Chapter 517: Lucky Bag Reward.
Watching Chen Cang perform the surgery step by step, various thoughts crossed the minds of the surrounding team members.
Wang Qian was the most emotional, knowing that the gap between himself and Chen Cang had grown, but he hadn't realized it was getting wider and wider.
Clinical practice is the best classroom, and the patient is the best teacher.
In the past over three years, Chen Cang worked from dawn till dusk; it seemed he never stopped learning. A day or two's difference isn't noticeable, but as days turn to months, the intangible gap piles up like a mountain. Looking back, one might only be able to look up in admiration!
Life is like that, some people quietly move forward, others take it lightly, little do they know, every step adds up to a thousand miles, every stream can grow into a sea, a mound of earth can turn into a nine-story platform!
When you disdain, little do you know, they have already left you far behind.
Wang Qian swallowed and took a deep breath; today's experiences had left a deep impression on him. Today, he bravely took a step forward, stepping out of his own comfort zone to truly experience a trial and learn.
He also witnessed the fragility of life, and felt the helplessness before life and death. He glanced at Chen Cang and made up his mind to become a qualified emergency doctor!
After Chen Cang finished the surgery, he secured the final sternum.
Wang Qian said, "Let me do it, you take a break."
Chen Cang smiled, nodded, and did not refuse.
Watching the patient's vital signs gradually stabilize, Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
Not much later, the surgery finally ended.
This highly risky and life-threatening emergency rescue surgery was finally complete!
Anesthetist Liu Jian couldn't help but give Chen Cang a thumbs up!
During thirteen years in the field, this was the first time he had seen a doctor daring to open a chest in an ambulance.
After the surgery, the nurses wheeled the patient to the resuscitation room, waiting to be transferred to the ICU.
At that moment, the system's notification tone also rang out.
[Ding! Successfully repaired the ruptured ascending aorta, reward received: 1. Experience +5000; 2. Lucky Bag +1; 3. Stamina Potion +1;]
The rewards were quite generous, but why only 5000 experience points.
At this time, the workers from the auxiliary departments looked at Chen Cang with admiration in their eyes.
Everyone has great respect for the strong.
Especially... the strong ones who are handsome.
...
The surgery room door opened, and Chen Cang and his colleagues came out. While washing their hands, people came up to say with a smile:
"Dr. Chen, you're truly amazing!"
"Right, to tell you the truth, I have been at the Second Provincial Hospital for many years, and this is the first time I've seen a patient with an aortic rupture survive the trip to the hospital and be saved!"
"Forget the Second Provincial Hospital, I've been in Dongyang for quite some time, and it's also a first for me!"
"Yeah, with you guys here, our emergency rescue team is finally taking shape. Now who can say that our Second Provincial Hospital doesn't have a rescue squad."
Everyone was singing his praises, and Nurse Li Ying made a joke:
"Dr. Chen, impressive! Daring to operate right in the emergency vehicle, I think from now on you might as well carry a surgical knife wherever you go!"
Anesthetist Liu Jian heard this and burst out laughing: "Just carrying a surgical knife isn't enough, you'd need to bring me along too!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
With the successful rescue, everyone was in a good mood.
Chen Cang smiled, "I owe it to everyone's help. Without the team, I couldn't have saved the day!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was happy.
After all, there's no such thing as a lone ranger in the medical industry, is there? Behind every success is a team's collaboration. Hearing Chen Cang say so naturally brought relief to everyone.
That's human nature, a few nice words can make you feel so much happier, and you don't even ask for anything in return.
The news of the successful surgery hadn't even spread before Li Baoshan and the others heard about it.
Before the surgery, when Li Baoshan found out that He Tong had arrived and there was nothing much for him in the operating room, he decided to step out.
Learning about the success afterward, He Tong was surprised, then relieved and reflective.
"Director Li, it seems I truly underestimated the level of your emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2!"
Li Baoshan replied with an inscrutable smile, you underestimated us? I underestimated us myself!
He Tong sighed, "When I knew it was a patient with an ascending aortic rupture, I was really startled!"
"Just having been established, I was really worried that something might go wrong on the first day. Now it seems, Director Li, that Provincial Hospital No. 2 really has talents well-hidden, managing even to save such a case!"
"I also heard that Dr. Chen… Dr. Chen precisely identified the disease in the ambulance and decisively initiated the rescue operation. That's truly impressive!"
Li Baoshan responded lightly, "Hmm, Chen is indeed good."
Tao Zi and Xia Gaofeng walked over, looking at Li Baoshan with envy and said, "Director Li, with Chen Cang around, your job as the director of the emergency department must be comfortable."
Li Baoshan smiled, not shy of flattery. Chen is mine, and no one's taking him away.
...
...
At this time, Chen Cang, along with everyone else, also walked out of the operating room and nodded upon seeing Li Baoshan and the rest.
Li Baoshan introduced him to He Tong, "Director He, this is the Dr. Chen Cang you mentioned!"
"Chen, this gentleman is the director of our emergency center, Director He!"
He Tong, upon seeing Chen Cang in the crowd, was momentarily taken aback. In his mind, Chen Cang was at least a forty-something vice-chief physician.
Otherwise, how could he have precisely diagnosed an ascending aortic rupture and decisively performed surgery in an ambulance?
Without decades of experience, it's not something ordinary people could achieve!
But looking at this young man, who was at most in his 30s, he couldn't help but pause: "Are you Chen Cang?"
Chen Cang was dumbfounded. Was someone impersonating him?
"Director He, hello, I am Chen Cang. Is there... another Chen Cang?"
He Tong was amused by Chen Cang's reaction and shook his head, "No! It's you. Remarkable! Young man, do well in developing the emergency department at Provincial Hospital No. 2!"
"Seeing you reassures me, but… I must give you a heads up! It might be a bit exhausting later on!"
Chen Cang, hearing of hardships, his eyes filled with anticipation. He was worried about not having powerful challenges; a single encounter worth 5000 experience points could level him up in no time.
With less than a month to go before the national cardiothoracic surgeon skills competition, Chen Cang was feeling anxious.
After all, there was one Jing Ran, but who knows how many others at his level were out there across the country.
If he didn't hone his skills now, when the time came... it was uncertain where he could rank.
The national competition for young physicians requires participants to be under the age of 35, which broadens the scope considerably. Many with PhDs are under thirty, and at 35, one is already at the level of an associate chief physician. By then, age will not be your advantage, and the same goes for lacking clinical experience.
