When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Old Ma's preoperative shaving turned out to be a model case promoted by the head nurse.

Yang Jie's outstanding performance earned the admiration of many young nurses!

Old Ma successfully became a teaching model once again.

From a medical and teaching perspective, today's procedure went very smoothly.

After all, Old Ma provided a rather tricky case for the preoperative preparation!

But...

If you look at it from Old Ma's personal journey...

This was an unforgettable memory.

A chronicle of humiliation for Old Ma's inner self!

However, once a shot of lidocaine went in...

Old Ma forgot everything!

Even under local anesthesia, it didn't stop Old Ma from forgetting all the unpleasant things.

What's the cure for worries? Lidocaine!

The surgery was a success!

Chen Cang performed a relatively aesthetic circumcision on Old Ma—his first proper circumcision surgery.

Looking at his handiwork, Chen Cang was quite satisfied.

Anything visible on the surface should look good, after all. In fact, when wrapping up, Chen Cang whimsically tied an intricate knot!

As if sealing Old Ma's fate with a magical binding!

Oh, and the hemorrhoid surgery was also successful.

All in all, after about an hour of their combined efforts, the surgery was completed before eight in the evening.

But...

When Old Ma returned to his room, a serious and practical problem struck him!

How was he supposed to sleep?

On his back?

Definitely not! The boil on his butt had just been removed, and the hemorrhoids were still stitched up!

On his stomach?

Even less feasible! There was a wad of gauze in the front!

At that moment, Old Ma really wanted to cry.

But then again, if Old Ma were the crying type, he wouldn't be Old Ma.

Soon, he discovered a reason to smile.

Thanks to the gauze wrapping, his "little horse" looked like a majestic Ferghana horse through his pants!

That, surely, was something to be happy about.

And so, Old Ma happily drifted off to sleep.

That night, he woke up six times—from the pain!

But each time, he'd glance down at his "Ferghana horse," endure the pain, and fall asleep again.

Little did he know the amount of meticulous effort Chen Cang had put into the bandaging.

Perhaps Old Ma's joy was a bit premature!

Summer—a season of restlessness and disquiet.

The young nurses in the ER began flaunting their summer wardrobe, exuding hormones everywhere.

After their shifts ended each day, this group of nurses would change into mini skirts, short shorts, tank tops, and suspenders to tend to Old Ma's wounds!

Hmm...

As expected!

Old Ma's "little horse" really turned into a bleeding Ferghana horse!

Blood slowly seeped through, and Old Ma's face changed as he shouted:

"Chen Cang, the stitches are coming apart!"

...

...

That afternoon, Gao Ronghua called.

"Professor Chen, Wang Dong has regained consciousness!"

Chen Cang nodded, "Alright, I'll head over now!"

After hanging up, Chen Cang consoled Ma Yuehui and sighed, "You're a grown man. Can you exercise some self-control? Do I really need to call your wife over?"

Old Ma's face turned beet red.

Having said that, Chen Cang got up and left for the Hepatobiliary Surgery department.

By then, Gao Ronghua was already waiting for him.

Wang Dong's wife was sitting on a bench outside the room, not allowed to enter.

When she saw Chen Cang, she nervously stood up, clutching her clothes with both hands, hesitant to speak.

Inside the ICU, Wang Dong had opened his eyes and was looking at Chen Cang with gratitude that words could not express.

"Professor Chen... I feel... I feel much better," Wang Dong couldn't help but say.

He genuinely hoped he could recover.

Chen Cang nodded, "Hand me the test report."

The nurse handed over the case file.

At that moment, another nurse ran in, "Director, Director Mo from Xiehe and Director Lu have arrived!"

Gao Ronghua froze. Mo Li and Lu Bin from Xiehe came together?

Chen Cang silently examined the report, while Gao Ronghua stepped out to greet them.

As Chen Cang finished looking over the report, ready to speak, Gao Ronghua returned with the two directors in tow!

At that moment, Chen Cang turned to Gao Ronghua and said, "Let's do bedside Doppler ultrasound to check the patency of the portal vein and hepatic artery."

Mo Li smiled and nodded at Chen Cang, "Professor Chen, hello!"

Chen Cang, who had met Mo Li and Lu Bin before, also nodded.

Soon, the ultrasound technician arrived with the machine.

Everyone fell silent.

This was likely the moment to determine if the surgery had been a success!

Mo Li and Lu Bin exchanged glances.

They couldn't have timed it better!

This was the perfect moment to assess the surgery's outcome!

Truth be told, they had some doubts about Chen Cang's ability to pull off a surgery like this.

Sure, Chen Cang was impressive!

But even the most skilled have their limits, right?

You specialize in cardiovascular surgery, and yes, you're also skilled in gastrointestinal surgery—fine, call it cross-disciplinary expertise!

If one must justify it, perhaps it's because both involve tubing systems?

But liver surgeries? That's a whole different playing field.

Hepatobiliary surgery is a highly specialized niche within general surgery. At most, the field has one or two academic leaders nationally.

And given its niche focus, cross-disciplinary expertise doesn't come as easily.

At that moment, the ultrasound images appeared on the screen.

"Professor Chen! The portal vein is patent! The hepatic artery is patent as well!"

"And look at the blood flow velocity and volume—it's indistinguishable from that of a normal liver!"

Chen Cang's face lit up with joy!

This was fantastic news!

"Are today's prothrombin time and blood routine results available?" Chen Cang asked immediately.

The nurse quickly pulled up the data.

"Got them! Professor Chen, prothrombin time is extended by less than 10 seconds, and the platelet count is essentially normal!"

Hearing this, Chen Cang couldn't help but exclaim, "Good!"

It was truly excellent news!

Even Gao Ronghua couldn't help but echo his sentiment.

In the early stages of liver transplants, prothrombin time prolongation and platelet reduction are common indicators of complications. These metrics are critical to the evaluation of the surgery.

But now, both indicators were perfectly normal!

The bedside Doppler ultrasound showed completely normal blood flow in the hepatic artery and portal vein.

A physiological test and an imaging test—both sets of results were spot-on.

No signs of rejection!

What did this mean?

The surgery was a great success!

At that moment, Chen Cang was delighted!

Smiling at Wang Dong, he said, "You're one lucky guy!"

Wang Dong chuckled, "Ha! Professor Chen, without you, I wouldn't have made it!"

Even Gao Ronghua couldn't hide his joy.

Reflecting on the surgery from the day before yesterday, he felt he had learned a lot.

Meanwhile, Mo Li and Lu Bin exchanged awkward glances, seemingly at a loss for words.

Chen Cang's technical prowess in liver transplantation was truly astounding.

At that moment, Chen Cang turned to them and asked, "By the way, Directors Mo and Lu, what brings you here today?"

The two were rendered speechless, unsure how to respond.

If Old Ma had been present, he would have nailed it with one sentence: they definitely weren't here just to watch you show off...
