Chapter 176: 177: I'm at work... Isn't it inconvenient? (Seeking monthly pass)
The moment Chen Gang’s name was mentioned, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became eerily tense!
Those few who knew Chen Cang held their breaths and exchanged glances!
Their eyes were full of solemnity.
Because if this liver artery separation technique were conceived by some senior doctor or chief physician, they might have accepted it, but with Chen Cang… he was just too young!
So young that it made everyone feel a certain pressure!
A pressure akin to the new waves of the Yangtze River pushing the old ones ahead, and the pupil surpassing the master.
Liu Siqi and Qian Liang had been Chen Gang’s examiners during his practical exam, where he had performed an appendectomy. Although he had been very impressive, an appendectomy was, after all, just that, an appendectomy. No matter how praiseworthy, it could only show that you had a good surgical talent and aptitude.
But now it was completely different.
The surgery shown in the video was not something that could be successful just by talent and luck alone.
Otherwise, people wouldn’t hesitate to perform it.
This was strength!
And not just any strength, but a solid one!
Though it is said that one should regard an acquaintance in a new light after three days’ separation, it shouldn’t result in looking through an eight-fold magnifying glass, should it?
The disparity was just too great…
Most of those around were not familiar with Chen Cang, and only a few knew of him.
“Who is Chen Cang?”
“I don’t know him!”
“I’ve never heard of him either!”
“Director Zhang, Chen Cang… who is he? Which hospital is he from?”
Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask!
Zhang Youfu smiled, “He is a young doctor at our hospital.”
Hearing this, some people snickered. You, Zhang Youfu, could have just not mentioned it at all, calling him a ‘young doctor’, yet his surgery is even better than yours!
After watching the surgical video, the chiefs of surgery were left wanting more and wished they could return to their hospitals to practice, as their hands were itching to do so.
These chiefs rarely had an opportunity to come together, and with the business of their hospitals waiting, they didn’t stay long and soon were departing one after another.
However, a few people stayed behind, namely those familiar with Chen Cang,
Qian Liang and Liu Siqi.
Unable to hold back, Qian Liang asked, “Director Zhang, this surgery… it was really performed by Chen Cang?”
Zhang Youfu nodded earnestly, still somewhat shaken as he recalled the surgery, “Yes! To tell the truth, at that moment when I was delicately separating the intestines and encountered an adhesion problem, it became impossible to proceed. We then contacted Director Li Baoshan, but he wouldn’t be able to return in time. However, he told us we could call Chen Cang!
“After Chen Cang arrived, I was already exhausted from handling the intestines to prevent leakage, my hands were even trembling. If it wasn’t for Chen Cang that day… it would have likely been more bad luck than good. I still wake up from nightmares about it!”
After Zhang Youfu finished speaking, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
Seeing his reaction, everyone more or less believed him; Zhang Youfu had no reason to joke about such a matter.
After a brief chat about the details of the surgery, they were ready to leave. Just as they were departing, Liu Siqi suddenly turned around, “Director Zhang, is it possible to get a copy of this surgical video?”
Zhang Youfu apologized with a smile, “Not at the moment. 1 will send a copy to you, Director Liu, after some time.”
Liu Siqi nodded. These surgical videos were valuable educational resources, and great ones could even be submitted for awards, so he didn’t insist further.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyuan received a call in his office from Guan Wei, the director of the Graduate Office at Dongyang Medical University.
“Director Qin, hello, I’m Guan Wei.”
Qin Xiaoyuan smiled, “Hello, Director Guan.”
Guan Wei got straight to the point, “It’s like this, after much effort in application, the quota for graduate students has been approved.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan’s eyes immediately lit up!
What great news this was.
“Oh? That… won’t cause any problems? They can keep up with the 19th class of graduate students, right?”
Guan Wei smiled, “No problem. Our medical field is quite special because of the higher number of students with equivalent degrees and those who follow the master-apprentice tradition. In recent years, the state has also been encouraging the cultivation of special talents, so it was approved. You should get Chen Cang to come over soon, get everything that needs to be prepared ready, and after he comes I will explain everything in detail.”
When Qin Xiaoyuan heard the news, he immediately became very happy.
To tell the truth, after making that bold promise to Chen Cang, Qin Xiaoyuan visited Dongyang Medical University only to find out that after the completion of this year’s interviews, all sorts of lists had been published and information had been entered into their system.
Qin Xiaoyuan was thinking of taking the route of recommended exemption for Chen Cang, which would be more convenient, but it turned out to be too late. Afterwards, Qin Xiaoyuan went through a lot of trouble finding various people, and after a lot of back and forth, today there was finally a result.
With this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help feeling ecstatic.
“Then for Chen Gang’s matter… I’m really grateful to Director Guan, and you should take the opportunity to visit the Provincial Second Hospital sometime,” Qin Xiaoyuan said.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt overjoyed.
Thinking over and over, he decided to call Chen Cang, saying triumphantly, “Chen Cang, come to my office.”
Chen Cang was stunned, “Director Qin… I… I’m at work, isn’t it not very good to leave my post during working hours? Is this… appropriate? What if, and I mean if, someone from the medical affairs department takes notice, wouldn’t that be bad? I’ve just been disciplined… How about I come up after work, how about that?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt as if he was getting slapped in slow motion on both cheeks, replayed on the right and then the left…
This kid is definitely trying to annoy me.
Was it just because I didn’t pay attention to his matter a few days ago?
Why are you so petty, man?
Thinking this, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help getting angry, “Fine, you don’t have to come up, but if you miss the start of the new graduate students this year, I won’t be responsible.”
After finishing, Qin Xiaoyuan hung up the phone, and thinking of Chen Cang s insidious tone just now, he couldn’t help being irked.
This kid, seriously… immature!
Exactly!
Completely immature.
When Chen Cang heard about the graduate program starting, he was instantly dumbstruck. Damn, Director Qin is so capable, did he really manage it for me?
With this in mind, Chen Cang made some quick arrangements and hurriedly dashed towards the administrative building.
It was only when he arrived downstairs that he realized he didn’t know where the director’s office was…
I’ll go up and ask!
However, once Chen Cang reached the 20th floor, he encountered a serious problem: the corridors had electronic locks, and only with a card could one get in, which rendered him helpless at that moment.
Knock on the door?
Don’t worry, no one’s going to pay attention to you.
Ah, truly a case of ’Behind vermilion gates, meat and wine go to waste’: they have electronic locks on the doors of the administrative building; the staff inside carry keys and can enter, while outsiders or typical troublemakers can’t get in. Meanwhile, emergency is where my home’s big door’s always open.
The life and health of administrative workers are too important, it seems… as for us in emergency…
Thinking this, Chen Cang couldn’t help muttering a few complaints under his breath.
Since Chen Cang couldn’t get in and no one came to open the door for him, he could only call Qin Xiaoyuan, “Director Qin, I’m at the door… but I can’t get in. ps: Today I came back late, so 1 didn’t post, apologies for the late update..
