Chapter 1567: Director Zhou, Are You... Sick? (First Update)
In Chen Cang's own office.
Zhou Hongguang sat opposite, his legs together, hands on his lap, staring straight at Chen Cang, a bit awkward!
Just like a student being critiqued by a teacher!
However, the situation now isn't too different from evaluating homework actually.
Chen Cang held a book called "Liver Transplant".
Zhou Hongguang had been working on this book for many years, and it was originally planned to be published last year. But last year, he happened to attend one of Chen Cang's liver surgeries at Dongyang Province Emergency Center Hospital.
At that time, Zhou Hongguang was instantly enlightened by Chen Cang, feeling surprisingly flattered!
But...
Later, he discovered something quite frustrating.
Since he met Chen Cang, his book publishing plan had been delayed repeatedly!
However, pleasant surprises continued to come!
Especially the recently developed "Living Related Donor Liver Transplantation Surgery" by Chen Cang.
The advent of this surgical method directly increased the value of Zhou Hongguang's "Liver Transplant" qualitatively.
If the initial rating of "Liver Transplant" was 60, it now soared to around 80.
Zhou Hongguang hadn't been idle during this time.
He collected similar cases across the country and participated in surgeries personally to verify the feasibility and clinical value of this procedure.
Over two months' time, Zhou Hongguang gained tremendously.
Whether in understanding liver transplantation or recognizing the discipline, there was a gradual transformation.
After returning, Zhou Hongguang firstly meticulously summarized the clinical data.
Then he worked tirelessly, completing this book in one go!
The originally ambitious Zhou Hongguang felt that the next time he would see Chen Cang, he would surely astonish him like never before.
But...
Upon arrival, before Chen Cang even looked at him, he felt guilty.
While Chen Cang was looking at the book, he felt slightly dizzy.
He lowered his head to take a look—it was Zhou Hongguang shaking his leg.
Chen Cang put down the book, stared at Zhou Hongguang's leg for ten seconds, finally… could not help but ask:
"Director Zhou… do you… have something wrong underneath?"
Zhou Hongguang was stunned for a moment, face flushed!
How could Professor Chen say that? How could there be anything wrong underneath!
But...
Professor Chen is so amazing, could it be true he has an ailment?
Recently, there had been a rumor at the emergency center: Professor Chen glanced at a 19-year-old patient and said: He has AIDS!
The test results on the instruments were all negative, but… Professor Chen managed to convince the instruments, revealing a positive result!
This event was particularly renowned in the emergency department.
Now, everyone walks past Professor Chen with caution, fearing he might abruptly say: "You have an illness!"
But...
Professor Chen said there's something wrong underneath...
Thinking of this, Zhou Hongguang's face turned red, heart filled with panic.
How could I possibly be ill?
Zhou Hongguang nervously asked: "Professor Chen… what illness do I have?"
Chen Cang stared at Zhou Hongguang, noticing his leg shaking more intensely.
Couldn't help asking: "It's said that leg shaking is a manifestation of Restless Legs Syndrome, did you know that?"
Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, Zhou Hongguang pressed his thighs firmly with both hands.
Jumped in surprise, thinking it was some weird ailment, just leg shaking…
What's the big deal!
Zhou Hongguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, Professor Chen, shaking legs helps with blood circulation, how do you find my book?"
Chen Cang glanced at Zhou Hongguang with concern.
Honestly, he didn't want the student he painstakingly nurtured into an academician to suddenly fall ill, that would be too terrible!
Thinking of this, Chen Cang said: "Still need attention, I recently read a report indicating Restless Legs Syndrome + sleep deprivation + anxiety can easily trigger cerebral and cardiovascular strokes, Director Zhou, age doesn't compare to youth, have to be careful!"
Zhou Hongguang was helpless yet amused.
Why does it feel like a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one!
Clearly you're not even thirty!
Moreover…
Pfft pfft pfft!
However, once Chen Cang closed the book, he nodded: "The book is good, but… lacks some depth, and most critically, do you think this book can create impact within a month?"
Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, Zhou Hongguang couldn't help but sigh.
He had everything needed, except for impact!
The purpose of this book he aimed to create was impact, he knew… this was too difficult!
In the academic field, there is the "Liver Transplantation" journal, plus a vast array of papers and guidelines.
Even though Zhou Hongguang, being the major director of 301, they published a few guidelines?
Know that this discipline is quite complex, not only requiring widespread recognition in the organ transplantation field but also acceptance in the hepatobiliary surgery field!
Currently, more welcomed are the practice guidelines from the European Association for the Study of the Liver.
Zhou Hongguang smiled: "Gotta try anyway, because the opportunity is so great. If really turned down… then it's turned down."
"I also kind of understand now, we in clinical work, what use are all those empty titles?"
"Standing at the peak, and not being an academician, so what!"
Actually, for anyone.
No matter the age.
No matter the achievement.
Maybe there's a need for a kind of social recognition.
For Zhou Hongguang indeed, whether he becomes this academician doesn't greatly affect him, but… if he does, this seems like a recognition and an embellishment!
Chen Cang has helped him immensely.
Moreover, under normal conditions, he has the ability to become an academician.
But…
Every industry is like this, can't help it, senior academicians are unwilling to retire.
The single vote vetoing can be quite awkward.
But, if your achievements are outstanding enough, whether he retires or not doesn't matter, you'll surely be on board!
Chen Cang understood Zhou Hongguang's thoughts, knowing what he was thinking internally.
At this moment, Chen Cang pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Lacks some content!"
Zhou Hongguang froze!
"What is it lacking?"
Chen Cang smiled: "I can help you issue this book as the first internal journal of the World Society of Digestive Surgery this year, but, clearly, your content still lacks something."
Actually, Zhou Hongguang's summary of liver transplantation is quite good.
Chen Cang looked at the name on the cover:
"Editor-in-Chief: Zhou Hongguang, Chen Cang."
This book contains many of Chen Cang's ideas.
Including some improvements he discussed with the counterpart.
Upon hearing Chen Cang mention publishing his book as the first year's internal journal for the World Society of Digestive Surgery, Zhou Hongguang was astonished!
The World Society of Digestive Surgery has huge influence!
It was initially led by the Mayo Clinic to form this world-class association.
And… Professor Chen's decision to make his book an internal journal.
In an instant, the once ambitious Zhou Hongguang… got timid!
