When the Doctor Uses A Hack

In the vast conference hall, Chen Cang, clad in the attire sponsored by Qin Xiaoyuan, didn’t feel a hint of panic!

After all, he had the blessing of his father-in-law.

The expectations of his wife’s entire family rested on his shoulders; today, he definitely had to put on a good performance.

He looked up to see Qin Yue, graceful in her cheongsam, and immediately felt an intense regret!

But… thinking about Xiao Qin’s fifty minutes, Chen Cang felt the pressure was immense.

It had been a long while since he took the stage seriously. He needed to polish his skills thoroughly, or he’d really get rusty!

After all, last-minute preparations have their shine, even if not at their quickest!

Chen Cang, phone in hand, kept rehearsing his lines, honing his speech delivery, cramming like a last-minute fervent prayer. (Just now his thoughts strayed, prompting a three-minute self-reflection)

…

After making lunch for Qin Xiaoyuan, Ji Ruyun, with nothing better to do at home, lay on the sofa utterly bored.

Looking at the wrinkles on her face in the Mirror, she suddenly said, “Old Qin, how much money do you think would be appropriate to give little Chen for plastic surgery?”

Qin Xiaoyuan smiled slightly, “Whatever the amount should be, that’s what it is. Besides, they’re not even married yet, and you want a bargain? Moreover… whether the money goes to Chen Cang or our daughter, what’s the difference?”

Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes at his response, this old fox, such a sly one!

Ji Ruyun shook her head, “Oh, that’s not what I meant. Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained!”

After they tidied up, Ji Ruyun sighed, “Ah, once the girl is married off, how dull will it be for just the two of us at home? I’m about to retire soon too, I need to find something to do, right?”

Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly paused what he was doing and turned to look at Ji Ruyun, “Eh? Wife, how about we go to the hepatobiliary surgery symposium today?”

Ji Ruyun rolled her eyes again, “Are you crazy? It’s the weekend, a time to rest, and you want to attend a symposium.”

Qin Xiaoyuan hurried to sit down beside the sofa, “No, let’s go see Qin Yue and little Chen, don’t you want to see your daughter hosting? Aren’t you anticipating little Chen’s speech at the podium?”

Persuaded by Qin Xiaoyuan’s words, Ji Ruyun’s eyes lit up!

Yes!

Great idea!

Thinking this, Ji Ruyun planted a peck on Qin Xiaoyuan’s cheek, “Husband, you’re sly and shrewd!”

After saying this, she hurriedly got up to start tidying her makeup.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the sofa, even though praised by his wife and receiving a gift… he couldn’t help feeling it wasn’t exactly a compliment.

Sly and shrewd?

No matter how he saw it, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that these words sounded more like negative criticism!

In a rush, the couple got ready and set off.

Compared to Old Qin, Ji Ruyun was very excited, insisting that Old Qin carry the camera and take a good number of photos.

…

…

At half-past eight, Zhang Youfu, as one of the conference’s organizers, took the stage to begin his speech.

This conference had invited various department heads and experts in hepatobiliary surgery from within Dongyang province, as well as some experts from the capital.

Each annual conference actually needs to be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, after all, it’s also a costly event.

The fees for these experts to give lectures range from 3,000 to 5,000, depending on their academic status. Generally, the price for a national-renowned doctor’s lecture is around 5,000, and for academicians, the price might be even higher.

Moreover, besides the lecture fees, the hotel arrangements usually involve presidential suites, costing tens of thousands for one day. After all, some of these big shots are quite old and need to bring assistants with them.

Consequently, the cost of an annual conference increases significantly.

However, pharmaceutical companies don’t really care about this amount of money. Furthermore, when it comes to sponsoring such conferences, there’s a scramble to offer support. If you don’t have sufficient status, you won’t even qualify for the privilege to sponsor!

For pharmaceutical companies, sponsoring such highly specialized official annual conferences is also an exceedingly important marketing opportunity.

After all, mentioning that your medication sponsored the Hepatobiliary Surgery Annual Conference of Dongyang Province signifies recognition, which is highly beneficial for future promotion.

…

After Zhang Youfu finished his opening speech, he began to introduce today’s guests.

Due to Chen Cang’s uniqueness, he was arranged to be the first one.

Zhang Youfu said with a smile, “Let’s welcome Chen Cang to the stage with a round of applause.”

After Chen Cang came up and bowed to the audience, he didn’t engage in too many cumbersome procedures and directly started today’s topic.

“Today, I will share two surgical techniques I have improved myself, hoping to inspire all of you.”

“The first one is an improved technique for minimally invasive appendectomy. Over the years, the appendix…”

Chen Cang began to speak eloquently, and the expressions of those below varied.

Some were attentive, while others didn’t give it much thought.

After all, in many people’s eyes, appendectomy, the most basic surgical procedure, doesn’t seem to have much value for improvement, and nowadays, large hospitals use laparoscopy anyway. Who would bother with a small incision?

But it meant different things to different people!

For those county-level hospitals that haven’t popularized laparoscopic surgeries, they were suddenly all ears upon seeing this procedure. Their thoughts, just like Duan Bo from Lan County People’s Hospital, were that they could compensate for the shortcomings brought about by the lack of advanced laparoscopic techniques!

And moreover, the cost for a small incision is at least half that of laparoscopy!

This is very appealing to the ordinary people.

Therefore, after Chen Cang finished talking about the first surgical technique, the audience’s reactions were mixed.

And to be honest, many looked at Chen Cang, a young fellow who improved a surgical procedure, with skepticism, questioning the effectiveness of his improvements.

Everyone might consider Chen Cang’s ideas, but they wouldn’t necessarily fully esteem them.

After Chen Cang finished, he projected a photo onto the screen and said, “This article has just been accepted by the ‘British Journal of Surgery’. Here is the acceptance notice, and it may not be long before you can search for it online. In fact, the continuous refinement of the small incision complements the laparoscopic surgeries.”

“The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are indisputable, but its shortcomings are also quite obvious. For appendectomy, the small incision approach can meet the advantages of laparoscopy and also make up for its deficiencies. It has its value. Now Director Duan and I have been clinically applying the improved minimally invasive appendectomy technique for some time, and the results are very clear.”

Duan Bo, listening below, was thrilled!

After all, being involved in such a project was highly fulfilling,

And when he heard Chen Cang announce that the article was published in the ‘British Journal of Surgery’, he was absolutely astounded!

And when he saw his own name as the first author on the acceptance notice, he was beyond excited!

What merits did he, Duan Bo, have?

He achieved something even the directors of provincial-level hospitals couldn’t: publishing in one of the world’s top journals.

Looking at Chen Cang again, Duan Bo’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
