Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Youâre still young, learn well from Teacher Chen!
So, starting from today, Chen Cang earned an additional nickname in the emergency department: âDirector Chen!â
Everyone felt that the title of department head wasnât flashy enough, âDirector Chenâ was far less imposing than âDirector Chen.â
Chen Cang looked flustered and uneasy, a bit nervous, glanced at Qin Yue, took a deep breath, and muttered softly, âWife, I really donât want to usurp the position.â
But, jokes aside.
The morning rounds made everyone realize that this âDirector Chenâ wasnât just a nickname earned in jest; he truly had genuine skills and knowledge.
Especially in terms of grasping the surgical needs of patients, he was exceedingly precise.
Chen Cangâs demeanor during rounds was no different from that of a director.
Shi Na, accompanied by He Lu who was holding the medical case, stood alongside Chen Cang.
After waiting for Shi Na to report the patientâs condition, Chen Cang would conduct a brief examination before adjusting the medical orders based on the patientâs situation.
He Lu looked on with some surprise: this was clearly the job of a department head.
He Lu also noticed that after they arrived in the ward, everyone treated Chen Cang with great respect, affectionately calling him âDr. Chen.â
Having only joined the emergency department of Provincial Hospital No. 2 a short while ago, everyone suddenly realized that this âDirector Chenâ was not one with an unwarranted reputation but truly skilled.
Although no one had seen Chen Cang operate, it was understood from patients that Dr. Chen might really be quite capable.
This made everyone very curious and eager to see Chen Cangâs surgery at some point!
Thus, the mystery of âDirector Chenâ became something many new doctors were looking forward to.
â¦
â¦
However, changing his name didnât work at all with Old Chen!
Having just completed rounds with Shi Na, Old Chen passed over a few medical records with a grin, saying, âDirector Chen, hold them tight. If they fall on the floor, youâll have to reprint the lab reports.â
Chen Cang gritted his teeth, boiling with rage but not daring to speak out!
However, Luo Zhou could clearly see the relationship between Chen Cang and Old Chen and felt a bit envious.
He smiled and said, âHere, give them to me.â
Chen Cang chuckled, âNo worries, Iâm used to it. Look at these biceps, developed from carrying case files!â
His comment provoked another round of laughter in the office.
With Big Chen and Little Chen present, the office seemed never to lack for joyful laughter and chatting.
Old Chen had quite a few patients to see, including Wang Yongâs, so the rounds would take a while.
Coincidentally, a patient with a hand injury arrived that morning, so An Yanjun decided to go ahead with the surgery with the new doctor Jiang Tao, prior to continuing with the rounds.
And so, the two of them headed to the operating room together.
All the way there, Jiang Tao kept asking about Chen Cang, and An Yanjun, not much of a talker, would occasionally offer a half-answer.
Young people lack patience, and when they see someone impressive, they canât help but feel a bit of pride and enter into comparisonsâitâs just normal. Who doesnât harbor a competitive spirit?
Moreover, it was Jiang Tao, freshly graduated with a PhD and brimming with youthful enthusiasm, ready to make his mark!
An Yanjun didnât think this was a bad thing. Young people should have the vigor of their age.
Besides, sometimes reasonable comparison and competition can be conducive to progress.
Butâ¦
Watching the young Dr. Jiang Tao, An Yanjun couldnât help wanting to offer a word of advice. You can compare yourself with others, or even me, but⦠just donât compare with Chen Cang; choose an appropriate target.
After all⦠comparing with Chen Cang wouldnât be competition, it would be masochism!
Finding a rival isnât a bad thing.
But if you choose an opponent youâll never beat, thatâs not particularly beneficial.
Still, looking at the ambitious Jiang Tao, An Yanjun sighed without saying much more.
After all, young people are such that they might not believe what theyâre told.
Thinking this over, An Yanjun stopped shortâwithout facing setbacks, how can one learn humility?
Maybe itâs not such a bad thing?
Just look at my age; when it comes down to it, Iâd have to call Director Chen âteacher!â
If you donât believe it⦠go have a look at the Provincial Peopleâs Hospital. My junior disciple is over a decade older than me, yet heâs also the vice-chair of Dongyang Provinceâs Hand Surgery!
So!
Humility is a good thing.
With humility, one earns their keep!
Director An actually felt a bit uneasy inside, but as soon as he thought about his junior colleague in the Department of Hand Surgery at the Provincial Peopleâs Hospital, Tan Zhonglin, he suddenly felt much better!
Even a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, far away in the Provincial Peopleâs Hospitalâs Department of Hand Surgery, as Tan Zhonglin was preparing for surgery, he felt a chill down his spine, feeling as though someone was thinking about himâ¦
Who could it be?
â¦
â¦
Jiang Tao, seeing Director An hesitant to speak, was slightly taken aback. Could there be some unspeakable reason?
Or could it be that Chen Cang actually has some powerful backing?
With this in mind, Jiang Tao decided to take advantage of todayâs opportunity to show off his abilities.
The two went to the operating room together.
It was the peak time for surgeries. The anesthesiologist was Liu Jianâs junior. After arriving, he had been learning from Liu Jian and was now starting to work independently on anesthesia.
But these were all simple anesthesias, such as the brachial plexus nerve block required for the current hand surgery.
Upon seeing An Yanjun, the young anesthesiologist Wu Bo smiled and said, âDirector An, isnât Doctor Chen coming?â
An Yanjun smiled back, âMhm, Xiao Chen has been quite busy lately.â
After some preparation, they were ready to start the surgery. An Yanjun briefly examined the patient and found the condition wasnât severe. He glanced at Jiang Tao, âHave you done surgery before?â
Upon hearing Director Anâs question, Jiang Taoâs eyes lit up, âFrequently. Tendon suturing is somewhat my strong suit.â
After hearing that, An Yanjun nodded, âYou go first. Iâll watch how you do.â
At that moment, An Yanjun was quite confident. Even if Jiang Tao encountered a problem, he believed his own skills were enough to handle it.
Seeing the chance to showcase his skills, Jiang Tao was a little excited and began to operate.
An Yanjun just watched from the side, silent.
Jiang Taoâs foundations were very solid; he had specialized entirely in hand surgery during his masterâs and PhD, with six years of steady clinical experience. The entire surgery went very well.
With measured calm and easy grace!
An Yanjun would give him 80 points!
His gaze towards Jiang Tao softened a great deal.
He was a very promising young man.
The surgery didnât take long to complete, and soon it was over.
Jiang Tao was quite satisfied with his own performance.
And the anesthesiologist Wu Bo also smiled and praised, âWell done.â
Jiang Tao smiled. It was a matter of pride to be recognized by the anesthesiologist.
When the patient heard the surgery went well, they too were elated. After all, which patient wouldnât want their surgeon to be a bit more skilled?
Jiang Tao couldnât help but chuckle, âYou flatter me, thereâs still a lot to learn.â
Upon hearing this, Wu Bo nodded, âRight, learn diligently from Director An. If you get a chance to receive guidance from Doctor Chen, youâll make great progress! Youâre still young.â
Jiang Tao was suddenly stunnedâ¦
Why did that sound so odd?
Just what was odd about it?
Something felt off about the tone!
Think it over!
Think it over againâ¦
