When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: What is a good-looking and useful girlfriend?

Actually, Wu Yushu brought over by Chen Cang was just a catalyst.

Tao Zi had been feeling uncomfortable about this matter for quite some time.

Cardiothoracic surgery is indeed a part of the surgical system, and it’s true that surgeons often have slightly inferior diagnostic abilities compared to internists.

That’s the undeniable truth.

However, when Tao Zi saw the doctors in his department neglecting even to carry stethoscopes, he became quite angry.

Tao Zi’s words were effective, at least now everyone looks professional during rounds, listening intently with stethoscopes in hand.

Don’t think that having more seniority necessarily means you’re better than the students. Medical knowledge is complex; if you don’t review it, you’ll forget it just the same.

Therefore, we must strengthen the doctors’ diagnostic skills. You are not surgical machines, nor do you rely solely on instruments to diagnose patients; you are doctors!

…

…

Chen Cang’s life used to be a simple case of going back and forth between two points, but now he had an additional task: every evening, he had to make sure to take Qin Yue, his little bootlicker, out for a walk to boost their rapport.

Like at this moment: [Ding! Walk successful. Qin Yue rapport +1.]

Indeed, dating can strengthen a relationship, which makes perfect sense.

The only thing that doesn’t seem to make sense is why his rapport with Dean Qin would decrease?

[Ding! Qin Xiaoyuan rapport -0.5!]

Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh.

Forget it, forget it!

I have Qin Yue; why would I be afraid I can’t handle you?

Chen Cang shook his head, completely unfazed, showing no sign of stress.

There was a park next to Provincial Hospital No. 2. On summer evenings, it buzzed with activity. Listening to the ladies dance, Qin Yue would occasionally join in for a while.

Around ten o’clock, Chen Cang dropped Qin Yue off downstairs and watched her go upstairs happily, which greatly improved his mood.

When he got home, he discovered a missed call from Director Tao Zi.

Chen Cang promptly returned the call: “Director Tao, were you looking for me? I didn’t hear the phone earlier.”

Tao Zi couldn’t help but mutter a complaint to himself, but still spoke cheerfully, “About tomorrow, Wu Yushu is scheduled for surgery, and since he’s essentially a patient you brought in, I will perform the operation personally. If you have the time, come and lend me a hand!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became excited. To be honest, Director Tao had really treated him well; the last pericardiotomy was taught to him by the director himself, and including the task of five operations, none of it could have happened without Director Tao.

Director Tao truly treated Chen Cang well, even better than Qian Lin—at least he always had Chen Cang in mind.

Chen Cang’s face lit up with joy, and he said with a laugh, “I’ll have time, definitely have time, heh heh! Thank you, Director, thank you so much! I’m really grateful to Director Tao!”

Tao Zi chuckled. It really did come down to personal chemistry; Tao Zi genuinely liked Chen Cang. Even though Chen Cang did not choose to report to him as a mentor, Tao Zi couldn’t help wanting to support this young man.

Because he truly admired Chen Cang, Tao Zi felt Chen Cang was gifted and had a bright future. So even though he scolded Chen Cang verbally, when it came to surgery, he still wanted Chen Cang to learn something.

Hearing Chen Cang’s response, Tao Zi couldn’t help but chuckle, pleased with the young man’s perceptiveness: “Alright, I’ll notify you of the specific time tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Chen Cang thought of Tao Zi’s slightly stern face behind his glasses and couldn’t help but smile.

Chen Cang had a Skill Book for constrictive pericarditis surgery, which he decided to activate and entered the training space.

The familiar scene unfolded before Chen Cang’s eyes, still in teaching mode.

He went through another session of learning about the anatomy of the pericardium, heart, blood vessels, and the chest wall.

Every training session, this process was indispensable. While it wasn’t a bad thing for Chen Cang, the only downside was that recently, whenever he looked at someone, he couldn’t help but think where would be the best place to make an incision if their heart had issues.

The next part of the lesson was about the location of the incision.

The position of the opening in pericardial surgery can make a significant difference, as it requires choosing an appropriate entry point based on imaging to better expose the surgical field. What seems like a minor issue can actually have a huge impact.

As one surgery after another appeared before Chen Cang, he simulated and dissected over and over again, turning each experience into knowledge that entered his mind.

Chen Cang didn’t know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes again, and the system prompt sounded.

[Ding! Constrictive Pericarditis Surgery: Master level; Special effects: 1. Safety: Skillful technique allows you to avoid damaging many unnecessary blood vessels, nerves, and the endocardium. 2: Thoroughness: Precise and delicate maneuvers let you skillfully dissect and separate the pericardium, improving the success rate of the surgery.]

Chen Cang looked at the two skills, very pleased!

However, his gains were far more than that, including many things, such as the choice of incision. Even though it wasn’t a special effect, Chen Cang felt it was not any less critical than a special effect.

…

…

After washing up, Chen Cang went to bed early, opened his phone, and saw that Qin Yue, the little bootlicker, had sent him a message.

“Since we’ve been apart, this is the 18th time I’ve missed you.”

Chen Cang couldn’t help but smile when he saw the message. He really wanted to post on Moments, “What’s it like to have a cute girlfriend?”

No, that’s not right!

At that thought, Chen Cang suddenly realized he seemed to have inadvertently completed a task!

With this in mind, he didn’t delay in replying to Qin Yue but hurriedly opened the virtual screen’s reward claim interface.

As he suspected!

Chen Cang saw two unclaimed rewards.

One was a daily task, a small lucky bag.

And the other was:

[Ding! Task completed: Having a good-looking girlfriend, reward obtained, Jing Ran’s basic skill: Rib Internal Fixation Technique!]

[Rib Internal Fixation Technique: Master level; Special effects: 1. Firmness; 2. Precision.]

Chen Cang was a bit surprised; this skill was great, and it was a master-level skill.

It belonged to a commonly used thoracic surgery skill.

Alas, he had accidentally shorn Jing Ran’s wool again.

The Rib Internal Fixation Technique, technically termed Rib Fracture Internal Fixation Technique, is a skill often used in thoracic surgery.

Well, if you’re a bit poetic, the ribs could be considered windows to the heart!

However, Chen Cang didn’t understand. Was Qin Yue, the little bootlicker, not good enough?

One should know that the second girlfriend task was [Find a girlfriend who is both good-looking and useful!]

Chen Cang thought his little girlfriend was quite fun, wasn’t she?

So why didn’t it count as both good-looking and useful?

This left the simple-minded Chen Cang somewhat puzzled.

Oh well, better to tease the little bootlicker and go to bed early.

With that thought, Chen Cang sent an emoji of patting the bed, signaling her to come sleep.

Qin Yue, the playful one, directly responded with a Teddy emoji sticking out its tongue and drooling.

Chen Cang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

If this girlfriend isn’t fun, where else could he find one that is?

Yep, my girl is the most fun!
