Chapter 1714: Chapter 1718: Professor Chen, Truly a Genius!
The crowd was suddenly taken aback!
They turned to look at Yu Yonggang, curious, who is this Professor Chen?
"Professor Chen?"
"Who is Professor Chen?"
Yang Jinwu from Jishuitan felt it sounded familiar: "Professor Chen? Sounds familiar..."
Yu Yonggang suddenly had a revelation as well!
Oh right!
How could he forget this guy?
Yu Yonggang quickly said, "Hurry, get Chen Cang over here..."
Before he could finish, Yu Yonggang abruptly stopped.
It suddenly occurred to him that Chen Cang had left some time ago.
However, Yu Yonggang still wasn’t used to it.
He would always call out for Chen Cang from time to time.
Thinking of this, Yu Yonggang couldn’t help but sigh.
"Director Yu... Professor Chen has already returned to Anyang," Xiao Ke quietly reminded him.
Yu Yonggang nodded, waving his hand: "Hmm, I know."
At this point, the others finally realized!
"Director Yu, are you talking about... Professor Chen Cang?" Yang Wenwu asked curiously.
"Yes!" Yu Yonggang nodded, but still said, "I’m not sure how Professor Chen is with orthopedic spinal fractures... I haven’t seen him, I don’t know how he is!"
The others nodded.
Chen Cang must be impressive.
As directors of orthopedics, they had all heard of Chen Cang’s name, indicating his fame had transcended the medical field and he was also renowned in the capital’s medical circle!
"Perhaps... we should give him a call? After all, this is considered a neurosurgery procedure, maybe Professor Chen has delved into it!" Qu Jinguo couldn’t help but suggest.
Yan Zhengjun from the PLA Hospital also nodded: "Yes, having more people means more ideas, you can’t predict Professor Chen with common sense."
After some contemplation, Yu Yonggang said nothing more.
He directly dialed Chen Cang’s number. Just last night, Chen Cang had wished him a Happy New Year and sent out many red envelopes in the Capital Emergency Center’s Emergency Department group chat.
While waiting for the call to connect, Yu Yonggang said: "Hey... don’t get your hopes too high, after all, Chen Cang is not omnipotent, especially considering that treating spinal cord injuries is still an international challenge..."
Before he could finish, the call connected.
"Director Yu, Happy New Year!"
Yu Yonggang quickly nodded, skipping the pleasantries, and got straight to the point: "Chen Cang, there’s a fire at the chemical research institute today, and a firefighter is..."
"At high risk of paralysis!"
"I’ll send you the photos via WeChat, take a look at the images first."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang nodded and said: "Okay!"
Yu Yonggang quickly took photos and sent them to Chen Cang.
The entire emergency rescue room was plunged into silence.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Cang’s response.
A minute later, a WeChat notification sounded, the previously undistinguished sound became very clear.
Because everyone was waiting for this sound!
Chen Cang’s message was simple: "Prepare the operating room, wait for me!"
Chen Cang’s words were brief and to the point!
But they left everyone in the rescue room stunned on the spot!
Prepare the operating room? Wait for me?
What does that mean?
They exchanged glances, and from each other’s eyes, they saw confusion and shock!
Could it be... that Chen Cang could do it?
Could Chen Cang perform this surgery?
Thinking of this, everyone was both amazed and delighted!
Could Chen Cang really perform this surgery?
Even Yu Yonggang was taken aback, finding it hard to believe.
After all, this isn’t just an ordinary surgery, it involves how to address nerve regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord transection—an international issue!
This is one of the most difficult and challenging issues worldwide.
"Could it be... that Professor Chen can... also perform spinal surgery?" Qu Jinguo from the Third Hospital of Beijing mused thoughtfully.
Yu Yonggang awkwardly cleared his throat: "Well... probably?!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wenwu immediately said: "Director Yu, didn’t Chen Cang stay with you for an entire year? How could you not know if he can perform spinal surgery?"
This made Yu Yonggang feel like cursing!
You could be with Chen Cang for a lifetime and still not know what his next surgery would be!
A year, a year isn’t worth a damn!
"Well... the time was too short, Chen Cang... he didn’t have the chance to do this orthopedic surgery yet!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded!
What does it mean by having no chance?
Yan Zhengjun curiously asked: "Director Yu, do you mean..."
Yu Yonggang sighed: "Ever since Chen Cang came to our Emergency Center, he hasn’t stayed by my side for long!"
"First he started with cardiothoracic surgery, doing a beating-heart surgery, then he went out to win awards. When he came back, he hadn’t rested long before he began working on gastrointestinal surgery; then as you know... the World Society for Gastrointestinal Surgery was established!"
"Then it was major blood vessels, dealing with Marfan syndrome, including that aortic dissection surgery, leading a group to the AATS conference!"
"And then you saw, Parkinson’s, before he left, he started to venture into neurosurgery, and casually cracked the Parkinson’s surgery!"
Upon saying this, even Yu Yonggang had an epiphany.
My damn!
Right!
That kid came here for a year, and he spent less time in our Emergency Department than in cardiothoracic surgery?
Thinking of this, Old Yu felt a bit aggrieved.
The others glanced at Old Yu and deeply sighed.
This is what it’s like to come for further study!
"This might be the most amazing further study in the world!"
"Yes! Learn one, master one!"
"Can this be called mastery? It’s called breaking through one."
"I suddenly feel that Professor Chen might really be able to perform this surgery!"
...
...
On this side, Chen Cang just booked a restaurant and put down his phone, saying to Qin Yue: "There’s a serious spinal cord injury fracture surgery in the capital, I have to go over now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue’s expression changed: "How are you going to get there? Shall I take you?"
Chen Cang shook his head: "No need, there’s no time. I’ll contact Dongda First Hospital’s helicopter to save some time."
Qin Yue nodded: "Then take care and I’ll manage things at home!"
"Do you need to prepare anything?"
Chen Cang shook his head, gently touched Qin Yue’s head, and smiled: "Just make sure to be well, thank you, honey!"
After speaking, Chen Cang walked towards the outside, and before leaving, he called Wu Hui and Wang Qian.
"Come with me to the capital! There’s a spinal cord injury surgery."
Wu Hui nodded. He is single now, celebrating the New Year with his parents. Receiving the call, he glances apologetically at his parents: "Dad, Mom, Professor Chen... has a surgery, needs to go to the capital..."
Wu Hui’s father, hearing this, hurriedly said: "Quickly go, don’t let Professor Chen wait impatiently. You owe your status today to Professor Chen! You must be grateful!"
The old father thinks Wu Hui is helping.
Wu Hui quickly said: "Dad, Professor Chen wants to take me to learn things."
Upon hearing this, the old father instantly said: "You ungrateful duo, why are you still hesitating, eh... You’re only lucky to meet such a benefactor in your lifetime, you need to cherish it well!"
Wang Qian was just got peed on his pants by his child, hurriedly stood up: "Wife, a hero is waiting for me to rescue, you take care of the child first!"
After saying this, he bid farewell to his parents and directly got up!
Chen Cang then called Qian Liang directly, not being familiar with the hospital director, it was better to contact Qian Liang directly.
Qian Liang also contacted the capital emergency center, hurrying to arrange for a helicopter.
Ready to set off!
Chen Cang sat on the plane, lost in thought.
He sighed; the Provincial Second Hospital is still too difficult, even applying for a rescue helicopter is quite troublesome, needing to borrow from a bigger hospital.
He needs to communicate with his father-in-law upon returning, the Health Commission must do their coordination work well.
Indeed!
It’s definitely his father-in-law’s fault!
...
...
After getting off the plane, Chen Cang led the two directly towards the operating room!
To be honest, facing the upcoming surgery, Chen Cang wasn’t completely confident he could do it well.
On the plane, Chen Cang thought a lot!
The colorful skill brought Chen Cang an understanding transcending this era.
Chen Cang needs to convert it into methods usable in the current era!
Otherwise, he might really be sliced up for research.
Yu Yonggang was already waiting for Chen Cang at the hospital entrance.
Upon seeing Chen Cang, Old Yu surprisingly felt a warm feeling inside, it’s been a while since he saw this kid, kind of missed him!
"You’re here!"
"Mm!"
"Follow me!"
Old Yu didn’t say much nonsense, directly leading Chen Cang inside.
On the way, Old Yu couldn’t help saying: "It’s the grand New Year, bringing you over."
Chen Cang: "We’re in this profession, talking about trouble, besides... it’s not your matter anyway."
"But... Director Yu, when leaving, you have to prepare some New Year wine, my dad’s fond of that!"
Yu Yonggang smiled: "Your share will not be lacking!"
"By the way, about this surgery... do you have confidence?"
Chen Cang nodded: "Not a big problem."
Seeing Chen Cang’s confident look, Yu Yonggang honestly felt proud inside.
After all, following under his guidance for a year.
Inside the surgery room, Yu Yonggang introduced Chen Cang one by one.
Everyone nodded; they genuinely had high expectations for this surgery.
While preparing, Chen Cang casually asked: "What medication was used?"
"We used methylprednisolone to inhibit lipid peroxidation of cell membranes, accompanied by mannitol to prevent spinal cord edema."
"For repairing and nourishing nerves, neuroganglioside was used."
Chen Cang nodded: "Give high-pressure oxygen!"
"Prepare for surgery."
This surgery requires wearing lead clothing, as X-ray cervical lateral films need to be shot intraoperatively, to determine fracture locations and details.
Before the surgery even began, during anesthetic preparation, the patient suddenly started breathing rapidly!
Everyone’s expression changed!
Facing respiratory difficulty now clearly indicates complications from spinal cord injury.
Once the upper cervical spinal cord is injured, quadriplegia can easily occur. If the diaphragm and intercostal muscles become paralyzed, breathing difficulty can occur, often causing rapid death!
Thus, everyone couldn’t help but take it seriously!
Truthfully, despite being top spine surgery experts, no one had inner confidence for this surgery.
On the other hand, Chen Cang, at this moment, just gently placed his hand on the abdomen and calmly said: "The patient only has abdominal breathing, indicating a spinal cord injury was at the lower neck segment, causing limb paralysis below the injury plane, segmental sensory and motor disorders in the upper limbs.
Due to paralysis of the thoracic respiratory muscles, there’s only abdominal breathing, not a big issue!"
Chen Cang’s words were said casually and his composed attitude really puzzled everyone.
This was the first time they met Chen Cang.
Unexpectedly, this encounter gave them such a sense of meeting a highly skilled person!
Really, witnessing firsthand exceeds word of mouth.
They exchanged glances, involuntarily generating a phrase in their minds:
Professor Chen... is truly a remarkable person!
