When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chen Cang had just returned to the capital, and shortly after arriving at the hospital, he overheard a few nurses whispering to each other.

That's how he found out about the news.

Director Qiao Cheng'an is getting a divorce.

Qiao Cheng'an is the director of the ICU in the sixth department of emergency, and he has always been Yu's right-hand man.

Gentle and mild-mannered, never one to argue with others, he always displays a smiling face to whoever he meets.

Moreover, he is extremely popular!

It seems that everyone in the emergency department, when talking about Director Qiao, would say: Director Qiao is a nice person.

Back when Chen Cang was training in pancreatic surgery, it was Director Qiao Cheng'an who helped him, and that training was very successful, yielding great benefits.

Yet Chen Cang couldn't understand why such a kind Director Qiao would suddenly get a divorce?

Seeing Chen Cang come in, the nurses quickly smiled apologetically:

"Good morning, Professor Chen!"

After speaking, they hurried off to get busy, no longer gossiping there.

Coincidentally, Director Qiao Cheng'an happened to pass by.

Director Qiao is just in his forties, young and promising, with a very cultured appearance that exudes scholarly vibes.

Chen Cang couldn't understand; a person like Director Qiao gives off such a comfortable feeling, why would someone like this get a divorce?

However, sometimes life and work are two sides of the same coin.

Every family has its own difficult story.

Who can really say for sure?

Chen Cang smiled and greeted him: "Good morning, Director Qiao!"

Qiao Cheng'an still maintained his usual smile, but today his eyes were visibly bloodshot.

It was evident that he was indeed a bit haggard.

Even his usually well-groomed hair showed signs of haste today.

"Good morning, Professor Chen," Qiao Cheng'an replied with a smile.

After a brief exchange, Chen Cang said nothing more.

During the morning handover, Director Qiao returned to the ICU, and only then did Ma quietly tell Chen Cang: "Old Qiao probably really is going to divorce this time!"

Chen Cang, curious, paused for a moment: "Why?"

Ma sighed: "There were a few critically ill patients this week. While Old Qiao was on duty, his wife caused a scene in the emergency department."

"You know Old Qiao's character, he doesn't like causing a fuss, but… even a man with such a good temperament argued with his wife in the office. From what I heard… it seems to be about infidelity!"

Chen Cang was taken aback: "I don't see Director Qiao… as the type to cheat!"

Ma nodded: "Indeed, I know this very well, Old Qiao is a man of integrity, much less someone who would cheat. Who knows what's really going on!"

"Could it be… his wife's issue?" Ma couldn't help but frown and ask.

After hearing this, Chen Cang paused for a moment and shook his head.

The two chatted randomly for a couple more sentences before starting to concentrate on their own work.

Monday's time was quite precious.

In the morning, there was a major ward round, and Wu Hui, Huang Binhai, and Da Liu had all adjusted to Chen Cang's pace.

They had already mostly prepared the patients' information in advance.

Once the patients were stable, they were transferred to the inpatient department, as they couldn't stay long in the emergency.

After a week of adjustment, the number of patients in the inpatient department wasn't as many as before.

Plus, Chen Cang conducted ward rounds quite quickly, finishing before 10 a.m.

During this time, Chen Cang couldn't afford to be idle.

He had a surgery in the afternoon, and this morning, Chen Cang started organizing the list and documents sent from the Second Provincial Hospital!

Chen Cang couldn't let his guard down regarding recruitment.

After all, these would be his team members in the future, and he couldn't settle casually.

In fact, handling administrative work is much more troublesome than clinical work because many things need thorough consideration, weighing pros and cons, and...

In short, Chen Cang finally discovered why Dean Wu Tongpu gradually distanced himself from clinical work.

At noon, Chen Cang and Ma had lunch together in the hospital canteen.

But slowly, more directors came over.

"Professor Chen, I heard that the new emergency building at the Second Provincial Hospital just got built; are you short on people?"

Chen Cang paused: "Well, of course, we're short. I'm eager to find talented people. Dongyang Province is not like our capital; it doesn't have as many top talents!"

When these directors heard this, they quickly said: "Professor Chen, I have a student who just graduated with a doctorate, hasn't started work yet. I think following you would be great, what do you think?"

Once one person started, others followed suit!

Many people gradually started coming in.

"Yes! Professor Chen, my student is a diligent and reliable young man, has no partner, can't afford to buy a house in Beijing, and I think Dongyang Province is nice. He published a paper on 'Liver Transplant' last year..."

"My students are a couple, even more suitable. They can stay steady in An'yang. You know, couples tend to stay!"

...

Everyone hoped their students could find a path with Chen Cang.

Actually, teachers really care about their students.

But Chen Cang didn't directly agree.

He just hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, have them send their resumes to my email."

Upon hearing this, the directors around him all broke into smiles.

No matter what, Chen Cang didn't refuse.

This meant there was still a chance.

"Alright, thank you, Professor Chen!"

"Yes, regardless of the outcome, your intention is appreciated, Professor Chen!"

"Absolutely, after all, this is an open recruitment."

...

Back in the office, Chen Cang also spent an hour on the phone with Li Baoshan.

And then it was time for the afternoon surgery.

A not particularly difficult Intracranial Tumor Resection surgery.

This time, Chen Cang assisted while Wu Hui operated as the lead surgeon.

The surgery went very smoothly.

But just at that moment, He Zhiqian came rushing into the emergency department.

He hurriedly asked the nurse: "Where is Professor Chen?"

Seeing Director He in such a hurry, the nurse quickly responded: "Director He, Professor Chen is in surgery!"

Upon hearing this, He Zhiqian smacked his forehead!

Oh right, when Professor Chen is in surgery, he never carries his phone.

This was already a habit.

Thinking of this, he rushed towards the operating room.

Truly, the sky can hold unexpected storms!

Who could have foreseen such an event happening!

As he walked, He Zhiqian couldn't stop sighing along the way.

By the time he reached the operating room, Chen Cang had just finished the surgery.

Chen Cang was growing more and more impressed and fond of Wu Hui.

This man had tremendous learning ability.

The Intracranial Tumor Resection is an advanced neurosurgery procedure, but Wu Hui performed it remarkably well, showing hints of mastery!

Chen Cang observed the experience bar; Wu Hui was on the verge of a breakthrough.

All he needed was an opportunity.

Chen Cang contentedly said, "Director Wu, well done, very good."

Wu Hui's face flushed red; receiving praise from Chen Cang was a great honor for him.

Everyone had seen Chen Cang's Intracranial Tumor Resection surgery, which was legendary!

And just then, He Zhiqian walked in.
