When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1189 - 1193: Warm and Lovely Little Nurse Sisters

The emergency department definitely won't have fewer patients just because there are exams.

Patients won't delay getting sick just because you're taking an exam, either.

Resident Chen has really been busy these past two days, brushing up on questions and hitting the books every day!

Exams are nothing like surgeries!

At this moment, Chen Cang felt somewhat helpless. Why don't the wrong answers show up in red when he sees these multiple-choice questions?

Brushing up on questions is supposed to be fun.

It must be so!

He's told himself that answer over a hundred times internally, but why hasn't his brain defaulted to thinking that studying is enjoyable?

However, it's not without its drawbacks.

At least everyone in the emergency department is a teacher.

Every now and then, some high-and-mighty teacher comes over to pontificate.

"Professor Chen, you don't know this question either?"

"Professor Chen, this question is so simple."

"Professor Chen, sigh... Back when I took my attending exam... Oh! Sorry, I forgot, I'm a PhD, I didn't take the intermediate exam! I really envy you, having such a colorful life! Life, it's all about the experiences!"

"Teacher Chen, when I was going for my attending position, I really didn't review at all, seriously, I just looked at it the night before. I only scored 360 in the four subjects the next day, sigh, I heard there were perfect scores back then."

Chen Cang grits his teeth in anger, deciding that once he's done with his exam and back to performing surgeries, all these people are going to be writing case reports for a month!

He's going to hand all the patients requiring special care over to them, the kind that requires five progress notes a day!

Patients admitted to the clinic are classified by their conditions as: special care, first-class care, or second-class care.

Patients requiring second-class care are very stable, typically requiring a progress report every three days.

Patients requiring first-class care need regular observation and updates to their prescriptions and plans, so one progress report per day is needed.

But special care patients are a different story!

They're the ones whose treatment plans can change at any moment; their conditions are highly unstable, pretty much requiring a revision of the prescription and a new progress report every time you check on the room!

At this moment, old Ma sighs deeply as he walks into the ward and sits down next to Chen Cang, letting out a sigh at him!

"Sigh..."

Chen Cang remains unmoved!

He's long become accustomed to Ma's show-off tactic of deprecating before elevating. The most suitable way to deal with it is to ignore it completely!

Seeing this, old Ma gets upset on the inside.

How can it be like this?

Without the slightest bit of satisfaction.

Thinking this, old Ma continues sighing deeper, with greater lung capacity, a more prolonged melancholic atmosphere, drawing even more attention.

This sigh was akin to the desolate feeling he had when the goddess spurned and rejected him, mixed with the despair he felt after his hasty conclusion during his first time after becoming a little man.

However, it still didn't get Chen Cang's attention!

But, eventually, someone chimes in!

Director Hou from the second group comes in: "Huh? Group Leader Ma, what's wrong? You look so unhappy?"

Finding his straight man role, Ma Yuehui immediately perks up!

"Sigh, I thought I could rest this weekend, but then work came up again!"

Upon hearing this, Director Hou also shakes his head: "Sigh, it's tough when you're too accomplished."

"I was saying I'd spend a good weekend with my wife and kids, but then I got a last-minute notice for an assessment task for the intermediate attending physician. I said I didn't want to go, but they insisted I must!"

"They want me to be the chief examiner for attending physicians in Hebei Province, it's really helpless!"

As he speaks, although Director Hou is responding to Ma Yuehui, he's staring at Chen Cang, causing Chen Cang to noticeably breathe more rapidly, his blood pressure rising, adrenaline secretion unstable, dopamine levels in his body spiking erratically, even the synapses at his nerve junctions catching a bit of a cold, and on his neck... the jugular vein visibly bulging, positive jugular venous reflux!

Director Hou patted Chen Cang's shoulder: "Ah, Professor Chen, it's a pity you aren't in Hebei province. Otherwise, I'd make a call for you, getting you a passing grade would be no problem!"

After saying that, Director Hou couldn't help but leave with a sense of regret!

Old Ma's face changed: "Ah...wait, I haven't spoken about mine yet! Gosh, Old Hou, come here, listen to me!"

Director Hou ignored him completely!

Old Ma was instantly dumbfounded.

Damn...

Weren't you supposed to assist me in my act?

How come I've become your assistant now!

I haven't even started showing off!

Can you let me finish first?

I'm so frustrated.

But of course, Director Hou wouldn't be fooled and happily walked away.

Old Ma's attempt to impress was a failure, leaving him somewhat disappointed, but he quickly massaged his chest for self-consolation: "I'm not angry, I'm not frustrated, I'm very happy... Don't develop nodules!"

Seeing Old Ma like this, Chen Cang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Days passed by.

Chen Cang felt tremendous internal pressure; he could sense the caliber of people here, everyone from 985 and 211 universities.

Is the intermediate exam not about passing scores?

But rather how many points short of full marks?

Are you guys beasts?

In the past few days, the young nurses in the department also learned that their Professor Chen was going to take the exam, and they all acted very considerately.

"Professor Chen, here's the lunch I made for you. It's healthy and green, and it can even help enhance your memory!" Nurse Cheng Yi, after her noon shift, brought Chen Cang a breakfast.

"Professor Chen, let me do these rough tasks from now on, you just focus on studying! Oh, and I bought you some anti-fatigue coffee. This is the expensive Kopi Luwak my husband bought for me, have a drink quickly!"

"Professor Chen, you've been working so hard studying, do you need my husband to make you a high-tech cheating device?"

"Professor Chen, it's so hot, our nurses' duty room has air conditioning, come rest over there!"

...

The presence of the nurse sisters made Chen Cang realize once again that there is true kindness and love in this world!

He finally understood why the department needed nurses!

It's definitely because God knew doctors worked too hard and specially matched them with adorable nurse sisters to take care of them.

Chen Cang's studying was tedious, but his learning environment was warm and cozy!

Of course, in order to successfully surpass the crowd in his department, Chen Cang decided to aim for a high score.

"Director Yu, I'm from the Department of Thoracic Surgery. Is Professor Chen available? We have a special case we'd like him to consult on."

Yu Yonggang, looking at Chen Cang who was diligently studying, nodded contentedly: "Chen Cang is very busy; he probably won't have time this week."

The other party was momentarily stunned: "What do you mean? Is Professor Chen tackling a major surgery?"

Yu Yonggang pondered for a moment: "Professor Chen is going to take an intermediate level exam!"

The other party was evidently taken aback: "Oh! Is Professor Chen going to be an examiner?"

Yu Yonggang shook his head: "No, Professor Chen is going to take the attending physician assessment."

The other party paused for a moment!

It took a while before they said: "Oh... so Professor Chen is still an attending physician!"

Yu Yonggang chuckled without saying a word!
