When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Zhou Zheng was terrified!

The conversation between Chen Cang and the other doctor nearby had scared him out of his wits.

Seeing this, Chen Cang looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You don't have a tumor."

At this moment, Zhou Zheng didn't dare to relax.

The rollercoaster of hope and despair was just too unbearable, so he decided to wait until Chen Cang finished speaking.

Chen Cang continued, "But we can't rule out the possibility of it becoming a tumor in the future."

Zhou Zheng was on the verge of tears. Could you not just say it all at once?

Chen Cang walked over, took Zhou Zheng's hand, and said, "This is a rare disease!"

"It's called Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, also known as Black Spot Polyp Syndrome."

When Chen Cang uttered this term, everyone looked completely baffled.

What is Black Spot Polyp Syndrome?

They had never heard of it!

Old Ma was even convinced that Chen Cang had just made up the name to fool people!

Seeing Old Ma's skeptical gaze, Chen Cang really wanted to punch him.

"This disease is extremely rare. You guys are lucky to even see it."

After saying that, Chen Cang immediately began pushing the patient toward the endoscopy room.

The group exchanged glances and followed him one after another.

After all, for a doctor, encountering such a rare disease held an inexplicable allure.

Think about it—when you suddenly identify a condition that no one else knows about.

The feeling is just like Professor Chen at this moment.

Full of prestige!

It makes people feel awestruck at a glance.

The doctors in the endoscopy room had been waiting for quite a while.

When everyone saw the results under the endoscope, they were dumbfounded!

"This… this is disgusting!"

"It's creepy!"

"Looks a bit like a bunch of grapes…"

No matter how they described it, at this moment under the endoscope, everyone clearly saw a mass of polyps densely packed along the small intestine!

Each was small, maybe only one or two millimeters in size, but… there were just so many of them!

Anyone with trypophobia would undoubtedly find it nauseating.

The sight of numerous tiny polyps on the lining of the small intestine looked like soft, fine fuzz.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a sudden sense of relief!

"Thank goodness for the intussusception today. If this wasn't caught early, it would definitely develop into cancer later on! With so many polyps, it'd probably turn cancerous before turning forty."

This was the harsh truth.

Sometimes, it's hard to determine whether a patient's illness is bad luck or fortune.

At this moment, seeing this scene, Old Ma couldn't help but sigh!

He seemed to understand what Chen Cang meant now.

If the medical expenses really had to be borne, responsibility would need to be divided. In that case, while the other party wouldn't pay as much overall, the patient would still have to shoulder a lot of the costs.

But…

Right now, the other side had only paid 30,000. Compared to endless diagnostics and surgeries, it saved quite a bit of money.

And Zhou Zheng could also use this money to treat his disease.

With so many polyps, handling them really was like picking grapes, removing them one by one—an exhausting task.

It couldn't be done quickly.

Getting admitted into the hospital seemed far more practical.

Old Ma glanced at Chen Cang and offered a friendly smile, which Chen Cang completely ignored.

At this moment, the doctors in the endoscopy room, after finishing their examination, were genuinely spooked. They didn't even know how to proceed.

"Professor Chen… what kind of disease is this?"

Chen Cang was about to explain.

Old Ma interrupted, putting on airs: "This is called P-J syndrome!"

The other doctor was instantly perplexed. "What's that?"

Old Ma didn't miss a beat as he confidently elaborated, "Its full name is Black Spot Polyp Syndrome. It's a hereditary disease, characterized by: 1. Black spots on fingers and lips; 2. Multiple polyps in the gastrointestinal tract; 3. Heredity!"

The other doctors turned their curious eyes toward Old Ma.

Could it be that Group Leader Ma was familiar with this too?

Chen Cang shook his head helplessly.

When it came to showing off, Old Ma was a true expert. He was skilled in using search engines.

The endoscopy room's doctors stared at the mass of polyps with apprehension.

This wasn't just polyps growing in the gastrointestinal tract—it looked like the gastrointestinal tract was growing on the polyps!

"Professor Chen, should we… just remove the small intestine entirely?"

Indeed!

It was tempting to abandon the idea of endoscopic polyp removal altogether.

Chen Cang couldn't help but sigh. "We should try to preserve it."

After all, four to five meters of the small intestine played a crucial role in nutrient absorption. If completely removed, aside from anything else, given the current level of medical technology and the patient's family conditions, it'd be extremely difficult to manage!

Challenging as it was, the procedure still had to be done.

But it would be best to handle it after getting admitted to the hospital.

Doctors often found themselves testing the limits of their cognitive boundaries.

Many conditions truly pushed the edge of what one could stomach.

Take, for example, the gastrointestinal surgery team jokingly dubbed the "poop-fetching boys." The stench during procedures could be so overwhelming that even through masks, you'd lose your appetite for three days.

Still, you had to do the work.

Because if you didn't, who would?

Overnight, they completed the transfer procedures.

Zhou Zheng was admitted to the gastroenterology department.

Old Ma followed behind Chen Cang, grinning like a fool.

"Cang Er, what do you wanna eat tomorrow?"

"Cang Er, don't hold grudges like this! Come on, aren't you being childish?"

Watching Old Ma tailing him, Chen Cang was exasperated and amused.

The next morning during the shift handover.

A young doctor from the gastrointestinal surgery team stood up and enthusiastically reported last night's events.

When it came to the diagnosis, he confidently declared, "P-J syndrome!"

Exactly!

The name had successfully drawn attention from the goddess and admiration from the students.

They realized one thing—putting up a façade could be quite satisfying.

No matter the degree of it, as long as you exuded enough 'class,' you could thrive on it repeatedly.

However, at the same time.

During the handover meeting.

The department heads of gastroenterology, gastrointestinal surgery, and radiology all looked thrilled after hearing about Chen Cang's "intussusception enema reduction procedure" last night.

Still, He Zhiqian decided not to make life difficult for his colleagues in other departments, so he refrained from saying much.

That said…

Learning was still imperative.

The gastroenterology and radiology department heads insisted on attending the handover meeting at Emergency Unit Six.

They were intent on talking directly with Chen Cang.

Yu Yonggang's expressions when he looked at Chen Cang grew increasingly intriguing.

After the handover, Old Yu organized an internal meeting and managed to shoo away the department heads.

Turning to Chen Cang, he said, "Chen Cang, how long have you been in the emergency unit?"

Chen Cang smiled. "Almost half a year!"

Yu Yonggang let out an "oh," looking somewhat distressed.

Damn, there's only half a year left before you leave, and you haven't left behind anything valuable for our Emergency Unit… I've been such a disappointing chief.

That day, Old Yu felt particularly motivated.

Watching other department heads work so hard, he couldn't bear to miss this goldmine.

Clearing his throat, Old Yu said, "Oh, only half a year left, huh?"

"Ah, I'm already feeling a bit reluctant to see you go!"

Hearing this, even Chen Cang felt somewhat moved…
