When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1205 - 1209: Turn the Tide! (Fifth Update)

Opportunity is fleeting!

Some say that in life, you only get seven chances to change your destiny.

However, others assert that life is full of choices; at any moment, as long as you are well-prepared, opportunities abound.

Hou Liang sees this very clearly.

He is 48 this year, at the peak of his career.

Being the director of the Provincial People's Hospital before fifty is a supreme honor for any doctor.

But for Hou Liang, it's not quite the same.

Hou Liang is from Changsha and graduated from Xiangya.

Recruited to Anyang, Hou Liang, already a deputy chief physician, has after more than a decade of grinding, finally become the director.

Indeed, for any province, the Provincial People's Hospital is usually the strongest comprehensive hospital within the region.

Dongyang Province is no exception.

From this perspective, Hou Liang is a winner in life.

To many within the province, it's the same.

But!

For Hou Liang, it's not quite the same.

After ten years in Anyang, his skills have improved, he has had more surgical opportunities, his hands-on ability has gotten stronger, and his sense of responsibility has grown.

But...

He's grown farther from high-end, precision, and advanced development.

Sometimes, Hou Liang asks himself if this is what he truly wants.

Isn't his goal the whole nation?

For how long has Hou Liang been dreaming of standing on the international stage?

Coming from Xiangya, he has the confidence to do so.

But...

How much has he really improved over these years?

Perhaps, it's time he seeks learning and progress once more!

Thinking thus, Hou Liang couldn't help but glance at Chen Cang, with a bit of expectation in his heart.

The news about Chen Cang establishing an emergency center had already spread.

Anyang Emergency Center!

Based in Anyang, expanding to Dongyang Province, Hebei Province, and the surrounding four provinces, developing a fan-shaped area, and establishing a central emergency network.

This was the original development plan of the Second Provincial Hospital.

To some, it seemed like a fool's dream.

But if Chen Cang could stay for ten years, Hou Liang felt it wasn't impossible.

In medicine, what ultimately matters isn't the height of the building but the skill of the doctors.

The hospitals in the capital, how many of them are skyscrapers, and not just old small buildings?

Even when compared to some county hospitals that vigorously build new campuses, they don't measure up.

But, as the saying goes, "It is not the mountain that makes it great, but the presence of sages that gives it spirit."

Therefore, Hou Liang suddenly felt he had more options.

Moreover, the core development concept of the Provincial People's Hospital has always been stability, which comes with many issues.

Hou Liang yearns for innovation and growth, something that is not favored in the broader environment.

He is not the same as Zhang Peiyi.

The surgery proceeded in an orderly manner.

At this time, the half-hour procedure Chen Cang just completed appears particularly vital!

It not only helped repair the blood vessel but also ingeniously established a bridge to supply blood to the critical area.

As the surgery progressed deeper, the advantages of this procedure were continuously unearthed.

Selective cerebral perfusion with extracorporeal circulation can effectively help supply blood and oxygen to brain tissue and prevent brain damage under such conditions.

Moreover, the grafted blood vessel bypasses the abdominal aorta, effectively supplying blood to the renal artery, spermatic artery, and other areas.

The more Hou Liang watched, the more pleasantly surprised he became.

The more he watched, the more excited he felt.

He was certain that Chen Cang had not performed this procedure before, and even this particular procedure seemed to have been specially researched for the patient.

Because the walls of the patient's blood vessels were too weak, the multiple dissections made an already difficult surgery even more dangerous.

So, what Chen Cang is doing right now is really improvising on the spot!

Thinking of this, Hou Liang found it unbelievable.

This is perhaps what it means to be a top-tier expert!

Creating his own school of thought, facing any accident with poise, and even...

This surgical method, Hou Liang swears that once it's perfected, it will become a world-class treatment.

Just like the "elephant trunk surgery," it will become a classic surgical technique for aortic operations.

Moreover, the existence of this technique will significantly reduce the probability of bleeding during surgery, lowering the mortality rate!

By utilizing bridging and selective cerebral perfusion through cannulation of the right axillary artery with extracorporeal circulation, the likelihood of complications is effectively reduced.

Upon careful reflection, Hou Liang felt quite moved.

He might be witnessing the birth of a legend.

If he misses this opportunity now, Hou Liang feels he'd never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Fate has been kind to me!

Thinking this, Hou Liang hurriedly assists Chen Cang with every detail with caution.

Even in his heart, he has made up his mind.

Resign!

As long as Chen Cang agrees to let him follow to the emergency center and become the director of one of its floors, he is willing to give up his position as the head of cardiovascular surgery at the Provincial People's Hospital!

Decisive resignation!

During this period, he will take this opportunity to learn from Chen Cang.

The surgery took 5 hours.

Throughout those entire five hours, Chen Cang was meticulously handling everything.

But the patient's blood vessels were really too problematic.

Even finding a suitable anastomosis site was very challenging.

It was very strenuous work.

All of the damaged areas within the patient's body, even the parts that could potentially trigger an aortic dissection, were all dealt with by Chen Cang.

Although it was tough, Chen Cang was happy.

The gains of today were huge!

Normally, the surgery would not have taken this long, but Chen Cang spent more time to continually discover and study this device, striving to perfect the technique as quickly as possible.

The anesthesiologist, Liang Tai, finally came to understand the words of his senior, Zhou He, thoroughly today.

Professor Chen is indeed impressive!

Liang Tai couldn't help but shake his head.

The surgery was soon drawing to a close.

Hou Liang, looking at the somewhat fatigued Chen Cang, couldn't help but say, "Professor Chen, take a break for a while, I can handle it."

Chen Cang nodded: "Mm, okay."

Chen Cang was very satisfied with Hou Liang.

Although Hou Liang was somewhat unfamiliar with aortic replacement surgery, his fundamentals were very solid, especially when it came to vascular anastomosis, Hou Liang had also participated.

It is clear that Director Hou is a rare talent.

It's a pity though!

If the emergency center is established, we will definitely need to recruit a large number of talents.

By then, it would suffice to bring in some people who can hold down the fort.

As for Hou Liang?

Chen Cang shook his head.

To give up the position of head of the Provincial People's Hospital to become the head of a cardiovascular treatment group in the emergency building of a second-tier hospital?

Anyone with a modicum of reason would probably not want that!

Chen Cang shook his head.

Next year will surely be a challenging one.

After becoming a director, there will only be more to consider.

It didn't take much longer, the surgery was completely finished.

Liang Tai couldn't help but praise: "Professor Chen, you are incredible!"
