When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Across the ocean in Britain, it was time for afternoon tea, a long-standing tradition that had experienced a resurgence in the 21st century.

On such a sunny and unusually comfortable afternoon, George Xavier thoroughly enjoyed this precious time!

“Editor-in-chief, I hope you can take a look at this article, it’s really fantastic! I swear on my honor!”

Xavier saw the phone light up, noticing an email from “Tang Sen” and couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

Xavier sighed, feeling truly helpless about this young man!

However, she didn’t want to disrupt her afternoon tea and closed the phone, continuing to sip her tea.

The British like to drink their tea cup… after cup…

Who knows what time it will be by the time they’re finished.

Tang Sen rubbed his head, looking at the article in his hands, feeling quite annoyed!

Tang Sen was Chinese, had studied for his medical doctorate in Britain, and after graduating under his mentor’s recommendation, came to work at “British Surgical Journal,” but he hadn’t received much attention since then.

Moreover, the most important thing was that the papers he selected were hardly ever accepted!

This made Tang Sen very troubled.

So much so that he was still toiling as an intern editor to this day.

If he didn’t achieve excellent results soon, he figured he wouldn’t even get a formal offer.

To obtain a formal offer earlier, Tang Sen naturally had to sacrifice his rest time to work and review articles.

As a world-leading surgical system journal, “British Surgical Journal” received many emails from all over the world every day.

However, it was precisely because of this that Tang Sen caught sight of a submission from his homeland across the ocean earlier than others.

During the time for afternoon tea, Tang Sen finished reading the article.

But this article made Tang Sen’s eyes light up!

Because it was truly stellar!

And highly topical.

Last year, in the first half, “British Surgical Journal” had just featured an article from Professor Austar of General Surgery at British Royal Brompton Hospital regarding research on the disadvantages and insufficiencies of laparoscopic appendectomy.

The article caused quite a fluctuation in the impact factor of the issue of “British Surgical Journal,” and Professor Austar’s proposed minimally invasive appendectomy was becoming increasingly popular abroad.

After all, such a traditional surgical method could minimize side effects and reduce harmful factors like abdominal adhesions that negatively impact recovery later on!

The advantages of laparoscopic surgery were clear, but… Austar believed, as long as laparoscopy was involved, the operation couldn’t be called perfect.

Yet for minimally invasive appendectomy, there were significant limitations, and it demanded a lot from the doctors.

So, despite the high demand, after more than a year of development, the progress was minimal!

So when Tang Sen saw this article, he sharp-wittedly captured this piece of information!

He was surprised to find that a doctor named Chen Cang had actually improved the minimally invasive appendectomy technique.

To others, this might be insignificant, but for “British Surgical Journal” and Professor Austar at Royal Brompton Hospital, it was of extraordinary significance!

It could even reignite the impact that the original minimally invasive appendectomy had made.

Thinking of this, Tang Sen was naturally very excited; this could be the key to securing his offer!

However, after waiting half the day, he realized that editor-in-chief George Xavier was still ignoring him, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, when he first arrived, the editor-in-chief had been quite kind to him, but it seemed… he really hadn’t grasped the opportunity.

But this time, it was his rare chance!

With this thought, Tang Sen gritted his teeth and walked towards the place where George Xavier liked to have afternoon tea.

“Editor-in-chief, I hope you can take a look at this article, I believe it will catch your eye, it’s an opportunity for our ‘British Surgical Journal’!”

Xavier heaved a sigh, if it weren’t for the fact that she and Tang Sen’s teacher were classmates, she would have definitely kicked him out without any courtesy!

With no other choice, he picked up the article and started to read.

And as he read!

Xavier’s expression changed immediately, and he quickly dropped the careless demeanor he had just a moment ago and got serious!

Half an hour later, Xavier finished reading the article!

After finishing, Xavier’s expression changed slightly, and looking at Tang Sen, he nodded approvingly and said, “Not bad! If you find another excellent article, you must come to me!”

“Right, first send the author an acceptance notice!”

Xavier stood up; there was no mood for afternoon tea anymore. She needed to contact Austar and discuss this article as quickly as possible.

This truly was as important for appendix surgery as Tang Sen had said!

After all, in earlier years, the West did not place much importance on the appendix, to the extent that many had their appendix removed in childhood to prevent future issues.

It was precisely because of this that they placed greater emphasis on the technique of the surgery.

Even though many studies have now found the appendix to be quite useful, the frequent occurrence of appendicitis has also led to increased attention to appendectomy, but this does not hinder research into appendix surgery!

Naturally, Xavier was very excited!

Seeing Tang Sen was about to hurry off, Xavier continued, “By the way, you and the author should exchange contact information. I believe this is no small matter.”

“Also, waive the submission fee!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Sen’s face turned excited!

…

…

After a tiring day, Chen Cang was truly fatigued; emergency rescue work really was not something just anyone could do.

Otherwise, despite the good pay, no one would go to the emergency centers.

Just the other day, Chen Cang saw that the capital’s emergency center was hiring, offering locals of the capital settlement and a starting annual salary of above 200,000 yuan for postgraduates, which seemed like a rather tempting offer for a fresh graduate.

However, after going there, those classmates of his unanimously stated that working 12 hours a day was the norm!

They suddenly envied those working 996…

Asleep in the middle of the night, suddenly a message notification sounded.

Chen Cang instinctively opened his eyes.

Looking at the bright light of the phone, he hesitated slightly.

Over the years, Chen Cang had unwittingly developed a not-so-good habit of being a light sleeper.

He would easily wake up at the slightest noise.

Especially sensitive to the sound of phone rings.

Looking at the bright phone screen, Chen Cang hesitated for a while, as the emergency department would definitely not send a message in the middle of the night; they would call instead.

Groggy, he picked up his phone, swiped open the screen, and saw it was an email. But… after seeing the content, Chen Cang had no more desire to sleep!

It was an acceptance notice!

An acceptance notice from the “British Journal of Surgery”!

Seeing the message, Chen Cang was extremely excited.

He had thought that it might take several months to get any news, but to receive an acceptance notice so soon was thrilling!

Generally speaking, with such high-ranking journals, the process of the first and second reviews is very complicated.

And now, in just over half a month, it had already passed.
