When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 62: When water comes, soil covers!

Chen Cang returned home, tidied up his things, and prepared to rest early.

Suddenly, he received a system notification:

[Ding! Given the substantial amount of recent task rewards, to make your source of funds more transparent and avoid unnecessary trouble, the system will provide financial management services for you. Future rewards obtained from tasks will be supplied through financial management services.]

Upon hearing this news, Chen Gang’s first reaction was happiness!

After all, those rewards of a few dozen yuan he initially received could be obtained through lotteries and the like.

But if the amount gets larger later on, it couldn’t possibly be prizes all the time, could it?

What if I win every day and bankrupt Old Ma?

Even if I don’t bankrupt him… it’s still very uncomfortable to have someone

investigate you every day.

Therefore, he was quite satisfied with this move from the system, as it eliminated future worries and made the source of funds more legitimate, ensuring a worry-free, comfortable life!

Chen Cang coughed, feeling like he sounded a bit like an advertisement.

After Chen Cang clicked [Agree!] he found that his cellphone rang.

It was a text message alert:

“Dear customer 186***1132, your account with China Construction Bank

ending in 0936 has been successfully opened…”

Account opened successfully?

The situation became even more mysterious after, as Chen Cang found that a new app had suddenly appeared on his phone.

“Tonghuashun”

But currently, he didn’t own any stocks.

The system helping me to trade stocks?

Sounds good!

Lying in bed tossing and turning unable to sleep, he decided to pick up a book titled “Neuroanatomy” to read, and about three minutes later, fell into a

peaceful sleep.

Compared to English books, this “Neuroanatomy” is definitely a blessing for the insomniac medical workers; Chen Cang had been watching it for three years.

The only downside is that the book is too thick, and it hurts a bit when it falls on your face.

The night passed without incident, and the next morning, Chen Cang got up early as usual, got ready, and went to the hospital.

After a heavy rain last night, the weather was refreshingly clear.

Just as he entered the hospital, the system notification sounded:

[Ding! Daily task (complete tasks for ten consecutive days to receive a special daily task): Independently complete five appendectomies. Task completion reward: Advanced Medical English Skills.]

Chen Cang was taken aback!

There’s this rule too?

It seems that these daily tasks are like sign-in bonuses, with even special tasks available.

However… this daily task is indeed a bit challenging.

Independently complete five appendectomy surgeries, where would he find so many patients?

But upon seeing the reward, Chen Cang was truly envious.

Advanced English skills!

Chen Gang’s English was passable, at about level six, but since much of modern medicine has been introduced from abroad, a superior command of medical English is really beneficial for his future development and progress.

Although Director Li Baoshan was over fifty, his fluent English provided him the chance to attend many international conferences.

How could I complete the task?

Having encountered such a task, Chen Cang really wanted to complete it.

There was a competition tomorrow, and Chen Cang wasn’t too worried about it; today, the director had asked him to follow and participate in several surgeries, which was something Chen Cang aspired to do.

Following a provincial medical expert, there is, no, a one percent chance of picking up a skill.

Soon the time for the shift change came, and when Li Baoshan entered the office he seemed noticeably displeased, pulling a long face, he finished the handover and then said:

“I need to say something.”

Suddenly, everyone exchanged glances. Who had managed to offend our

Director Li?

Li Baoshan stood there, his mood visibly low, his voice carrying a hint of anger, “This morning I received news that around ten o’clock, the hospital records department and the medical insurance department are going to inspect the emergency department.”

“Everyone with patients who underwent appendectomies, cholecystectomies, and other surgeries like that needs to transfer them to the general surgery department. Otherwise, the medical insurance will be checking. I’ll send down the list in a moment, see if you have any such patients on hand.

The main function of the emergency department is to transfer patients, completing the first pre-hospital step by moving patients who need it to different departments.

So, upon hearing this, people underneath immediately displayed their displeasure, especially Shi Na, who had many such patients under her care.

As a comprehensive department, the emergency room can handle both serious and minor illnesses, and emergency doctors often treat the emergency department as a regular ward, frequently admitting minor surgeries to increase their income.

These minor surgeries are basically something that everyone can do and are traditionally not heavily regulated.

But now with the medical insurance and records department coming to inspect, it was clear they were looking to stir up trouble!

Shi Na was instantly unhappy, “Director, we’ve been doing this all along, so why are they suddenly checking? I have four or five patients under me scheduled for surgery today. Transferring them now will add to the patients’ burden, and bring a lot of trouble, too.”

Li Baoshan was also not in good spirits; how could he not be aware of who was stirring the pot?

The emergency doctors already don’t earn much, relying on these minor surgeries to make extra money. You, general surgery, with your big business and bigger operation, still have the nerve to covet the minor surgeries of the emergency department, how shameful!

And there was Zhang Youfu; the man truly lacked ambition, resorting to such actions for the sake of a junior doctor.

Thinking of this, Li Baoshan was fuming, “This is a sudden inspection by the hospital, just for these couple of days. After this blows over, everything will go back to usual. Everyone prepare properly and don’t let the medical insurance find reasons to dock our pay.”

At this, Chen Cang completely understood!

This was a strike against him!

Who was aiming at the emergency department?

Even with his capabilities, Zhang Youfu wouldn’t dare to directly target the emergency department, right?

If he transferred his patients now, he would have no surgeries to practice on. Once the competition was over and the patients discharged, the next batch of patients wouldn’t matter.

It was obvious they were trying to prevent him from practicing properly!

On the one hand, this wouldn’t long-term harm the interests of the emergency doctors, and on the other hand, it achieved their goals. Why wouldn’t they do it?

With this in mind, Chen Cang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

I’m afraid your calculations are wrong, and your plans will come to nothing!

This time, I’ll show you what it means to be a cut above the rest!

After leaving the office, Li Baoshan went back to his desk and picked up the phone to make a call.

“Hello? Director Yang, this is Li Baoshan. Do you have any appendix surgeries today?”

“Oh! No, no problem, just… ”

Li Baoshan was always a man of his word; he had promised to take Chen Cang to practice and provide guidance, and he intended to keep that promise.

But he hadn’t expected Zhang Youfu to cause such a problem over a student, resulting in the loss of surgeries in his own department.

If there were none left, then he would have to look elsewhere!

With this thought, he picked up his mobile phone and made several calls in succession, reaching out to hospitals where he frequently performed emergency surgeries.

After a long search, he finally found one not far from the provincial capital, just an hour and a half’s drive away.

He called Chen Cang into the office.

“Pack up, you’re going with me on a quick surgical visit. There are a few appendix surgeries that will be a good learning opportunity for you.”

Chen Cang was taken aback, how could he not understand the situation, “Director, there’s no need to trouble yourself, I feel my skills in appendix surgery are already competent. You don’t have to go to such lengths…

Honestly, Chen Cang was deeply grateful for Li Baoshan’s actions. For a director to follow through on his word was indeed commendable.

Hearing Chen Gang’s response, Li Baoshan felt a bit reassured, glad that the young man understood his intentions and appreciated the effort he was making.

But still with a stern face, he said, “Nonsense, when is surgery ever just okay? Any kind of surgery requires relentless practice to improve! Hurry up, we leave in ten minutes. I’m going to speak with Old Chen and let him know.”

Chen Cang took a deep breath, looking at Li Baoshan with a surge of happiness. Not only did he have a chance to complete his task, but more importantly… he had found himself a good leader!
