Chapter 1426: A Word to Awaken the Dreamer!
Time passed by second by second.
Chen Cang spoke neither too fast nor too slow, intermittently revealing key points of knowledge.
Exclamations erupted!
The audience became increasingly excited.
No one dared to relax their vigilance.
Compared to the high-level points at the AATS conference, this time Chen Cang explained concepts in simple terms and used clinical principles for analysis and discussion.
This allowed almost everyone to gain significantly.
Attending physicians gained insight, associate directors felt inspired, directors found value, and even renowned doctors benefitted greatly.
Isn't this exactly what capability is?
Wu Tongpu sat in the audience, watching Chen Cang, feeling a bit emotional. In just over half a year, the dazzling young doctor from the cardiothoracic surgery skills competition was now standing on the world stage.
Moreover, the most shocking thing was that even he found the content new and enlightening.
Next to him, Xiao Zhehai even started taking notes, occasionally blurting out, "Oh my!"
Even his doctoral students, who had come with him, were listening intently.
What defines a master?
This is a master!
The ability to explain a type of knowledge on multiple levels, allowing everyone to have an epiphany, that is true skill!
Ma Lien no longer had a heart of competition.
Seeing President Sabrina's solemn face, he smiled, "You said before, once you step down as president, we could get married, right?"
Sabrina was momentarily taken aback, then smiled gently, "I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Rehn pointed at Chen Cang with a smile and said, "Look, that's God!"
...
...
The better Chen Cang spoke, the more pressure some people felt.
At the panel of expert judges, several directors listened intently, but their hearts were burdened.
Defense, as the name suggests, involves answering and explaining the questions posed by the examiners.
However…
To pick faults and find questions really tests the experts' level.
Because you must have thoroughly researched the topic, combined with your own experience and judgment, to raise questions for Chen Cang to answer.
Therefore, the Q&A session is actually the core of the defense.
But…
Where could they find questions?
With such brilliant presentation, what questions could we possibly have?
A supposed final hurdle for students now became a predicament for many experts.
It seemed they were the ones being tested!
The seven people looked at each other with rather unpleasant expressions as time slipped away, the clouds of concern growing heavier on their faces.
Originally thought to be a position of honor, being a reviewer turned out to be a huge pit!
Only Xia Gaofeng was unperturbed, as he was the chief reviewer, who could simply summarize at the end. Once the other directors finished their questions, he could just gloss over with some flowery language!
The other directors, however, had to think of questions in advance.
Where to find questions?
Standing at the very edge was Sun Guangyu.
The thing he regretted most now was sitting on the edge as the statistical reviewer for Chen Cang.
Because real-world data statistics are extremely complex, although Sun Guangyu was experienced, he did not possess the capability to provide such guidance.
Next was Tao Zi, who also sighed in wonder; it was understood, but how to ask questions was unclear?
If asked too simply, it would make oneself appear unskilled, a mere impostor!
If asked too difficultly... one truly lacked that level of expertise.
In such a setting, watched by cardiothoracic experts from all over the world, it would be a disgrace to embarrass oneself. What to do?
After a moment of hesitation, Tao Zi sent a message to Qian Lin, seeking external help.
Not long after, Qian Lin provided an official answer!
Tao Zi was delighted inside, not bad, this kid was somewhat useful after all.
Thankfully, they hadn't removed him from the school.
Not bad at all!
Looking at the response above, Tao Zi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
...
...
Two and a half hours later, Chen Cang finally concluded his presentation, having gone through more than a hundred slides in the computer.
After bowing to the audience, Chen Cang said, "Thank you to all the teachers and guests for listening, thank you!"
"To thank our guests who have traveled from afar, after the expert review questions, everyone on site can raise their hand to ask questions, each person has one chance!"
Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, the judges on the panel immediately let out a sigh of relief.
The pressure was instantly alleviated significantly!
Tao Zi and the others took another look at Chen Cang, finding him increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, those in the audience who heard Chen Cang's words each showed a joyful expression!
To them, this was a genuine benefit!
Engaging in personal exchanges with Chen Cang, sharing insights, dispelling doubts and spreading knowledge, such experiences were more important than receiving anything else.
At their level, they had traveled from afar not for other reasons, but for an opportunity to overcome their current bottlenecks.
In truth, all things share a similar principle.
Throughout progress, one will encounter various problems and confusions which require insight from other areas.
Today's presentation by Chen Cang was on the analysis of cardiac arrest and non-arrest.
For everyone, the topic was vast and excellent.
But ultimately, it perfectly demonstrated Chen Cang's extraordinary insight in these two areas.
This indicated that Chen Cang had a profound understanding of both concepts of "heart beating" and "heart not beating," enabling them to break through their own limitations and solve current confusions!
Thinking about this, how could they not be pleased?
Today's gains were substantial, and most importantly, they could engage with Chairman Chen.
Such academic exchanges were invaluable.
It would be better if more such conferences were held!
Below, the reporters, upon hearing this, raised their heads to look at the banner on the stage:
"Chen Cang's Graduation Defense and Academic Exchange Meeting"
Suddenly, they realized that what everyone initially thought would lead to further exchanges turned out to be Chen Cang in dialogue with the entire audience.
Of course, it might also be just Chen Cang on a "teaching" mission.
After ten minutes of preparation, the defense officially began.
The conference staff occasionally poured tea for Chen Cang as he went on stage, making him look more like a leader awaiting a speech rather than a graduate student in defense.
At this moment, Chen Cang glanced at the judges, indicating it could begin.
Chief reviewer Xia Gaofeng, seeing this, said, "Let's start from right to left, Director Sun, do you have any questions?"
When they heard the review was starting, everyone quieted down.
Sun Guangyu was extremely nervous!
What questions? He had none!
Nonetheless, Sun Guangyu, being an experienced examiner, said, "Today's data is too vast. I need a look first, Director Tao, please start."
Soon, it was Tao Zi's turn!
Everyone glanced at Tao Zi, giving him a look of plea, brother, hold on!
Tao Zi, however, remained calm, even saying with a hint of a smile:
"Great! Absolutely great! This is a high-level academic report, and in my ten-plus years as a reviewer, it's the most complete, reasonable, and scientific research project I've encountered!"
"From the choice of topic to the selection of statistical methods, and even the sample size of the study and the mastery of the subject content, it was all completely beyond my expectations!"
"Without a doubt, this is a classic graduation defense!"
"Yes, indeed very good, everything that needed to be said has been covered, I have no questions. Professor Qin, your turn!"
With that, Tao Zi successfully retreated, sliding the burden over to Qin Yueming nearby.
Tao Zi's words instantly enlightened everyone!
That's right!
If you can't find a question, can't you praise it?
Everyone was suddenly awakened!
