Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176: I Really Just Want to Keep a Low Profile!

“Why does no one dare to undertake such clinical research?”

“Because the risk of surgery is too high, the mortality rate is too high–if you were to perform 100 surgeries, and truthfully, if about ten people died, that would be exceedingly outrageous.”

“This kind of public outcry could scare everyone to death!”

“That’s also why most national-level projects rarely approve clinical trials involving such dangerous surgeries.”

“Even if Chen Cang is very strict with the inclusion criteria, the risk involved with this type of surgery is still very high.”

“Therefore, most people would rather analyze and summarize successful cases of surgery to produce a research paper.”

“Instead of conducting too many clinical trials!”

“After all, there’s a difference between a patient dying due to surgery failure in clinical practice and a patient dying due to surgery failure in a clinical trial.”

“Think carefully about it, see how big the difference is?”

“The first scenario can be wholly attributed to the unpredictability of surgery and medical limitations.”

“But in the second scenario, many would attribute it to the risks of the trial itself, humanitarianism, and the capabilities of the experimenters!”

“That’s the disparity!”

“So, this time, Wu Tongpu carries a heavy burden with the clinical trial.”

“Indeed, if it were not for the leadership of Xiao Runfang and the research center appreciating Chen Cang’s remarkable achievements, they would be very reluctant to agree!”

“This is also why many patients do not wish to join the study group!”

“Because those experts have made it very clear that the risk involved in clinical trials is very high!”

“Who would want to die?”

“No one wishes to!”

“Therefore, everyone is waiting, reluctant to join the clinical trial.”

“…”

“At this time, the promotional campaign for the television show “Challenge the Impossible” had already been launched!”

“The fourth season of “Challenge the Impossible” is about to premiere!”

“As the star and highlight of the first episode, naturally, Chen Cang must be well-publicized.”

“Quickly, “Challenge the Impossible’s” official microblog and website began a fiery promotion for the first episode.”

“And of course, Chen Cang’s challenge to the extreme level of vascular suturing, conquering the complex condition of Marfan patients, was highlighted right at the top.”

“Foreshadowing it was a master of arts and crafts who completed a woodcarving in an hour, a perfect blend of speed and aesthetics.”

“Chen Cang’s photo also instantly featured on the homepage of “Challenge the Impossible,” with a huge banner behind depicting the challenge’s goal.”

“The ultimate pursuit of speed is the endless exploration of medicine: Professor Chen Cang, President of the World Society of Digestive Surgery, attempts to complete a full arch replacement surgery within 25 minutes! He needs to finish anastomoses of 8 ports with synthetic vessels, 25 minutes, which is the peak value for full arch replacements both domestically and internationally–can he succeed in this challenge?”

“The entire page layout gave Chen Cang ample prominence!”

“And the introduction of Chen Cang didn’t skimp on accolades.”

“Vice President of the Chinese Society of General Surgery, World’s Best Plastic Surgeon of the Year, Pioneer of domestic beating-heart cardiac surgery techniques, President of the World Society of Digestive Surgery, and the youngest guest professor of Xiehe Medical University: Chen Cang!”

“This series of titles can be said to be luxurious to the extreme, drawing attention solely with this reputation.”

“The fourth season of “Challenge the Impossible” notably features craftsmen and masters of arts and crafts from the forefront of China’s engineering sector.”

“After the ad was released, it quickly attracted more and more attention!”

“And Chen Cang’s 25-minute full arch replacement surgery instantly piqued the interest of more and more experts in the medical field.”

“Although everyone knew that the 25 minutes only referred to the time for replacement anastomosis, not including thoracotomy or dissection, even so, it made these experts somewhat unsettled.”

“Especially the leadership of the Meixide Hospital in the capital.”

“They quickly realized that Chen Cang’s participation in the show must be related to the research project.”

“But the challenge speed of 25 minutes still seemed beyond their reach.”

“Should they just stand by and watch Chen Cang take the stage?”

Successfully complete the challenge?

And then attract a large number of patients.

Once these 100+ patients really enter the emergency center, where will West Germany Medical go to make money?

Of course not like this!

They were originally worried that the emergency center would take away their patients, and they have already carried out some premeditated strategies against them, creating confusion among the experts.

Now, it’s almost certain that Chen Cang will appear on the program, and no one can stop it.

But how to solve this?

What if…

Make Chen Cang fail the challenge?

Upon thinking of this solution, the CEO of West Germany Medical, Wu Maoxuan, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes!

Right!

Just make Chen Cang fail the challenge.

If the challenge fails, it would definitely have a huge negative impact on Chen Cang’s influence.

Moreover, Chen Cang is the initiator of this clinical trial. If even Chen Cang fails, how viable is the clinical trial?

By then, with a bit of publicity through this public opinion, the topic will naturally fall apart!

Capitalists will dare to do anything for the sake of profit!

Wu Maoxuan makes his living off this, so how could he let Chen Cang take away his livelihood?

Instantly, Wu Maoxuan gathered all the experts he had invited from home and abroad for a meeting!

The next day, a surgical video and recording were released on West Germany Medical’s website, which also landed on the front pages of medical forums like DXY and MediV, etc.

And the title was: “Aortic arch replacement surgery in 25 minutes? No! It can be done in 22 minutes!”

Very soon, the video was upvoted by countless people.

After all, such sharp operations and surgeries really attract attention.

Even surgery videos from such top doctors are rarely made public.

But now that it’s been released, the significance is quite clear.

It implies that Chen Cang’s 25-minute challenge is indeed too simple.

It doesn’t even have the value of a challenge!

It devalues the native concept of the show “Challenge the Impossible”.

Hence, with some people stirring the pot, comments started pouring in under the “Challenge the Impossible” website and Weibo:

“The 25 minutes that Chen Cang wants to challenge is actually very easy to achieve, many people can do it!”

“Professor Chen Cang is so powerful, challenging 25 minutes seems… too casual, I suggest challenging 22 minutes!”

“Right! ‘Challenge the Impossible’ is naturally about pushing the limits, something like 25 minutes, many doctors can achieve!”

Suddenly, the production team directly called Chen Cang to inform him of the news and asked if Chen Cang wanted to change the time.

After all, this kind of show is inherently entertainment, it’s not a Guinness World Records challenge!

It’s just a variety show in pursuit of excellence.

Sun Ke directly told Chen Cang: “There’s no need to change the time!”

However, Chen Cang’s goal is to publicize. If he wasn’t worried about being too abnormal and not fitting in with others, Chen Cang would even consider choosing 15 minutes.

Looking at these comments, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh!

I really just want to keep a low profile.

…

ps: There’s more tonight!
