When the Doctor Uses A Hack-Chapter 821 - Chen Cangs Thoughts

Chapter 821: Chapter 821: Chen Cang’s Thoughts Chapter 821 -821: Chen Cang’s Thoughts Xu Ziming instantly regretted asking such a question after the fact, inwardly cursing himself for posing such an unprofessional query!

He was mainly just too curious earlier!

But… no matter what, he should not have asked such a question in front of the patient himself, this little guy barely in his teens, right to his face!

Because everyone knows that the chances wouldn’t be high!

Patients with mitral valve insufficiency like this one, who only had an ejection fraction of 0.45, were already suffering from severe left ventricular dysfunction; performing conventional surgery under these circumstances in provincial hospitals resulted in a controllability of less than twenty percent!

Controllable merely meant the patient’s vital signs could be maintained post-operation, but no one could say for how long!

Likely, even the world’s leading hospitals wouldn’t see rates exceed fifty percent.

The issue of probability was never a matter of arbitrary guessing but involved many reference factors in the calculations, scientifically significant just like how long someone with gastric cancer might live; these had all been researched.

But!

Xu Ziming thought of Chen Cang’s plan to use the heart-beating surgery technique, which could potentially increase success rates by reducing the damage and complications caused by the heart-lung machine.

But…

This increase might be slight, but what Xu Ziming couldn’t possibly anticipate was that Chen Cang would claim a confidence level of seventy percent!

Not just him!

Everyone in the room couldn’t help but glance sideways in astonishment!

Expressions complex!

After all, hearing such exaggerated numbers from the mouth of a young man seemed too casual and hasty!

Did Xu Ziming believe it?

He was skeptical!

Did the attending doctor beside him believe it?

Not a chance!

Did the iron-headed team leader, Ma, believe it?

He believed!

He believed in Chen Cang as a person!

If a man stood his ground, so would his words!

Chen Cang had never appeared to him as someone who spoke recklessly.

Perhaps he did have confidence!

But, true or false, to the ears of the patient’s family and the patient himself, this was undoubtedly a gospel!

Zhu Hanliang’s breathing quickened, his eyes widening as he hastily looked at Chen Cang, first apologizing, then skeptically asking, “Dr. Chen, I’m so sorry for not recognizing your greatness, please forgive me! But… do you really have such confidence?”

Zhu Hanliang had heard the highest success rates were around forty to fifty percent at Mayo; compared with that number, Chen Cang had effectively doubled it!

Was Chen Cang better than those top-tier giants at Mayo Clinic?

Zhu Hanliang wasn’t sure!

But he hoped it was true…

No matter how rational a person is, they’re also lost in times of despair.

Chen Cang nodded, “More or less, confidence is just confidence, success rates are built on theory, but surgery is fraught with risk, you need to understand that.”

Zhu Hanliang quickly nodded, “Understood, understood!”

The young boy also looked at Chen Cang and smiled, “I believe in you!”

Chen Cang was slightly taken aback, then he too smiled, “You should believe in yourself too!”

…

…

After leaving the ward and returning to the office, everyone sat down, looking worried and somewhat incredulous, except for Chen Cang and Team Leader Ma.

“Xiao Chen, let’s hear your surgical concept, so everyone can discuss it and maybe offer some help,” Xu Ziming suggested.

Chen Cang nodded, “Pass me the demonstrator, I’ll draw it out for you to see!”

Minutes later, many experts in cardiac surgery had returned to the discussion room.

The attending doctor was still somewhat distrustful.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

He was aware of Chen Cang; after all, being a young figure in cardiac surgery, it was natural to take note.

Yet even so, he couldn’t bring himself to believe that Chen Cang could boost the success rate of such a surgery by so much.

Did he think everyone in cardiac surgery was a fool?

They worked hard just to increase success rates by a bit, and now you claim to double it for this patient—do you think that’s possible?

The man thought so inwardly, but he didn’t voice his thoughts.

He believed that during the upcoming surgery discussion, this group of experts would surely set Chen Cang straight, letting him know this was the capital city, it was the city’s emergency center hospital!

Soon, the conference room filled with department-head doctors from the cardiac surgery field, the high-end powerhouses of the department.

Xu Ziming recapped the surgical situation; they were all aware of the patient, having discussed the case before.

But why were they here today?

Xu Ziming announced, “Let me introduce you to Chen Cang, last year’s national champion in cardiac surgery skills competition, and he claims he could raise the patient’s success rate to around seventy percent.”

“So I hope you all can assess the feasibility of the surgery and offer any suggestions.”

Upon hearing Chen Cang’s name, everyone’s eyes sparkled slightly, appreciative!

After all, Chen Cang’s operations from the competition were now used as teaching videos for learning and appreciation by the discipline of cardiac surgery.

But!

As admiring as they were, it did not mean they believed when they heard Chen Cang claim a seventy percent assurance!

Doubt was certain!

Doubt was indeed the attitude a medical professional ought to have!

Without it, how could things ever improve?

Especially with overly optimistic rates like seventy percent!

So, everyone glanced sideways, eyeing Chen Cang as he sketched on the display board, their looks becoming more complex.

Chen Cang turned with a smile, “Just five minutes, Dr. Zhao will share the patient’s medical record with everyone first, take a look.”

Dr. Zhao was the attending doctor, ironically resigned to the grunt work!

…

…

Under heart-beating conditions, such surgery had no turning back once begun!

Given the patient’s current condition, there was only one chance for surgery.

Without relying on the heart-lung machine directly or taking a risk with the heart-beating procedure, either way, the success rates were meager.

Therefore, before the surgery, it was imperative to share the surgical simulation and flowchart with everyone!

Many experts present had strong surgical confidence and control.

Perhaps two months ago, Chen Cang himself didn’t possess the assurance needed to fully grasp a surgery before it began, but now, with many cardiac surgeries under his belt, he had that control.

Thus, Chen Cang also hoped others would point out his flaws and shortcomings.

Only then could the surgery’s chances of success be assured!

After five minutes, Chen Cang sketched out a rough diagram of a heart and its process on the board, then picked up the heart model on the table, looking around at everyone with hopeful eyes.

These people would be his team in the future; today, he had to impress them!

With that thought, Chen Cang’s face cleverly smirked, causing Old Ma to shudder!
