When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Perfect Level!

Just as Chen Cang reached the door, he suddenly heard the system’s notification sound!

“Ding! Congratulations, the rescue was successful, suturing the ‘Damaged Esophagus Monster’, ‘Damaged Vascular Monster’, ‘Damaged Trachea Monster’, reward calculation: 1. Pericardial surgery skill pack; 2. Perfect ECG interpretation.”

A flash of golden light whisked by, almost blinding Chen Cang!

In an instant, Chen Cang was startled.

He had been so engrossed in the rescue that he hadn’t even thought about the task rewards.

Now that the patient was saved, it was time to collect the rewards.

Chen Cang noticed a problem: the system had learned to be lazy, whereas before it would give individual rewards for each monster, now it gave a big reward all at once.

It must have treated the patient’s overall illness as a single instance, finally beginning the settlement.

But clearly, this was a good thing. While the types and quantities of items he received were much fewer, the quality of the items and skills was completely different, greatly increasing the chances of getting better items.

Just like the present golden light, which meant a perfect-level skill!

At this thought, Chen Cang felt a secret thrill.

He opened the virtual screen and saw two items in the inventory, one purple and one gold.

Chen Cang reached for the golden one first.

“ECG Clinical Interpretation: Perfect level!”

Chen Cang felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, this was a great item.

An ECG could reveal so many subtle things, Chen Cang even believed it was the best invention in the history of cardiology development, its emergence significantly advanced the prevention and treatment of heart disease in humans.

Moreover, an ECG only cost about twenty dollars, affordable and informative, capable of showing many important clues.

Chen Cang, being a surgeon, had a very ordinary understanding of ECGs… well, he could recognize just a few common waveforms.

Things like ST elevation myocardial infarction with a bow-back pattern or ST segment depression due to myocardial ischemia… If using a medical exam teacher’s words, pointed at both ends was the pulmonary pattern…

And now he had acquired a perfect-level skill.

Unable to contain his joy, Chen Cang immediately chose to learn!

ECG interpretation, as a fundamental clinical skill, was really essential. An invisible burst of light passed, countless ECG images flickered through Chen Cang’s mind, each patient coming with an ECG, different stages, different waveforms…

The second item piqued Chen Cang’s curiosity, what was a pericardial surgery skill pack?

“Ding! Pericardial surgery skill pack, you can choose to acquire any type of pericardial surgery and directly elevate it to master level.”

Perhaps many people know about the heart but not the pericardium.

The pericardium is actually the heart’s ‘clothing’!

It’s a thin membrane that wraps around the heart, and between the pericardium and heart wall there is serous fluid, which serves to lubricate the myocardium, allowing the heart to move without friction against the chest cavity and causing damage.

Many times, diseases of the pericardium are also very dangerous and can be life-threatening!

Acquiring such a surgical skill was quite good for Chen Cang from the emergency department.

And… the most, most important thing was, pericardial surgery is not only cardiac surgery but can also be categorized as thoracic surgery.

Chen Cang felt that his thoracic professional skill score could now be increased a bit.

With two skills acquired, Chen Cang was truly satisfied, feeling not the least bit tired today!

But then, good things come in pairs.

“Ding! For actively organizing rescue efforts and successfully saving the life of a critical patient, you have passed the medical ethics and compassion test, gaining +3 skill points.”

Chen Cang stroked his fingers, and smiled slightly.

Others get stronger by paying money.

He, on the other hand, gets stronger by saving people.

…

…

Back at Yueyang Villa, soaking in the hot spring and eating the lamb leg his mother acquired, Chen Cang wondered what could be happier than this moment?

That evening, due to the National Day celebration, Yueyang Villa had various performances. There were dances by ethnic minorities full of style, a bonfire party organized in the neighboring orchard, various movies screening at the cinema, and the swimming pool was open 24 hours.

A three-day pass granted the Chen family of four an unprecedented surprise.

After the party ended, when the gift was handed to him, Chen Cang realized that this VIP ticket seemed different from others.

Chen Cang casually asked a waiter, “Hello, what’s the difference between this pass and the regular ones?”

The waiter smiled slightly, “Hello, this is a first-class pass, we don’t issue many of these.”

It was then that Chen Cang came to his senses!

A first-class pass to Yueyang Villa, what kind of pharmaceutical company would give something like this?

They must be rolling in it!

Only then did Chen Cang realize why their hotel rooms were suites and why they had whole roasted lambs for dinner… Such treatment was far from ordinary.

For a moment, Chen Cang thought of Chen Dahai’s face and couldn’t help but smile.

Chen Dahai had always been pretty good to him.

The next day, they didn’t go to see the house; after a day of rest, the family prepared to head home.

Chen Dahai was ready to brag about their experiences, feeling almost uncomfortable from the anticipation.

Yang Jiahui repeatedly lectured him and insisted on leaving behind the 150,000 yuan. After much persuasion from Chen Cang, who nearly had to show a proof of assets, they barely managed to give it back.

After much thought, Yang Jiahui took out another 10,000 yuan and handed it to Chen Luo.

“Second brother, study hard and do your best. Your dad and I haven’t seen much of the world. You’re grown up now and understand more than us. I won’t nag you anymore. If you need anything, call us; don’t be as stubborn as your dad.”

“If something comes up, ask your elder brother for help. Eldest, help Chen Luo with whatever you can. You’re his brother, it’s your responsibility to be warm-hearted…”

Yang Jiahui was better at educating than Chen Dahai, who was just stubborn and not very expressive. Since they were young, their entire homework was tutored by Yang Jiahui, who only had a middle school education.

After repeating her advice several times, the two boarded the train home.

That evening, the brothers drank freely, Chen Cang getting somewhat dizzy and Chen Luo starting to talk nonsense!

“Bro, rest assured, your little brother is no coward; I’ll definitely keep my promises and buy you a big house in the future.”

“And for mom and dad, I’ll definitely make something of myself.”

…

Chen Luo was sick multiple times that night and didn’t get up until almost noon the next day. After a quick meal, he went back to school.

Chen Cang also needed to prepare to meet his mentor Meng Xi after the National Day holiday was over.

The National Day holiday was finally coming to an end.

After the start of the semester at Dongyang Medical University, postgraduates would have a month of intensive courses. Chen Cang had listened to a few classes but skipped most of them.

However, after the National Day, all postgraduates would begin their standardized medical training program, of course, Chen Cang was the exception.

Chen Cang’s training hospital was the Provincial Second Hospital, his home base. He just needed to make a call to the training center and he could continue to stay in the department.

But the only thing different from before was that he might need to follow his mentor’s instructions.

This meant learning under the guidance of his mentor, perhaps one or two days a week, so Chen Cang had to make an effort to schedule his time properly.

Working with Director Meng Xi was a big deal, and triggering a hidden profession wasn’t something that could be taken lightly, with a heap of enviable purple skills on the line.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but be curious, how could he increase Director Meng’s favorability?

Pulling out his phone to search, Chen Cang’s eyes lit up as a long list of books appeared on the search page, forcing him to acknowledge the immense power of Internet users:

“How to Please a Wealthy Lady,” “A Guide to Conquering Rich Ladies”…
