When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chen Cang couldn’t tell if he’d gotten addicted to talking or if Tang Jinbo had become inflamed.

Or perhaps it was the heated atmosphere between the two, or the possibility that Chen Cang’s constant criticism of the inadequacies of Tang’s suture method had angered Professor Tang.

Regardless, the mood quickly shifted from a pleasant exchange to a deep-seated enmity… and now it had escalated to a tense standoff!

Those beside them watched with trepidation, fearing that the two might come to blows.

If a fight did break out, this… would truly become a colossal joke!

Closest to the action, Jiang Tao and Li Yu exchanged glances, nodding to each other!

If a fight did start, would they join in the fight?

Or pull their own people away?

This was now the concern that weighed on them both!

Jiang Tao was now genuinely impressed with Chen Cang; the guy was truly stubborn, pounding his fist on the table and pointing at his nose as he told Professor Tang what was wrong with his method.

Professor Tang was also furious, his demeanor shifting from polite to rolling up his sleeves and engaging in debate!

Tang Jinbo’s face turned livid as he watched Tang’s suture method being criticized by Chen Cang as flawed in every aspect, which obviously upset him.

Chen Cang rolled his eyes, almost thinking that Professor Tang was cheating!

Because the guy really had a profound understanding of tendon suturing and hand surgery.

This academic discussion was so intense it could spark real fire!

No matter the subject of discussion!

That’s also why ancient Chinese literati who wrote poetry often enjoyed having a bit of wine and a sword handy; it was definitely to embolden themselves or to restrain one another, urging everyone to stay calm.

As the debate grew more intense, a nurse suddenly came in and said, “Dr. Chen, the patient has arrived. When will the surgery be?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang replied, “Let’s go, now.”

Tang Jinbo immediately blocked his path, “Professor Chen, you clearly have some misunderstandings about Tang’s suturing method. I’ll do the suturing while you provide guidance!”

Both knew that the debate was going nowhere; it was time for practical application!

Chen Cang nodded, “Please, Professor Tang.”

Tang Jinbo nodded in thanks.

No matter the subject of their debate or argument, it was all about academics and not personal.

Both were very clear on that.

Behind them, Li Yu and Jiang Tao caught each other’s eyes and quickly moved forward.

At this moment, Jiang Tao, despite his admiration for Professor Tang, knew which side he was on. If a fight broke out, he would certainly hit Li Yu first! ṝАΝỌＢЁȘ

Yes, exactly!

But he couldn’t let Li Yu discover his thoughts.

Li Yu imperceptibly took a small step away from Jiang Tao.

He knew that this surgery was to be their showdown.

Inside the operating room, Chen Cang introduced the patient to, “This is Professor Tang Jinbo from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, a top expert in the field of tendon suturing in the country, …”

After the introduction, the patient’s eyes lit up. Following his illness, his child had searched on Baidu and knew of Professor Tang.

To think that Professor Tang Jinbo had been personally invited over, the patient gratefully said, “Thank you, Dr. Chen, and thank you too, Professor Tang.”

Alright, the surgery preparation begins!

At this moment, Jiang Tao, who was once a staunch supporter of Tang’s suture method, suddenly had a change of heart.

He now hoped Chen Cang would win.

He didn’t know why!

Yet that’s just how it is; he could criticize himself, but only he could do so.

Tang Jinbo glanced at Li Yu, who promptly understood and got ready to assist.

Chen Cang stood by and said to the nurse, Yuan Yuan, “Turn on the camera.”

The surgery began!

As luck would have it, the patient had an injury to the flexor tendon, which was perfectly suitable for Tang’s suture method and fell within Tang’s zone of expertise.

This was supposedly the area where Tang’s suture method excelled.

The surgery began, and Chen Cang remained silent. This wasn’t a time for discussion, but he committed every detail to memory.

After it was over, he would have a good theoretical discussion with Professor Tang!

The surgery went smoothly!

This was expected by all.

If Professor Tang couldn’t master the Tang method, then who could?

Jiang Tao began to worry, glancing at Chen Cang and thinking, “What are our chances of winning? I just hope we don’t lose too badly!”

Meanwhile, An Yanjun was the picture of calm. To be honest, after spending time with Chen Cang, he had his eyes opened.

The surgery ended quickly, and with some final instructions, the patient was sent off.

Tang Jinbo smiled and looked at Chen Cang, “Professor Chen, this is the Tang method I’ve improved. How does it compare to the original now?”

Chen Cang nodded sincerely, “Hmm, it really has improved a lot!”

However, before he could finish his thoughts, another sentence came out, “But, the flaw I pointed out is still there. To improve the Tang method, it must be combined with the Bunnell suture technique, as well as the kessler suture…”

Tang Jinbo furrowed his brows, having not yet picked up the scalpel to rebut, when a nurse said, “Doctor Chen, there is another surgery waiting.”

Tang Jinbo looked at Chen Cang without saying a word.

The implication was clear: If you’re capable, then you do it!

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth!

After preparing, Chen Cang approached the patient, ready to start the surgery, with An Yanjun already prepared to assist.

Jiang Tao, however, was somewhat nervous. This was his first time watching Chen Cang perform surgery and he was unsure of what to expect!

Was Doctor Chen really as impressive as the teacher said?

But… considering his evenly matched theoretical debate with Professor Tang, he should be competent, right?

Jiang Tao was in a dilemma now.

Regarding Chen Cang, should he be a fan? Or should he criticize him?

However… the odds of becoming a fan were a bit higher, right?

After all… there were no reasons to criticize!

The arrogant Jiang Tao at this moment held no disdain for Chen Cang.

Apart from everything else!

Doctor Chen had the guts to slam the table, glare at Professor Tang, and point at his nose, saying what nonsense he stitched!

Would his own teacher dare to do that?

With that thought, he started watching the surgery attentively.

Soon, Chen Cang was ready and began suturing as soon as he received the suture thread.

But… as soon as Chen Cang began, Tang Jinbo’s eyes lit up; it was the Tang suture method.

Unable to contain himself, Li Yu instinctively thought, would he still need to use the Tang suture method?

After talking so much, they still have to use…

Before he could finish his thought, Chen Cang’s technique suddenly changed. It was a kind of six-bundle suture completely different from the Tang method, using a four-bundle technique. But the angle of his sutures, the needle path… completely different!

What method was this, exactly?

Tang Jinbo widened his eyes; he knew this was not the TANG suture method, nor was it any suture method he recognized.

Nevertheless… it had a trace of every technique.

Moreover, when he looked at the suture results, he was astonished to find that Chen Cang’s suture method was simply a stroke of genius.

The ingenious method of suturing tendons without damaging the surrounding tissue and minimizing the potential for adhesion was evident; the clear advantage of the four-bundle suture over the six-bundle suture soon became apparent…

The more he watched, the more astounded Tang Jinbo became!

The more he watched, the more he trembled!

What… what kind of suture method was this, why had he never heard of it, but… perhaps this was the future direction of the Tang suture method?

The longer he watched, the more short of breath Tang Jinbo became.

Meanwhile, Li Yu was completely taken aback.

Laymen watch the excitement; professionals watch the doorway. Although he was not an expert, he had followed Professor Tang here and there and seen various methods, had he not?

He had an inkling that Chen Cang’s suture technique might indeed be better than… the Tang suture method?

The Tang suture method had an obvious routine, whereas this technique felt void of any routine to him.

Jiang Tao stood by, his mouth agape and at a loss for words!

With a face full of disbelief, he watched this suturing method for a long time, unable to come to terms with it.

His teacher was Gu Hongmei, the deputy director of the hand surgery department at Jishuitan Hospital, and the director was Chang Honglei!

Chang Honglei was also a big name in the field. Her philosophy was to seek the strengths of all schools and to understand every suture method thoroughly. Consequently, influenced by this mentality from an early age, Jiang Tao naturally embraced the philosophy deeply.

At this moment, as he watched Chen Cang’s surgery, he suddenly realized!

This Chen Cang, was even more incredible than he had imagined!

This could be someone who had integrated the strengths of various approaches and refined something unique to himself.

At that moment, Jiang Tao felt his heart twitching, not from ventricular fibrillation, but from palpitations! It was the sensation of tachycardia.

Too strong!

If in the field of tendon suturing, Professor Tang was a powerhouse at the transcendence phase, then Professor Chen was nearing ascension, wasn’t he?
