chen Cang had already made up his mind to try the “modified small incision appendectomy”!
The scalpel traced across the skin, delivering a familiar sensation to him.
Make the incision!
A precise 1.5cm cut appeared!
Bluntly separating the muscle, opening the peritoneum…
Suddenly, a song came to Chen Gang’s mind.
If I could peel your skin layer by layer, separating your muscle,
I would find, I would be surprised,
Your appendix is not beautiful at all!
[Suppurative appendix monster, lvi8.]
Back in the office, Qian Liang’s face suddenly tensed, “The kid is too reckless!”
Everyone was startled!
“What do you mean?”
Qian Liang spoke earnestly, “This time he’s planning on a small incision appendectomy, but this patient has suppurative appendicitis. The limited view from the small incision is a significant problem and moreover…
“He’s somewhat showing off his skill!”
As these words were spoken, everyone’s brows slightly furrowed.
This was not a good sign.
The last thing medical practitioners want is to show off.
Medicine is precise, treating and saving lives is the utmost importance, safety first!
At this moment, they felt Chen Cang was clearly at risk of “showing off”.
This is surgery!
Not a performance!
No one should aim to perform when it comes to surgery!
At this moment, even though the various directors had previously admired Chen Cang, they couldn’t help but frown, feeling increasingly displeased.
For them, any disrespect and disregard for life was the greatest stain and shame for a doctor.
Thinking this, Qian Liang picked up his pen to score.
But he couldn’t bring himself to give a low score, yet he couldn’t possibly give a high one either, indeed, Chen Cang deserved a memorable lesson.
He hesitated!
It wasn’t just him hesitating, everyone around was hesitating.
Even Liu Siqi was somewhat hesitant!
How many points?
Everyone furrowed their brows, it really was difficult.
Young people with such abilities often tend to be arrogant, but while other professions can boast and show off, medicine alone, especially emergency surgery where life hangs by a thread, always puts safety first.
What is showing off?
Showoff doesn’t mean you can’t showcase your skills; it refers to making irrational choices in pursuit of some kind of performance effect when you are not confident.
This is called showing off.
in the eyes of Qian Liang and the others, what Chen Cang did was showing off!
That’s because within the limitations of the laparoscopic appendectomy, suppurative appendicitis is a clear difficulty. The latest medical guidelines for laparoscopic appendectomy do not include suppurative appendicitis.
This is precisely because a small incision cannot entirely solve this problem!
Yet, Chen Cang chose this method to deal with such a surgery.
Too reckless!
Too inconsiderate of the bigger picture!
At that moment, Qian Liang hesitated briefly and decided to give this outstanding young man a chance. So he said, “If… he expands the incision at this time, I think it would be forgivable, after all… he’s young!
The others also nodded in agreement.
But!
Chen Cang did not do so.
On the contrary, he began to move the operating table, nearly a 30-degree pivot, which allowed Chen Cang to perform various surgical maneuvers through a limited field of vision.
He then changed the angle of the operating table by another 15 degrees.
At the same time, he clamped the appendix with forceps in his left hand and held up the peritoneum with the retractor in his right, while his right ring finger lifted the skin, instantly enlarging the field of view for the surgery.
Chen Gang’s operation proceeded flawlessly!
At this moment, the office fell utterly silent!
Qian Liang stood up, his eyes wide open, and in an instant, raised his right hand, pointing at the operation speechless!
It took a while before he could say a word, “This… this is not showing off! This kid… this kid is simply a genius; he’s actually improved the appendectomy for small incisions! I… I can’t believe it! How is this possible?”
Not just Qian Liang!
The others also exclaimed in astonishment: I can’t believe it, filled with emotion!
Although this phrase is only two words, it profoundly expresses the shock and sentiment of those involved, reflecting the mental transition from doubt to surprise to enlightenment, with suspense yet delightful surprise. Moreover, placing “I can’t believe it” at the end of the sentence, coupled with the emotional finish, can be considered the crowning touch, a stroke of genius that imbues the scene with profound implications, matching the earlier disdain for showing off with a twist!
It sparked boundless imagination and a sense of sheer naturalness in everyone!
All the people took a deep breath!
Overwhelmed with emotions!
Struggling to regain composure for a long time!
Qian Liang’s chest heaved up and down, as if he had an endless stream of words he wanted to blurt out quickly!
After a while, he couldn’t help but say, “This young man is tremendously talented! The ability to restore life with a wave of the hand, his craftsmanship is simply divine! Such a simple appendectomy, yet he achieved such an outstanding level, I’m sold!”
“Hahaha! Fantastic, this idea is simply brilliant, this kid is a talent! I want to poach him and have him by my side!”
As soon as these words came out!
The eyes of those around him sparkled with eagerness!
What a great idea!
That Qian is indeed brainless for spilling such news; we all prefer to move in silently, without calling unnecessary attention!
Watching the predatory looks from his colleagues, Liu Siqi’s feelings grew more complicated. Staring at Chen Cang sewing up the abdomen on the screen, he cursed under his breath: Can’t you keep a low profile? Must you make it so everyone knows how awesome you are?
Alas…
Nowhe had done it!
Watching the department heads and directors eyeing Chen Cang with zeal, Liu Siqi felt a pang in his kidneys.
This guy, it’s going to be difficult for him…
After two routine surgeries, the third specialized operation was actually not that significant.
But everyone still watched patiently, since they were all very interested in Chen Cang and wanted to know what he was best at.
The third patient had a flexor pollicis longus tendon cut by a knife-a simple case.
And since the procedure was carried out in the operating room, everyone assumed that Chen Cang would quickly and decisively stitch it up without much fuss.
Unfortunately!
They discovered that Chen Cang observed carefully for quite a while, then began sewing with meticulous care.
Chen Cang knew tendon repair had to be handled with caution and could not be taken lightly. As his tendon suturing reached a master level, he became even more aware of how the quality of tendon suturing directly affected recovery later on.
Liu Siqi watched the most intently because he knew the level of Chen Gang’s skill.
But…
If you don’t witness it, you wouldn’t know; once you see it, it’s startling. This kid, he had improved again!
