Qin Yueâs home was in the nearby staff quarters, less than a ten-minute walk away, so she ate at home every day.
And lately, Old Chen had been acting strangely too, heading home early after finishing his surgeriesâa very rare occurrence.
At noon, the only ones left to eat together were Wang Yong and Wang Qian.
Wang Qian patted Chen Cangâs shoulder with practiced ease, âXiao Yong, Cang Er, letâs go have lunch.â
Wang Yong also finished tidying up and was ready to get up.
Chen Cang, however, said, âI have something to do at noon, you guys go ahead.â
The two nodded and left first.
After changing his clothes, Chen Cang went to the hospitalâs west gate, where a Maserati was already parked. Upon seeing Chen Cang approaching, the driver hurriedly got out and welcomed him.
That must have been Jin Qingzhiâs driver, the one who drove Chen Cang to the hospital last time.
As a second-tier city, An Yangâs economic development was average, and luxury cars worth two to three million were quite rare.
Parked in front of the hospital, it inevitably attracted a few extra glances.
Yuan Fan happened to pass by the west gate after work and saw this Beijing-licensed Maserati. Overflowing with envy, he couldnât help but mutter a few jealous words.
But just then, he suddenly saw the driver get out to welcome Chen Cang, even holding the car door open for him.
This scene left Yuan Fan dumbfounded!
He was well aware of Chen Cangâs family background.
Butâ¦
Thisâ¦
This scene was truly hard for Yuan Fan to accept.
Suddenly, an idea struck Yuan Fanâcould it beâ¦
Chen Cang might be off to do a speedy surgery?
With this thought, Yuan Fan lost all appetite for food.
He quickly took out his phone, snapped a few photos, hailed a taxi, and followed.
That day, after Jin Qingzhi had seen Chen Cang off, he had a chat with Li He. The words Li He had said at that time lingered in his mind, making him feel that he hadnât properly expressed his gratitude to Chen Cang.
Li He told him, âYour fatherâs health isnât good, and his long-term gastrointestinal problems have caused quite a bit of damage to his digestive system. And that dayâs surgery wasnât just a cholecystectomyâit included the repair of a duodenal fistula and the reconstruction of a damaged colon. Moreover, the most critical point is that Chen Cangâs surgical skills are superb!â
âLet me put it this way, Chen Cangâs repair work could reduce the recurrence rate of your fatherâs digestive system diseases, and even significantly lower the risk of intestinal damage and adhesions. Itâs just a pity that 1 was too focused on his surgery at the time and forgot to record a video.â
âOtherwise, that surgery video, even at Hospital 301, would be considered an outstanding classic case!â
After hearing this, Jin Qingzhi thought it over and decided to invite Chen Cang out for a meal to formally say thank you.
Chen Cangâs arrival livened up the entire table. It was evident that Sun Zhengwei, Guo Cheng, and the others were all familiar with the drinking scene. Chen Cang, however, didnât drink since he had surgery in the afternoon. The others drank a bit of red wine, but not enough to affect work.
As he was leaving, Jin Qingzhi thanked Chen Cang repeatedly, but this time, he didnât offer money. Instead, he insisted on becoming friends with Chen Cang.
One meal had earned Chen Cang several points of goodwill.
This brought Jin Qingzhiâs goodwill level to 35. Chen Cang estimated that this was not a low number, considering he had saved the manâs father, which should include a measure of gratitude.
It was good to make connections with someone who could potentially help Chen Luo in the future, Chen Cang thought.
But that was a story for another time.
Chen Cang still hoped that Chen Luo could stand on his own two feet.
In Chen Dahaiâs words, âIf a man has something to lean on, he loses the chance to become something substantial.â
At two oâclock in the afternoon, Chen Cang began surgery. Now, a surgery by Chen Cang took less than half an hour.
In a little over an hour, Chen Cang had removed two gallbladders!
That earned him 300 clinical experience points, and he was just 200 points away from reaching level 18.
Chen Cang was reluctant to use his experience pill, as he had hit a bottleneck in his surgical experience and couldnât break through, preventing him from advancing further.
After finishing the surgery, Chen Cang rushed back to the hospital because several inpatients that he had admitted in the past few days had surgeries scheduled for the afternoon.
It was time to level up, and Chen Cang didnât want to waste any time!
Level 20 was a turning point.
The systemâs prompt said that after reaching level 20, he would become an attending physician, which meant that his skills would reach the level of an attending physician.
Chen Cang was eager to know what changes would occur after reaching level 20!
Could it be⦠like in games, that a class change would occur?
Thinking of this, Chen Cang was filled with anticipation.
What would this class change look like!
Just as he entered the hospital, Chen Cang suddenly heard the systemâs notification sound.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have fulfilled Guo Chengâs request, helped complete three surgeries, and have received a reward: improvements to Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy techniques!]
Chen Cang was overjoyed!
He had almost forgotten about this mission.
Casually opening the reward, he heard a âdingâ sound.
Chen Cang felt a surge of surgical images and the anatomical structure of the gallbladder fill his mindâ¦
After an unknown period, Chen Cang opened his eyes!
His face lit up with joy.
As expected of an improved technique!
Using these little tricks, he could effectively reduce the complication of postcholecystectomy syndrome!
The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.
These techniques not only gave Chen Cang an additional surgical method but most importantly, they deepened his understanding of the cholecystectomy.
Only when you understand enough, can you be adaptable and flexible!
At this moment, as a number of surgical videos washed over his mind, by combining his own surgical experience, Chen Cangâs understanding of gallbladder surgery deepened significantly!
Actually, when you get down to it,
Cholecystectomy is not considered a major operation, nor is it particularly complicated compared to appendectomy, but indeed, it is quite a bit more difficult.
The difficulty mainly lies in the gallbladderâs more complex physiological structure compared to the appendix.
Thatâs why one is a level two surgery, and the other is merely a level one surgery for beginners!
The gallbladder area has something called Calotâs triangle, which must be dissected to access the gallbladder; itâs like giving the gallbladder a wall, making the âattackâ on the gallbladder more challenging.
For those challenging cholecystectomies, itâs just that the barriers are more complex, like building a moat outside the wall, setting up defensive ramparts.
The appendix, however, is less fortunate, being the boss of the beginnersâ village; it only involves separating the mesoappendix, which is akin to building a simple picket fence around it, all for show.
With the deepening of his insights, Chen Cang suddenly had an epiphany.
[Ding! Congratulations, your Cholecystectomy skill has advanced to master level!]
[Cholecystectomy, Master Level, Special Effects: 1. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy; 2. Reduction of postcholecystectomy syndrome. I
Chen Cang was thrilled!
Had he actually broken through?!
He had not expected that the improved techniques of the cholecystectomy could shatter his limitations and elevate him to master level!
It was both surprising and delightful for Chen Cang.
This was great news!
And this improved technique had also become Chen Cangâs special effect 2: Reduction of postcholecystectomy syndrome!
