Chapter 461: Chapter 461: What You Want to Do and What You Should Do!

Because aside from costly items like hemostatic gauze that are charged separately, the cost of other common gauzes and consumables is generally lumped together and not very precise.

And every head nurse has a heart set on saving wherever possible!

Adhering to the principle of not wasting a single needle, thread, or piece of gauze, not a cent goes unaccounted for.

So, when Li Ying saw some doctors using one piece of gauze after another during surgery, it caused her chest to ache with frustration!

Not managing the household, one doesn’t know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. These are all money, whether it’s about saving money for the patient or the hospital, it’s about saving resources for the country, isn’t it?

Especially certain people, like Zhang Youfu!

This guy used so much gauze during surgery that it made Li Ying’s teeth itch with irritation.

Unfortunately… who made Zhang Youfu so sweet-tongued, and besides, he was shrewd and knew how to handle things. Every time he managed to make Li Ying happy, occasionally he would bring snacks and fruits that others gifted to share with the nurses in the operating room, which made Li Ying turn a blind eye.

If it had been Li Baoshan who was wasteful with gauze, he certainly wouldn’t have escaped a roll of the eyes, after all, considering Li Baoshan’s character…

But now, the darling in Li Ying’s eyes was Chen Cang because he used the least gauze every time!

Because during surgery, Chen Cang was very precise, and he had a good control over the bleeding points, which was a good thing.

Moreover, after the surgery, when it was time to count the gauze for him, it was always clear and straightforward, without ever forgetting or missing any.

After all… with too much gauze, one can’t keep track of the count.

Keep in mind that counting gauze is tiresome!

Especially in major surgeries with dozens or hundreds of gauzes, it takes several counts before one can get a clear count…

Counting gauze is a fundamental skill for a nurse… what every operating room instrument nurse does best isn’t organizing instruments, but counting gauze.

If you don’t count it right, you won’t be allowed to suture.

And generally, two or three people count together, checking several times before finishing up.

So now, leaving things inside someone’s stomach is truly irresponsible, with just a bit of care that would never happen.

Huang Yongyi was sent to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery by the nurses, as recovery there would be more convenient.

Zhang Wenfu followed as well.

Chen Cang and several directors were chatting, discussing today’s surgery, while Qin Xiaoyuan was enjoying the praises for Chen Cang from Xiao He and Tao Zi, feeling a unique taste inside.

Qin Xiaoyuan didn’t know when it started, but he didn’t like others flattering him. Instead, he felt great when he heard everyone praising Chen Cang!

…

…

At this time, Ji Ruyun and Huang Weiyi were anxiously waiting outside for the surgery to take place.

As for Qin Yue, she was not worried at all; on the contrary, she was comforting both of them.

Praising Chen Cang for his excellence, for how he saved children in critical condition, for how he saved the life of an eighty-year-old lady…

Basically, anything praiseworthy was said, and given time, she could probably write a novel of 3 million words!

Seeing Huang Weiyi a bit nervous, Ji Ruyun comforted him, “Weiyi, don’t worry, Uncle Huang will be fine.”

Huang Weiyi let out a sigh, “Ah… it’s all because I’ve been too busy with work to take proper care of him. Once this case is settled, I’ll make it up to him and take him out for a trip.”

“Since my mother passed away, my father’s health has been declining. I’ve been too busy to take care of him properly; it’s really my fault that I’m not good enough!”

Huang Yongyi had only one son, and his wife had passed away early, so he always treated Ji Ruyun like a daughter. Initially, he indeed intended to match Ji Ruyun with Huang Yongyi.

However, at the time, Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan were already engaged, and his own son, Huang Weiyi, had someone in mind as well.

Naturally, Huang Yongyi couldn’t play the villain.

Latter on, the two families got along very well, and Ji Ruyun always kept in touch during festivals and holidays.

While the two were chatting.

At this moment, the door to the operating room opened, and Ji Ruyun and the others promptly got to their feet.

“Doctor! How did it go?” Huang Weiyi asked first.

Tao Zi, looking at Huang Weiyi and comforting him, nodded and said, “It’s alright, the surgery was very successful, everyone can relax.”

Upon hearing Tao Zi say this, everyone’s anxious hearts finally settled.

Huang Weiyi grasped Tao Zi’s hand gratefully, “Thank you, Doctor, I really can’t thank you enough!”

Tao Zi smiled and replied, “If you want to thank someone, you should really thank Dr. Chen. He was the lead surgeon from start to finish, and the surgery was so successful because of him!”

Huang Weiyi looked emotionally at Chen Cang, grasping his hands, “Dr. Chen, I won’t say anything superfluous. If there’s ever anything you need, just say the word!”

While speaking, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Cang.

Chen Cang smiled, took the business card, and put it in his pocket, saying, “You’re too kind, it’s all part of the job.”

Qin Yue pouted and whispered to Ji Ruyun, “See, I told you Chen Cang is amazing. You didn’t believe me…”

Ji Ruyun couldn’t help but turn around and give Qin Yue a discontented look.

Huang Weiyi insisted on leaving a contact number for Chen Cang no matter what.

Huang Weiyi looked at Chen Cang: “Dr. Chen, I’m a lawyer at Weiyi Law Firm. Should you need any legal advice or assistance in the future, just reach out to me, and I’ll do everything I can!”

Chen Cang smiled and nodded, accepting the offer.

He wasn’t very familiar with Weiyi Law Firm, but he thought that knowing a lawyer couldn’t be a bad thing, could it?

With his father ill, Huang Weiyi couldn’t focus on his work and, after arranging his work over the phone, he stayed at the hospital that night.

Having money paves the way; everything is easy to talk about. Moreover, hospitalization for a bureau-level official is reimbursable. Qin Xiaoyuan was his brother-in-law, so getting a private room was a trivial matter.

Before long, the cardiology department found a double room, and Huang Weiyi and his father moved in.

…

…

After wrapping up the business, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Tao Zi still had some matters to handle.

Qin Xiaoyuan and the rest of the group then started to leave the hospital one after another.

Ji Ruyun and Qin Yue walked ahead, chatting and laughing.

Behind them walked Qin Xiaoyuan and Chen Cang.

Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but say, “Xiao Chen, this Huang Weiyi is not bad. He gets along well with your aunt and me. If you have any legal issues in the future, you can seek him out. He’s one of us.”

“By the way, you might not know this, but our hospital’s legal advisor is from Weiyi Law Firm. They have a big operation and carry a lot of weight all over Dongyang province.”

After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded and smiled, “Mm-hmm, thank you, Director Qin, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Qin Xiaoyuan hummed a response, continuing, “Actually, you’re not a child anymore. This society isn’t that simple.”

“We doctors have our advantages. For instance, we easily come into contact with people from all kinds of professions. These are your connections and resources.”

“The medical community isn’t as clean as it seems, it’s just that the dirty stuff isn’t visible to you. I know what you’re thinking, just wanting to be a good doctor.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang smiled awkwardly; indeed, sometimes he just wanted to be a good doctor.

Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but chuckle, “I used to think the same when I was young. But have you ever thought that only when you are capable can you do what you want? Otherwise, you can only do what you must do!”

“That’s just how the system works, no matter which hospital you’re in.”

“You’ve met Director Zhou Hongguang. I’ll say something unpleasant—out of so many directors at 301, why was he elected an academician? It’s because he is a department head and also a vice-president. That’s the power of resources.”

“I’m telling you all this hoping that you will consider things a bit more broadly. Meeting new people isn’t a bad thing.”

“After all, you never know who might be able to help you out.”

Qin Xiaoyuan was intentionally bringing up these matters to Chen Cang.

He was worried that with Chen Cang’s surgical talent and youthful vigor, he might look down on mundane practices.

There are many people like that!

Proud because of their talent.

Are they capable?

Very much so!

But, often they don’t end up with good outcomes.

Qin Xiaoyuan didn’t want Chen Cang to be like that.

Because when you’re not in a position to change your environment, you’d better learn to adapt to it well!
