Chapter 710 - 353: Showboating! (Part 2)

Chen Song's mouth twitched, and he began to compete with Lu Cheng: "In comparison, it's still your Zhongnan Hospital that has the means..."

"Utilize everything. The old notebook has come in handy again."

Lu Cheng pressed his lips together, roughly understanding why Chen Song was a bit upset.

Originally, Lu Cheng was just calling Chen Song his teacher, but now, Lu Cheng had been forcibly given a 'once-existent' mentor.

"Teacher Chen, it's just an honorary title, and I do indeed need it."

"Moreover, that old professor's character is also very good."

"It's just a name, no real substance, everyone knows it." Lu Cheng began to soothe Chen Song, the disgruntled man.

Chen Song only seemed somewhat arrogant and carefree, but in reality, he was quite sensitive.

However, Chen Song didn't express it as clearly and directly as Tong Yuan'an.

"Even if there were something substantial, what could I do? I'm just a Chen Song, the little Chen or little Song in other people's mouths, that's it."

Chen Song sighed and glanced at Lu Cheng: "Honestly, as people around me have said."

"I was just lucky, meeting you at that moment, in a moment of impulse."

"Zhang Boyuan mentioned you to me..."

"What fame and glory am I, Chen Song, to seek?"

"If I really were a judge of talent, I would've mounted you long ago..."

"Hopped on long ago."

Chen Song tugged at his collar, as if wanting to tear off his disguise.

Lu Cheng then closed his eyes slightly: "Teacher Chen, didn't you express your support before returning to Sha City?"

"It's a personal experience issue, unable to continue the professional master's program."

"I also didn't want to just mix with an academic degree, hence the current situation."

"Otherwise, it might have been different."

Chen Song encountered the thirty-year-old Lu Cheng, not the twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old Lu Cheng.

Of course, Chen Song couldn't have encountered the twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old Lu Cheng.

If he had, at that time, Lu Cheng would still have been just a roadside...

Even if not meeting the thirty-year-old Lu Cheng at Long County People's Hospital, Lu Cheng would still be just a roadside.

"Take a good rest, there's a big task for you tomorrow."

"The team is nominally formed, but truly gathering these people's hearts depends on the power at hand."

"Without hitting people, it's hard to convince them," Chen Song emphasized.

Lu Cheng rubbed his eyes: "Aren't the teachers pretty good today?"

"That's because Professor Lu is here... it's just surface compliance," Chen Song said.

"Then there's no rush, time reveals people's hearts."

"Everyone's an adult, I'm too lazy to guide them. Whether they stay or not... I don't have the time or energy to play Tai Chi with them," Lu Cheng said indifferently.

If there were wine here, Lu Cheng would love to sip it slowly.

A lot in this world depends on fate.

Insufficient fate is just a missed opportunity, not enough to make anyone unable to live.

Now it's Chen Song's turn to be at a loss.

However, Chen Song always knew that Lu Cheng was inherently strong-willed.

Last year, when Tong Yuan'an first arrived in Long County, Lu Cheng only treated Tong Yuan'an with respect, not blind obedience.

"If you think that way, then it's good." Chen Song nodded.

...

May 24th, lunar April 17th.

Emergency department, four operating rooms are in full swing.

The hospital is not like an external business club, which would avoid the number 4.

"Teacher Chen, you first work on the liver with Senior Brother Zhang, I'll join you after finishing with Dai Linfang for the spleen."

"The patient's bleeding is almost under control..." Lu Cheng stood at the main position, his tone confident.

Having not collaborated with Lu Cheng on a surgery for a long time, Chen Song was still amazed at Lu Cheng's speed in controlling bleeding, nodding stiffly: "Oh, okay."

"Dai Linfang, why are you just watching me?"

"Start working, begin debridement and spleen suturing and repair."

"Are you trying to control the electric knife with your mind?" Lu Cheng's command to Dai Linfang was much harsher than to Chen Song.

Dai Linfang looked lost, throwing a glance at Lu Cheng, but continued working earnestly.

Lu Cheng helped with retraction, saying: "Don't be nervous, handling this kind of injury is as challenging as on animal models."

"Just perform normally."

Dai Linfang felt like saying he's aware his basic skills are no worse than some associate professors, but his performance shouldn't always be compared to them.

Don't drag me into being the main target, okay?

But Dai Linfang wasn't soft; he wouldn't worship associate professors and professors as deities.

Lu Cheng now had the home-court advantage, allowing him to operate while Xue Yunfei watched; he could only comply.

Associate professors are also human.

When learning new techniques, everyone's starting point is similar.

I, Dai Linfang, am ahead, why should I be afraid?

Suddenly, while Chen Song was operating, he looked up and asked: "When did the cystic artery rupture?"

"When did you handle it, too?"

Chen Song's words immediately diverted Xue Yunfei's attention, and he looked over.

Then he was also bewildered.

In this surgery, he was the freest, just watching from below.

Watching surgery and performing it are completely different; eyes can capture freely.

But like Chen Song, he hadn't noticed when Lu Cheng handled the cystic artery.

"Fourth sequence, Teacher Chen."

"Let's finish the surgery first. Emergency and elective surgeries differ, and we can only review afterward."

"There isn't much preoperative discussion time."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he added: "Teacher Chen, after you finish, let Senior Brother Zhang handle the vascular suturing..."

Chen Song's eyelid flicked, potentially realizing something, and nodded, saying: "Okay!~"

Zhang Boyuan continued to work diligently, silent throughout.

The whole surgery progressed orderly toward completion.

The patient's spleen wasn't resected, not even partially, it was simply sutured.

The patient's liver also underwent no segmental resection as the surgery concluded.

This sounds and seems normal.

But those who've actually done such emergency surgeries know how challenging it is to complete it this way.

Medical progress is slow at each step.

From completely resecting the spleen to partially resecting it with spleen preservation surgery, it's a huge leap.

Then moving from partial resection to non-resection spleen preservation surgery, another giant stride.

Seeing this, Associate Professor Xue Yunfei suddenly asked: "Director Lu, if this patient had only a simple spleen injury, would you consider a laparoscopic approach for this st4-type injury?"

Lu Cheng nodded calmly: "If it were me, I would consider it."

"But to solve the problem, open suturing is just as effective, just involves a relatively smaller incision and less damage."

"Essentially, there's not much difference."

Xue Yunfei: "Has Director Lu ever switched from laparoscopic to open surgery?"

Lu Cheng replied honestly: "Not for isolated spleen injuries, but for combined injuries, yes."

"Professor Xue, I am just a person, not a god, so I occasionally misjudge complexities."

"However, currently, I do have some insights into performing hemostasis on liver and spleen organs via laparoscopy."

"Without laparoscopy hemostasis experience, performing spleen or liver preservation laparoscopically isn't recommended."

Xue Yunfei slowly nodded, giving a thumbs up: "Director Lu's skills are indeed amazing."

Laparoscopic spleen preservation surgery is the pinnacle of individual operation.

Non-resection suturing spleen preservation surgery breaks the technical barrier, a pinnacle of surgery.

Both can be combined!

Then there's no need to speculate; Lu Cheng's skills can truly reach a showy level.

However, quickly, while not on stage, Xue Yunfei's mind slightly lagged.

Dai Linfang's operation was certainly fine, but Lu Cheng still erupted: "Dai Linfang, what's going on with you?"

"Didn't I explain the approach for spleen preservation under emergency conditions?"

"You're just thinking of preserving the spleen, right?"

"Not considering functional repair, right?"

Dai Linfang innocently looked up, eyes puzzled: "I... this?"

"You."

"Step aside, I'll do it." Lu Cheng muttered, starting to 'stir things up'!
