When the Doctor Uses A Hack

"I've been to several hospitals recently to assist, and the experience has been incredibly rewarding!"

"Not to mention anything else, my skill in sneaky learning has once again played a crucial role, having successfully mastered the expert level of choledochojejunostomy."

"The more deeply I studied, the more I discovered certain details and problems with digestive tract reconstruction."

"But as discoveries are made, clinical practice is clinical practice."

"The pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer is an excellent clinical opportunity."

"In fact, it's also the most difficult surgery in digestive tract reconstruction, with the worst prognosis, the most complications, and the shortest effective survival period."

"When your depth of understanding varies, so do your perspectives and methods."

"I'm already looking forward to the surgery on Friday."

"But what Chen Cang couldn't figure out was why an ordinary early stage pancreatic head cancer surgery would earn him a special training card."

"According to the system's judgement, the difficulty and rewards are directly proportional, and it doesn't care about the patient's identity."

"The reward for this special training card must be for a boss level above a lord!"

"But looking at the patient now, it seems like it's just a very early stage pancreatic head cancer, without any metastasis or spread."

"I can't figure it out!"

"On Friday morning, Chen Cang arrived early at the Xiehe Hospital's general surgery office."

"When Sun Guangyu saw Chen Cang, his expression was a bit strange, and he hurriedly called Chen Cang over."

"Seeing this, Chen Cang walked over with curiosity, "Director Sun, what's the matter?"

"Sun Guangyu pulled Chen Cang aside and whispered, "The family has started arguing."

"Chen Cang was momentarily stunned, "Why?"

"Sun Guangyu couldn't help saying, "The second son of the Qin family wants someone from the Mayo Clinic to do the surgery on the old man, but the old man is adamantly opposed!"

"People from the old man's era are… a bit biased, and some of their ideas are deeply ingrained; they can't be persuaded and flat-out refuse to have Americans perform the surgery."

"Chen Cang was slightly taken aback; he could understand, after all, the elderly had served in the military and lived through certain wars, so naturally he would be quite conservative."

"Although he seems a bit old-fashioned in this day and age… thinking about the old man, Chen Cang actually found him rather endearing."

"By the way, Director Sun, does the old man know about his illness?" Chen Cang asked curiously.

"Sun Guangyu gave a bitter smile, "This old man, his heart is clear as a mirror; he knows everything, but his emotions and everything else are quite stable, he's positive about the surgery, there are no issues,"

"Speaking of this, Sun Guangyu seemed a bit ashamed, "It's also strange to say, it's my fault for speaking out of turn."

"He sighed and continued, "After the old man was diagnosed, the family came to me asking about the condition and the difficulty of the surgery."

"But as you know, pancreaticoduodenectomy is known for its difficulty, risks, and complications—I casually mentioned that the Mayo Clinic is currently the best hospital for this kind of surgery."

"Saying this, Sun Guangyu couldn't help but give a wry smile, "As a result, the next day, the second son of the Qin family invited a specialist in pancreatic surgery from the Mayo Clinic to come and assess the old man's condition and made some promises."

"After hearing this, Chen Cang was shocked!"

"He understood, this was where the surgery's difficulty came in—it was a challenge designed by humans..."

"But the Qin family really is something, directly inviting the Mayo medical team over; they really have reach!"

"Speaking of which, the Mayo Clinic is used to dealing with the world's dignitaries, with 5% of its patients coming from high-end overseas clients, including Middle Eastern royalty, super-officials and tycoons from around the world, or celebrities from the entertainment industry."

Upon reflection, it wasn't really a surprise.

But the impending loss of the special training card was something Chen Cang certainly couldn't accept.

Though he didn't know the level of the Mayo Clinic Medical Group, Chen Cang believed his performance in pancreatoduodenectomy surgeries was second to none.

Now, it all depended on the senior's decision.

…

…

Inside the hospital room, Qin Zhenwei said with a helpless look on his face, "Dad, I've already said, medicine has no borders. Didn't Dr. Bethune come to support our country? Xiehe Hospital was initially built by the Rockefeller family!"

Old Master Qin's face darkened as he retorted, "I believe that we Chinese can do this surgery well!"

The old master's resounding statement left his four children somewhat helpless.

Qin Zhenwei glanced at Qin Zhenhong and couldn't help but speak up, "Brother, try to persuade dad. Director Sun himself said that, right now, the best for this kind of surgery is at the Mayo Clinic. We can't just watch idly... Ah!"

Qin Zhenhong looked at his brother, unable to resist sitting beside the old master, he said, "Dad, I think the second brother makes sense. Politics should be left to politics; the welfare of the people is a separate matter. We should calculate our own interests. Didn't we learn Western techniques to control the Westerners during the Qing dynasty? Can't we do the same now?"

"We are merely using their medical expertise to treat you, and once you recover, you can then continue to contribute. Isn't that right?"

However, no matter what the Qin brothers said, the old master refused to agree, adamantly opposed to it.

He wouldn't have the surgery, nor would he allow the Americans to perform it!

Suddenly, the surgery fell into a stalemate.

With no other option, Qin Zhenhong and his brother had to ask some uncles and older relatives to persuade the old master.

With that, Xiehe became bustling with activity.

Chen Cang stood outside, watching the familiar procession of elders entering and leaving like a broadcast of the evening news.

It was truly a heart-stirring scene!

After who knows how long, Chen Cang and Sun Guangyu were called into the hospital room.

Upon entering, they saw the old master flanked by two elderly men of similar age, along with the Qin brothers, Qin Zhenhong and Qin Zhenwei.

Seeing Chen Cang and Sun Guangyu enter, the old master didn't beat around the bush but asked directly, "Comrade Chen, are you confident in your surgery on me?"

Chen Cang was taken aback, but observing the old man's determined expression, seemingly eager for affirmation, he nodded seriously, "Yes!"

After hearing this, the old master burst into laughter!

However, the Qin brothers' expressions immediately tightened.

Clearly, Chen Cang's answer at this moment was of great importance.

A slender old man beside them said with a smile, "Enough, let's not argue anymore. Let's all take a step back."

"Zhenwei just mentioned it: the experts at the Mayo Clinic acknowledged that diagnosing this illness requires a high level of skill. It's evident that Comrade Chen has true expertise."

"In my opinion, let Chen take the lead in the surgery. The few experts from the Mayo Clinic can be the assistants and participate in the surgery!"

"After all, our goal is to successfully perform the surgery. When the time comes, mutual exchange and cooperation will be the key."

Finishing his speech, he looked at the old master, "Nowadays joint ventures between Chinese and foreign entities are common. We just need to ensure we maintain the leading role, right?"

After he spoke, the several elders also started to smile.
