Chapter no: A Question of Title, But It Doesn’t Matter.
After the morning shift handover, Li Baoshan looked at everyone and said slowly, “Everyone has been doing a great job recently. Our emergency department has received quite a few silk banners and thank-you letters, all thanks to your hard work!”
“I want to particularly commend Chen Cang here. He has received high praise from patients, and everyone should learn from him!”
After he finished speaking, Li Baoshan asked thoughtfully, “Chen Cang, how did you manage to get patients to bring silk banners? Bingsheng is performing the same gallbladder removal surgeries, so why hasn’t he received any?”
Upon hearing this, Old Chen’s face turned dark. You praise Chen Cang just praise him, why drag me into it?
Before Chen Cang had a chance to answer, the head nurse, Tian Xianglan, said with a smile:
“You guys might not have heard yet, but Dr. Chen Cang has developed a cosmetic laparoscopic surgery that’s very well received by patients. Nowadays, when I make the rounds with the nurses every day, the patients all praise Chen Cang!”
With these words, Li Baoshan and the other doctors were stunned!
What’s going on?
Cosmetic laparoscopic surgery?
You can do cosmetic surgery with a laparoscope?
Everyone was completely baffled!
Out of curiosity, Li Baoshan asked, “What is this cosmetic laparoscopic surgery? I haven’t heard of it before. Chen Cang, can you explain?”
Chen Cang said, “It was really an unintentional idea. During one surgery, it occurred to me that if laparoscopic surgery could reduce the size of the incision, then perhaps we could make the incision even less noticeable by changing the traditional incision and by using stitching techniques. I decided to give it a try and the results were pretty good!”
Shi Na, who was the first witness, said with a smile, “To be honest, I am the first witness. At that time, I thought Chen Gang’s idea was just fanciful, but I never imagined that this small change could be so effective.”
His words made Li Baoshan even more curious, “Really? May I take a look at the patients?”
Li Baoshan was about to get up when Qin Yue hurriedly said, “Director, there’s no need for you to go through the trouble. I have detailed photos and original data right here.”
After speaking, Qin Yue plugged in a USB drive and used a projector to display the contents.
As Qin Yue presented, she said, “I collected some original data after we started. It’s basically a comparative study of Chen Gang’s improved incision design against traditional laparoscopic wounds, including photos before and after surgery, post stitching, after recovery, as well as some scar photos… Plus, we did a detailed data analysis of the healing time. The results turned out to be surprisingly different from what we had expected.”
“Here are the comparison of photos before stitching… these are after stitching… these are after recovery…”
When the photos were displayed, everyone was dumbfounded!
Even Li Baoshan was astounded!
He never could have imagined that such a minor change would make the surgical wounds appear virtually non-invasive!
This was just too… too innovative!
In reality, research is nothing more than paying attention to the details of everyday life and starting to make changes from those details.
With each photo he viewed, Li Baoshan became more excited and amazed!
If this practice were to be adopted widely, it could become a distinctive feature of the department…
Li Baoshan asked, “And the recovery period?”
Qin Yue held up a chart, “For average patients, it takes about 5-7 days to recover, with an average time of around 6.1 days. However, with the improved surgical method, it only takes about 5.2 days. After statistical analysis, p
Upon hearing this, Li Baoshan drew in a breath of cold air.
Shortening the healing period and reducing scars through an improved surgical method, what an incredible idea!
In a moment of realization, Li Baoshan understood that this was a research topic of great value and significance, worthy of publication in high-quality academic papers.
Li Baoshan looked up and asked, “Qin Yue, what’s the progress of your research now?”
On hearing this, Qin Yue answered, “The paper has been completed and is now being revised.”
Li Baoshan’s eyes lit up, “Excellent! That’s a good initiative. Everyone should take note, improve and develop their research abilities proactively, and make sure to observe and consider details in clinical practice to do meaningful work!”
Li Baoshan continued to flip through the photos with the remote.
He noticed that there were four participants involved: Chen Cang, Chen Bingsheng, Qin Yue, Wang Yong…
These kids are really impressive!
And Old Chen!
The old blade is still sharp, able to keep up with the rhythm.
Li Baoshan felt greatly relieved inside.
He didn’t resent them for not including his name, that didn’t matter to him at this age. He already published who knows how many papers and led who knows how many projects; a small project like this was of little concern to him.
The key was seeing these young doctors possessing such research spirit and ability; that was what mattered most.
Then Chen Bingsheng suddenly asked curiously, “By the way, Qin Yue, why is my name on the ppt as well? I didn’t participate, did I?”
Qin Yue’s face turned red, “This… Teacher Chen, you actually did participate!”
Chen Bingsheng was stunned, “I participated? What?!”
Chen Cang nodded and said, “That’s right! Teacher Chen, you are the control group. Didn’t you notice the photos of the control group’s patients were yours?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Bingsheng was shocked!
What the heck!?
I was wondering why those patients looked so familiar. Why did the pair of hands being stitched up seem so recognizable?
It turns out it was me!
After realizing, Old Chen was even more bewildered!
You guys used me as the control group?
To compare with your own good work…
The key issue is you didn’t tell me the truth, keeping me in the dark!
That’s too much!
No wonder last week Qin Yue kept taking photos in my operating room…
So that’s how it is!
Everything became clear, and Old Chen had an epiphany!
But… why do I feel a bit aggrieved…
Seeing Old Chen’s reaction, Chen Cang couldn’t help but say, “Teacher Chen, I had Qin Yue talk to you about it.”
Qin Yue gave an awkward smile and explained shyly, “Teacher Chen, to ensure the validity of the experiment, we chose a double-blind study… cough cough, so I didn’t tell you.”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
The entire office was filled with joy!
The emergency department hadn’t been this happy for a long time.
Old Chen also laughed.
Indeed, just like what Qin Yue said, in a double-blind study, neither the researchers nor the patients know which group each patient is in or which group receives the experimental treatment. The advantage of this method is that it can prevent biases from the participants and researchers.
This research went very smoothly!
Suddenly inspired, Li Baoshan asked, “Xiao Chen, who else knows how to perform this technique right now?”
Wang Yong promptly stood up, “I know how to do it!”
Chen Cang nodded, “Right now, only Wang Yong and I know how to do it, but I can teach Teacher Chen. I estimate that with Teacher Chen’s capability, it won’t take many days to learn.”
Upon hearing this, Old Chen thought the remark sounded odd, as if it was not really a compliment.
As soon as Li Baoshan heard this, he made a decision right away!
“Great!”
“Bingsheng, spend the next few days with Xiao Chen and learn this technique well. Master it quickly and apply it to the clinic.”
“Qin Yue, you keep working on your research, striving to publish a great paper!”
“Head nurse, please make some effort to create a brochure, and focus on promoting the features and advantages of our non-invasive surgery. Let’s publicize it in the lobby on the first floor; we must highlight our emergency department’s specialty!”
“Also, Yuan Fan, Wang Yong, take some interns with you and organize a community health clinic. Conduct a special event for the prevention of gallbladder system diseases and take the opportunity to explain our specialty to the patients. When you go, Head nurse, you should make Qin Yue’s photos into a brochure.”
