When the Doctor Uses A Hack

That's right!

Chen Cang admitted that he felt a bit jealous!

Not just Chen Cang. Even the other doctors who came for rounds and saw this scene had surprisingly similar thoughts.

Moreover!

Chen Cang would bet they'd all side with "Pan Jinlian" here!

Everyone was secretly hoping that the elegant lady's bowl really did contain poison.

If it were arsenic, they wouldn't mind adding an extra pinch!

Poison this scoundrel to death!

Honestly, Old Ma was just too shameless!

"Ouch, it's burning me!" Old Ma complained after being fed a spoonful of bird's nest soup, directing his frustration toward the woman.

The woman smiled quietly and glanced over at Chen Cang, seemingly aware that Ma Yuehui was just putting on airs, trying to save face in front of others!

But… she didn't seem to mind.

The woman flashed a gentle smile, took out a Givenchy handkerchief, and dabbed the corners of Old Ma's mouth. "I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful next time."

Old Ma was basking in the moment.

That kind of feeling was making him swell with pride!

Seeing Chen Cang arrive, Old Ma grinned and said, "This here is my little brother, Chen Cang."

"Chen Cang, meet your sister-in-law, Luo Le."

Chen Cang quickly greeted her, "Hello, sis-in-law. I'm Chen Cang."

Luo Le had a mesmerizing smile!

Chen Cang had never met the historical Pan Jinlian, but he figured she couldn't possibly look better than Sister Luo Le.

Chen Cang wasn't having it.

This Ma Hanhan—what had he done to deserve this!

Luo Le smiled faintly. "I've heard Old Ma mention you often. Drop by our home sometime, and thank you for all your hard work these past few days!"

Chen Cang shook his head. "No problem, sis-in-law. With us around, you can rest easy!"

While speaking, Chen Cang couldn't help but smirk and shoot a glance at the smug Old Ma.

The bastard was undeniably smug right now.

Suddenly, Luo Youcai came to Chen Cang's mind, and he wasn't surprised that Old Ma rubbed everyone the wrong way.

Honestly, it'd be a miracle if anyone did find Old Ma agreeable!

After leaving the office, everyone was gossiping cautiously about Ma Yuehui.

What, exactly, made Old Ma so special!

If he were genuinely rich and generous, maybe it'd make sense!

The entire nurse station had seen his "little colt." It was about as impressive as a lamb!

Finally, everyone could only conclude that fools have their own kind of luck.

Once Luo Le left, a flood of doctors and nurses rushed over under the pretense of changing dressings. They all just wanted to curry favor.

In the end, they could only line up!

Old Ma looked like he was about to burst into tears.

...

...

With Old Ma injured, Chen Cang had to pick up the slack.

As a temporary member of the emergency spearhead team, Chen Cang bore a lot of responsibility.

In just one morning, he attended two consultations and, as he was about to get off work, rushed out again to pick up another patient.

At this moment, Chen Cang couldn't help but have a bit more respect for Old Ma. Say what you will about him, but the man had stamina!

A man in his forties, still going this strong—it was impressive.

Everyone finally understood Old Ma's redeeming trait: maybe his endurance really was exceptional.

That said, this incident with Old Ma served as a wake-up call for everyone!

Hemorrhoids or circumcision—surgeries like these are a no-go in your own hospital.

One misstep, and Old Chen might just end up as Little Chen.

In hindsight, Chen Cang recalled his college roommate's tale about an upperclassman who did circumcisions. Suddenly, he was pretty sure that senior had done it on purpose!

During his lunchtime nap, a nurse came in with a bottle of milk.

Chen Cang glanced at Nurse Ke out of curiosity and couldn't help muttering, "Hey… Ke, didn't you say you weren't married? How come you…"

Immediately, Nurse Ke's face turned red!

"Professor Chen, this is camel milk, not mine!"

Hearing this, Chen Cang let out an awkward laugh. "Oh! Haha… Camel milk, nice!"

After opening the bottle and drinking it, Chen Cang lay back down to continue his nap.

The hospital never lacked gifts like these.

Many patients, given the strict no-red-envelope policy in major hospitals now, would express gratitude by gifting things like fruits, milk, nuts, and so on.

As a result, you'd be hard-pressed to go hungry working in a hospital.

Just as he was dozing off, a knock on the door startled Chen Cang.

A chubby nurse, Ah Liu, rushed in, panting heavily. "Professor Chen, gynecology emergency has a patient with abdominal pain!"

"They can't figure out the diagnosis, so they want you to come assist with a consultation!"

Chen Cang got up immediately upon hearing that. "Alright!"

...

...

Meanwhile, in the gynecology office.

The atmosphere was quite tense.

Around 15 or 16 specialists crowded into the small office. Even with the air conditioning blasting, the oppressive heat seemed relentless.

All eyes were glued to the large screen as pens and papers scribbled furiously, everyone lost in thought.

The patient's condition was too complex!

The entire emergency center, involving nine major departments, had been collaborating on this consultation for an hour and a half, from 1:30 PM till now. They'd stayed through the entire afternoon!

No one complained, but the one regret was that they still hadn't arrived at a unified diagnosis.

At this point, they couldn't even confirm a diagnosis, let alone discuss specific treatments.

Treating ailments isn't as simple as giving a painkiller shot for abdominal pain.

Even metoclopramide couldn't solve this problem.

Abdominal pain!

What seems like a common symptom often masks a series of complicated and difficult conditions.

Spend enough time in a hospital, and you'll notice a peculiar truth:

The more ordinary the symptom, the harder it is to diagnose!

And to make things worse, this patient's symptoms weren't simple at all.

The patient was a 61-year-old woman.

She experienced a sudden onset of dizziness following exercise, accompanied by fatigue and severe lower abdominal pain for over ten hours!

After more than an hour of discussion, they were still at a loss.

Finally, He Zhiqian suddenly proposed, "Let's call the emergency department and have Chen Cang come up. He's quite skilled with acute abdominal cases!"

The gynecology head, Huang Qiuying—aged 58, a national scholar with government stipends and a renowned gynecology specialist—paused slightly upon hearing this, only then recalling Chen Cang!

Though Chen Cang had been around for half a year, his presence hadn't made much of an impact in gynecology.

Compared to other departments, obstetrics and gynecology operated more independently.

They rarely interacted with external units.

Thus, while she'd heard bits and pieces about Chen Cang, she hadn't actually worked with him directly.

And now, faced with a room full of department heads unable to resolve the case...

Could Chen Cang really fix it?

Even so, Huang Qiuying was out of options at this point.

She turned to the nurse. "Request an emergency consultation from the Sixth Emergency Unit and have Professor Chen Cang come over!"

The nurse quickly ran out upon hearing this.

Around the room, specialists from other departments perked up slightly at the mention of Chen Cang's name.

They knew about this prodigy.

He was a rising star in surgery.

But...

Internal medicine and surgery weren't the same. Compared to surgeons, internists were generally better at diagnosis and possessed stronger analytical skills.

Their logical thinking was sharper, with broader perspectives on diagnosis and treatment.

By contrast, surgeons tended to operate by a simple principle: If something's wrong, cut it out!

Sure, it sounded like a joke.

But more often than not, it wasn't far from the truth.
