When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Director An’s Breakthrough!

On Monday morning during the shift handover, Li Baoshan brought some news.

“I have good news for everyone; our Emergency Department’s talent recruitment plan has been completed. We’ve brought in a deputy chief of thoracic surgery and a doctoral graduate in hand surgery. They might start working within the next month. When that time comes, everyone’s burden should lighten a bit.”

At this point, Li Baoshan looked at Chen Cang: “Especially you, Chen. You’ve really worked hard during this time. Once our new members arrive, you’ll be able to rearrange your own time.”

“You should also adjust your schedule a bit, since as a graduate student, you need to learn some real stuff, not just for the sake of a degree. After all, in the future, the care of our emergency department’s cardiac cases will still depend on you, and your responsibilities are not light!”

Li Baoshan was rarely happy, and everyone else also smiled.

Seeing the progress and development of the provincial hospital’s Emergency Department, everyone’s spirits were increasingly high.

Meanwhile, Director An had been profoundly engrossed in the Chen Method, not going anywhere during the recent National Day holiday, staying at home every day to buy pig trotters and chicken feet for his wife, wholeheartedly studying and pondering the Chen Method.

Throughout the morning, several patients arrived consecutively, and Chen Cang and An Yanjun headed into the operating room to begin the day’s Tendon Suture Surgery.

Today An Yanjun decided to give it a try on his own; after all, after seven days of intense focus, he definitely should have made a breakthrough!

This time, he was determined to impress Chen Cang!

So, upon entering, An Yanjun volunteered, “Chen, shall I do it? You can give me some guidance.”

Chen Cang nodded: “Alright.”

Chen Cang opened his task panel and saw that the Tendon Suture Surgery had been performed 499 times, just one short of completing the 500 surgeries milestone and also reaching the minor surgical goal. Chen Cang was curious to see what he would get upon achieving this minor goal.

With this in mind, Chen Cang was not in a rush; he was certain he would complete the task today.

After the anesthetic took effect, An Yanjun began the suturing work.

Looking at the extent of the tendon damage, An Yanjun tried to forget the other suture techniques he had learned initially and recalled Chen Cang’s method, considering how to proceed based on the patient’s condition.

Chen Cang stood by, observing. During this time, Director An had been studying diligently, but he had yet to break through in Tendon Suture Surgery, and Chen Cang was also looking for the reason why.

However, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Director An’s suturing skills were very good, and the methods he chose were not bad either, but why couldn’t he break through to mastery?

Chen Cang was curious too!

Although he was there to guide, in the end, with medicine, one probably has to rely on oneself.

At that moment, the surgery began, and An Yanjun started the suturing work.

With practiced techniques and impeccable sutures, everything followed a clear pattern, and Chen Cang watched closely.

Finally, he vaguely discovered something!

Chen Cang felt a surge of joy within— he had found it!

He finally understood what it was.

Director An’s suturing was too… strict!

That was it!

It was too deliberately following a set of rules, lacking a kind of creativity.

This might be related to Director An’s personality.

Director An has a very strong sense of principle in his personal and professional life, adhering strictly to the hospital’s protocols and procedures, rarely making mistakes.

Similarly, this was how he sutured!

His understanding of the methods was profound, and his progress with the Chen Method was rapid, even seeing some results.

But what is the core of the Chen Method?

It is adaptability!

Director An, in his adherence to strict rules, was learning Chen Cang’s suturing techniques, not the thought process.

“`

With that thought in mind, Chen Cang looked at An Yanjun’s suturing and suddenly said, “Director An, when you are suturing the last part, try using the Bunnell suture method to remove the wire knot operation.”

An Yanjun gave an acknowledgment and nodded in agreement.

After some reflection, he began suturing!

However, as he inserted the double-needle suture, An Yanjun suddenly paused.

In his mind, like a flash of lightning, countless clues and an abundance of inspiration passed by!

Spontaneously!

An Yanjun’s brow lifted in joy, a sincere happiness spreading in his heart!

It seemed he had suddenly found the crux of the issue.

For years, the obstacle that had been in his way was suddenly overcome.

In this moment, he felt his Tendon Suture Surgery skills had made a qualitative leap!

Indescribable, but that was the feeling.

Moreover, he found that his mastery over the Chen technique was deepening too.

But An Yanjun did not let his guard down; at this moment, he finally understood why Chen Cang had him suddenly use this suturing method half-way through, because the essence of the Bunnell suture method lay right here!

An Yanjun also instantly recognized his shortcomings, and in a flash of realization, he understood that in learning Tendon Suture Surgery, he had been confined to a dogmatic box, lacking the ability to skillfully apply various methods.

This limitation had held him back!

And if it weren’t for Chen Cang, An Yanjun wouldn’t know how long it would have taken him to break through!

In fact, having Chen Cang around was truly a stroke of luck; finding someone like him was indeed difficult!

Yet, a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to An Yanjun.

If Chen Cang could understand his shortcomings and assist in his breakthrough… did that mean he was completely capable of mastering any tendon suture technique?

Realizing this, An Yanjun involuntarily swallowed.

When Chen Cang first arrived in emergency, he knew nothing about Tendon Suture Surgery.

Back then… it was he who had taught him…

An Yanjun couldn’t help feeling a surge of emotions.

However, considering Chen Cang’s natural talent for skin suturing, his excellent vascular suturing skills… An Yanjun had an epiphany.

Chen might have a special knack for suturing and mending, right?

At this moment, An Yanjun nodded, people indeed need to have talent, and it seems Chen has found the right direction.

The surgery concluded!

Chen Cang received a long-awaited system prompt.

[Ding! Under your guidance, An Yanjun’s Tendon Suture Surgery has broken through to an advanced level, successfully earning +3 Skill Points!]

Now with 20 skill points in hand, Chen Cang possessed the ability to handle even the most complex cases, at the very least he would not be at a loss anymore.

In the morning, Director An was called away for a consultation, and emergency received a patient with finger trauma.

However, the patient’s condition was slightly more serious, with a fracture in the phalanx that also required stabilization.

After completing the necessary examinations, Chen Cang began organizing the surgery.

About to break the milestone of 500 surgeries, Chen Cang decided to let Qin Yue, the bootlicker, join in the momentous occasion.
