When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 288: Chapter 289: Jing Ran’s Gift

Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun followed Chen Cang out of the office.

The two, who had been full of ambition, were now like frost-bitten eggplants.

They originally thought they could show off their skills and impress Chen Cang, but after arriving, before they could say a word, they had already been shown up by Chen Cang’s abilities!

Just as Tan Zhonglin was about to sigh, he suddenly glanced at An Yanjun.

He soon came to a realization. Right! Why compare himself with Chen Cang?

He was here to learn the Tendon Suture Surgery, and that Chen Cang was the researcher of the Chen method, while An Yanjun and he were supposed to be from the same school of thought. How could an apprentice compare with his master?

Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

Besides, that finger bone fracture operation was a common skill in hand surgery, and it made total sense that Chen Cang knew it.

As for Chen Cang learning from him…

That was his own ability. He hadn’t even had time to teach Chen Cang, yet Chen Cang had already mastered it.

The Chen method was far more valuable than his own finger bone fracture operation. Little Chen had taught him wholeheartedly. It was this sincere attitude that was truly worth learning.

Ultimately, medicine is a discipline of experience, where everyone has their own insights and unique perspectives.

Only through exchange can progress be made.

Tan Zhonglin genuinely admired Chen Cang’s selfless attitude.

Moreover, the intricacies of the Chen method were still elusive to Tan Zhonglin. It truly was an advanced suture technique.

Comparing himself to little Chen was just seeking trouble!

After much thought, Tan Zhonglin suddenly felt that as long as he could outperform Director An, the pig trotters he had eaten over the last few days would not have been in vain.

Having made up his mind, Tan Zhonglin suddenly felt refreshed and his mood lifted.

However, what Tan Zhonglin was curious about was why Director An seemed so calm and composed now.

Could he guarantee a win against him?

Thinking this, Tan Zhonglin felt a hint of nervousness, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in the decades since his graduation…

Qin Yue walked in front of the two directors with Chen Cang, always feeling a bit uncomfortable!

After all, where does it usually happen that a junior doctor walks in front, with directors trailing behind?

But…

Looking at Chen Cang walking ahead confidently, with Director An and Director Tan respectfully following behind, she found it an odd sensation…

Most importantly, standing beside Chen Cang at this moment made her seem somewhat impolite.

Yet, every time she unconsciously slowed her pace to let the two directors go first, Chen Cang would also slow down, and once Chen Cang slowed down, the two behind casually followed suit…

Qin Yue was baffled. What was wrong with these directors?

But with the two directors present, she didn’t dare to speak or ask.

Could it be… Could it be that Chen Cang held some leverage over them?

At this thought, Qin Yue’s eyes lit up, filled with wild gossip and curiosity.

[Ding! Completion of 500 Tendon Suture Surgeries achieved, reward: Tendon Rehabilitation Guide.]

[Ding! Clinical Small Target Mission of completing 500 surgeries achieved, reward: Jing Ran’s Gift.]

Looking at the two gifts, Chen Cang unconsciously slowed his steps. The Tendon Rehabilitation Guide was self-explanatory, though currently not needed by him, it surely was something valuable.

The second item, Jing Ran’s Gift?

[Jing Ran’s Gift: Upon opening, randomly acquire one basic skill from Jing Ran.]

Chen Cang was overjoyed. It was a loot task!

Considering that these tasks all appeared from interactions with Jing Ran, Chen Cang wondered if by completing them, he could poach Jing Ran’s skills one after another?

With that thought, Chen Cang casually activated the reward.

[Ding! Opening Jing Ran’s Gift, basic skill acquired: Chest Thoracostomy (Master level).]

Chen Cang was dumbfounded. How could it be such a simple, devoid of skill, entry-level, I-already-have-it kind of ability…

Thoracic puncture is one of the most commonly used skills in clinical practice, and since coming to the hospital, Chen Cang had learned it more than just ten or eight times. Even now, it was a skill he needed to use every two or three days. Chen Cang’s thoracic punctures were quite commendable, often getting requested by doctors from the pulmonology department to consult and help with some of the more challenging punctures.

Of course, most thoracic punctures were manageable by the pulmonology doctors, but some particular cases were better handled with the help from emergency or surgical doctors.

Chen Cang’s thoracic punctures were somewhat renowned, frequently getting him tasked by the science education department to give lessons on the procedure to interns.

After all, the surgeons had a certain understanding of human anatomy and thoracic diseases.

Chen Cang’s own thoracic puncture technique was already at an advanced level, and it came with a safe special effect.

So, obtaining such a skill, to be honest, Chen Cang still felt it was a bit of a useless gift.

But something is better than nothing, and he decided to consider it an upgrade for himself.

[Ding! Detected that you already possess Advanced Thoracic Puncture Technique, automatically upgraded to Master Level while retaining the special effect.]

[Thoracic Puncture Technique: Master Level; Special Effects: 1. Precise Positioning; 2. Ultrasonic Positioning; 3. Safety;]

When Chen Cang received the system notification, he was immediately stunned. The system was definitely his flesh and blood!

Such a good father!

Could there even be such a slick maneuver?

Thinking about it, Chen Cang couldn’t help but burst into happiness.

Although it was at master level, he now had three special effects, retaining his own Safety and adding two new ones: Precise Positioning and Ultrasonic Positioning.

With any skill, master level represents the most significant gap.

Because the distance from master to perfection is so vast, you continuously improve your strength, endowing your procedure with some characteristic. Once all special effects are in place, your skill will tend to be perfect.

At this moment, Chen Cang’s thoracic puncture was a result of a combination of his own and Jing Ran’s strengths.

In essence, master level means that you have enough understanding of that specific procedure to produce two levels of special effects.

A nice gain!

It looks like I need to push Jing Ran a bit on his learning progress and strive to enhance my capabilities.

There were still two tendon suture surgeries to go through today, and while Chen Cang initially didn’t want to participate, Tan Zhonglin and An Yanjun insisted on dragging him along, leaving Qin Yue looking utterly baffled.

Out of curiosity, Qin Yue followed them.

But…

The scene in the operating room exceeded her expectations.

In the first surgery, Chief An took the lead with Tan Zhonglin assisting. Chen Cang noticed that Chief An seemed to have had an epiphany today, making great strides in skill, deeply absorbing Chen Cang’s teachings. The Chen method could now be executed proficiently.

Chen Cang couldn’t help nodding, genuinely expressing, “Not bad. Chief An did well; I think the suturing passes.”

After hearing Chen Cang’s appraisal, An Yanjun was overjoyed, sporting a smile on his face. Even the way he looked at Tan Zhonglin was filled with a sense of superiority and triumph of the major ward!

Whereas Tan Zhonglin was so annoyed he could huff and puff with fervor, eager to show his mettle.

Finding it hard to wait for the second surgery, he started operating without a word!

There was no denying that experience counts. Director Tan’s tendon suturing had made significant advancement compared to before, with the Chen method taking shape confidently, prompting Chen Cang to nod in approval again.

The three men shared a subtle smile.

Men’s happiness can be so simple!

A single tendon could bring so much joy.

Looking at the three of them, Qin Yue suddenly felt they were incredibly childish!

Just like kindergarten kids comparing who has the best toy, whose handwriting is the prettiest, or whose homework is the neatest.

She sniffed at it!

But then again… thinking about it, how could Chen Cang be so formidable!

To the point where he had two chiefs vying for his favor.
