When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Duan Bo instinctively thought he had misheard upon hearing Chen Cang's words.

But seeing that Chen Cang didn't seem... to be joking with him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Hello, Dr. Chen," Duan Bo said with a smile.

Chen Cang nodded and returned a slight smile, "It really is fate, Director Duan, are you out here... to learn?"

Duan Bo nodded, "Yes, I left quite early, before the New Year, and have been here for several months."

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land is a joyous occasion, not to mention encountering a colleague from the same unit.

Although at first, Duan Bo also had his difficulties with the ER, but later, as the relationship with general surgery improved, Chen Cang had also performed surgeries with Duan Bo, and their relationship was quite good.

Chen Cang couldn't help but suggest, "Director Lu, this one is from our hospital's general surgery, an old acquaintance of mine, how about letting him act as an assistant?"

Lu Chao didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he nodded with a smile, "Sure, no problem, Director Duan should take this opportunity to learn well. It's rare to get such a chance."

Duan Bo nodded, expressing his gratitude with a thank you.

The few observers in the back looked enviously at Duan Bo, not expecting that he would have such a great opportunity.

In truth, Lu Chao wouldn't reject Chen Cang's suggestion, after all, this is a figure who would eventually be the vice-chairman of the future World Society of Digestive Surgery, and he wouldn't be so foolish to seek trouble for himself.

Lu Chao took the lead, Chen Cang assisted with the endoscope, Duan Bo was the first assistant, and Austar was the second assistant.

Austar looked at Duan Bo and actively greeted him.

This made Duan Bo a bit overwhelmed with the attention.

All the big shots were present...

The surgery began.

Lu Chao concentrated deeply and started the operation.

Meanwhile, several chiefs from the 301 hospital stared wide-eyed at Chen Cang's technique.

This was a common bile duct operation, not very difficult, but prone to damage the bile duct and cause secondary surgery.

Chen Cang felt somewhat reflective; Group Leader Ma had just published an article on this topic, and now they encountered this situation, which Chen Cang was quite familiar with.

Austar, on the other hand, did not say much; the work of the second assistant was easy and pleasant for him, and it was precisely these less challenging operations that allowed him more room to think about Chen Cang's technique.

For him, this was important.

Every surgery video was saved for use as an illustration in medical books.

Lu Chao was very skilled surgically, but a surgery is never a one-man job, especially laparoscopic surgery.

So this placed high demands on the assistant handling the endoscope.

At this moment, Chen Cang was simultaneously performing the procedure and explaining the key points and techniques to everyone.

Moreover, he addressed not just the details of this surgery, but also the aspects to be mindful of during the operation.

Everyone was surprised to discover that Dr. Chen, while skillfully controlling the endoscope, was also guiding Lu Chao to successfully complete the surgery.

This was indeed thought-provoking!

However, as the surgery went deeper, everyone realized that the following words of Chen Cang were not only directed at Lu Chao but were striking a chord with them as well.

"At the common bile duct, we must be careful, always remember to hold back, because here the bile duct and pancreas..."

"And here, there is a habitual error, that is, when using the endoscope, it's easy to bump into the liver, which can change the original position of the bile duct and cause damage."

"Ultrasonic scalpel..."

Suddenly, they all noticed a problem: Chen Cang was always able to directly point out some of their mistakes!

How many people were there?

Four to five chiefs!

Four visiting physicians!

To their surprise, they found that among the issues Chen Cang had mentioned earlier, there were some relevant to each of them!

Upon careful reflection on Dr. Chen's words, they were terrified to realize that these were mistakes they were liable to make themselves.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Dr. Chen, who hadn't even seen their surgeries, had managed to pinpoint these errors.

Was it a coincidence?

Then, everyone glanced at their colleagues beside them and saw shock written all over each other's faces...

It was as if Dr. Chen had seen right through them, pointing out the flaws they often made, just as if Chen Cang were directly commenting on their weaknesses...

Yes!

It made them feel very insecure.

And... it was indeed a bit frightening!

At that moment, they realized it wasn't a coincidence, and it wasn't just themselves.

The mistakes Dr. Chen had mentioned were all ones they had encountered before.

For a time, everyone was silent!

Even Lu Chao couldn't help but swallow hard.

The surgery ended smoothly, and everyone observing the surgery had learned a lot.

Just from this one surgery, Dr. Chen had pointed out many common mistakes they made.

Actually, even at the chief level, they made mistakes, and worse... these errors had become habits that they were unaware of.

This called for someone formidable to point them out.

But at this moment, Dr. Chen had pointed out their shortcomings without having seen them make those mistakes.

This feeling was like encountering a teacher at school who could guess your thoughts.

Everyone sighed collectively!

This trip had been highly rewarding; it truly was worthwhile.

The surgery ended without incident.

Chen Cang timely reminded Director Lu of a few minor details, ensuring the successful completion of the operation.

After the patient had been taken away,

Lu Chao couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Chen, are you very familiar with bile duct surgery? Why do I feel like you can skillfully avoid common complications like bile duct injuries?"

"And how does it seem like you can see into my mind, knowing I'm about to make a mistake, and then you stop me just in time!"

Everyone looked up; even Director Lu shared this puzzle, and then... pairs of innocent curious eyes fixed on Chen Cang!

Chen Cang also froze; he thought of Ma Yuehui, knowing Group Leader Ma was "capable," but he didn't realize just how exceptional Ma was!

What mistake hadn't Group Leader Ma made?

The thought alone was... terrifying!

Chen Cang chuckled and modestly boasted, "Well, actually this is from a recent article I advised on in 'The Lancet,' a small project I would say, which I worked on together with Mr. Austar and Group Leader Ma Yuehui, specifically addressing bile duct injury surgeries. Everyone should take a look."

"In fact, we've considered this issue and made a targeted breakthrough, focusing primarily on solving and avoiding situations that cause bile duct damage."

Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, the people around him exchanged glances.

Well used, the word "advised"!

Dr. Chen advising Professor Austar... and publishing in 'The Lancet'!

Perhaps this is what the world of experts is like?

And at this time, Group Leader Ma Yuehui, by instinct, was forgotten by everyone.

It was really unfair to Group Leader Ma; in fact, he was the key figure. Without him, where would they have found so many mistakes?

Group Leader Ma would surely cry when he found out.
