Chapter 223: 224: Unsteady Taoist Heart (2/3 additional for Alliance Hierarch Ban Shi Xian Yuan)
Walking side by side with Chen Cang, Jing Ran couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor Chen, where did you learn to deal with pulmonary hydatid cysts?”
Chen Cang pondered, “Are you talking about surgery or diagnosis?”
Jing Ran replied, “Both, but let’s start with diagnosis. I find that you seem very proficient with X-ray CT and ultrasound. How did you manage that?”
Chen Cang gave a cough, “I spent two months in the radiology department, and one month in the ultrasound room.”
Jing Ran was immediately at a loss for words and suddenly didn’t feel like talking to Chen Cang anymore.
Who tries to fob someone off like that?
Do you think I’m a fool?
However, looking into Chen Cang’s determined eyes, Jing Ran… still didn’t believe him!
That’s just impossible!
Are you fucking kidding me? You’re better than my postdoc classmates in just one month?
Jing Ran felt that Chen Cang was either bragging or brushing him off.
Later, while washing his hands, Jing Ran still couldn’t hold back and cautiously asked, “Doctor Chen, then where did you learn how to remove pulmonary hydatid cysts?”
Chen Cang replied, “I just allocated 10 skill points and directly reached advanced level!”
[Pulmonary Hydatid Cyst Removal Surgery: Advanced, Special Effect: Stability: (The cyst wall is relatively thin, often located deeper within the lungs with poor exposure, prone to rupture. Skillful techniques can make the cyst removal process as steady as Mount Tai.)]
Chen Cang was very pleased with this skill, as it was the result of hundreds of hours of continuous study.
Hearing Jing Ran’s question, Chen Cang sighed, “During my internship, I spent a month in the thoracic surgery department.”
Jing Ran thought, should I say the mmp phrase or not?
I treated you like a friend, and you treat me like an idiot, is that appropriate?
Jing Ran felt some anger, swearing to himself to expose Chen Cang’s hypocrisy, “Doctor Chen, you were going to the orientation ceremony today to make a speech, right?”
Chen Cang was startled, “Today is the start of graduate school, and I went to the auditorium to listen to your speech, really, I’m not lying to you. Don’t think I’m bragging, everything I said is true!”
Qian Liang didn’t know when he had started following them and said in a faint voice.
“That’s right, Doctor Jing, Chen really is a new first-year graduate student at our school this year, specializing in thoracic surgery.”
Suddenly, Jing Ran discovered that his perfected, to the level of perfection, the “Seven steps of handwashing” somehow got stuck at the sixth step and he couldn’t move on.
He stared deeply at Chen Cang: You’ve shaken my convictions!
Chen Cang sighed and looked at Jing Ran, “Be content, I haven’t destroyed your foundation yet!”
The exchange of glances between the two caught Qian Liang’s attention, making him marvel at what he presumed to be a mutual understanding.
As Qian Liang was washing his hands, the time it took to perform the Seven Steps of Handwashing, a good poem came to mind.
A hero has three helpers
A fence has three stakes
Three people take on one operation
In the end, it all depends on Chen Cang.
Ah… in the past Cao Zhi could write a poem in seven steps, and today I, Qian someone, can also write a poem while performing the Seven Steps of Handwashing.
At this time, Wei Zhi and Zhang Peiyi also arrived, just about to enter when suddenly Wei Zhi said, “Director, turn on the camera!”
Zhang Peiyi was taken aback, “Why?”
Wei Zhi replied, “I witnessed one of Chen Cang’s surgeries last time, and it was truly outstanding. I reckon there will be more good stuff today. Plus, such special cases are really rare; it would be good to keep a record for our doctors to learn from.”
Zhang Peiyi hesitated, “Director Wei, isn’t that a bit much? However talented Chen Cang might be, it’s not to that extent, right? Such surgeries are rare here, but we could totally share and learn from other hospitals!”
Wei Zhi shook his head, “You don’t understand; you will soon!”
…
…
Jing Ran didn’t know why, but before the surgery even began, he suddenly felt a lack of confidence.
He felt his Dao heart was influenced by the momentum from earlier.
Watching Chen Cang go to the bottom lane alone without selling any equipment, Jing Ran hesitated, wondering whether he should follow with some support gear.
At this moment, he saw Director Wei unexpectedly stand by Chen Cang’s side, running together to the bottom lane.
Jing Ran sighed, decided to jungle, and planned to gank the bottom lane more later.
After the anesthesia was in place, the surgery was ready to begin!
Chen Cang drew the boundaries for the surgery and determined the incision site.
He reached for the scalpel and started the procedure step by step, following the pre-drawn area.
As the chest wall was opened layer by layer, everyone couldn’t help but feel worried and tense.
Because they had never actually seen a hydatid cyst in the lungs!
Thinking of the disgusting hydatid cysts, everyone couldn’t help but grow eager.
Jing Ran turned and said, “Five large gauze pads, soaked in saline for me.”
Just as Chen Cang was about to put down the knife, he saw Jing Ran using large gauze pads to elevate the diseased lung as much as possible, bringing the cyst closer to or beyond one end of the incision.
Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, looking at Jing Ran with admiration and couldn’t help but compliment, “Not bad.”
Jing Ran was startled, the compliment sounded strange, but… why did he feel a little happy being praised by Chen Cang?
Jing Ran sighed, and the surgery continued.
Wei Zhi couldn’t resist asking, “Why elevate it?”
Wei Zhi found ADC Chen Cang calmly farming and ignoring him, while jungler Jing Ran said, “This way, the lung hydatid cyst can be fully exposed, making it easier to open the outer layer later.”
“When cutting the outer layer, you have to stop ventilation, and what’s extremely crucial is to keep it steady!”
At that moment, Chen Cang turned to the anesthesiologist and said, “Stop the breathing.”
The anesthesiologist nodded.
Now the surgery had reached a critical point.
As breathing movements occur, the lungs are constantly contracting, even under anesthesia.
The opening of the outer layer needs to be done with very steady technique, which requires pausing the breathing.
Many might ask, wouldn’t pausing breathing cause oxygen shortage?
With today’s advanced equipment, the heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation can be monitored through sensors on the finger.
Some procedures continue for several minutes, and there has never been a problem with blood oxygen saturation.
Pausing breathing is not a new technique; it has over a hundred years of foundation. Back then, this method was discovered, and people only needed to deliver oxygen deep into the lungs to be utilized by the body; we don’t need to keep breathing continuously.
In that moment, Chen Cang couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths himself.
The anesthesiologist said, “Ready.”
Chen Cang nodded, ready to begin the operation.
At this time, Jing Ran also carefully avoided any disturbance and prepared for everything.
Because what was coming next in the surgery was very critical.
But what Chen Cang saw was not just that.
[Ding! Lung Hydatid Cyst Monster, lv51, rare creature.]
This was the first time Chen Cang encountered a creature above level 50, and it was truly a monster this time.
A parasite!
