Chapter 322: 323: Losing to My Student, This Must Be Interesting
It was precisely because this surgery was so difficult that it… was also the thing everyone worried about the most.
An intern, can he handle it?
Has the director gone mad?
Letting an intern take the stage?!
Even Ge Huai felt incredibly conflicted inside.
Why would that be?
To be honest, he got stage fright.
As a cardiothoracic surgeon, Ge Huai experienced stage fright just moments ago.
He was afraid!
The mission was crucial, time was tight, the risks were high, and the stakes were equally great. Just one slip-up could lead to an irreversible failure for the patient.
That is, death!
Therefore, there was no room for failure; it had to be done right.
But…
Even his own mentor, Director Xia and his superior, Director Meng had hesitated, let alone himself.
Yet, he wanted to step up!
After all, this was his moment to prove himself, as well as a glorious moment of life-saving.
If the shining moment for a summoner is on the stage at the WCG, then for a surgeon, it’s at the operating table where they treat patients and save lives!
However, his thoughts were seen right through by Xia Gaofeng!
Xia Gaofeng knew his own students too well.
Retreating before the operation.
This is taboo!
If you’ve already lost confidence in yourself,
what confidence can you offer to others?
You must not falter!
You are already the last line of defense for the patient’s life; where can you retreat to?
You are their last hope, and if you step back,
Next is the abyss!
…
Ge Huai watched Chen Cang approach the stage, full of confidence, with the high fighting spirit of a war deity!
At that time, Ge Huai looked at Chen Cang with a sense of inexplicable envy.
He was so envious!
He envied Chen Cang’s fearless demeanor and mindset.
Was Chen Cang ignorant of the depth?
Of course not.
His confidence came from trust in his own abilities, from real cases of successive successes and genuine battles in the operating room!
Why did Xia Gaofeng, in the competition between Chen Cang and Ge Huai, deliberately say Ge Huai won, but then privately praise Chen Cang?
The reason was that Xia Gaofeng understood his students all too well.
Ge Huai himself was very ambitious, yet lacked confidence, lacking a certain boldness!
Originally, Xia Gaofeng, to take care of Ge Huai and not discourage him, had hidden the truth.
He did it to help his student!
The teacher knows the student better than a father knows his child.
No matter which teacher, they all sincerely hope their students will stand out and become the new wave pushing the old one forward!
But at this moment, Xia Gaofeng still couldn’t help but sigh.
My student Ge Huai, when will you be able to grow up?
…
…
Looking at Chen Cang’s spirited determination and vibrant appearance, his eyes brimming with confidence.
How wonderful!
That’s how a doctor should be!
Patients wouldn’t want to meet such a doctor, would they?
It’s just like that in life; when you go to a doctor, isn’t it to get a definite answer from them?
Patients, those suffering from illness, they need comfort and confidence more than anything.
Not to be fobbed off with your professional knowledge.
Just like when you ask a doctor, “Doctor, can my disease be cured?”
The doctor replies, “Well… it’s hard to say, I’m also not certain… after all… so there’s a fifty percent chance of failure!”
With that, most patients would panic!
But if the doctor says, “There’s a great chance, we have more than fifty percent probability of success, if we work together and cooperate, maybe this rate will be even better!”
With these words, patients immediately trust the doctor and gain confidence in overcoming their disease.
Doctors are truly the last resort for patients!
So as doctors, we must carry ourselves with resounding confidence and guard the last line of defense well.
You may not know, but sometimes doctors wish for your recovery more than your own family does.
When everyone else wants to give up on you, it’s often the doctors who are least willing to do so.
Ge Huai watched Chen Cang, and his heart was truly complex.
Envy!
Great envy!
Truly very envious!
At that moment, he just happened to meet Xia Gaofeng’s gaze, and Ge Huai was all too clear about the meaning in those eyes.
He felt unparalleled shame!
Regret!
Letdown!
All sorts of emotions were building up in his heart, and Ge Huai was very unwilling to accept them.
Why be a coward?
You, a Ph.D. holder with such clinical experience in suturing, having improved for a year at Xiehe and another year at the external cardiac hospital, aren’t you respected everywhere you go?
But why don’t you dare shoulder the heavy responsibilities?
At that moment, Ge Huai felt as if his immature heart was growing rapidly under Chen Cang’s catalysis.
Sometimes, people need to be compared, so that they will keep on learning.
…
…
This year, Ge Huai was 35 years old and a chief physician.
He had passed the exam for the position of deputy chief physician last year, but the hospital did not hire him.
It was because Xia Gaofeng had refused.
He believed that Ge Huai was not yet up to par.
As a teacher, who doesn’t want to promote their own students?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to make Ge Huai a deputy chief physician?
Of course, it would!
But Xia Gaofeng didn’t want to.
Because compared to promoting Ge Huai, what he wanted to protect more were his patients.
What does it mean to be a deputy chief physician?
This is Dongda First Hospital, a top-level cardiac surgery hospital in the province—its deputy chief physicians are significant figures at any hospital.
But precisely because of this, Xia Gaofeng didn’t want to let Ge Huai be like that.
Because Ge Huai truly didn’t have the ability to become a deputy chief physician.
As a deputy chief physician, you need the ability to handle patients independently, possess the poise to remain calm and collected in emergencies, and have an accommodating and humble heart.
Otherwise, promoting a mediocre doctor is a disrespect to patients.
As a doctor, the first thing to do is to be responsible for the patients!
What a waste!
Doctors understand this.
But some people don’t.
Moreover, in the hospital, oddly enough, those managing medical personnel aren’t medical professionals themselves!
…
…
Chen Cang slowly counted, “1… 2… 3! Tie it off!”
Meng Xi hurriedly tied it off.
The blood flow stopped instantly!
As the most critical hub of human circulation, its stopping meant a lot to everyone present.
Every second was a luxury!
Everyone was hoping that Chen Cang could be a bit quicker.
However, they couldn’t possibly imagine, and dared not think about, what happened next—it was astoundingly shocking!
The suture line rose and fell, and Chen Cang’s needlework was incredibly smooth, appearing almost as if he were knitting a garment, that sort of feeling!
The aorta and blood vessels were much thicker than ordinary ones, which made the difficulty much greater.
But it seemed that Chen Cang wasn’t affected at all.
Suturing!
Speed!
Great speed!
And beside him, watching Chen Cang suture, Meng Xi, Xia Gaofeng, and Ge Huai were struck dumb.
Even Xia Gaofeng and Meng Xi, who had seen much of the world, could not have anticipated Chen Cang stitching with such speed.
How amazing was that?
Accompanying Chen Cang’s call, “Let go!”
Meng Xi quickly loosened the hemostat, and the blood flow resumed at once.
At that moment, everyone present couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
How… fast was that?
Under a minute… right?!
Meng Xi, looking at Chen Cang’s hands, saw nothing but excitement and brilliance. These hands were simply made for a surgeon.
Perhaps, even faster than that man!
In no time, maybe Chen Cang really could surpass him!
Thinking this, Meng Xi couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth lift slightly, revealing a smile different from those of the past.
When the time comes, to be surpassed by my student would be an interesting matter.
ps: There will be two more updates in the afternoon, thanks! Lastly, I’d appreciate your votes.
