When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Compared to Ma Yuehui, Yu Yonggang was even more panicked inside!

He was the person in charge, after all. Anything that went wrong fell entirely on his shoulders, and it was Yu Yonggang who had granted the surgical rights to Chen Cang!

Don't think for a second that these surgical rights were given out casually.

Let me put it this way, over ninety percent of doctors in training can't even get prescription rights, let alone surgical rights!

This means you are already able to directly intervene in a patient's treatment, and even if there are issues, people above will hold the fort for you!

Sadly...

At this point, old Yu suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of regret!

He thought he might have been too impulsive, and granted the surgical rights too soon!

Now that he thought about it carefully, he considered his actions today to be somewhat inappropriate!

It was all Chen Cang's fault, that surgery yesterday was just like a pot of aged wine, so exhilarating that it left old Yu intoxicated and a bit out of sorts!

That rascal must have slipped him some sort of drug!

The more he thought about it, the quicker old Yu's steps became!

Meanwhile, inside the operating room, there was a tense standstill filled with silence.

Zhang Yuan and Yang Hui stood like two fixtures, not daring to make a sound, hands folded across their chests... afraid to move an inch!

They could never have imagined that surgery preparation could take so long or that they'd discover for the first time... just how exhausting it could be to simply raise one's hand!

Helpless!

The two shared a glance, their eyes filled with profound sympathy for each other.

However, after looking at Chen Cang, they suddenly felt that the great doctor was truly awesome!

He had only been here for a few days and dared to argue and bang the table with Director Zhou.

Putting everything else aside, just this courage alone was likely something their own group leader couldn't match.

And often times, many surgeons have to complete operations under the command of anesthetists since their grasp on the vital signs of patients during surgery is not as good as that of the anesthetists!

The other nurses also looked on with a sense of helplessness and sympathy towards Chen Cang.

Over time, they had gotten to know Chen Cang, the handsome young man who had come for advanced training. Good-looking and with a charming smile, he was sunny and handsome, very likable, albeit somewhat of a heartthrob, requiring frequent laundry, since who can guarantee they won't dream at night?

Ah... how annoying!

But, this young guy was a bit too impulsive too, even Director Zhou, such a mild-tempered person, seemed a bit angry.

You're just a trainee, aren't you afraid Director Zhou will give you a hard time?

Although the nurses knew they should stand by Director Zhou, after all, in terms of status, they were on his side, and Chen Cang was just here temporarily!

Yet... for some reason, both in heart and body, they wanted to side with the young guy, which made them wonder whether they should listen to the calling of their heart or obey their body's natural instincts?

But no matter how you slice it, they should side with the young guy, right?

After all: Body + Heart should be greater than job duty!

The nurse took a deep breath and said, "Director Zhou, don't be angry, Doctor Chen is also considering the patient."

Upon hearing this, Zhou He immediately felt much happier, it seemed the nurses were still on his side! He had not been sparing with his care for them in the past!

He then smiled, "I'm not angry, Doctor Chen and I are just exchanging ideas, an academic dispute! Surgery is just too important."

Chen Cang felt helpless, thinking if this were at the provincial second hospital, the nurses would probably side with me...

And the nurse, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that the young guy was fine, then looked at Chen Cang with a flirtatious twinkle in her eye, nodding to cheer him on!

The doors to the operating room opened, and Director Yu, without even taking off his clothes, walked straight in!

He casually took off his gloves and threw them into the wastebasket as he looked at Chen Cang, "What's the matter?"

Chen Cang handed over the case file, "Director Yu, take a look. These are the patient's examination and laboratory results. The child is only five years old. If we use an extracorporeal circulation machine, for him it will undoubtedly serve only to delay death. I believe we can choose a more suitable approach to perform the surgery."

Yu Yonggang, looking at the reports in his hand, felt a headache coming on.

He rubbed his eyebrows, realizing that, just as Chen Cang had said, this child's situation was indeed very bad.

But the risk factor and difficulty of performing heart surgery without stopping the heart were even higher!

Perhaps risks and benefits are always intertwined—the most beautiful flowers always bloom in the most perilous places.

At that moment, Yu Yonggang started to carefully consider if there was any other possible approach as he studied the images.

Time slipped away by the seconds, the operating room remained utterly silent!

The two people finding it hardest both felt their hands beginning to go numb... but neither dared to just put their hands down.

If Old Yu saw them, they would certainly not escape punishment.

After all, there were a few things Old Yu could not tolerate, one being irresponsibility towards patients, and a surgeon without a concept of sterility, in Old Yu's eyes, was tantamount to joking with a patient's health!

Thinking it through, both sighed and decided to endure a bit longer...

After a long while, Yu Yonggang made a decision. He looked at the nurse beside him and said,

"Prepare the extracorporeal circulation machine!"

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, his eyes widened in some resignation.

However, Yu Yonggang then suddenly said, "Keep the extracorporeal circulation machine on standby... do not prime it!"

Chen Cang immediately breathed a sigh of relief!

He looked at Yu Yonggang with gratitude, "Thank you, Director Yu!"

"Chen," Yu Yonggang stared at Chen Cang with no trace of jest, only a deep solemnity. His meaning was clear without words—this is just a 5-year-old child. You must be cautious! Cautious! And cautious again!

Chen Cang took a deep breath and vigorously nodded, "I can do it!"

Yu Yonggang then turned to Zhou He, "Director Zhou, let him try. Chen Cang possesses exceptional talent in cardiac surgery and was the winner of the 2019 National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition. I want to give him a chance. If we discover any insufficiency, with me here, we can make adjustments in time. What do you think?"

Zhou He glanced at Chen Cang, surprised at how remarkable this young man was.

The prominence of the National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition was very high compared to other competitions in various fields.

Seeing Yu Yonggang had made up his mind, Zhou He nodded, "Director Yu, I'll follow your lead!"

After speaking, Zhou He began to consider the anesthetic planning.

Meanwhile, several young nurses gazed at Chen Cang, their eyes shining with admiration!

Such an outstanding young man!

He was even the champion of the National Cardiac Surgery Skills Competition!

Handsome!

Kind!

Talented!

How could one not indulge in a little daydreaming?

On the other hand, Chen Cang suddenly remembered something, "Director Yu... I just called Team Leader Ma. He said he's on his way back and told me to wait for him. Isn't it inappropriate for us to start now?"

As soon as Old Yu heard of Ma Yuehui, he immediately shook his head, "Ma Yuehui? Don't delay any further, better to start the surgery sooner. If we wait for the medication's effect to wear off, who knows how much longer we'll have to wait.

Forget about him, go and talk to the family members first, get their consent signed, and prepare to begin the surgery!"

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!

As for Team Leader Ma... one could only blame Old Yu's autocracy!
