When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Everyone says that as people grow old, they revert to childhood, regardless of their status or wealth.

Every person, once advanced in age, tends to act like a child.

Unteachable and unscoldable, they need to be coddled.

After such a commotion, the old master finally agreed.

Chen Cang would be the chief surgeon while the team from Mayo would assist, together conducting the surgery.

In the room, three elders and the two Qin brothers, every gaze fell on Chen Cang.

Chen Cang didn't shrink back!

Confidence surged through him from his flawless pancreatic surgeries, how could the Mayo Medical Center pose a threat?

Facing everyone's scrutiny, Chen Cang nodded with a smile.

Curiosity turned to reassurance among the elders.

Being long accustomed to high positions gifted them the discerning eyes of a deity, with an aura of authority in their calm. However, when facing Chen Cang.

The young man managed to meet their eyes head-on, an evident reflection of his abundant confidence and poise.

The elders each cracked a smile at this.

After they left the room, Sun Guangyu hurriedly began to prepare for the surgery.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhenhong and Qin Zhenwei called Chen Cang aside after they emerged.

Qin Zhenhong had more trust in Chen Cang and was more compliant with the old master's words. He patted Chen Cang on the shoulder, "Chen, I won't say much more. Just perform the surgery well. I believe in you!"

Chen Cang nodded with a smile.

Qin Zhenwei, however, felt differently. The personalities of the eldest brother and the second brother often differed in most families.

Still lacking full trust in Chen Cang, he glanced at Qin Zhenhong, then addressed Chen Cang, "Brother, Dr. Chen, I have a suggestion!"

"During the operation, the old man will certainly be asleep from anesthesia. Since it's just assisting the surgery, who acts as primary and who assists isn't so crucial. The team from Mayo has been working together for a long time. If you're the chief surgeon, there will definitely be a lack of coordination. So, my thought is… Dr. Chen, let them take the lead during the operation!"

"Don't worry, once this is all over, I'll be sure to thank you properly!"

Qin Zhenhong frowned, looking at his younger brother, not sure what to say!

Chen Cang also sighed!

It seemed that, at any time, for any surgery, the most crucial element was always to communicate well with the patient's family.

At that moment, Qin Zhenwei led Chen Cang into a meeting room, where Chen Cang also saw four foreigners.

Behind them were several nurses and on the table lay a set of instruments.

Chen Cang knew Mayo's protocol, which typically included training a surgical assistant specifically for the chief surgeon, aside from the surgeon himself.

Mayo had an even more refined division of labor, having developed these specialized surgical assistants!

They would assist with exposing the surgical field and handling retractors, and would even help with abdominal closure.

Among them, a role known as "first assistant."

With longer training, higher standards, and more operational authority.

This truly was the epitome of specialization in the field.

The group from Mayo on this visit included the top medical team; one chief surgeon, one deputy chief surgeon, two first assistants, and three nurses, with a complete set of instruments.

It was clear, the Mayo Medical Center was taking this seriously; after all, to them, it was just an early-stage surgery for cancer of the pancreatic head.

Ford Dumps was the chief surgeon for this operation and was also the leading figure in pancreatic surgeries at the Mayo Medical Center.

Seeing Qin Zhenwei and his group enter, Ford smiled, "When do we start the surgery, Qin?"

Qin Zhenwei returned the smile, "Soon, the operating room is being prepared."

Hearing this, Ford immediately nodded, "Alright, Lisa and the rest of you, head to the OR and start setting up the surgery, switch to our instruments."

Sun Guangyu was about to arrange for the nurses to lead Lisa to the operating room.

But at that moment, Chen Cang suddenly spoke up, "No need, our instruments will suffice. If we switch, it won't feel right to me."

His words left everyone in the room stunned.

Upon hearing this, Sun Guangyu felt an inexplicable thrill in his heart; the statement was refreshingly assertive.

Chen Cang had spoken in English, so Ford and his team clearly understood every clear-cut word.

Ford looked at Chen Cang curiously, "Who are you?"

Chen Cang smiled, "Hello, I'm the lead surgeon for this operation, Chen Cang."

Ford and his group were momentarily stunned by Chen Cang's words.

They exchanged glances, then turned to look at the Qin brothers.

Qin Zhenwei was also taken aback.

Chen Cang knew that this was not a time for argument but a time when he needed to conquer the opposition with his skill.

Chen Cang's eyes sought out the limits of the cancer, aiming to ensure the old man's quality of life, an enormously important ability.

He already had diabetes; how much of the pancreas to remove?

And what did a pancreaticoduodenectomy entail?

Pancreaticoduodenectomy includes exploration, resection, and gastrointestinal reconstruction as three major steps.

Exploration is a necessary step to determine whether resection is possible!

The resection involves removing the pancreatic head, pyloric part of the stomach, the entire duodenum, the lower part of the common bile duct, and regional lymph nodes!

And the final reconstruction involves anastomosing the common bile duct, pancreatic duct, and stomach to the jejunum.

With such an operation, they trusted Chen Cang...

To put it bluntly, Chen Cang wasn't even sure he could trust them!

This was no minor surgery to hand over lightly; Chen Cang was not just concerned about this special training card but even more about the old man's postoperative condition.

He believed he could do it well.

Thus, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned tense.

Ford looked at Chen Cang apologetically with a smile, then glanced at Qin Zhenwei before speaking, "I trust Dr. Chen's skills, but we have a complete team. Dr. Chen's joining might affect some operational details. I believe our pancreas surgeries are quite satisfactory."

"Of course, Dr. Chen is welcome to observe on-site."

After these words were spoken,

Both Chen Cang and Sun Guangyu visibly shifted.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the old man's security officer walked in.

Two other elderly gentlemen followed.

"Director Sun, turn on the operating room camera. The old man wants to watch Chen Cang operate. We two old fellows would like to learn something too."

This statement caught Qin Zhenwei off guard.

With this sentence, his tricks were completely exposed.

Qin Zhenhong couldn't help but shake his head; the older ginger is indeed spicier.

The old man knew his sons all too well.

Sun Guangyu nodded, "Yes, okay."

At this moment, Qin Zhenwei looked helplessly at Ford and nodded, "Mr. Ford, my apologies, but my father wishes for you to work with Dr. Chen to complete this surgery."

"At the same time, he also hopes for Dr. Chen to be the lead surgeon for this operation."

Upon hearing this, members of Ford's team were dumbfounded.

To assist this young man?

The folks from the Mayo Clinic group thought Ford would refuse.

But contrary to expectations, Ford looked at Chen Cang with interest and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I don't mind."

After speaking, Ford gazed at Chen Cang, "I'm looking forward to Dr. Chen's surgery, to witness the pancreaticoduodenectomy of China's Xiehe."

Ford was obviously a bit unhappy, but he wouldn't say it out loud; this was China.

Chen Cang felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this and said with a smile, "In that case, Director Sun, you will be the first assistant, and Director Zhuang Yueming will be the second assistant. As a guest from afar, let Mr. Ford witness our Xiehe's pancreaticoduodenectomy!"

"Mr. Ford, I'll allow you to observe the surgery on-site."
