When the Doctor Uses A Hack

The competition begins!

Chen Cang watched the surgery, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was a rather rare operation.

A surgery to repair a clavicle fracture that had punctured the subclavian artery and vein.

Such surgeries are now rare in clinical practice, because with the advent of car airbags, effective protection can be provided for the clavicle and head, leading to a decline in these types of injuries.

The surgery was highly risky and, once diagnosed, required immediate surgical repair.

Chen Cang immediately began his procedure.

Since the operation was on a simulator, there was no need for procedures like opening and closing the chest, saving quite a bit of time.

And it saved money!

After all, simulators aren’t cheap, but if you’re just repairing blood vessels, it could be convenient.

Once the simulation equipment was activated, "blood" surged out continuously.

Despite the persistent beeping of the monitor, Chen Cang remained calm and collected.

That’s because many things are more important than the actual surgery before starting the repair of the subclavian artery injury on the right!

The subclavian artery area is quite special, packed with nerves, as well as the trachea and esophagus.

Therefore, before surgery, it’s critical not to rush and cause bleeding and damage to the nearby vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves, which could lead to many severe sequelae!

Chen Cang carefully separated the area around the right brachiocephalic artery bifurcation, revealing the right subclavian artery!

He then began to retract and protect the nearby vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerves, and throughout all these actions, Chen Cang did not use hemostats, as these instruments can easily damage nerves.

He simply controlled the bleeding with digital pressure.

It wasn’t until later that he clamped the proximal and distal ends of the free rupture and began a thorough debridement of the blood vessel!

For some reason, Yu Zhiquiang hadn’t seen a hint of nervousness in Chen Cang since he entered the room.

Moreover, throughout the surgery, he was neither hurried nor slow, completely unflustered...

What did that poise remind him of?

Yu Zhiquiang racked his brains and suddenly understood—it was like watching Academician Wu perform surgery, with a sense of leisurely strolling.

It seemed... as if everything was under control.

But at that moment, the assistant facing Chen Cang was sweating profusely.

The feeling wasn’t exclusive to Yu Zhiquiang; even the assisting doctor felt the pressure of being an underling to a superior.

It felt like an immense pressure!

Sweat trickled down their backs nervously.

Seeing this situation, Yu Zhiquiang glanced at his colleague, the co-examiner, and saw his brow was tight, looking... as if they were on ward rounds with the Dean.

Very... peculiar.

The key point was, watching Chen Cang’s surgery, they both felt less like examiners and more like students learning from the Director’s operations.

It was as if they were back in the days when they had just started at the hospital, with the Director leading them through surgeries.

Yes!

That was the feeling.

It felt like every move Chen Cang made was profound, even a simple needle holding action seemed impressive.

Both were shocked, exchanged glances, and saw panic in each other’s eyes.

What was happening?

How long had it been since they’d experienced such a feeling?

Wasn’t this too exaggerated?

Yu Zhiquiang came from an academic background, and their older generation of teachers were not from academic circles as the national college entrance exam had only been reinstated not long before.

He had seen so many bigwigs from practical backgrounds!

After numerous surgeries, these experts had shed their embellishments, giving off a sense of simplicity from complexity.

They had a kind of charisma, a mixture of casual confidence, quite enchanting!

But... in this day and age, such people were becoming increasingly rare because there weren’t as many clinical opportunities.

To put it bluntly, how could surgeons become formidable?

They must be tested by countless surgeries!

Through constant failures!

In this era, who dares to fail?

They’d be finished in an instant!

Yet, he found this very sensation in Chen Cang!

Terrifying!

This was highly irregular, how could Chen Cang, at his young age, possibly have such extensive surgical clinical experience?

...

...

At this moment, on the large screen outside on the stage, Chen Cang’s surgery was being broadcasted!

After all, it was the finale of the day, featuring the popular contestant Peng Lu and the powerful dark horse, "Chen the Devil."

Li Wenbin watched the operation: "Why do I feel that Chen Cang’s surgery is a bit odd? It’s completely different from what we saw earlier!"

It wasn’t just Li Wenbin; Yang Guangdong and Xiong Kangyu were also nodding in agreement.

Exactly!

Chen Cang’s surgery was strikingly different in style compared to before.

What on earth was going on?

Li Wenbin looked at the big screen and suddenly made a lighthearted joke, "We’re about to reach the vascular suturing part. Maybe, we’ll get to see Chen Cang’s quick and delicate ’Chen-style Suturing’ again. Honestly, this is my first time seeing such speed and precision in suturing. It’s quite enjoyable."

The audience nodded in agreement!

Indeed, Chen Cang’s suturing speed was even faster than Sikong’s.

Those who hadn’t seen the competition at the beginning because of the match, now all widened their eyes, getting ready.

But at this moment, everyone was suddenly dumbfounded!

Because... after Chen Cang and Peng Lu started suturing at the same time, Chen Cang’s suturing speed did not increase, but decreased... It seemed he was intentionally controlling it.

At this time, Wu Tongpu slowly took the stage, sat down on a sofa, and began watching the competition because he had noticed something very strange about this operation of Chen Cang’s.

After taking a close look, Wu Tongpu’s eyes widened suddenly.

Peng Lu had lost!

There was basically no need to compare anymore.

The difference was two entire ranks, not even in the same weight class.

He had come on stage to explain Chen Cang’s operation and its implications, because without their commentary... the audience would find it very difficult to understand.

Perhaps... they might not understand even after the explanation?

After all, the gap was just too big.

When the host saw Wu Tongpu come up, he immediately bowed in greeting!

Curiously, he said to Wu Tongpu, "Academician Wu, in this competition, Chen Cang seems to be at a disadvantage. I feel that Peng Lu is slightly overpowering Chen Cang, look at that suture..."

The audience below furrowed their brows!

Those senior deputy directors and attending physicians watching the competition had their brows tightly knitted.

Indeed, from the looks of it on screen, Peng Lu was very impressive.

But...

For some reason, they always felt that Chen Cang’s operation, with every move and stitch, gave off an incredibly badass vibe?

The crowd below started discussing heatedly!

And at this moment.

Upon hearing the host’s words, Wu Tongpu couldn’t help but shake his head, "Peng Lu has lost."

Everyone was immediately astonished!

"Why?"

"Why do I feel that Sister Peng Lu is amazing?"

"Is Chen Cang holding back his strength?"

...

Wu Tongpu continued, "Zoom in on the image, enlarge it, and then enlarge it again!"

The host nodded and zoomed in the camera.

Wu Tongpu said, "Look at Chen Cang’s suturing trajectory, the degree of fit between the blood vessel’s inner and outer membranes..."

Li Wenbin suddenly slapped the table, almost standing up!

"Academician Wu... are you talking about Chen Cang’s surgery?"

Wu Tongpu nodded, "Yes, Chen Cang’s vascular anastomosis far surpasses Peng Lu, his understanding of blood vessels, their recovery, and even the adverse effects of subclavian steal syndrome post-surgery, he has it all under control!"

Xiong Kangyu took a deep breath after hearing this.

This kid... has become even stronger!

And every spectator on site watched Wu Tongpu, dumbstruck—was Chen Cang really that powerful?

...

...

Time ticked away by the second, and the surgery soon ended.

When Chen Cang put down his instruments, the scrub nurse and the surgical assistant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling drained.

That’s right!

The pressure had been too great.

From start to finish, Chen Cang had put immense pressure on them.

Even more pressure than operating with the department chief!

Even Yu Zhiquiang was somewhat uneasy.

To tell the truth, during this surgery, Yu Zhiquiang had faintly sensed many extraordinary things... This was the direction in which he needed to work hard and improve.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat shocked!

This young man, his understanding of vascular anastomosis, was already so profound?

It seemed as if Chen Cang was the director, and they were the examinees!

When the staff announced it was time for the candidates to leave the scene.

Chen Cang was about to say goodbye and depart.

Yu Zhiquiang and the deputy examiner unexpectedly said in unison, "Goodbye, Director Chen!"

Chen Cang was stunned!

This...

He turned around and curiously looked at the assistant and scrub nurse.

When the two saw Chen Cang staring at them, they were immediately taken aback.

They quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "Goodbye, Director Chen!"

Chen Cang was baffled!

Had they recognized the wrong person?

Alas...
