When the Doctor Uses A Hack

It always seemed a bit odd!

A little displeased, a bit helpless, and even seemed like he had something to say but held back…

Thinking of this, Qian Lin hurriedly said, “Teacher… What’s this about?”

Tao Zi waved his hand, “It’s nothing!”

Suddenly, Tao Zi remembered that Qian Lin and Chen Cang were in the same cohort and his eyes lit up, “Xiao Qian, come here, I want to ask you something.”

Qian Lin immediately became excited, could it be that the teacher was going to have a heart-to-heart with him?

With that thought, Qian Lin’s eyes shone: “Teacher, please ask!”

Tao Zi suddenly asked, “I want to ask you something, do you know Chen Cang? He’s a graduate student like you, from this year’s class.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Lin wished he could share everything he knew: “Yeah, yeah, I know him, we’re in the same class and have a great relationship!”

Tao Zi also became interested, “Oh… So, how much do you know about Chen Cang? Who is his mentor?”

Qian Lin was thrilled to hear the teacher ask this question; this was his area of expertise!

Qian Lin knew firsthand the process of Chen Cang choosing Meng Xi as his mentor, so he smiled slightly, “I know, teacher! You’ve asked the right person. You should know that I was there when Chen Cang was taking Meng Xi as his mentor. Let me tell you about it!”

“Chen Cang’s mentor is Director Meng Xi, 30 years old this year, graduated from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden with a Doctor of Medicine…”

Tao Zi, of course, knew who Meng Xi was, and hearing Qian Lin’s embellished introduction, he hurriedly interjected, “Hold on, hold on, isn’t Chen Cang’s mentor Xia Gaofeng?”

Qian Lin was stunned, “Of course not!”

“Chen Cang went straight to Director Meng! Let me tell you, at that time, the situation was like this…”

Thus, the events of the day unfolded through Qian Lin’s narration, much like listening to a novel; tales of English handoff translations, the superhuman vascular suturing technique, the sharp diagnostic skills…

Tao Zi listened and was completely confused, asking incredulously, “Is what you’re saying true?”

Qian Lin immediately nodded, “Of course it’s true, you should have seen Director Xia’s face at the time!”

Speaking of this, Qian Lin said, “At that time, Chen Cang’s vascular suturing was faster than Ge Huai, a student already graduated and retained by the hospital under Director Xia. His skill level was really impressive. But he chose Meng Xi as his mentor!”

“When I saw Director Xia Gaofeng’s expression, he was so envious it was intolerable, he was almost at the point of snatching Chen Cang away! Just like…”

At this point, Qian Lin suddenly stopped!

Because he realized that his teacher Tao Zi’s current expression was all too familiar!

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before!

It seemed… very similar to the expression of Director Xia Gaofeng back then!

At this thought, Qian Lin’s heart started to panic tremendously!

“My teacher wants to abandon me, what should I do? I’m waiting online, it’s urgent…”

…

…

After half a day of contemplation, Tao Zi suddenly relaxed quite a bit, after all… Chen Cang hadn’t chosen Xia Gaofeng!

That made everything alright!

As for that Xiao Meng, well… It’s said that Meng Xi isn’t married yet, and is quite pretty.

Thinking it over, Tao Zi suddenly felt relieved.

The reason must lie right here.

After all, with Chen being so outstanding and so skilled, does he need a mentor?

If it’s not for some other reason, why would he choose Meng Xi as his mentor?

With this thought, Tao Zi suddenly felt much better, and breathed a sigh of relief with a clear and refreshed mind.

Chen Cang’s gaze softened a lot as he watched Qian Lin, “That’s pretty good, Qian, not bad at all. You’ve quickly mastered the pericardial puncture technique. Excellent! Tomorrow, follow me into surgery.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Lin felt somewhat nervous and looked at Tao Zi with a mixture of belief and doubt, “Teacher, are you really trying to find an excuse to kick me out?”

…

…

Chen Cang was in a good mood.

Fortune brings a lighter heart. Seeing each of his pericardial surgeries performed by either advanced or master-level practitioners, Chen Cang had to admit he felt somewhat inflated with pride.

The only downside was the night shift tonight, as he wouldn’t be able to show off at the First Hospital of Dongda.

Thinking about it, Chen Cang decided to endure it.

Just before his shift ended, Chen Cang accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, which made his heart skip a beat.

Holy crap!

Why is it him!?

Yes, tonight Chen Cang had to work the night shift alongside Dr. Yan Ming.

This thought alone was enough to make Chen Cang’s heart flutter uncontrollably.

There is a saying in the emergency department that holds true: fear not a god-like opponent but dread a pig-like teammate.

Encountering Yan Ming, Chen Cang really felt like cursing out loud.

But… never mind!

Keep calm and carry on, and be extra vigilant in case something comes up.

It wasn’t that Chen Cang harbored too much prejudice against Yan Ming, but rather that this doctor really seemed somewhat irresponsible…

As night fell, Chen Cang had a takeout meal and then began to round the rooms one by one.

This was a habit Chen Bingsheng had taught Chen Cang – no matter the situation, before you start work on the night shift, you must thoroughly understand your patients.

You have to know them inside out!

Because this way, even if something out of the ordinary happens, you could adjust quickly.

And don’t forget to give a few words of explanation to the patients, after all, they don’t understand their illnesses.

Chen Bingsheng was very good at this; he had a firm grasp of all the information about his patients. It wasn’t because of an extraordinary memory that he never forgot anything.

It was because he was so focused and serious about his patients, analyzing any new indicator for a long time, that he became so adept.

This was a good habit Chen Cang had learned from old Chen.

After busily going through his rounds, it was nearly ten o’clock.

Just as Chen Cang was about to head back to the office, he happened to see Yan Ming sitting at the nurse’s station with a thermos cup, chatting and laughing with the nurses. Chang Lina was working on the side.

Chen Cang didn’t want to intervene, but remembering a patient during the rounds who seemed to have been admitted today with a heart attack, he couldn’t help but give a reminder.

“Dr. Yan, keep an eye on patient in bed 13, he was admitted today with acute angina. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Yan Ming gave a faint smile and nodded lightly, “All right, Chen, I’ll go and have a look in a bit.”

After saying that, he continued his jovial chat with the nurses.

Chen Cang shook his head and walked toward his office.

It must be said, if you set aside professional and other aspects, Yan Ming, as an older man, had that uncle-like appearance, a friendly demeanor, and a sense of humor. He was unhurried in his actions and never raised his voice. To the nurses, he was always beaming with smiles, generally pleasing to be around.

In comparison, Chen Cang realized that he had picked up a bad habit from Chen Bingsheng – sometimes in a rush, he tended to call on people abruptly.

This calling out might be unintentional, simply out of urgency to provide quick assistance, but… it easily offended people.

After all, not everyone can understand you!

Chen Cang, unconcerned, shook his head and returned to the ward.
