Chapter 1009 -1011: Apology
“Dr. Chen, let me tell you, you didn’t see it, but Ford was sweating buckets just now, and he left in such a hurry…”
The head nurse animatedly and excitedly depicted the scene of Ford’s departure, even more exhilarated than Chen Cang!
“You don’t know this, but as soon as Ford arrived, he had someone bring some instruments in early for us to sterilize in advance, and told us to swap out all the nurses…”
“The pomp and circumstance were really something!”
…
Perhaps the head nurse was really irritated by Ford and his entourage, because once Ford had left, she seemed happier than anyone else!
Chen Cang, however, couldn’t help but shake his head.
He was aware of the significance of today’s surgery; it wasn’t just Ford, but when Chen Cang had explained it earlier, even Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming were nearly scared out of their wits.
After all, the technique and philosophy of this surgery had shattered traditional methods.
It had innovatively redefined the concept of gastrointestinal anastomosis.
As the leading pancreas surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, Ford had clearly grasped the essence of the surgery.
Victory or defeat had actually been meaningless from the start.
Besides, with surgery, there is no winning or losing, there is only the continual evolution of medical concepts.
The true purpose is to cure and save people.
Chen Cang was equally unimpressed with Ford’s initial attitude—condescending, as though the Mayo Clinic reigned supreme.
Completing the surgery without any pressure, Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming had no sweat on their brows.
Half an hour passed and the surgery was completely finished.
The anesthesiologist glanced at the time and remarked, “The anesthesia will wear off in about half an hour.”
Sun Guangyu nodded, “Hmm, take him back to the recovery room then.”
A few nurses nodded, and after some tidying up and arranging the old man’s clothes, they wheeled the bed out of the operating room.
While washing their hands with Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming, Chen Cang noticed their furrowed brows, as if they were deep in thought.
A moment later, Sun Guangyu suddenly said, “Little Chen, …once Ford goes back, he’s going to share this news with Mayo!”
Zhuang Yueming also nodded gravely, “Exactly, we shouldn’t have let him see the surgery from the start, now… later on…”
Watching the two acting as if their treasure had been stolen, Chen Cang couldn’t help but smile, “If it could be so easily stolen, it wouldn’t be a treasure.”
“A glimpse of the leopard in the pipe, small Doyle!”
“It’s like traditional Chinese medicine, stealing a prescription is useless, what you need to steal is the true skill of diagnosis and treatment, and prescribing medication accordingly.”
Seeing Chen Cang’s indifferent expression, the two became even more agitated, “That’s still not okay, now with the times we’re in, if they get wind of it and start developing something based on it?”
Hearing this, Chen Cang laughed even more, “That would be great!”
The two rolled their eyes, “How would that be great? You’re not crazy, are you?”
Chen Cang replied with a smile, “Many hands make light work. The emergence and acceptance of a new concept is invariably a lengthy process.”
“I’ll go back and write a paper on the old man’s surgery and publish it in ‘The Lancet’, spreading the concept, letting more and more people become aware of the surgery’s effectiveness and importance.”
“Mayo will surely start their research, and I hope their journey is quick. By the time the World Congress on Gastrointestinal Surgery comes around,
if Mayo has embraced the concept, by then… We only need to stay ahead of them, that will be enough!
If Mayo doesn’t accept the concept, or even comes up with a counterargument, we just have to prove our effectiveness.”
After finishing, Chen Cang walked out with a smile.
Leaving the worry-worn duo behind.
Zhuang Yueming muttered, “It seems like Little Chen has a point!”
Sun Guangyu rolled his eyes, “Can you guarantee that you won’t fall behind them? I’ve just started grasping the basics, I’m afraid those Mayo folks might outdo me.”
Zhuang Yueming was momentarily stunned and quickly followed Sun Guangyu in pursuit.
“Chen Cang, Chen Cang, how can we get ahead of Mayo?”
“Exactly, I’m really feeling uncertain right now, what if they turn out to be even better than us?”
Chen Cang couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, “What’s the rush? Aren’t I here?”
Sun and Zhuang exchanged a glance, filled with speechlessness: We are different…
Chen Cang suddenly had an idea and said, “Right, there’s a pancreatic surgery training conference tomorrow and the day after. If you two are free, come and assist me. I’ll teach you step by step.”
Hearing this, the two of them were overjoyed!
They realized they might just become the first generation of disciples for Chen Cang’s digestive tract reconstruction technique!
“Alright, Teacher Chen!”
“Got it, Teacher Chen!”
Chen Cang was left speechless…
After washing his hands, he had just gotten there when he saw Qin Zhenhong and Qin Zhenwei already waiting at the door, along with two elderly people inside the conference room.
Qin Zhenwei’s face showed some difficulty, and after a moment, Qin Zhenwei suddenly bowed deeply to Chen Cang, “Doctor Chen, I apologize, I wasn’t thoughtful enough regarding this matter. I owe you an apology.”
“Thank you for operating on my father.”
Watching Qin Zhenwei bow to Chen Cang, Sun Guangyu and Zhuang Yueming’s expressions changed instantly.
Although Qin Zhenwei might not be as prominent as his brother, he was the general manager of a large state-owned enterprise, with significant influence.
And now, Qin Zhenwei bowing and apologizing to Chen Cang in front of everyone carried no ordinary significance!
Chen Cang, taken aback as well, responded, “General Manager Qin, you’re too polite, what you did is totally understandable.”
In the room, the two elderly men slowly commented, “Not polite at all, if I were Old Qin, I’d have my son bow in thanks just like this.”
After Qin Zhenwei stood up, his face reddened, and he remained silent.
Ford’s words today made Qin Zhenwei realize that he had perhaps been too distrustful of Chen Cang.
After giving it some thought, he felt he must apologize, or else he wouldn’t be at peace internally.
A mistake is a mistake, after all… This talented doctor was not someone that even Qin Zhenwei would want to make an enemy of!
To be honest, he didn’t even dare do so.
Although it might sound exaggerated at the moment, upon careful consideration, it wasn’t exaggerated in the slightest…
One of the elders, looking at Chen Cang, sighed with emotion and said with a smile, “I’m really looking forward to seeing Old Qin’s reaction when he wakes up and watches the surveillance footage. He’s going to be so happy.”
“Comrade Chen Cang, you’re quite impressive!”
The other laughed and added, “We can’t let Old Qin see that, in case he ends up laughing and bursting his stitches. That would be such a hassle! With his size, laughing would definitely split his wound.”
The two of them chuckled together.
It was clear to see that the old men were genuinely happy.
Not just because of Old Qin’s successful surgery.
But also because our country’s medicine has gradually developed, to the point where we can scare off experts from Mayo!
With that thought, the old men were sincerely proud and content!
Looking at Chen Cang, their eyes brimming with joy, one elder said with a laugh:
“I’ve got to take advantage of this fact and get into the backdoor queue. In the future, if I ever have any issues, young Chen, you’ll have to operate on this old man!”
