When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Xia Gaofeng was left a bit dizzy by what Tao Zi said...

Watching as Tao Zi walked back to where he had come from, Xia Gaofeng immediately followed him.

"Old Tao, what do you mean?"

Tao Zi sighed. What did he mean?

He simply hoped that more people from Dongyang Province would participate in the national competition...

But Chen Cang was an unstable factor indeed.

If it had been a month earlier, Tao Zi might have thought Chen Cang was decent enough to compete for some experience.

But now... he felt that Chen Cang was like a roving BOSS!

In the past few days, he had been performing surgeries with Chen Cang every single day, completing seven or eight ascending aortic surgeries, and he felt that Chen Cang was improving with each one...

Moreover, the more closely he observed, the more he realized that Chen Cang’s surgeries were incredibly skilled.

It gave Tao Zi an illusion that this guy was like the so-called "Son of the Dimension" from some novel...

If Chen Cang happened to meet Guo Yunfei during the provincial competition and directly eliminated him, Director Qin Yueming would probably get drunk and cry again.

Ah...

So troublesome... @@novelbin@@

And there’s Meng Xi, if Chen accidentally eliminated his teacher Meng, it would be quite embarrassing. After all, how awkward would it be for a student to eliminate his own teacher?

It would leave poor Meng Xi with no dignity...

After thinking it over, he still felt it was best to put Chen Cang in Ning Haosen’s group. If he gets eliminated, so be it...

Ah!

I’m exhausted.

With these thoughts, Tao Zi took a deep breath, feeling utterly helpless.

You say I’m considering your best interests, but you don’t accept it. Just wait until you regret it later on...

Seeing that Tao Zi just shook his head without speaking, Xia Gaofeng quickly followed, "Old Tao, speak up!"

Tao Zi countered, "Do you know what level Chen is at now?"

Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, nodded, and said, "I saw him once a week ago, he’s really good, very impressive."

Tao Zi was startled. A week ago?

Hmph...

The surgery I saw the day before yesterday was a big leap from what I saw yesterday. Your week ago, you might want to take a closer look again!

Tao Zi said meaningfully, "I think, whoever is in the same group as Chen is unlucky. Chen could crush them to the point of doubting their existence..."

Xia Gaofeng was stunned, then laughed out loud, "That’s an exaggeration!"

Seeing Xia Gaofeng dismiss it, Tao Zi smiled and said, "Hahaha, just kidding, I’m heading back first!"

Xia Gaofeng nodded and watched Old Tao’s retreating figure, muttering, "This Old Tao... so secretive... weird!"

...

...

As the competition day drew near, Chen Cang saw that he was still two cases short for the ascending aorta surgeries. How could he make them up? Stay tuned for updates on NovelBin.Côm

After much thought, he decided he should visit Teacher Meng more often.

At the same time, he also needed to guide (tiaojiao) Teacher Meng more, striving to complete the task and break into the top three with Teacher Meng!

However, it must be said that Teacher Meng’s ability to learn is there, too. Her presence made Chen Cang reconsider whether being simple-minded and ignorant was really related.

Teacher Meng had also become more sensible. When Chen Cang was instructing her, she no longer resisted because she discovered... rather than struggling pointlessly, it was better to comfortably enjoy the fruits of progress!

Today’s wind was particularly noisy. Chen Cang rode his beautiful bicycle and arrived at Dongda First Hospital early.

Seeing that the competition was the day after tomorrow, he still hadn’t performed a perfect surgery.

At first, Chen Cang always felt that being at a master’s level was enough, but... after seeing that kid Guo Yunfei, Chen Cang wavered!

Upon closer thought, they were all young talents, each with their own specialties...

One Guo Yunfei was enough to leave him fumbling in the dark. If he was so unlucky to stumble upon what the opponent was best at, a careless mistake could cost Meng Xi dearly.

Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a tremendous pressure and hastily ran into the cardiothoracic surgery department, only to find San Bo and Bo Jianming there, but Teacher Meng was not.

Seeing Chen Cang’s arrival, Bo Jianming greeted him, "Chen, I saw the participant list for the national cardiothoracic surgery skills competition came out. Your name’s on it!"

Chen Cang nodded and smiled, "Yeah, my work unit wants me to go out and see the world, to broaden my horizons."

Bo Jianming nodded, "Right, without comparison, there’s no progress. In fact, every time you compete against an opponent, you’ll find your own shortcomings, which is good for self-improvement."

Chen Cang nodded. Indeed, after every victorious competition, loot would drop. This indeed benefited him greatly!

But... if he lost, that would be another story.

Phooey, phooey, phooey!

How could I, Chen Ouhuang, possibly lose?

"By the way, Doctor Ge Huai participated last year, you could ask him for some advice," Bo Jianming suggested.

At last year’s competition, Meng Xi didn’t have time, so Ge Huai participated. Doctor Ge was not useless; at the very least, he advanced through three rounds in the provincial competition before being knocked out by Guo Yunfei in the fourth.

Upon hearing that Chen Cang was going to compete, San Bo was also keen to offer advice.

Ge Huai turned around and shared his experiences earnestly.

He was still very enthusiastic. Even though Chen Cang was a major obstacle between him and Goddess Meng, he was candid, "Chen, the competition is divided into three groups. The first and second rounds aren’t hard, because a lot of participants are from city or county hospitals with varying levels of skill. Facing them, you should have no problem progressing with your skill level.

But those who make it to the third round are pretty formidable, all from top provincial hospitals.

"Each of them has their own unique skills, abundant clinical experience, and a good mindset, so it’s much harder."

Chen Cang nodded, "Right, Teacher Ge, does the surgery skills competition use mannequins? Or live patients..."

Ge Huai immediately laughed, "Of course, they’re models, training models made especially by medical companies. They imitate major blood vessels vividly. However, the final round of the national competition involves rescue of real patients. It’s the cumulative score that counts."

Chen Cang was taken aback, "Real patient rescue? What do you mean?"

Ge Huai explained, "At that time, you’ll be placed in the capital’s emergency center, dispatched in ambulances to rescue patients, providing emergency aid. Of course, there will be experts accompanying, but... from what I’ve heard, basically, if you make one wrong move, you’ll be eliminated.

For example, if you misdiagnose a patient needing emergency aid, you will be eliminated on the spot, since patient safety is the priority!"

Chen Cang nodded. Just then, Meng Xi walked in. Seeing Chen Cang, her eyes lit up, "Let’s go, come with me for a surgery."

After speaking, she headed straight for the operating room.

On the way, Meng Xi suddenly slowed down and turned to look at Chen Cang, asking, "Chen, let me ask you something. If you encountered me in the competition, what would you choose to do?"

Chen Cang was about to speak, "I would..."

But before he could finish, he abruptly stopped himself!

His heart skipped a beat... this was definitely a loaded question!?
