Chapter 334: Chapter 335: Are You Just Looking for an Excuse to Kick Me Out?
Qian Lin thought it over and over, but still didnât understand his teacherâs expression.
It always seemed a bit odd!
A little displeased, a bit helpless, and even seemed like he had something to say but held backâ¦
Thinking of this, Qian Lin hurriedly said, âTeacher⦠Whatâs this about?â
Tao Zi waved his hand, âItâs nothing!â
Suddenly, Tao Zi remembered that Qian Lin and Chen Cang were in the same cohort and his eyes lit up, âXiao Qian, come here, I want to ask you something.â
Qian Lin immediately became excited, could it be that the teacher was going to have a heart-to-heart with him?
With that thought, Qian Linâs eyes shone: âTeacher, please ask!â
Tao Zi suddenly asked, âI want to ask you something, do you know Chen Cang? Heâs a graduate student like you, from this yearâs class.â
Upon hearing this, Qian Lin wished he could share everything he knew: âYeah, yeah, I know him, weâre in the same class and have a great relationship!â
Tao Zi also became interested, âOh⦠So, how much do you know about Chen Cang? Who is his mentor?â
Qian Lin was thrilled to hear the teacher ask this question; this was his area of expertise!
Qian Lin knew firsthand the process of Chen Cang choosing Meng Xi as his mentor, so he smiled slightly, âI know, teacher! Youâve asked the right person. You should know that I was there when Chen Cang was taking Meng Xi as his mentor. Let me tell you about it!â
âChen Cangâs mentor is Director Meng Xi, 30 years old this year, graduated from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden with a Doctor of Medicineâ¦â
Tao Zi, of course, knew who Meng Xi was, and hearing Qian Linâs embellished introduction, he hurriedly interjected, âHold on, hold on, isnât Chen Cangâs mentor Xia Gaofeng?â
Qian Lin was stunned, âOf course not!â
âChen Cang went straight to Director Meng! Let me tell you, at that time, the situation was like thisâ¦â
Thus, the events of the day unfolded through Qian Linâs narration, much like listening to a novel; tales of English handoff translations, the superhuman vascular suturing technique, the sharp diagnostic skillsâ¦
Tao Zi listened and was completely confused, asking incredulously, âIs what youâre saying true?â
Qian Lin immediately nodded, âOf course itâs true, you should have seen Director Xiaâs face at the time!â
Speaking of this, Qian Lin said, âAt that time, Chen Cangâs vascular suturing was faster than Ge Huai, a student already graduated and retained by the hospital under Director Xia. His skill level was really impressive. But he chose Meng Xi as his mentor!â
âWhen I saw Director Xia Gaofengâs expression, he was so envious it was intolerable, he was almost at the point of snatching Chen Cang away! Just likeâ¦â
At this point, Qian Lin suddenly stopped!
Because he realized that his teacher Tao Ziâs current expression was all too familiar!
It was as if he had seen it somewhere before!
It seemed⦠very similar to the expression of Director Xia Gaofeng back then!
At this thought, Qian Linâs heart started to panic tremendously!
âMy teacher wants to abandon me, what should I do? Iâm waiting online, itâs urgentâ¦â
â¦
â¦
After half a day of contemplation, Tao Zi suddenly relaxed quite a bit, after all⦠Chen Cang hadnât chosen Xia Gaofeng!
That made everything alright!
As for that Xiao Meng, well⦠Itâs said that Meng Xi isnât married yet, and is quite pretty.
Thinking it over, Tao Zi suddenly felt relieved.
The reason must lie right here.
After all, with Chen being so outstanding and so skilled, does he need a mentor?
If itâs not for some other reason, why would he choose Meng Xi as his mentor?
With this thought, Tao Zi suddenly felt much better, and breathed a sigh of relief with a clear and refreshed mind.
Chen Cangâs gaze softened a lot as he watched Qian Lin, âThatâs pretty good, Qian, not bad at all. Youâve quickly mastered the pericardial puncture technique. Excellent! Tomorrow, follow me into surgery.â
Upon hearing this, Qian Lin felt somewhat nervous and looked at Tao Zi with a mixture of belief and doubt, âTeacher, are you really trying to find an excuse to kick me out?â
â¦
â¦
Chen Cang was in a good mood.
Fortune brings a lighter heart. Seeing each of his pericardial surgeries performed by either advanced or master-level practitioners, Chen Cang had to admit he felt somewhat inflated with pride.
The only downside was the night shift tonight, as he wouldnât be able to show off at the First Hospital of Dongda.
Thinking about it, Chen Cang decided to endure it.
Just before his shift ended, Chen Cang accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, which made his heart skip a beat.
Holy crap!
Why is it him!?
Yes, tonight Chen Cang had to work the night shift alongside Dr. Yan Ming.
This thought alone was enough to make Chen Cangâs heart flutter uncontrollably.
There is a saying in the emergency department that holds true: fear not a god-like opponent but dread a pig-like teammate.
Encountering Yan Ming, Chen Cang really felt like cursing out loud.
But⦠never mind!
Keep calm and carry on, and be extra vigilant in case something comes up.
It wasnât that Chen Cang harbored too much prejudice against Yan Ming, but rather that this doctor really seemed somewhat irresponsibleâ¦
As night fell, Chen Cang had a takeout meal and then began to round the rooms one by one.
This was a habit Chen Bingsheng had taught Chen Cang â no matter the situation, before you start work on the night shift, you must thoroughly understand your patients.
You have to know them inside out!
Because this way, even if something out of the ordinary happens, you could adjust quickly.
And donât forget to give a few words of explanation to the patients, after all, they donât understand their illnesses.
Chen Bingsheng was very good at this; he had a firm grasp of all the information about his patients. It wasnât because of an extraordinary memory that he never forgot anything.
It was because he was so focused and serious about his patients, analyzing any new indicator for a long time, that he became so adept.
This was a good habit Chen Cang had learned from old Chen.
After busily going through his rounds, it was nearly ten oâclock.
Just as Chen Cang was about to head back to the office, he happened to see Yan Ming sitting at the nurseâs station with a thermos cup, chatting and laughing with the nurses. Chang Lina was working on the side.
Chen Cang didnât want to intervene, but remembering a patient during the rounds who seemed to have been admitted today with a heart attack, he couldnât help but give a reminder.
âDr. Yan, keep an eye on patient in bed 13, he was admitted today with acute angina. Make sure nothing goes wrong.â
Hearing Chen Cangâs words, Yan Ming gave a faint smile and nodded lightly, âAll right, Chen, Iâll go and have a look in a bit.â
After saying that, he continued his jovial chat with the nurses.
Chen Cang shook his head and walked toward his office.
It must be said, if you set aside professional and other aspects, Yan Ming, as an older man, had that uncle-like appearance, a friendly demeanor, and a sense of humor. He was unhurried in his actions and never raised his voice. To the nurses, he was always beaming with smiles, generally pleasing to be around.
In comparison, Chen Cang realized that he had picked up a bad habit from Chen Bingsheng â sometimes in a rush, he tended to call on people abruptly.
This calling out might be unintentional, simply out of urgency to provide quick assistance, but⦠it easily offended people.
After all, not everyone can understand you!
Chen Cang, unconcerned, shook his head and returned to the ward.
