YM778.TV Chapter 141: Huge Explosion (6th Update, Please Subscribe!)
In the midst of everyone’s tension and unease, just as the patient was about to feel the onset of pain, the surgery was completed!
[Ding! Congratulations, respected doctor, you have removed a King-grade appendix monster! You have obtained: 1. A class change certificate; 2. A bottle of stamina potion; 3. Level +1; 4. Equipment: Bethune’s surgical gown; 5. A Skill Book.]
As expected of a boss, the notification sounds were different after the kill.
When he saw the equipment, Chen Cang suddenly noticed bursts of purple light!
Chen Cang was immediately startled!
Purple items?
And not just one!
A class change certificate? A Skill Book? Level +1?
It was a massive loot drop!
Chen Gang’s heart leapt with joy and some excitement, just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard the crowd begin to applaud!
“Expert Chen, you are really amazing!” Doctor Yang, who had witnessed the entire surgery, exclaimed with an excited round of applause!
It truly was thrilling!
In surgery, situations change in the blink of an eye, just like on a battlefield!
Every little change tugs at everyone’s heartstrings.
The life and health of the patient and the success of the surgery, that is the greatest victory of this battle.
And every doctor is a fully-armed warrior, prepared at any time to fight disease.
But when the disease is too strong, leaving the doctor helpless and uncertain about how to proceed, the feeling of powerlessness and desperation is very heart-wrenching!
Thankfully, there was Chen Cang!
Just then, Chen Cang seemed to have become a god of war, his delicate and precise operations instantly winning over everyone’s admiration!
At that moment, Chen Cang was a hero.
A hero without any doubt.
A hero who saves the world!
All the doctors present were excited and thrilled as if they themselves had performed the surgery!
This kind of touching emotion may be incomprehensible to others, but all the doctors who were there truly empathized.
Chen Cang merely smiled slightly, saying nothing more.
At this moment, the patient tried to sit up, but Chen Cang quickly pressed him down, “Rest in bed for the next couple of days, your case is quite special, and the doctors will explain in detail to you after you go back.”
Although the patient did not understand the reason, judging from the surrounding atmosphere: Chen Cang was awesome, listening to him was no issue!
The patient was wheeled back to the ward with the help of a nurse.
Duan Bo was still feeling the lingering fear from recalling the recent surgery…
If it hadn’t been for Chen Cang, today’s surgery on the patient would definitely have encountered problems, and even if there were no issues, it surely would have required the patient to be transferred to a hospital in the city.
Thinking this, Duan Bo couldn’t help but feel gratitude towards Chen Cang!
“I’m really thankful to you, Expert Chen, if it weren’t for you today, how much more would the patient have had to spend? Never mind the expense, the suffering would have been inevitable too, I say thank you on their behalf!”
The patients in the county hospital were mostly from the surrounding towns and villages, many being elderly farmers.
Seeking treatment in the county hospital came with a higher reimbursement ratio. Going to the cities involved a lot of expenses and a lower reimbursement rate, not to mention the hassle of traveling back and forth – an appendix removal could easily cost thousands of yuan.
For the patients, this was undoubtedly a tremendous financial burden.
Duan Bo was born and raised in the grassroots and also worked there, often witnessing such concerns.
He was truly grateful to Chen Cang for the patients!
Chen Cang looked at Duan Bo and said faintly, “We are doctors, this is our duty.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Bo was slightly taken aback, then nodded solemnly, saying, “Yes! To be a medical practitioner is to serve the people! To be a great physician is also to serve the people!”
“If all the physicians in the world were like this, perhaps there would be far fewer disputes, right?”
The surgery, originally scheduled to end at nine, dragged on until almost ten o’clock.
Everyone had persevered since lunchtime.
You could say they were both tired and hungry.
Upon leaving the hospital, the stifling heat hit us, and Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh, the air conditioning in the operating room during summer really was comfortable.
Duan Bo said with a smile, “Expert Chen, let’s go, I’ll take you to try the special dishes of our Lan County.”
The people around also began to chime in, “That’s right, Doctor Chen, let’s all go have a drink or two, we don’t have anything else tonight anyway!”
Once someone made a suggestion, others started to cheer on.
Surgeons are a bunch of old men who just like to gather in groups to eat and drink.
Internal medicine just can’t compare with surgery in this aspect.
Chen Cang had visited quite a few hospitals and rotated through many departments.
The work environment in internal medicine is generally more somber and oppressive, and the doctors seldom communicate with each other. Essentially, everyone is minding their own business, as the saying goes “Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep and doesn’t concern themselves with the frost on someone else’s roof.”
Patients usually look for their own attending physician, and if he’s not around, the other doctors might not pay much attention to you, at most they would say the doctor isn’t in.
Even during rest, they rarely gather together.
It’s different in surgery; it might be because there are more men, without as many petty concerns, and minor issues are overlooked, leading to a more harmonious relationship.
Add to that many surgeries require everyone to work together which necessitates mutual assistance, it’s like being teammates or comrades in battle, and naturally, relationships improve.
Take the emergency department, for example, the clear contrast between Emergency Internal Medicine and Emergency Surgery at Provincial Second Hospital serves as evidence.
Walking down the street, Chen Cang finally had the chance to see what he had obtained!
He vaguely remembered there were three items emitting a purple glow; the first being a Career Change Voucher, something like an invitation, a lab coat which surprisingly had a name, called Bai Qiuen’s Lab Coat!
And there was also a Skill Book.
[Career Change Voucher: After reaching level 20 and completing the corresponding career change quest, you can activate this voucher. The details await your discovery after reaching level 20!]
[Strength Potion: After use, you will gain +1 Strength.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have reached level 19! You’ve gained 1 skill point, current total: 4.]
Hearing the prompt, Chen Cang was stunned and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
After all, he had performed several surgeries that day and was close to leveling up. He hoped his experience points wouldn’t vanish with this level up!
[Chen Cang, Level: 19, Experience: 2500/3800!]
Seeing his experience hadn’t disappeared, Chen Cang couldn’t help feeling relieved; fortunately, the experience was still there.
[Bai Qiuen’s Scrubs (Purple): I am Bai Qiuen, not Bethune! This is Doctor Bai Qiuen’s scrubs. After putting on this garment, you will receive: 1. Strength +3;
- Power +3; 3. Defense +3; Accompanying Skill: Bai Qiuen’s Blessing; Skill Tip: After use, all your statuses including strength and power will return to peak condition (can be used once a week!)]
Chen Cang was delighted!
As expected of equipment dropped by a King-level Appendicitis Monster, it was extraordinary!
Strength +3! Power +3! All that was easy to understand.
But… what was this Defense +3 about?
Resistance to physical assault?
Resistance to corrosion?
Or protection from sneak attacks by medical disruptors?
However, the highlight of the equipment was the last feature, the accompanying skill, Bai Qiuen’s Blessing!
After using it, all his states would return to peak condition!
What an awesome skill!
The only pity was that it could be used just once a week!
Surgery could be exhausting, with some lasting over forty hours. If he had this scrub, Chen Cang felt many things would change.
But… Chen Cang had a question: could he only enjoy these effects while wearing the scrubs?
Thinking this… Chen Cang decided he would have to keep a set of scrubs in his bedroom as backup!
Thinking of himself still in a vigorous state post-operation made Chen Cang believe these scrubs were well worth it!
The last item was a purple Skill Book!
What would be inside?
(Skill Book: After using it, you will acquire one specific basic skill at an advanced level. The skill effect is chosen by yourself.]
What a great item!
This meant that he was about to receive an advanced-level basic skill, of which he could choose the effect.
At this moment, Chen Cang only wanted to say to that Appendix Monster one thing, “The friend of a King is a King. Where are your friends?”
Not ten minutes into the walk, Duan Bo pointed at a restaurant up ahead and said, “Specialist Chen, the food here is something you’ve never tasted outside. I’m treating you to something fresh today!”
At that moment, Duan Bo’s phone rang!
Duan Bo answered the call, “Chief, it’s an emergency. We have a group of patients in coma and shock in the emergency department, and they need our surgical consultation for Deep Venous Catheterization. The patient situation is special… I can’t get it done!”
Duan Bo’s face changed immediately: “How many people?”
The junior doctor’s voice was trembling, “There are five, all with severe burns, and they’re in shock now. They need to be transferred to Anyang City, but their current condition is very bad, and they need to be treated in advance with the Deep Venous Catheterization Technique!”
Duan Bo immediately replied: “Okay! Keep a close watch on the patients, we’ll be there in a few minutes!”
Turning around, Duan Bo said, “Dr. Chen, there’s trouble in the department…” ps: Writing this made me hungry…
