When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Ford's brows instantly lifted with joy upon hearing Chen Cang's words!

He had been longing to collaborate with Chen Cang on a pancreatic surgery, and now the opportunity had finally come.

But… he never imagined that you, Professor Jim Lawrence, would start buzzing in like this?

In a flash, Ford was fuming with anger, his mustache quivering and eyes bulging, as his impression of him plummeted…

Chen Cang couldn't help but glance at Jim Lawrence's favorability, fearing the man might cause him trouble at a critical moment.

[Jim Lawrence, Favorability: 1.]

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!

At least it wasn't negative, which meant at worst, he was not liked, but not hated either; and perhaps… there was even a tiny bit of favorability?

Chen Cang felt relieved.

Jim Lawrence was also eyeing that pancreas eagerly, his hands itching for a long time.

He passed the gauze in his hand to Ford and started pondering carefully about the pancreas.

However, after his third eye contact with the pancreas... Jim fell silent!

It was at that moment!

Jim suddenly came to a realization.

He looked up at Chen Cang, and he seemed to smell a plot brewing.

This pancreas is one of the trickiest parts, and you're letting me take the lead on this? Are you setting me up?

And I... even jumped in!

Jim Lawrence was nearly brought to tears by his own series of brainless actions.

How could I be so stupid?

He felt he had fallen for Chen Cang's trap again.

Why use "again"!

[Ding! Jim Lawrence Favorability -1!]

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned.

What the hell... what's going on here?

I didn't say anything, is this what you call being shot while lying down?

Chen Cang immediately turned to look at Jim Lawrence, "Professor Jim, is there a problem?"

Jim, grinding his teeth in irritation, asked, "Dr. Chen, how do you plan to separate this pancreas?"

Chen Cang looked at Jim Lawrence and was momentarily taken aback, had he actually caught on?

Looking at his silly, endearing manner, Chen Cang symbolically raised his favorability towards him.

Jim Lawrence, looking into Chen Cang's clear and honest eyes, was also taken aback, his gaze softening. Had he... misunderstood Chen Cang?

At this moment, the image of the pancreas appeared in the view of everyone in the exhibit hall:

The encased pancreatic head, the exposed and fused pancreatic ducts, seemed to tell you everywhere: I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable pancreatic head, but... very solid!

This was the most difficult part of the surgery, establishing a better digestive tract for the pancreas was actually very important for both youngsters.

At this time, Chen Cang sighed and shook his head,

"Professor Jim, if the external pancreatic duct is fused together, it's going to be difficult to separate."

"But, I've read one of Professor Jim's papers where you hypothesize about how to extend the pancreatic duct, performing extension surgery on the main pancreatic duct inside the pancreatic head. Exactly where we are cutting at the junction of the pancreatic head, just below it might be the main pancreatic ducts of the two pancreases!

The reason they are encased is also because they gradually fused after coming out. I am thinking that after separation, we do a pancreas anastomosis, wrap the gland with the external membrane of the pancreas, and then separate out the pancreatic duct."

"Isn't this… the idea from one of Professor Jim's papers?"

Upon reaching this point, Chen Cang couldn't help but sigh, looking at Jim with some disappointment in his eyes, which seemed to convey: You are not the Jim Lawrence I once knew.

You've let me down too much!

At that very moment, Jim Lawrence suddenly froze!

He... he suddenly felt a sense of betrayal...

Chen Cang had never looked down on him!

He had never deceived him.

He had even read all his papers, he... trusted him so much.

Feeling overwhelmed with shame, Jim Lawrence realized he had misunderstood Chen Cang.

When he looked into Chen Cang's eyes again, he understood that this person before him was a respectful adversary, whether in failure or success, someone who truly understood his own worth!

Jim Lawrence quickly regained his composure and gave Chen Cang a firm look!

And so, Chen Cang and Lawrence exchanged such "meaningful glances" back and forth four or five times, leaving everyone around the operating table dumbfounded...

Not only them, but the audience onsite was also staring at the two men blankly, sensing an indescribable atmosphere.

Before long!

After carefully observing for a while, Jim Lawrence nodded and said, "Dr. Chen Cang's idea is indeed feasible!"

"Professor Hubert, you see, the two sections of the pancreatic head adhering together actually contain internal pancreatic ducts. If we can separate the pancreatic head without damaging the internal ducts...

Using pancreatic duct dissection and extension is feasible!"

Ford also nodded in agreement, and it was undeniable that Jim Lawrence, the leader of the pancreatic fistula team, was no joke.

Seeing unanimous consensus among the three, Hubert turned to Jim Lawrence and earnestly requested, "Please, Professor Jim."

Upon hearing this, Jim Lawrence gave an awkward smile: "My paper was merely a hypothesis at the time, I've never actually executed it... so, I'm not sure either."

"Chen will have to work hard!" Jim said to Chen Cang with an awkward smile.

Chen Cang didn't bother with pleasantries; he took up the scalpel and stared at the two segments of the pancreatic head, having to carefully separate them.

The pancreatic ducts are divided into the main pancreatic duct and accessory pancreatic ducts, with the latter's purpose being to collect the pancreatic juices secreted by the pancreas into the main pancreatic duct, similar to the smaller branches on a tree.

Chen Cang took a deep breath; he was also uncertain about this job, as the pancreatic ducts were different from blood vessels, and he was not very familiar with them.

If he were to cut incorrectly...

At that thought, he immediately began to [focus]!

His eyes locked onto the pancreas, his scalpel lightly traced along the head of the pancreas; pancreatic tissue is soft, different from the liver, increasing the difficulty of the surgery.

But Chen Cang's scalpel was very sharp.

Bit by bit...

Carefully separating, both parts of the pancreatic head needing isolation and ensuring no damage to the important pancreatic ducts.

Once again, everyone placed their hope in Chen Cang, and at that moment, Jim Lawrence was not idle either; he was also very knowledgeable about the pancreas.

To be honest, he was excited too!

After all, seeing his hypothesis on the verge of becoming reality, even if he was not the one performing the procedure, Jim Lawrence still felt joyful.

Putting everything aside, Jim Lawrence was also a top-tier pancreatic surgeon, having proposed many innovative ideas for the pancreas.

Because of his own skill level, many surgical hypotheses were good but hard to achieve.

Thus, he began to explore surgical robots, and after partnering with ISI company, he indeed made significant progress.

Watching Chen Cang's surgery, Jim Lawrence couldn't help but admire that such hands could not only perform pancreatic surgeries but could also become top-notch neurosurgeons!

Neurosurgery is famously delicate, requiring practice, hands must be steady enough to use a drill to remove an eggshell without harming the thin membrane below it.

Precision, steadiness!

And Chen Cang's hands were more than sufficient for all of it!
