Chapter 873: Actions Speak Louder Than Words
During this period, Chen Cang withdrew into himself!
He returned to clinical practice, seriously performing surgeries, understanding the patients' conditions, and interacting with them.
He listened to the voices of children.
He felt their happiness.
He observed their smiles.
At this time, he was happier than at any other.
Happier than when he became the vice president of the cardiac surgery department.
Ultimately, stripped of all titles and identities, he was just a doctor.
The preparations for the Non-stop Heartbeat Medical Research Center were underway, with the submission of materials in March, all handled by Xu Ziming, selection beginning in April, and results due in May.
Then, construction of the Non-stop Heartbeat Medical Research Center was expected to begin.
Chen Cang attended the biennial conference on Saturday and Sunday, not on the scene, but in the operating room, participating in a special capacity.
Chen Cang was to live-stream a surgery!
A mitral valve replacement under continuous heartbeat.
At this moment, countless media were focused on this scene, where instead of the usual directors, new talents like Zhao Jie and another attending physician were assisting.
Since Xu Ziming and his team had gradually trained up, Chen Cang had started letting them perform surgeries.
He also took the time to guide and teach the newcomers.
Today, staff from the Lilac Community were also present, considering the previous surgery had caught the attention of many.
This moment's surgery drew a lot of attention!
Due to the publicity and the participation of some specialized foreign media and professionals.
Including Alvin Mond from Elderly Hospital in New York and Dr. Rehn from Cleveland Medical Center, along with other foreign cardiac surgery professors.
The biennial conference had massive publicity, and most importantly, guidelines for the mitral valve replacement under continuous heartbeat were to be announced.
Wu Tongpu, standing at the front of the venue, holding the microphone, said, "Perhaps everyone was shocked by a video online recently, and honestly, my initial reaction was same as yours."
"There were many doubts raised online, but what I am here to tell you is that all of it is real!"
"Our non-stop heartbeat technique has been gradually perfected, we have formed guidelines for the mitral valve replacement, and already about fifteen chief cardiac surgeons have mastered this operation!"
"And next, we will establish the Non-stop Heartbeat Medical Research Center to further perfect this technique!"
"Next, Chen Cang will personally demonstrate the mitral valve replacement under a non-stop heartbeat, please look at the big screen!"
The focus switched to the pre-surgery preparations in the operating room, and along the side, Chen Cang's personal introduction appeared!
"I believe everyone is curious about who is performing the surgery! So, please look at the big screen!"
"Chen Cang: 28 years old, Master's graduate, 2019 cardiac surgery skills competition champion, creator of the guidelines for mitral valve replacement under non-stop heartbeat!"
When the crowd saw the big screen, they were instantly shocked!
After all, Chen Cang was very young, only 28!
However, those who were familiar with last year's competition suddenly realized, and began whispering among themselves,
"It's him!"
"The one who scored full marks!"
"No wonder!"
"He really is a prodigy…"
Meanwhile, below stage, many acquaintances were present, Tao Zi excitedly pointed at the big screen, saying to the person next to him, "This is our hospital's! I've taught him how to perform pericardial surgery..."
Xia Gaofeng, Yang Jianshu, and others felt quite sentimental!
They had witnessed this young man's journey step by step to where he was today.
They had thought this young man merely had unlimited potential, but unexpectedly... in just a few short months, he had grown to this extent.
Truly making everyone a bit awestruck and emotional!
Compared to them, Qin Yueming was smiling.
Now that Chen Cang had returned to the provincial hospital, who dared say he wasn't fit to be a director?
Countless hospitals across the country were waiting to snatch him up!
The surgery began, the patient's condition was fairly stable, but Chen Cang's operation did not become ostentatious; instead, he proceeded step by step, firmly and thoroughly, with great precision!
He made precise incisions!
Carefully trimming the mitral valve leaflet, removing calcified tissue.
Trimming the artificial valve.
Stitching, implanting!
When Chen Cang began trimming the artificial valve, everyone focused on the time because, after all... this was one of the most controversial topics.
Yet...
When Chen Cang finished...
Everyone was shocked to find out that Chen Cang's artificial valve time... was only 50 seconds!
At that moment, everyone fell silent!
When the video was streamed live on the Dianxiang Garden Community,
"Wow, 50 seconds... the master has improved again!"
"Really amazing, and he's only 28 years old..."
"Rehn is here too, are the Americans present? Your dad is here!"
"Look at Rehn's expression!"
"Awesome, Chen Cang is awesome!"
Indeed, at that moment, Rehn's expression was shockingly incredulous, his mouth agape, slow to close.
No one else was faring much better.
At that moment, the Americans suddenly vanished because when facts presented themselves, they carried more persuasive power than anything else.
Doubts?
Your idol is wholeheartedly convinced, what doubts could you have!
After the surgery concluded and the patient was taken away, Chen Cang also removed his mask and hat, speaking to the camera:
"Medical care knows no borders, and neither does surgery. We will be setting up the Non-stop Heartbeat Medical Research Center, where interested friends are welcome to come and learn."
"Whether from China or other countries, we welcome your participation."
After Chen Cang finished, he nodded and smiled.
Instantly, everyone present began to applaud,
Including Rehn and Alvin, who genuinely applauded Chen Cang.
For Chen Cang's final statement, he first said it in Chinese, then repeated it in English.
This was respect!
Chen Cang understood clearly—exchange was always a means of progress, and indeed... medical care truly knows no borders!
The applause lasted for a long time.
Before long, Chen Cang's video was disconnected.
Everyone still hadn't calmed down.
Medical care knows no borders!
This statement displayed our national grandeur and highlighted our responsibility as a great nation!
When Chen Cang welcomed doctors worldwide to our country for learning, everyone's heart trembled at that moment, filled with excitement.
Because we have grown stronger!
Foreigners also came to learn in our country.
Every director's face was filled with excitement and pride.
Even Meng Xi sat amidst the crowd, his heart still unsettled; this young man had truly grown up!
Someone recognized him: "Hey? Director Meng, isn't Chen Cang your student?"
Meng Xi smiled and nodded, saying: "Actually, we learn from each other."
The people around nodded: "Chen Cang is really incredible!"
...
...
Following this, Wu Tongpu began organizing people for an election.
The voting concluded!
The director of the cardiac surgery at Xiehe Hospital, Wang Tong, officially assumed the role of the president of the Cardiac Surgery Association.
Chen Cang was extraordinarily nominated as the vice president and the chief commissioner of the Cardiac Surgery Association.
Even though Chen Cang did not attend, campaign, or even give a speech, and was merely nominated by Wu Tongpu,
everyone's vote was heartfelt.
Because he deserved respect!
He also had the capacity to lead cardiac surgery forward!
