Chapter 220: Chapter 221: Chen Cang… Did You Show Off at the Provincial People’s Congress Again?

“`

Qian Liang pondered for a moment, then picked up his mobile phone and directly dialed the phone number of Wei Zhi from the thoracic surgery department of the Provincial People’s Hospital.

“Director Wei, there is a patient currently on the way to your hospital, and both of us doctors suspect it’s a case of lung echinococcosis. Please make the necessary preparations in advance,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhi’s face immediately changed!

A patient with lung echinococcosis.

This wasn’t an ordinary disease, was it?

His own hospital might really not be able to handle it.

If the patient’s condition was stable, it was still better to transfer to another hospital in a timely manner. Otherwise, any delay in the condition or an accident during surgery would be disastrous!

Although Wei Zhi had never performed such surgery, he had seen it many times. As a very special branch of thoracic surgery, echinococcosis was very rare.

Typically, this disease is more common in the departments of hepatobiliary and general surgery.

It was rarely seen in thoracic surgery, and even when it occurred, it was more common in provinces with pastoral areas.

Sometimes, many diseases have regional characteristics, which give many hospitals their specialties.

Take a simple example; in the southern part of Dongyang Province, where the coal industry thrives, the pulmonary, thoracic, and orthopedic departments in those hospitals and mining bureau hospitals are very strong.

That’s because coal miners commonly suffer from respiratory diseases, pulmonary diseases, and fractures caused by injuries.

The same is true for different regions. This kind of lung hydatid disease is rare in central cities, and only a few cases have been seen occasionally. But in recent years, thanks to developed transportation and an increase in population movement, it could still occur.

Otherwise, it was very unlikely for central cities to encounter such diseases!

In the areas downstream of the Yangtze River and the southern regions, where there are more water environments like paddy fields, parasitic diseases are also relatively more common.

In central northern cities like this, one might go their entire career as a doctor without encountering such diseases.

Therefore, upon hearing Qian Liang’s words, Wei Zhi’s first reaction was to hesitate.

“This, Dean Qian, how is the patient’s condition right now?” he asked.

Qian Liang’s expression was somewhat solemn, and he said in a low voice, “Allergic shock, must immediately start anti-allergy treatment and be ready for surgery at any time. Transfer… there’s no time.”

In such a time, if a student suddenly died at the school, the speed and impact of the news spreading would be immense!

Especially during the new student orientation!

If the treatment succeeded, it would absolutely be good news, and for the reputation of Dongyang Medical University, it would be a great thing!

After all, such news is very positive!

Because the university itself is a medical school, carrying the responsibility of training medical personnel.

If the treatment was successful, once the students spread the word, their sense of pride and belonging would surge dramatically, and the positive influence on the internet and in various circles would also grow increasingly higher.

On the other hand, it could also subtly highlight Dongyang Medical University’s medical technology and expertise, having an overwhelmingly positive impact on showcasing the school’s medical capabilities!

But…

If the treatment failed, the implications would be enormous.

The negative impact could be suppressed through the influence within the circle.

The message could be prevented from spreading.

But then!

What would the students think?

A student died and instead of the school trying its best to save them successfully, it focused on controlling public opinion. Qian Liang was adamant about not wanting to see such a thing happen.

In the long run, it would chill the hearts of all the students!

“It takes ten years to nurture trees and a hundred to nurture people”; the situation couldn’t be allowed to ruin the reputation of Dongyang Medical University, nor could it affect the hearts of countless students aspiring to become medical practitioners.

“`

Qian Liang thought more and more that they should go all out on this matter!

To give the students a positive, active influence.

To erect a beacon of confidence for the children!

Upon hearing Qian Liang’s words, Wei Zhi took a deep breath, “Dean Qian, I’ll be frank with you. My personal expertise in lung hydatid cyst removal surgery is quite limited, because such operations are too rare locally, and we lack practice.”

“Not to make you laugh, but it’s been so long since I’ve encountered such a patient. It’s been a long time since our hospital has too. The last time we had one, we invited an expert from Inner Mongolia to perform the surgery.”

“If there’s no time for a transfer, I’ll do my best to provide treatment, but I still need to say what must be said to you.”

At this point, Wei Zhi couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed and blushed.

Qian Liang was taken aback, he had transferred to the Provincial People’s Hospital partly because their thoracic surgery was a bit stronger than that of Dongda First Hospital.

But it turned out that even here it was no good!

How high is the success rate of a transfer?

Qian Liang turned around to look at Chen Cang and Jing Ran, who both recognized and suggested the name of the disease. They must understand it, so… what if they could perform the surgery?

“If it’s confirmed to be a lung hydatid cyst, can you perform the surgery?”

Chen Cang and Jing Ran, in unison, nodded and said, “We can!”

When Qian Liang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He picked up the phone and spoke to Wei Zhi, “Director Wei, I’ve brought two doctors who can perform the surgery. It was their suspicion that diagnosed the lung hydatid cyst.”

Wei Zhi, puzzled, heard this and asked out of curiosity, “Oh? Who might that be? Are they from Dongyang?”

Qian Liang responded, “One is a talent recently recruited from the capital, Jing Ran, who did his postdoctorate at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital in thoracic surgery. The other is… a doctor from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital.”

After listening to this, Wei Zhi also paused for a moment, an externally recruited talent? But hearing it was a postdoctoral fellow, Qian Liang couldn’t help but hesitate.

Postdoctoral fellow, postdoctoral fellow, sounds impressive, but they are all good at talking, writing papers, doing research—when it comes to clinical work… some are just armchair strategists…

Hopefully, this Jing Ran has some real skills. After all, Fuwai Hospital’s cardiothoracic surgery is indeed exceptional.

But… a doctor from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital? Proficient in thoracic surgery…

A certain name suddenly leapt to his mind.

Could it be Chen Cang?

Thinking of Chen Cang, Wei Zhi suddenly felt it was a possibility, recalling the last time he saw Chen Cang’s thoracic surgery on esophageal burst repair at the Second Provincial Hospital, Wei Zhi suddenly believed that Chen Cang really could be capable!

So, Wei Zhi asked, “Is it… Chen Cang?”

Qian Liang was dumbfounded, what was this, not following the script?

I’ve been introducing Jing Ran at length, he’s the postdoctoral fellow in thoracic surgery from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital!

And you’re asking me… is it Chen Cang?

No, that’s not right…

Could it be that Wei Zhi knows Chen Cang?

Qian Liang hesitated and then nodded, “That’s right, it’s Chen Cang from the emergency department of the Second Provincial Hospital! Do you know him, Director Wei?”

Wei Zhi nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief, “If Doctor Chen says he can do it, then that’s good enough for me.”

“I’ll immediately arrange for a rescue, and I’ll get an operating room ready as soon as possible!”

These words left Qian Liang completely dumbfounded.

What was this situation?

Qian Liang really wanted to turn around and ask:

Chen Cang… did you show off again at the Provincial People’s Hospital?
