When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 49: Mission Accomplished!

Translator: 549690339 |

Chen Cang was suturing when a young nurse walked in.

“Doctor Chen, hello, I’m Li Jia from the general surgery department, here to assist you,” said the young nurse, who appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Chen Cang, without turning his head, nodded, “Alright, thanks for the effort.”

His gaze, however, did not leave the patient.

Five minutes later, Chen Cang finished bandaging and said to Li Jia, “Please call the next patient for me, thanks.”

Li Jia nodded and pressed the call button, “Is there anything else I can do?” Chen Cang replied, “Just handle the calling, and also… throw out this trash.” On hearing this, Li Jia couldn’t help but be startled, yet she nodded, “Okay.” By this time, a whole trash bin had filled up with used suture kits. Li Jia got up to take out the trash and, upon returning, found Chen Cang had already finished with another patient: “Call the next one!”

Li Jia was momentarily taken aback. That fast???

She then pressed the call button again.

Chen Cang took a new wound suturing kit and noticed there weren’t many left, so he said to Li Jia, “Go and ask the head nurse to bring fifty wound suturing kits.”

Li Jia was stunned!

“How many?”

ChenCangreplied, “Fifty!”

Li Jia, bewildered for a moment and seeing there were still seven or eight kits left in the cabinet, quickly got up and rushed out.

“Head Nurse, Doctor Chen in room one needs suture kits, fifty of them!”

Tian Xianglan, the head nurse, looked around at the many patients, nearly seventy or eighty, and nodded, “Follow me to the storeroom.”

Soon, the two of them returned, pushing a cart with two boxes of suture kits on it.

In total, there were ninety kits, divided among three treatment rooms, thirty for each.

After Li Jia came in, she told Chen Cang, “Doctor Chen, the head nurse placed thirty in each room.”

Chen Cang uttered an “Mhm”: “Call the next one.”

Li Jia nodded.

At that moment, Li Jia noticed there were only two suture kits left!

She felt a jolt of panic. She had only been out for about fifteen minutes, hadn’t she? And five were used up? This Doctor Chen was… was he not being too fast? After pressing the call button, Li Jia skillfully picked up the garbage bin, took out the trash, and continued to press the call button…

Chen Gang’s mind was constantly filled with bursts of messages.

[Ding! Suturing successful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10…] [Ding! Suturing successful, experience gained +10, suturing experience +10…]

About an hour later, Chen Cang turned and found there weren’t many suture kits left!

He said to Li Jia, “Go and ask the head nurse for more suture kits.”

Li Jia, startled, was about to say they had just restocked, but turning to look, she saw that the table, which had been full of kits, now had only three or five left.

Feeling as if her eyes were deceiving her, Li Jia quickly got to her feet, “Oh! Alright… ”

Seeing the patients in the hall were dwindling, Tian Xianglan’s anxious heart slowed down a bit. Upon seeing Li Jia come out, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Jia replied, “Head Nurse, room one has run out of suture kits!”

Tian Xianglan immediately frowned.

“That Chen Cang, how is he using them? Tell him to conserve, conserve! Others haven’t run out, why has he? Wasteful! Too wasteful! I’m going to have a word with him!”

Li Jia hurriedly explained, “No, Head Nurse, Doctor Chen didn’t waste any, they are really all used up!”

Tian Xianglan frowned and suddenly heard, “Patient number 69, please proceed to treatment room 1.”

“Let’s go, follow me to get them!”

Once at the supply room, several people discovered, “There are only a little over twenty suture packs left!”

Tian Xianglan’s frown deepened. Normally, suture packs were collected once a week from the instrument department, enough for a week’s usage. How many had been used today?

Li Jia couldn’t help but suggest, “Should we check the next treatment room to see if there are any leftover packs?”

Tian Xianglan replied, “Other doctors need them too.”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jia said, “Prioritize Dr. Chen then. He’s fast and does more suturing!”

Tian Xianglan pondered briefly, “Let’s use up these 20 first. It looks like there aren’t many people left, and we’ll deal with it if there aren’t enough.”

About an hour later!

After Chen Cang had used up all the suture packs, that same system notification sounded again!

[Ding! Task Scroll Mission completed! Sutures completed 50/50, Reward received: 1.3 Skill Points, 2.300 Experience Points, 3. RMB +500.]

Chen Cang was startled, completed?

He turned to ask Li Jia, “How many sutures are done in total now?”

Li Jia looked at the information registered on the computer, “65.”

Chen Cang asked, “How many patients left?”

Li Jia checked the information on the computer, “Three.”

Chen Cang uttered an “Oh,” and said, “I’m going to the restroom, you’ve worked hard, go get some rest early.”

As he stood up, Chen Cang suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, nearly falling to the ground.

Bending over for suturing had left his waist feeling numb and as if it weren’t his own. It was too uncomfortable, and it took a considerable effort to regain the sensation.

At that moment, there were hardly any patients left outside.

Chen Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief. After using the restroom, he felt much more refreshed.

Just then, Li Baoshan came over and, seeing Chen Cang loitering, couldn’t help but scold him with a dark face, “Are you done? There’s still time to loiter around.”

Chen Cang was taken aback and turned to see Li Baoshan, “Director? Oh, we’ve run out of suture packs over there. There were only two or three patients left, my back was sore, so I was just stretching a bit.”

Li Baoshan glared at Chen Cang, “Even Qin Yue, a young lady, doesn’t complain of fatigue. You’re a young man, aren’t you ashamed!”

Chen Cang just sheepishly smiled without any explanation.

When Tian Xianglan saw Li Baoshan approaching, she went over, “Director, we’ve almost finished with the trauma suturing.”

Li Baoshan was surprised, “That quickly? How many people sutured?”

Tian Xianglan replied, “Just Chen Cang, Qin Yue, and Wang Qian, three of them.”

Li Baoshan couldn’t help but frown at Chen Cang again, “Xiao Chen, you’ve got to learn from Qin Yue. She is so dedicated even though she is a young lady. In the ER, you need to look after the female comrades.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Xianglan defended Chen Cang, “Director, you’re blaming Xiao Chen unjustly. Xiao Chen alone sutured 65 patients, and there were a total of 103. He sutured more patients by himself than Wang Qian and Qin Yue did together!”

After hearing this, Li Baoshan’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief, but…a leader is a leader, quick to adapt! His expression changed, “Fast? Is fast enough? Is medical work about speed? You must also be thorough!”

Li Jia, standing by, felt somewhat indignant for Chen Cang and defended him, “Director, you are misjudging Dr. Chen. His sutures are very well done. I…I saw it with my own eyes.”

Li Baoshan was immediately at a loss for words.

Tian Xianglan asked, “Director, what brings you here?”

Li Baoshan informed her, “I’m going to check on the internal medicine department in the ER. There are said to be over a dozen poisoning cases, some mild, some severe. We need to get in touch with the dialysis room, and the serious ones will need dialysis!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang’s eyes lit up, “Director, I’ll go with you to see if I can be of any help.”

Li Baoshan nodded, his gaze softening a bit as he looked at Chen Cang.
