When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Teacher Meng won’t hit me, right?

The area around the homeless man had already erupted into excitement, with a large crowd gathered, taking photos.

Some with a strong sense of gossip even went up to ask, “Hey? Did he fix it for you?”

“Right, right, right, are you okay now?”

…

Facing a barrage of questions, the homeless man suddenly became disoriented, having never seen such a spectacle before, for on a regular day, everyone steered clear of him.

What followed was an unintelligible jumble of “hmm” and “ah” as he gesticulated wildly before hurrying to his feet and leaving.

Dragging his belongings with a clattering sound, he headed off into the distance.

He left the crowd with astonished faces!

“Really fixed?”

“Definitely! Didn’t you see his hand can now move?”

“That miraculous?!”

“Did anyone get a clear shot of that just now?”

…

A group of people engaged in animated discussion, full of surprise, because to them, this seemed utterly implausible – when anyone broke a bone and went to the hospital, wasn’t it standard procedure to take X-rays, perform examinations, and finally undergo surgery…?

Basically, it went like this:

X-ray!

Surgery!

Stitches!

Splints!

Nails!

Whereas the young man from just now, with a few quick maneuvers, was all fixed up. Was he some kind of martial arts master?

Everyone was somewhat perplexed!

…

…

After returning to the emergency hall, Qin Yue looked at Chen Cang with a sense of amazement and asked, “You… just now… what was that?”

Chang Lina was visibly excited, having seen Chen Cang fix the other person up just like that, she was genuinely shocked!

“Xiao Chen… no! Hero Chen? Was that a secret martial arts technique just now?”

Indeed!

In Chang Lina’s view, the technique Chen Cang had just performed surpassed his medical knowledge. He’d only ever seen such things on TV, and those were martial arts dramas where a supporting character got injured, broke an arm, and then the hero would fix it up swiftly and vigorously!

Chen Cang rolled his eyes – what was she even talking about?

“That was manual reduction. A common technique in orthopedics.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“I had thought about bringing him in for an X-ray to see if there was a fracture, but the man was just not willing to come inside. Left with no choice, I just performed the reduction for him. Luckily, it was just a joint dislocation and didn’t need a plaster cast to immobilize it.”

“It’s not as mystical as you’re making it out to be!” Chen Cang said, watching Chang Lina, he couldn’t help but smile.

Chang Lina was taken aback, “Manual reduction? That’s like the stuff they do on TV, right? Who does manual reductions these days? I’ve never seen it.”

As she spoke, Chang Lina was determined to have Chen Cang explain it properly to her.

Qin Yue struck Chang Lina on the head with a flick, adopting an air of someone with experience and said, “Read more if you’re uneducated, stop babbling and embarrassing yourself!”

Chang Lina touched her head, feeling aggrieved, “Ah, there goes my dream of martial arts again!”

…

…

After Chen Cang and Qin Yue tidied up, they left through the main entrance.

Just out of the hospital, Qin Yue’s eyes widened with curiosity, and she asked, “Chen Cang, since when did you know how to perform manual reductions?”

Chang Lina might not understand manual reduction, but Qin Yue did!

You see, Qin Yue’s mentor, Shi Na, was in orthopedics, and Qin Yue was no stranger to the discipline. Manual reduction was not only difficult to learn but also rarely practiced by anyone nowadays.

Surgery offered both income and security, so why not stick to it, right?

Furthermore, manual reduction came with its own risks; if not successful, it could lead to secondary injuries to the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissues, potentially worsening the condition.

As a medical procedure, no one wishes to see it except when necessary.

However, the skill of manual reduction requires constant practice and improvement in order to master the technique, and Wang Xiangjun was able to achieve this only through thousands of patients; he’s a veteran who once participated in earthquake relief efforts.

So gradually, the number of people who can perform this manual reduction technique may become fewer and fewer!

Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with a curious and admiring face, his vanity swelling to the point of bursting—he was feeling quite delighted.

Having a young girl admire you felt so great.

Chen Cang smiled and said, “During my internship, there was a doctor in the department who I followed for a while. He could handle simple issues, and later I read some books, explored a bit…”

“Today just happened to come across one, and using it, the effect was really good.”

Qin Yue was extremely satisfied on the inside—when Chen Cang was awesome, she was happy.

“Awesome!”

“So strong!”

“You’re so great!”

Chen Cang couldn’t help coughing, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the excessive praise—it was a bit nauseating.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the newly opened lamb spine hot pot restaurant.

[Ding! Medical Compassion mission completed, reward: Partial Human Anatomy Detailed Explanation, note, you can randomly select a human bodily system to learn, such as the digestive system, blood circulation system, respiratory system, etc. When the class is over, you will master it proficiently.]

Upon seeing the system prompt, Chen Cang was immediately delighted!

This was something great!

The first reaction that came to Chen Cang’s mind was the nervous system!

As the most tormenting and intellectually demanding field, the nervous system was undeniably so!

Chen Cang had been tormented by neurology countless times to the point of falling asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Could it be that he was about to conquer it now?

But… after conquering it, Chen Cang wouldn’t need it for a while—that was the key.

Thinking this over, Chen Cang calmed down a bit, and after a thorough analysis, suddenly thought of another system second only to the nervous system: the “blood circulation system.”

This might be what he needed most at present, right?

Thinking of the major vascular surgery in a few months, Chen Cang, after much consideration, decided to choose the blood circulation system.

Actually, they were all quite useful…

Chen Cang looked at each system with envy.

However, he could only choose the one most suitable for himself.

[Select Blood Circulation System!]

…

Qin Yue, noticing Chen Cang lost in thought, asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Are you not hungry?”

Chen Cang shook his head with a smile, “Nope!”

Qin Yue said “Oh,” and added, “I thought you weren’t hungry. If you’re not, give me that bone. Don’t waste it!”

Chen Cang was speechless: “…”

What’s it like having a foodie girlfriend?

Chen Cang was helpless!

Looking at Qin Yue, he sighed. You’re not a little fawn anymore; you’re a little wolf pup!

During the meal, Qin Yue suddenly got excited, “Chen Cang, which vertebra is this?”

Chen Cang rolled his eyes speechlessly, “Do you think this is a person? I’m not about to study the vertebrae of a sheep!”

Qin Yue’s eyes sparkled, and she returned to her adoring Xiao Qin persona, and said with admiration, “Shouldn’t you know everything?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang’s vanity surged again, and he almost couldn’t resist asking the system if he could regret his choice, not choosing the blood circulation system but choosing the skeletal system of a sheep instead!

Not for anything else, just so that he could show off the next time he ate lamb spine!

Ah!

Chen Cang sighed—they say beauty brings trouble!

Ah… such sin!

Suddenly, Chen Cang remembered… tonight, it seemed… Teacher Meng wasn’t resting, oh no…
