Chapter 1169: Chapter 1172: “Taking Advantage” in the Operating Room

Mi Di’s successful surgery seems to have little impact on Chen Cang’s life!

And as for Xue Dong being arrested, Chen Cang doesn’t feel the slightest bit of mental burden.

Chen Cang remembers Yi Shu once said: A mature person often realizes that there are fewer and fewer people to blame, because everyone has their own difficulties.

But suddenly, Chen Cang wonders, if this is a reason why people should be forgiven for their mistakes, then what’s the point of having morals and laws in this world?

Does one have to mature to the point of becoming as worldly as this earth itself?

Chen Cang thinks that if he lived in ancient times with cheats enabled, he would definitely be a heroic and suave figure.

And he would be the kind who tiptoes over roofs and secretly peeps by lifting a tile at night!

Xue Dong’s trial date is not here yet, and even when it comes, Chen Cang won’t go watch.

This sort of thing is the judge’s business, not his own.

All he did was a few things that had to be done. (Background music: The light of righteousness…)

Life goes on.

Spring seemed to pass by in just a few days, quickly overtaken by summer.

The weather is scorching hot.

The operation room, usually empty, is recently overflowing with people, and the fridge and thermostatic cabinet are loaded with ice creams for convenience after surgeries.

Truth be told, an operating room at 22 degrees constant temperature is really quite a comfy place.

Especially in summer, this feeling is most pronounced.

In fact, after spending a lot of time in the operating room, you’ll find your body ceases to regulate its temperature well, and you’ll get colds easily.

But naturally, summer isn’t about temperature differences.

Even the human body is differentiated.

At this moment, a high-stakes surgery is underway in the operation room.

It’s also an aortic replacement surgery of the chest and abdomen.

Chen Cang leads the surgery, with Li Baoshan as first assistant, and Xu Ziming, He Zhiqian, and Xu Aiqing all present.

“Hemostat!”

“Suture needle!”

…

The surgery Chen Cang is performing is orderly, and even after over twenty similar surgeries, the pressure is still somewhat high.

As the lead surgeon, Chen Cang is meticulous without exception.

However, perhaps it’s because of the summer or maybe because of the high need for precision and intense concentration, Chen Cang finds himself sweating more than usual during surgeries.

During surgery, sweating can be troublesome.

Sweat in the palms can reduce finger dexterity.

With his back getting itchy due to sweating, Chen Cang simply leans his back against Li Baoshan.

Li Baoshan, sensing what’s happening, doesn’t move away, and instead gives Chen Cang a rub.

This is quite a common thing.

After all, you can’t just stop and scratch an itch during surgery, right?

But when you start to feel itchy from sweating, it can be quite uncomfortable.

At such times, everyone tends not just to avoid movement, but also to adjust their positions and accommodate each other.

But!

After Chen Cang finishes a part, he hands it over to He Zhiqian.

Only to see this guy start rubbing himself against the nurses back and forth.

Chen Cang is stunned for a moment!

Holy cow, how come I didn’t think of that?

Moreover, when He Zhiqian’s forehead is sweaty, all he does is dip his head and wipe it on a nurse’s shoulder.

Chen Cang instantly feels jealous.

He glanced at Li Baoshan.

He found that Li Baoshan was also staring at him.

For a moment, the unwillingness was evident in both their eyes.

We are not convinced, being the lead surgeon and first assistant!

Upon exiting the operating room, Chen Cang directly expressed his disdain.

To his surprise, He Zhiqian was taken aback: “Uh… Mr. Chen, isn’t this quite common?”

“Just think about it–surgery is so tense, one surely needs some comfort to calm down. If at that moment, you have someone to rely on, it can restore your confidence!”

“Moreover, the shoulders of female nurses are softer, which makes it more convenient when wiping sweat; men’s shoulders are too rough, not suitable!”

Chen Cang couldn’t help but glance at Li Baoshan when he saw Xu Aiqing and Xu Ziming nodding as if nothing were unusual.

He vividly remembered how Director Li once told him that during surgery, it’s best to get a male colleague for scratching itches!

Chen Cang felt as if he missed the entire spring and went straight into summer!

And can the sweaty smell on a man’s body possibly be compared to that of a female nurse?

Chen Cang was emotionally charged!

So much so that he felt uneasy about things for the entire afternoon.

He sighed and looked at Li Baoshan: “Director, if you had taught me this sooner, Qin Yue and I might already have a two-year-old child by now.”

After hearing this, Li Baoshan coughed and said, “You can’t blame me for that, it was Director Qin who asked me to arrange it this way.”

After saying that, Li Baoshan felt he had successfully passed the buck.

True enough, after hearing this, Chen Cang was at a loss for words.

Chen Cang then looked at the progress bar of his guidelines exiting the operating room.

100 surgeries, and so far, 20 have been done!

The pace is neither fast nor slow.

Actually, the most important thing about surgery is the process, not the result.

Even if you complete a bunch of messy surgeries just to finish a task, earning a guidebook in the end.

But there was another issue Chen Cang needed to consider.

If he encountered another disease and didn’t have the system item, how would he obtain the guidelines for that surgery?

In fact, Chen Cang no longer relied solely on the system as he did initially; instead, he was using the system’s methods to improve himself.

After 20 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm replacement surgeries, to be honest, the first batch of doctors were already gaining some surgical skills and capabilities.

Especially when dealing with critical moments, everyone began to have their own ideas, and even when facing the impossible, they could come up with contingency plans.

However, the next day at the meeting.

Everyone encountered a problem!

Xu Ziming spoke directly: “Mr. Chen, although we have quite a number of registrants now, many people are reluctant to participate in clinical trials.”

“A lot of them are currently in a wait-and-see state.”

He Zhiqian nodded and said: “Yes, indeed, and now there’s a lot of discussion on the internet about our hospital conducting Marfan syndrome patient trials, some experts believe we don’t have the capabilities.”

“Patients are already hesitant, and with the instigation of these people, their resolve has been further shaken.”

After listening, Chen Cang immediately frowned.

Just as things were developing, they ran into a stumbling block.

But just then, the phone rang.

It was Wu Tongpu.

“Chen Cang, have you heard of the program ‘Challenge the Impossible’?” Wu Tongpu suddenly asked with a laugh.

Chen Cang was taken aback: “I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t watched it closely. Is it the show hosted by Sabella?”

Wu Tongpu nodded: “Yes, that’s right. Their team has come to our hospital. Didn’t ‘Challenge the Impossible’ third season feature a neurosurgeon who did a 40-minute mock surgery? That episode was very successful, and they asked if we had any doctors who wanted to sign up or participate.”

“I wanted to ask you, since you’re also a popular contender right now, to see if you’d be interested in joining such a reality show.”
