Chapter 964 -966: The Life-Saving Benefactor
As the weekend grew closer, Chen Cang felt his tasks becoming increasingly busier.
The editor-in-chief of “Thoracic Surgery Annual” chatted with Chen Cang for a while and expressed the hope to conduct an exclusive interview with him.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Cang had no objections, but…
This month, Chen Cang’s schedule was basically full!
This Saturday and Sunday was the Digestive Salon organized by Sun Guangyu, and the next weekend was a national training to improve knowledge on emergency pancreatic surgery at the grassroots level.
In another two weeks, he was scheduled to go to the United States to attend the digestive function conference at Mayo.
Chen Cang was indeed very busy lately.
So the interview had to be postponed.
What made Chen Cang curious was that the other party completely understood and accepted this, even considering it natural.
It seemed that a celebrity’s time truly wasn’t their own.
After returning home in the evening, Chen Cang began to turn his thoughts on endoscopic technique into an outline on his computer.
If he had known earlier, Chen Cang wouldn’t have spent so much time publishing that paper because, with so many students, he planned to find time for each of them to write a paper from different perspectives and focuses on the surgical techniques.
Now Chen Cang understood why those big names had so many papers; they definitely weren’t written by themselves. Where would they find the time?
They all had their own teams.
The book “Endoscopic Use Techniques and Guidelines” actually had a lot of potential because endoscopy included laparoscopy, thoracoscopy… and so on, and different surgeries certainly required the participation of professionals from various specialties.
However, rather than biting off more than one could chew, it was better to do one thing well.
That was the use of the laparoscope.
It would be best to be rich in illustrations, with surgical images accompanying each technique.
That way, it would be more convenient to learn.
But with so many editors and associate editors, the work could not be done by one person alone.
Chen Cang decided to first put together the overall framework and detail the division of labor, preferably setting up a dedicated editorial team during the upcoming Salon.
Then, he would let these editors complete the specific tasks and illustrations.
In truth, book writing was a major undertaking!
Times had really changed.
Once, a book took over a decade, or even decades, to write. Those famous medical cases were written by the authors themselves, stroke by stroke.
But now?
Most of the books by certain professors that you see were produced by students.
They were even made by piecing together bits from various books.
In this society, the number of people who can truly settle down and delve into academia is dwindling.
To those individuals, publishing books and academic works was a significant event!
Yet now, to many, book publishing had become a form of gilding.
Even major journals and platforms began openly “recruiting” for positions such as “associate editors” and “editorial board members.”
Culture and academia had, at some point, turned into a “tradable commodity.”
Although Chen Cang couldn’t compare to those masters, he hoped that the book he wrote would be genuinely useful and not just for show.
It should serve as a guide for many surgeons on endoscopic techniques!
When Chen Cang was busy, Qin Yue did not disturb him and simply read her book alone.
Chen Cang spent the entire evening sorting through the things in his mind and organizing the outline.
First and foremost, Volume One was the endoscope usage guide, for general use.
Next, in the second volume, he hoped to incorporate techniques based on categories of diseases and the like.
…
…
Working clinically during the day and writing at night, such a life was truly fulfilling, which simply put, was very tiring.
But as tiring as it was, this meaningful work had to be approached with a calm, patient, and meticulous mind.
In fact, he understood that he had already taken a shortcut; the perfect endoscopic skills and experiences in his mind flashed like images time and time again. Chen Cang only needed to categorize these things well.
However, on Thursday morning, Sun Guangyu from Xiehe called; Elder Bu wished to see Chen Cang to express his gratitude in person.
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang felt quite honored, and after work, he carefully selected some items suitable for Elder Bu’s regular consumption at the supermarket.
He specially went to Xiehe at noon to see Elder Bu.
Seeing Chen Cang had come, Elder Bu signaled his family to help him sit up properly in bed and, smiling at Chen Cang, said, “If you’ve come, you’ve come; you shouldn’t have brought things.”
Chen Cang shook his head with a smile, “I’ve bought some samples. When you leave here, you can make purchases based on these. They’re good for your gastrointestinal tract.”
Hearing what Chen Cang had said, Bu Hanyu burst into laughter.
Elder Bu’s family and other people around, seeing how happy Bu Hanyu was, couldn’t help but feel moved: Educated people really are different, even their gifts are so meaningful and hit right at home.
This was a VIP ward with a dedicated reception room, and many people were there.
It seemed that today was the day Elder Bu was allowed visitors, for many had come.
Bu Hanyu called Chen Cang to the bedside and they began to chat.
One might have expected a long lecture on profound life principles, but it was quite the opposite.
Elder Bu advised Chen Cang to take care of his health while he was young, as health is the capital for revolution. He said all his ailments were sequelae from his youth and he praised Chen Cang quite a bit with a hearty laugh.
After chatting with Bu Hanyu for a good while, Chen Cang prepared to take his leave.
After all, the elder had just started to recover and shouldn’t be overexerted.
Just as Chen Cang was about to leave, Elder Bu called out to him, his eyes drooping, and said slowly and deliberately, “You know, young Chen, you really did save this old fellow’s life!
If you encounter any problems in the future, come find me. This old man still has some abilities.”
This statement stunned Chen Cang, and even the people in the reception room were momentarily taken aback.
It was a promise from the elder—clearly, he placed great value on Chen Cang!
He was being treated as a life-saving benefactor.
At that moment, everyone was filled with emotion!
Chen Cang, of course, was endlessly grateful.
Although the elder appeared to be just a frail old man in his twilight years, upon further reflection, his contribution might truly be incomparable to ordinary people!
After giving his heartfelt thanks, Chen Cang stood to leave, reminding the elder to recover well and that he would visit him at his home after his discharge from the hospital.
However, since he was already at Xiehe, Chen Cang decided to stop by the cardiothoracic surgery department to check on Wang Tong!
Wang Tong, who had been mastering the Beating Heart Surgery technique, had been extremely busy and constantly in surgery, relegating his wife to the proverbial cold palace.
Now Wang Tong had almost become an “inpatient doctor,” engrossed daily in research on the Beating Heart Surgery technique.
Seeing Chen Cang come in, Wang Tong put down the lunchbox he was holding, “Professor Chen, what brings you here?”
Wang Tong was not wrong to call him that.
Chen Cang smiled, “I just happened to be passing by, thought I’d see how you’re doing.”
Wang Tong nodded with a smile and invited Chen Cang into his office.
Seeing Wang Tong’s lunchbox on the desk, the computer turned on, and the reams of printed out papers, Chen Cang couldn’t help feeling that being a chief at Xiehe was really not easy!
