When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: It’s so hard for me!

Translator: 549690339

After finishing the puncture, Wang Qian said to Chen Cang, “Cang Er, hold the Mirror for me.”

Surgery really is a physically demanding job.

Stooping down and watching the image transmitted by the laparoscope, while still operating with your hands, is indeed quite strenuous.

Moreover, the most challenging part isn’t that, but the fact that you have to operate the instruments in your hands while watching the screen.

It’s a bit like playing a video game.

The biggest difference from a game is that you don’t have the opportunity to fail.

If you lose in a game, you can start over; if a person dies, they can never come back.

Therefore, this requires a keen sense of space and operational awareness.

Performing surgery under a laparoscope, or any endoscopic surgery for that matter, is an exercise in spatial perception.

Nowadays, to be a qualified and exceptional surgeon, you need to possess a variety of skills.

Watching Wang Qian’s cautious demeanor, Chen Cang also began to hold his breath and concentrate, not daring to interrupt.

This indeed demands a heightened sense of spatial awareness, as after all, you don’t open the abdomen and many procedures rely on the images on the screen.

The appendix was obviously inflamed with pus and swollen, about 5 to 6 centimeters long, with numerous adhesions around it, and a lot of purulent secretion could be seen in the middle.

Next was to separate the adhesive bands, get close to the appendix, puncture through the mesoappendix with curved forceps, and with that hole, secure the mesoappendix and appendicular blood vessels with titanium clips.

…

The surgery progressed methodically, and Chen Cang was a proud little assistant holding the Mirror.

But Chen Cang also noticed some differences.

While laparoscopes are useful and convenient, meeting modern needs, they still fall short in many aspects, such as handling details, compared to open surgery.

An opening for open surgery wouldn’t be very large either—six to seven centimeters is enough—but the handling of details is more exacting and tests the doctor’s level.

Plainly speaking, modern technology has turned many surgeons into operators of instruments.

With the help of these instruments, they can quickly reach a fairly competent level.

However, to truly strive for perfection, one must rely on the combination of skill and technology.

It’s like carving.

A modern template carving machine can quickly carve out a picture.

But a master engraver needs some time to carve out a picture.

Upon comparison, the differences are that a layman sees beauty, while a connoisseur appreciates the taste.

After the surgery ended, Chen Cang suddenly heard a sound.

[Ding! Operating Room Novice Title Feature: 1% chance to trigger upon learning, congratulations, you have obtained An Yanjun’s skill: Endoscopic Spatial Perception.]

Chen Cang was stunned.

[Endoscopic Spatial Perception: Mid-level passive skill, can be upgraded.]

[Endoscopic Spatial Perception: Skill description: In surgery, you will encounter a variety of operations that require the use of instruments. Wearing this skill can give a certain degree of spatial perception, making operations more convenient. Applicable to: laparoscopy, microscopy, etc…]

Chen Cang’s eyes lit up!

He had found a treasure.

[Endoscopic Spatial Perception]

This skill was incredible—it was passive and applicable to a variety of operations.

One should know that there are so many types of scopes now.

Gastroscope, colonoscope, laryngoscope.

Laparoscope, endoscope, microscope.

…

There are too many of them.

And moreover, with the constant development of technology and deep reforms in artificial intelligence, doctors are increasingly taking on the role of RPG characters, operating instruments through scopes, so it’s easy to see what a skill like Endoscopic Spatial Perception is!

Upgrading, it must be upgraded to the maximum level!

Thinking this, Chen Cang looked at An Yanjun with a burning gaze.

This refined and clean-looking Director An, what other treasures did he hold in his belly?

An Yanjun and Old Chen were obviously from different worlds.

If it were Chen Cang staring at Old Chen.

Old Chen, when faced with such a situation, would normally handle it by saying, “What’s the problem? Looking for a beating?”

But Director An was much more refined, he cleared his throat, turned his head around, not really sure where to look, obviously uncomfortable all over, and simply turned and walked away.

Chen Cang sighed.

[An Yanjun’s favorability -1]

Chen Cang stunned, “Director An, you must have misunderstood me.”

Feeling exhausted.

However… Acquiring a passive skill, Chen Cang felt secretly delighted, changed his clothes, and left.

As for that 1 point of favorability, there was plenty of time, so he was not in a rush.

Chen Cang left.

Leaving An Yanjun and Wang Qian looking at each other, bewildered.

Coming out of the operating room, while they were washing their hands, An Yanjun pondered for a long time and still couldn’t hold back, he said to Wang Qian, “Xiao Wang, let me ask you something.”

Wang Qian nodded, thinking the teacher had some guidance about the surgery they just performed, and immediately concentrated, “Sure, An Teacher, go ahead.”

An Yanjun took a deep breath, “Did that…”

After hesitating for a moment, he curiously asked, “Are you familiar with this young Chen? Doesn’t he have a partner?”

Wang Qian nodded, “Um, it seems not! For over two years, I haven’t seen him that close to any young girls.”

An Yanjun’s heart skipped a beat, this is bad!

Just as he suspected!

An Yanjun couldn’t help but ask, “He wouldn’t… he doesn’t like girls, does he?!”

As soon as these words came out!

Wang Qian was at a loss…

His brain froze…

What the heck?

No way, right?

Wang Qian turned his head, his brows furrowed into a ‘triple furrow’, his eyes inquiring as he looked at An Yanjun, full of question marks: ???

An Yanjun then turned around, his brow furrowed tightly, his face revealing a ‘Sichuan’ character between his brows, his eyes resolute as he looked at Wang Qian, his eyes full of exclamation marks: !!!

Suddenly, understanding dawned on them!

For a moment, the outside of the operating room fell into a quiet…

Only the sound of the water tap continuously running in the sink tried to cover the awkwardness of the moment, while the brains of the two surgeons were filled with: …%￥￥%&

An Yanjun sighed, turned around, and left.

While Wang Qian looked at his hands and muttered to himself, “Sinful!”

Considering a certain possibility about Chen Cang’s existence, Wang Qian thought of what he did this morning… and felt a wave of nausea come over him.

He picked up a brush and started scrubbing his hands!

As he scrubbed, he reflected, “Wife, my hands have sinned, but it was all unintentional!”

Qin Lele had just come out of the operating room and saw Wang Qian vigorously washing his hands, puzzled she asked, “Qian brother? What… what happened? Did your ‘little wife’ upset you?”

Wang Qian sighed and, looking at his red, scrubbed hands, said with a mixture of sadness and frustration, “Lele, I have a question for you: what would you feel if you thought you were teasing someone for two years, only to find out that in fact, it was you who had been taken advantage of for two years?”

Qin Lele frowned and thought seriously, blurting out a classic line, “Being taken advantage of without payment, and still thinking you scored a bargain!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Qian felt as if struck by lightning!

It was like a bolt from the blue.

He felt his mind go blank!

Tears spilled in the operating room as he ran off.

My youth, my innocence.

Standing outside the operating room, Wang Qian almost cried, feeling wronged like a two hundred-pound iron fool.
