When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 298: Chapter 299: Thank you, Doctor Jing!

Indeed! Shi Qi was feeling quite uncomfortable.

After all, he had just been stumped by a student’s question during the lecture!

If it weren’t for other students stepping in to save the situation, how embarrassing that would have been.

Luckily, he, Shi Qi, considered himself to have a thick skin and managed to smoothly defuse the awkwardness.

Unexpectedly, at the consultation he heard that name again.

Wasn’t Chen Cang just a junior doctor in emergency medicine?

He had just been promoted recently, hadn’t he?

Why was his name popping up everywhere!

Thinking this, Shi Qi’s face darkened.

Fearing not recognizing true worth is nothing compared to the fear of comparing goods, this pit Shi Qi against Chen Cang for comparison.

The first round had already been a complete KO, and without any preparation on his part, here came the second round of PK.

…

Zhang Jinfeng’s call connected quickly.

Seeing the call from Zhang Jinfeng, Chen Cang hurriedly asked, “Director Zhang, hello.”

Zhang Jinfeng didn’t have time for pleasantries, “Chen! Come to our gynecology department immediately, 8th floor, bed 12-20, we have a patient, the fetus has spontaneous chylothorax, now there is pleural effusion, and we need to perform an immediate thoracentesis, come up and have a look.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang nodded hastily and agreed, “Alright, Director, please wait, I’ll be right up!”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Cang got up and ran towards the gynecology ward.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the gynecology ward, Zhang Yan said, “Director, the deputy director of thoracic surgery from Dongda First Hospital will be here soon… shall we wait?”

Zhang Jinfeng was focused on the image on the ultrasound machine and the various signals being transmitted, remaining silent.

Less than three minutes later, Chen Cang ran in: “Director.”

Seeing Chen Cang arrive, Zhang Jinfeng said directly, “Chen, take a look at the fetal condition yourself and see if you’re confident!”

Chen Cang nodded, walked over to the ultrasound machine to take a look, carefully observing for two minutes, and after contemplating seriously for a while,

He looked up and said, “It should be no problem.”

As these words came out, everyone around was taken aback.

Shi Qi was surprised, how could it be no problem?

Shi Qi slightly furrowed his brows, “Chen, be careful with your words.”

Chen Cang looked up and just saw Shi Qi, and replied with a slight smile, “Thank you for your concern, Director Shi.”

Shi Qi was startled, suddenly at a loss for words.

When tf did I ever care about you?

Shi Qi shook his head, “I am considering the patient. I have never heard of this kind of puncture before, one slip and it could damage the fetal heart and lungs, the controllability is too low!”

Chen Cang looked not at Shi Qi, but at Zhang Jinfeng, “Director Zhang, are there any other treatment options?”

Zhang Jinfeng shook his head, sighed, and looked at Yang Siqi and her husband, saying, “Right now, the only thing that could save the child is this kind of puncture. There are definitely risks, but we will do our best to minimize them, and now you need to make a quick decision.”

After speaking, Zhang Jinfeng turned to Zhang Yan, “Xiao Zhang, go get the consent forms for the family to sign.”

The ultrasound doctor then said urgently, “We can’t delay any longer! Director, we must act fast, the fetus’s tolerance is likely decreasing, the fluid needs to be drained quickly, or else… even without treatment, it’s over!”

At these words, Yang Siqi’s face changed, “I’ll sign! I’ll sign it, I’ll listen to the director, Director Zhang, you must do your best to save the child, please!”

Zhang Jinfeng nodded, “Don’t worry, we definitely will do our best.”

After saying this, he looked at Chen Cang, “Chen, start getting ready quickly.”

Chen Cang nodded, “Doctor Zhang, prepare a chest drainage kit for me.”

After speaking, Chen Cang went over to the patient, “Lie flat…”

Chen Cang turned to Cheng Xin nearby, “Cheng Xin, help me tilt the bed up, try to incline it between 30 and 45 degrees.”

Cheng Xin quickly nodded and began tilting the bed.

Soon, everything was ready!

Chen Cang looked around, seeing no one available to assist, and his gaze settled on Shi Qi, “Director Shi, could you give me a hand?”

Shi Qi’s face changed, and he wavered, “I don’t agree with this surgical approach, so I won’t cooperate.”

Zhang Jinfeng was taken aback, not expecting Shi Qi to react like this.

He was momentarily dumbfounded.

Even several of the department heads were stunned. Disagreement with the approach?

Zhang Jinfeng almost cursed out loud!

You coward, are you worried about the repercussions on yourself?

Such a disgrace!

But, out of respect, Zhang Jinfeng scoffed, “Come on, Chen, I’ll help you.”

At that moment, a man suddenly ran in.

“Hello, Director Zhang, I am the deputy director of thoracic surgery from Dongda First Hospital, Jing Ran.” a neatly dressed man with an air of sophistication walked in.

Zhang Jinfeng was startled then smiled, “Ah, Director Jing, nice to meet you!”

“Let me brief you on the situation.”

After Zhang Jinfeng explained in detail, he looked at Jing Ran, “Doctor Jing, what do you think?”

Jing Ran slightly furrowed his brows, “It’s challenging! But indeed, it’s the best treatment plan.”

Shi Qi couldn’t help but interject, “Director Zhang, you see, you can’t simply listen to a junior doctor; the director from Dongda First Hospital is also saying so, I think we should be more cautious!”

Jing Ran glanced sidelong, just in time to make eye contact with Chen Cang, his interest piqued, “Doctor Chen?”

Chen Cang, in response, nodded, “There’s no time, let’s start the preparation, Doctor Jing, assist me.”

Chen Cang might have trouble ordering others around, but giving orders to Jing Ran seemed to be smooth sailing.

After all, they had previous experience.

In the ears of others, however… this seemed a bit peculiar.

Zhang Jinfeng himself was somewhat astonished, this Chen… quite the character, ordering around the director from Dongda First Hospital!

And Shi Qi almost laughed: Who do you think you are? Ordering around other hospitals’ directors! Truly ridiculous.

But then, to everyone’s surprise, something unexpected happened.

Jing Ran quickly nodded and skillfully put on his gloves, moving to the assistant’s position!

“All right, Dr. Chen, we can start now!”

Chen Cang gave a slight nod and said to the Ultrasound teacher, “Teacher, could you please check this location for me and then make a mark.”

The Ultrasound doctor nodded, instantly understanding Chen Cang’s intention.

Soon, everything was ready!

Chen Cang watched the images on the Ultrasound machine, waiting for the moment when the child was relatively still.

At this time, Shi Qi stood by, curiously looking on.

Seeing this, Chen Cang coughed and said to Zhang Jinfeng, “Director Zhang, please ask all the nonessential personnel to leave.”

Zhang Jinfeng hurriedly nodded, but after looking around, he didn’t see any nonessential personnel, huh?

Suddenly, Zhang Jinfeng’s gaze settled on Shi Qi, “Director Shi, um, there’s nothing for you here, you can go busy yourself with other matters. Staying here, you won’t be of much help!”

The remark was already quite face-losing!

But who was Shi Qi?

What was ‘face’ to him?

Shi Qi shook his head: “Director Zhang, I’m not busy.”

Zhang Jinfeng looked for a while, then suddenly said, “No, Director Shi, you’re blocking the light standing there. Look how dark it is by little Chen, he can scarcely see!”

Shi Qi was almost driven to cursing aloud by that comment!

They were already using lights, and the puncture was to be done inside the belly, where there was an Ultrasound machine. What need was there for light!

Chen Cang himself almost laughed!

Ginger is indeed spicier when it’s old!

Cheng Xin was about to leave when Chen Cang suddenly said, “Cheng Xin, come take a look. This is the core of Ultrasound-guided puncture.”

At his words, Cheng Xin’s face lit up with happiness and she stayed.

Shi Qi was startled, damn, did that just single him out as the only “nonessential person”?

At this thought, Shi Qi left in a huff!

After exiting, Shi Qi didn’t feel like leaving. He stood at the door, not moving, snorted coldly, and thought: what if something goes wrong while I’m gone!

…

…

Chen Cang then began the procedure.

The position of the child soon stabilized, and Chen Cang passed a color to Jing Ran.

Jing Ran instantly understood and handed over the prepared 15cm-long puncture needle!

Chen Cang took the puncture needle, carefully inserting it through the abdominal wall into the uterus and through the amniotic cavity. Under Ultrasound guidance, he timed it perfectly and inserted the needle into the fetus’s chest cavity!

The entire process was fluid!

Without a hint of hesitation!

Not even the slightest bit of doubt!

It appeared effortlessly smooth.

Yet the dangers were crystal clear to everyone involved.

Chen Cang quickly said, “Prepare to draw fluid!”

This chest puncture was different from those in the past; it required one person to stabilize the puncture needle and another to help withdraw the fluid. Otherwise, if an accident occurred, it would be difficult for one person to react.

Jing Ran quickly started the operation!

The whole operation was somewhat similar to amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood sampling, but was clearly more difficult.

After the first chest puncture, Chen Cang extracted 150 milliliters and then began to withdraw the tube!

The Ultrasound doctor suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “It’s good! The heartbeat has recovered a lot… and even the alveoli have begun… ”

Chen Cang put down the puncture needle and looked at Zhang Jinfeng, “Director Zhang, I need to draw fluid two more times. That’s all for this time. Let’s admit the patient into the hospital first.”

Zhang Jinfeng was overjoyed and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes!”

“Little Chen, you are truly impressive!”

At this time, everyone in the ward was engulfed in celebration.

Yang Siqi was full of surprise and delight, the feeling of going from despair to hope was truly unexpected.

Looking at Chen Cang, “Dr. Chen, I can’t thank you enough!”

Wei Junming excitedly grasped Chen Cang’s hands, shaking a little, “Dr. Chen, I owe you a lifetime of gratitude!”

They had witnessed the entire procedure of this puncture surgery and knew how difficult it was.

But Chen Cang had actually succeeded.

With this in mind, both were overwhelmed with joy and cried uncontrollably!

And Cheng Xin looked at Chen Cang with adoration, so impressive indeed.

Jing Ran sighed, Dr. Chen was truly impressive, but… for some reason, this set of thoracic puncture techniques seemed so familiar.

It seemed… something he had seen before!

Yes!

It was so similar to his own chest puncture technique… but yet, it was even more effective, especially its stability.

With this realization, the way Jing Ran looked at Chen Cang changed completely, so impressive!

Chen Cang turned and faced Jing Ran’s admiring eyes, feeling a bit unnatural, he awkwardly smiled, “Thank you, Dr. Jing!”

Jing Ran was taken aback, “No! This is what I should do.”

“It’s an honor to witness such a rare thoracic puncture technique, it really is… truly breathtaking!”

Chen Cang still insisted, “It was all thanks to Dr. Jing!”

Jing Ran sighed, Dr. Chen was so polite and courteous, merely doing some menial tasks, yet so grateful.

By now, Zhang Jinfeng’s looks of appreciation towards Chen Cang grew even more, far surpassing that good-for-nothing in thoracic surgery.

Really nice!

“Little Chen, you are really amazing. Actually… even though I said so, I didn’t have much confidence either, but we were lucky to have you!” Zhang Jinfeng remarked with emotion.

Chen Cang gave a slight smile.
