Chapter 219: Chapter 220: Sudden Incident!

The meeting wasn’t over when Chen Cang left.

He had done everything he needed to do; there was no point in staying.

Thinking about the challenge, Chen Cang couldn’t help but smile.

After all, what did Jing Ran have to do with him?

Thinking back to his and Qian Lin’s behavior in the conference hall, Chen Cang felt an urge to laugh.

It was a bit childish!

A bit ridiculous!

Is effort only to surpass others? Must we always compare ourselves to others?

Not necessarily, effort is merely to improve ourselves, to become more perfect, to heal more patients, to save more lives.

Honestly, Chen Cang had been doing too well recently because of the system, but Jing Ran’s emergence made Chen Cang curb the sprouting arrogance within him; there were many who were better than him, and they were outstanding even without a system, so why shouldn’t he strive to work harder?

Qian Lin was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, so it was normal for him to have immature thoughts; however, being twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old himself, Chen Cang should solve these problems with a mature perspective.

Nonetheless, the task still had to be completed.

Even without Jing Ran’s arrival, the need to strive and work hard remained.

Otherwise, what would be the point of pursuing this postgraduate study?

He really had grown a bit lax recently; it was time to buckle down and get serious.

In fact, just a moment ago, Chen Cang had been quite moved listening to Jing Ran’s speech. That’s someone with the courage to dream big; the Nobel Prize? He hadn’t even considered it, had he?

But here was someone daring to dream, daring to declare it loudly on such a stage!

That was a capability.

It was courage!

He should aspire to learn from that kind of boldness and spirit!

Just as Chen Cang was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a sharp cry from the audience: “Someone’s fainted!”

Chen Cang turned around and noticed that five or six rows to his left front, a crowd was gathered.

Some were pinching the fainted person’s philtrum, others were preparing to do chest compressions.

Someone had already taken out their phone to dial 120!

Years of emergency response instincts made Chen Cang rush over without a moment’s hesitation.

Though all the med students at the scene were well-organized in arranging the rescue, their experience was not particularly vast, and their means limited, perhaps even causing unnecessary complications!

After Chen Cang rushed over, he found the man lying on the ground, breathing rapidly, with his head already titled to one side; it was likely that a worried student had accidentally caused an airway blockage while trying to prevent him from choking on his vomit.

The man’s breathing was becoming more and more labored, his face pallid!

The people around suddenly didn’t know what to do.

Chen Cang touched his hand and found it somewhat cold.

[Ding! A sudden rescue mission has been triggered: save a shock-stricken junior. Temporary rewards 1: A perfect level chest imaging skill, 2: A perfect level secretion test skill; after the completion of the mission, choose one to be permanently acquired!]

After hearing this alert, Chen Cang was not at all pleased but took a deep breath instead.

Judging by the system’s rewards, the richer they were, the higher the difficulty implied.

With such a perfect skill up for grabs, what kind of illness could it be?

Moreover, the system had advanced the mission rewards to enable him to complete the task. This made Chen Cang even more solemn.

At this moment, the staff in the front row, upon hearing of the incident, immediately picked up the microphone to maintain order at the scene!

“All students, please sit still. Do not move! Clear the aisle to facilitate the rescue of the attendee!”

“I repeat, all students stay seated and do not move!”

Everyone had already realized the gravity of the situation. However, even without moving about, they all sat there craning their necks to look.

Qian Liang and the others had rushed over in a hurry!

Looking at the man’s condition and after a quick check, Chen Cang had already taken out his phone and turned on the flashlight, then looked around at everyone and said, “Open his mouth.”

The boy next to him quickly nodded, somewhat at a loss as if he had never encountered such a situation before. He was nervous and his hands were trembling!

When the light shone into the mouth, Chen Cang couldn’t help but frown—things looked serious!

Laryngeal edema.

Could it be… anaphylactic shock?

Several terms popped into Chen Cang’s mind.

But… what could have caused the anaphylactic shock?

Thinking this, Chen Cang asked the boy who was holding the mouth open, “Did he feel unwell before passing out? Or did he eat or drink anything? Or was there any particular adverse reaction?”

The boy shook his head: “He didn’t eat anything, but he seemed to be choking and coughing violently, coughing badly—we thought he choked on water!”

“But then, he just collapsed on the ground! And then… this happened…”

Suddenly, Chen Cang looked down and noticed a large amount of watery secretions on the ground, and also… some membrane-like substances!

A possibility immediately sprung to mind for Chen Cang.

Qian Liang, Liu Jingsheng, and other vice-principals had also gathered around. Seeing Chen Cang crouching on the ground, Liu Jingsheng was about to speak.

Suddenly, Qian Liang stopped him and shook his head.

Although they were all leading directors, it didn’t mean they all understood emergency care; many emergency rescue techniques were much more specialized than what they knew.

At this time, Chen Cang stood up, and Qian Liang looked at Chen Cang, quickly asking, “Chen, what’s going on?”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Cang said with a grave expression, “I suspect this is pulmonary hydatid cyst disease causing an anaphylactic shock. He needs to be rushed to the hospital for anti-allergy treatment immediately. Moreover, if it really is pulmonary hydatid cyst disease, we need to prepare for surgery next!”

At this moment, Jing Ran stood up from the ground. After Chen Cang’s examination, he too had analyzed the patient.

Hearing Chen Cang’s words, Jing Ran nodded earnestly, “He’s right, I also suspect it’s pulmonary hydatid cyst disease. We don’t usually have such patients here in Dongyang; it’s more common in pastoral areas like Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and the like. I’ve seen patients like this before, very similar!”

At that moment, the boy suddenly said, “Right, he is from Inner Mongolia, we were just talking about it, his family is from the pastoral area.”

Qian Liang nodded. At this time, the driver had already run in: “Principal Qian, the car is ready!”

Without another word, Chen Cang picked up the man and ran outside.

Every second counted now!

Jing Ran said to Qian Liang, “Principal Qian, I’ll go too. This kind of surgery… if it’s confirmed to be pulmonary hydatid cyst disease, I’m worried there aren’t many people here who can perform it, as it’s a very special type of thoracic surgery.”

Qian Liang, with a solemn face, walked outside following Chen Cang.

Hearing Jing Ran’s words, he nodded, “Okay, come along.”

Jing Ran hurried after them outside!

It was fortunate that Chen Cang was strong, managing to heft the tall young man directly into the car.

Qian Liang sat in the front passenger seat, while Jing Ran, Chen Cang, and the patient were in the back.

Qian Liang directly instructed, “Go to the Provincial People’s Hospital.”

The driver nodded and headed straight there.

Qian Liang turned to look at Chen Cang, “Chen, how confident are you?”

Chen Cang shook his head, “We’ll see when we get there. It looks similar, but… I’m not entirely certain; many more tests are needed.”

Qian Liang nodded. For some reason, he had quite a bit of trust in Chen Cang.

Perhaps it was because Chen Cang had always been convincing them with his actions!

This made him unconsciously develop a sense of trust!
