Chapter 344: Chapter 345: The truth is hard…
Only through experience does a person grow.
It was during emergency surgery at Dongda First Hospital that Ge Huai suddenly realized his own shortcomings!
A surgeon should have the “eyes of an eagle, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a woman.”
One must possess the spirit of daring and decisiveness!
The eagle’s eyes are for diagnosis, sharply pinpointing the source of an ailment.
The woman’s hands refer to surgical skills.
These can be continuously improved through learning and practice.
So, the lion’s heart is the most complex.
Because it is a form of mental training, it is a challenge for every medical worker.
Ge Huai is a lucky person, at least he broke through his own limits.
In fact, every transcendence is a transformation of the self.
At this moment, Ge Huai sat in his office, deeply moved as he watched the surgical video!
It wasn’t just the surgeon’s superb and unparalleled technical skill that shocked him.
But also the courage to make a split-second decision to perform surgery in the emergency room!
The more he watched, the more excited Ge Huai became, the more he watched, the more thrilled he grew!
This mysterious surgeon’s stature in Ge Huai’s heart soared, nearly becoming his idol.
But he swore that after this, he must go to the emergency department of the Province Second Hospital to find that doctor and have a heart-to-heart talk.
Ge Huai had a premonition!
This surgeon, this master, could very well become a life mentor who would change his life.
The more he thought about it, the more impassioned Ge Huai became.
Meanwhile, Meng Xi, standing beside him, was also somewhat surprised by the surgery.
Unlike Ge Huai, she had seen much of the world.
Yet even so, such decisive emergency operating room surgery was indeed shocking.
Abroad, the requirements for surgery are more stringent than at home, and such surgery… Meng Xi felt she might not dare to undertake it.
In fact, emergency medicine, whether domestically or abroad, has been relatively slow in development.
This type of emergency room surgery is really just a theoretical operation that most people would not dare to perform.
Although the latest medical guidelines clearly stipulate that emergency surgery is indicated in cases of cardiac tamponade with pericardial diaphragmatic hernia, how many people have that kind of courage!
Besides, the surgeon’s skill is beyond doubt, a master-level operation even more meticulous than her own.
No matter one’s talent, a person’s energy is limited.
To perform such a surgery well, without hundreds or thousands of experiences, one absolutely couldn’t achieve this effect.
Meng Xi also wanted to have a good talk with this person, to sit down and chat.
However, when he suddenly heard a voice in the surgery, why did it always seem so familiar?
Was it an illusion, or… was he thinking too much?
Why did that voice sound so familiar?
The surgical video ended.
Meng Xi shook his head. He could get off work early tonight; there was just one surgery, an operation for pericarditis, which wouldn’t take much time. He could rest up well tomorrow and the day after.
Perhaps he should go watch a play or prepare a delicious meal to treat himself.
After the meeting ended, Xia Gaofeng looked at everyone and said, “Today’s surgery, with material from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, is a real classic case of pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery. Everyone, think about it when you go back. On Monday during the shift change, I’ll ask about your thoughts. Alright, you’re dismissed.”
Everyone nodded and left.
Such surgery would leave a deep impression on any renowned doctor.
Chen Cang saw the door open, and his eyes instantly lit up, relieved that he no longer had to stand outside.
When Xia Gaofeng came out and saw Chen Cang, he smiled and said, “Little Chen, you’re here?”
He greatly admired Chen Cang for his diligence, ambition, and talent. If it weren’t for Meng Xi being his teacher, Xia Gaofeng would have poached him for himself.
However, he was curious why Chen Cang hadn’t chosen Tao Zi as his mentor.
After all, Tao Zi was also a leading figure in the field of cardiac surgery, just as reputable as Xia Gaofeng. Thinking of this, Xia Gaofeng looked forward to teasing Old Tao next time they met. He was amused at the thought of Tao Zi’s expression when he’d find out that a doctor from his hospital had chosen a mentor from Xia Gaofeng’s, eagerly awaiting that moment.
Once everyone had dispersed, Chen Cang walked in.
Ge Huai suddenly brightened, “Little Chen, right, I remember you’re from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital, aren’t you?”
Chen Cang nodded, “Yeah, that’s right!”
Ge Huai pointed excitedly at the surgery displayed on the wall and said with anticipation, “Do you know about that pericardial diaphragmatic hernia surgery from your hospital?”
“The surgeon must be a great master, right? Was it done by Director Tao of the cardiac surgery?”
Ge Huai bombarded him with several questions in a row, and Chen Cang didn’t quite know what to say.
Meng Xi couldn’t help but ask, “Little Chen, were you there at that time?”
After hearing Chen Cang’s voice, he felt it sounded familiar and recalled it was similar to the one on TV.
Chen Cang nodded and honestly replied, “Yes, I was there.”
At this, Ge Huai became excited, “Awesome! Little Chen, I tell you, witnessing such a surgery is extraordinary for you, you know?”
“Look at those surgical skills, look at that… truly impressive!”
“By the way, Little Chen, who performed that surgery? I want to pay them a visit!”
Chen Cang coughed and, seeing Ge Huai’s excitement, honestly felt a bit awkward.
However, he believed honesty was most important, and with that in mind, Chen Cang sincerely said, “That surgery… was performed by me…”
Ge Huai responded, “I’m asking who was the lead surgeon!”
Chen Cang was stunned, “It was me who led the surgery…”
Ge Huai rolled his eyes, “You? You can’t even cut a pericardium properly, yet you performed a pericardial diaphragmatic hernia repair, do you even understand the difficulty level that’s been raised several notches?”
“I’m not joking with you, just tell me quickly, I want to find time to pay a visit.”
Chen Cang was taken aback and a bit helpless…
If you don’t believe the truth, what can I do?
You see me almost every day, do you still need to come visit?
Chen Cang sighed.
It’s difficult when nobody believes the truth.
Clearly, Meng Xi didn’t believe it either; she knew Chen Cang was involved because of his explanations, but she was certain he had not performed the surgery.
After all, she was very familiar with Chen Cang’s pericardial surgeries; she had even taught him.
Watching Ge Huai and Chen Cang bicker, Meng Xi rolled her eyes, “Let’s go, there’s only one surgery today. After it’s done, go back and rest early; you also have the next two days off.”
Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang and continued, “Today, it’s a surgery for acute pericarditis, and you will perform it, Little Chen.”
“Ge Huai, give Little Chen a hand. Even though his thoracic surgeries are good, he’s just started with pericardial ones. You’ll assist in the surgery.”
After giving instructions, Meng Xi led the two towards the operating room.
