When the Doctor Uses A Hack

You're a struggling young doctor, barely making ends meet with a measly $2000 monthly income. Life's pressures and trials weigh heavily upon you! But lo and behold! One fine morning, you wake up to find yourself equipped with some sort of cheat codes... You're scheduled for an appendectomy, so you roll up your sleeves and get ready to explore the abdominal terrain: You touch the cecum: "Cecum: Healthy!" You palpate the colon: "Colon: All clear!" You reach the appendix: "Appendix: It's an inflamed, pus-filled appendix monster, level 15, rare creature. Recommendation: Perform an appendectomy!" With a decisive hand, you wield your scalpel and skillfully remove the troublesome appendix. "Ding! Rare appendix monster eliminated! Rewards: +100 experience in appendectomy, +$100, and a shiny white suture needle!" And thus, your journey begins as an emergency surgeon. But remember, with great healing powers comes great responsibility!

Chapter 42: Need Someone to Help?

Moreover!

Chen Cang was going to use a round needle and he intended to choose the thinnest type available.

After some deliberation, Chen Cang decided on a suture needle that he had often used in the hospital: the ET164 suture needle, a number four round needle, 16mm in length. This needle was very thin and typically came with a number four thread, and it was quite short, only 16mm.

This type of round needle was generally used to suture blood vessels due to its limited sharpness and because it was very fine. If someone were to suggest using it to suture skin, that would be considered complete nonsense!

Yet, Chen Cang's idea was to use a number four thread "tail bridge" in addition to this tiny ET164 to suture the skin!

Only by doing so, could he achieve the best results in terms of the suture properties and the appearance of the repaired skin!

Of course, this type of suture came with a high cost.
