When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 317: Chapter 318: Are You Ready to Be Shocked?

Chen Cang’s fair face turned red!

He felt extremely ashamed!

This was so damn awkward!

He actually didn’t pierce the pericardium with a single cut.

It was painful!

Chen Cang coughed and awkwardly glanced at the two people around him—or wait… three people?

Huh?

How did Director Xia get here!?

Looking at the eyes of the three people around him, Chen Cang took a deep breath and awkwardly said, “First time, first time…”

In his heart, he muttered: Damn it, is this really necessary?

It was his first time performing a pericardiectomy, and there were so many onlookers; this was way too embarrassing!

Hearing Chen Cang say it was his first time, Ge Huai smiled, understandingly saying, “Mhm, you’re doing very well.”

In his heart, a hundred ‘scheming boy’ comments were already posted on the bullet screen.

Chen Cang concentrated and continued with the surgery.

This time, he opened the pericardium horizontally, carefully releasing the purulent fluid.

This set of movements was awkward like an old ox pulling a broken cart, step by step, excruciatingly embarrassing.

It left the two people behind him utterly astonished and bewildered.

How should one say this?

If Chen Cang had started off performing like this, that would have been understandable, but he started off infinitely skilled, and now suddenly he became such a noob—wouldn’t that make people feel a gap?

[Acute Bacterial Pericarditis, lv40, common monster, an acute outbreak of bacterial pericarditis that has now turned into purulent fluid, with increased viscosity, chronic constrictive pericarditis could develop from long-term encapsulated suppuration.]

Because of the purulent fluid, it couldn’t be completely drained in a short time; a drainage tube needed to be placed for long-term removal.

This required making an incision in the pericardium, also known as a pericardiectomy with drainage window.

This… was a bit difficult!

Looking at the three onlookers who seemed to be watching a show, and at Ge Huai’s mocking eyes, Chen Cang really wanted to throw down the scalpel and walk away!

And then Ge Huai coughed, implying: Keep pretending, will you keep pretending?

Chen Cang gritted his teeth and started carefully.

After all… the beginning is always the hardest part, but once he finished this surgery, he would become much more skilled.

The operation slowly progressed, and for Chen Cang, excising a piece of the pericardium was too difficult.

Since making the incision was hard, let alone cutting a small drainage hole.

He knew what to do—it was simple: remove a small piece of the pericardium, then suture the cut edge to the skin underneath.

This process seemed simple, a surgical procedure that sounded completely trouble-free.

But it was enough to make Chen Cang want to cry.

The first cut, a failure!

The second cut, so ugly!

The third cut, what is this…

Even Chen Cang couldn’t bear to look.

Chen Cang’s face was so red, he hadn’t felt this embarrassed in a long time; it was so humiliating. System mom, I need to train, I need to work hard, I need to get stronger!

The three people behind him were dumbstruck…

With a variety of expressions on their faces!

At this point, even Ge Huai was baffled—could it be… that Chen Cang wasn’t just pretending?

Was this really his first time performing pericardiectomy surgery?

Looking at this crude method, it was highly likely that was the case!

After all… his face was red, and sweat was beginning to appear.

Ge Huai was slightly taken aback and suddenly felt that he had misjudged this young man.

It might really be his first time.

And finally, Meng Xi understood what Chen Cang meant— it seemed it truly was his first surgery.

When Chen Cang said it was his first time performing pericardiectomy, he didn’t mean it was his first thoracic surgery.

Now it seemed, Chen Cang was not joking.

His thoracic surgeries were amazing, especially thoracotomy, impressively masterful despite his young age. It was indeed remarkable!

“`

But… Upon reflection, this pericardiotomy, well… shouldn’t even meet the standards for a beginner.

How many incisions have been made in the pericardium?

The small opening isn’t even done properly.

Isn’t this too low-level?

At this thought, Meng Xi sighed. It seemed that Chen Cang’s current skill level must have been the result of sheer hard work.

Had he overestimated him?

Although Xia Gaofeng also felt almost embarrassingly awkward watching, but… when Xia Gaofeng took a moment to seriously remember Chen Cang’s operation, his eyelids suddenly twitched.

Chen Cang’s surgical maneuvers might have been hard to watch, but… Chen Cang’s intentions were clear, and most importantly, his choice of surgical approach seemed quite good!

There are many different methods to perform a pericardiotomy!

Each method has its own indications and technical nuances.

And the method Chen Cang was using, if one put technical skill aside, was really not bad.

Firstly, the choice of incision was great!

No need to separate too much tissue, plus minimal trauma, unlikely to enter the thoracic or abdominal cavities, very suited for patients with severe acute bacterial pericarditis with suppurative features.

Thinking this, Xia Gaofeng became very curious.

Chooses surgery methods so cleverly, but why is the surgical skill so mediocre? How could that be?

Could this be innate talent?!

At that thought, Xia Gaofeng suddenly felt that Chen Cang was truly impressive.

Unable to help himself, he asked, “Xiao Chen, is this… your first time performing this surgery?”

Chen Cang blushed with shyness and extreme embarrassment. Was it that obvious? I’m already going full speed here.

At that thought, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh, “Yes, it’s my first time.”

Xia Gaofeng smiled slightly and nodded, “Mhm, not bad, you have talent. Keep it up!”

Ge Huai was dumbfounded on the side!

Chief!

Big Chief!

Can you speak with some conscience? Even Chief Meng was able to find his conscience, how come you, as a grown man, can’t do the same?

Where did you see talent?

Where do you think it’s pretty good!

Ge Huai sighed, this was too fake.

Actually, this was just a matter of different career perspectives. The angle and height from which Xia Gaofeng stood surpassed Ge Huai by far too much.

He could quickly spot the strengths and weaknesses in an operation.

In comparison, Ge Huai was still too young.

Finally…

Who knows how much time had passed, the operation ended…

Chen Cang suddenly felt this moment was so prolonged.

It was the first time he felt a surgery to be this mentally exhausting.

But thankfully, it was over.

Successfully completed!

[Ding! Performed incision on acute bacterial pericarditis monster, gained: Skill Point +1.]

[Current mission, complete five pericardiotomies 1/5.]

Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, not bad, finally accomplished!

Surrounded by three pairs of skeptical eyes, Chen Cang couldn’t help but snort coldly.

Just wait, mortals.

Only four more operations to go, and then, I, Chen Cang, am going to dazzle all of you.

[Stare! Meng Xi’s postgraduate task third round is complete, Meng Xi is quite satisfied, gains Favorability +5.]

[Ding! Triggered the fourth round of the test mission, an impressive pericardiotomy that astonishes Meng Xi, gains Favorability +10. Mission limit: 5 days.]

Chen Cang’s eyes lit up, Meng teacher, prepare to be amazed!
