When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Duan Bo returned to the department, entered the duty room, and closed the door.

He then dialed Zhang Youfu’s phone.

“Director, they can’t hold on any longer!” Duan Bo said with a smile.

Zhang Youfu perked up at that, “Oh? Ha-ha, so soon? I haven’t even made my move yet! Tell me the details.”

Duan Bo replied, “Today, Shi Na asked me for a consultation. It was only after I went there that I found out the Emergency Department has almost thirty cases of gallbladder diseases! I must admire Director Li Baoshan’s capability!”

Zhang Youfu nodded, understanding Duan Bo’s implication, since the 120 Emergency Center’s patient distribution also followed an arrangement.

Different diseases would be sent to different hospitals, and they would communicate and arrange with each hospital beforehand for patient distribution.

For instance, with myocardial infarctions, the priority might be the Provincial Cardiovascular Hospital and Provincial People’s Hospital, while cerebral hemorrhages might go to Dongda First Hospital, and so on…

Zhang Youfu thought that perhaps Li Baoshan, with the recent establishment of the Emergency Department’s operating room, wanted more traffic and had gotten in touch with the 120 Emergency Center.

Duan Bo continued, “Of course, didn’t you also see outpatients yesterday, Director? I saw that those patients also went to the Emergency Department. Now there are six or seven surgeries the Emergency Department needs to perform in a short period and more than thirty people need to have their surgeries completed within three days!”

“Even if Chen Bingsheng were to work nonstop without eating or drinking, he couldn’t finish them all! I want to see how he wraps this up!”

Zhang Youfu suddenly burst into laughter, but after a moment, he also became serious and said earnestly, “Well, this… Duan Bo, competition aside, you have to be a bit more careful. We are doctors. If the other side can’t hold up, we must protect the patients in time and complete the surgeries promptly. We must not have any accidents.”

Duan Bo nodded, “Rest assured, Director. But… the time is not right yet. We still need to increase their burden, send them more patients. During the hospital meeting, you can talk to the hospital leadership, suggesting that talent in the Emergency Department is scarce, and having so many operating rooms is a sheer waste. We might as well give them to the Surgery Department to assist in Emergency Department surgeries. This would not only allow for effective resource use but also indirectly strengthen the Emergency Department. Wouldn’t that be perfect?”

After listening, Zhang Youfu couldn’t help but laugh.

He was seeing outpatients on Monday morning when it was the busiest. By then, directing patients to the Emergency Department would make everything easier to discuss at the Wednesday hospital meeting!

Meanwhile, in the Emergency Department’s operating room, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system’s notification sound:

“Ding! Ten consecutive operations completed in the operating room, title upgraded from Operating Room Novice to Operating Room Rookie.”

“Operating Room Rookie: 1. Five percent chance to acquire the skills of the chief surgeon while assisting; 2. Double surgery experience when performing as the chief surgeon (can be stacked with other experience-enhancing items).” “Ding! Subsequent mission triggered: Complete one hundred operations to unlock the next title.”

Looking at the rewards, Chen Cang felt somewhat overwhelmed!

A five percent chance had gone up fivefold!

And… the Operating Room Rookie had an incredible attribute compared to the initial Operating Room Novice, doubling the surgery experience!

This was simply too cool.

He still had five Triple Experience Pills, and now with the double privilege, it was like reaching the pinnacle of life.

Perfect!

Chen Cang was increasingly appreciating the benefits brought by the title system.

It was time to earnestly complete the substantial task of treating one hundred patients.

At this moment, Qin Yue and Wang Yong had come down together. Seeing Chen Cang, they greeted him.

Chen Cang smiled, “You’re here, get washed up and change quickly, the next surgery is about to start. We need to complete six surgeries today. Time is tight, and tasks are heavy, so everyone, hurry up!”

A laparoscopic cholecystectomy would take at least an hour and a half at its fastest. It was almost three o’clock, and there were still five surgeries left… It was clear they were in for a late night.

Qin Yue, feeling like a little fan, rolled his eyes upon hearing this, “Ah, there goes my weekend again!”

Wang Yong, on the other hand, was somewhat excited. After all, he was about to be assessed, probably next week or the week after. It wasn’t long now.

So, participating in more surgeries was a good thing for him.

If he could learn the cholecystectomy, he would definitely pass the assessment with flying colors.

Suddenly, Chen Cang remembered there were all surgeries this afternoon and decided to use one of the Triple Experience Pills, getting ready for the operations!

“Ding! Triple experience activated, remaining time 9 hours 59 minutes… Currently as chief surgeon, surgery skill experience bonus +6 times; medical experience bonus +3 times!”

Oh!

So, the experience bonus from the title of best newcomer in the operating room only applies to surgical skill experience, not general medical experience.

But that’s enough.

The surgery began, the patient had acute cholecystitis.

Chen Cang was the chief surgeon, and it was still a laparoscopic operation. This time, when Chen Cang was cutting and drilling, he deliberately chose an angle and force that would be more convenient for suturing when making the incision.

Next was insufflation.

Chen Cang looked at Wang Yong, “In laparoscopic surgery, you must be careful with the force used during puncturing to avoid damaging the organs inside the abdomen… and also, the speed of insufflation to prevent syndromes such as pneumoperitoneum.”

“Laparoscopic surgeries have many complications, and we must try our best to avoid them.”

No sooner had Chen Cang finished speaking!

He had a sudden inspiration.

He remembered something.

That was the modified appendectomy with a small incision.

This surgery is a new technique that emerged to address the shortcomings of both traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Could he draw inspiration from it and modify the technique for small incision gallbladder removal?

With this idea, Chen Cang felt inspired inside!

In due time, he would definitely have to think this over carefully.

For now, he needed to proceed with the surgery in a standard way.

The A port was for inserting the scope.

B and C ports, one for the main operation and one for assistance.

Originally, he wanted Wang Yong to hold the mirror, but after pondering, Chen Cang said to Qin Yue, “Hold the mirror steadily.”

After that, he let Wang Yong do the exploration.

Chen Cang could do it faster himself, but since Wang Yong needed the practice, Chen Cang decided to give him a chance.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong’s eyes lit up, and he started to explore with forceps in his left hand.

Chen Cang, watching the screen, knew the situation inside the abdomen as if it was at his fingertips. He instructed Wang Yong, “Use the toothless grasper to clamp the gallbladder and push it towards the diaphragm, then lift it upwards, that’s right, expose the hepatic portal, see that? That’s the gallbladder triangle area.”

Wang Yong was as cautious as a student facing his teacher. Whatever Chen Cang said, he did.

Moreover, what was most important was that he found Chen Gang’s methods straightforward.

Very succinct!

Not like those tedious and dull teaching videos online.

In those, a single step would be narrated with over a hundred sentences, none of which were the key points, making the viewer want to doze off.

Of course, he didn’t know that this was a summary of Chen Gang’s advanced experience in gallbladder removal surgery, every word a gem!

Meanwhile, beneath her mask, Qin Yue curled her lips: Why should I just hold the mirror, I want to perform surgery too!

After her silent complaint, she glared directly at Chen Cang, who was watching the monitor.

Chen Cang, puzzled, thought Qin Yue was making eyes at him. After considering it, as it’s only polite to return a courtesy, he sent back a glance. Then he sighed deeply, advising earnestly, “Just focus on holding the mirror properly, don’t let your thoughts wander in the operating room.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue instantly boiled with anger.

Seeing this reaction, Chen Gang’s eyes lit up.

If women had such a skill, going forward, Zhang Zhixin would definitely be out of a job.
