The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 729 had another epileptic seizure

Liu Banxia worked the entire morning and then, after giving some instructions, headed to the cafeteria for lunch.

There was no room for modesty in the emergency center. If you had time, you rushed to eat when it was mealtime so you could get back to cover a shift.

You never knew when an emergency might come in, and you might not get a chance to eat then.

"Qing Kewa, how did your day go?" Liu Banxia asked after sitting next to her.

"It went well. I assisted in another operation," replied Qing Kewa.

"Made up your mind? Are you going to stay and have some fun, or go straight back to your country?" Liu Banxia asked again.

"I want to have some fun! I want to go find Qiaoqiao. We've already agreed," Qing Kewa replied.

Liu Banxia laughed. Qing Kewa seemed really interested in having some fun. But, there was nothing to worry about. After all, to her, being a doctor was just a hobby. Even after studying medicine and returning home, she might end up doing something else entirely.

"Hey, Huang Bo, haven't seen you for a while. Tomorrow's your last day. How are you feeling?"

He looked up, saw Huang Bo coming for lunch, and waved him over.

"Teacher Liu, I've been in the pediatric ward this entire time, which is a lot more difficult than dealing with adult patients," Huang Bo grimaced.

"Besides, my knowledge of pediatrics is still a bit lacking. I'm learning as I work. I also need to brush up on some emergency care knowledge, or else it'll be tough when I get to the ICU."

"That's normal. Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Liu Banxia nodded.

"So I've made a new decision: your next round of internships will start after you're officially resident doctors."

"Huh... why?" Huang Bo asked curiously.

"The director also feels I've been putting too much pressure on you all and hopes I'll be a bit gentler," Liu Banxia said.

"Actually, I didn't think it was a big deal, but it doesn't matter. Tormented early or tormented late, you'll be tormented sooner or later. Besides, the weather is getting hotter, and summer always brings more patients."

"So, can Huang Bo and I still get consecutive days off?" Huang Bo asked pitifully.

"Of course, you absolutely can. Just go to Langtaosha, mention my name, it'll definitely work," Liu Banxia earnestly replied.

Huang Bo breathed a sigh of relief. The upcoming two days off were pretty much what was keeping him going. Only those who truly experienced it would know how tough working in pediatrics was.

"Teacher Liu, when I came over just now, Liu Yiqing's patient had a seizure. But it's already under control, so I didn't call you," Xu Yino, who had also come to eat, said casually.

Liu Banxia frowned. "It seems the patient's condition is quite serious. Aphasia, airway blockage, and now epilepsy. It must be either a teratoma or a troublesome case of encephalitis."

"The patient who came into the emergency department this morning... the CT scan was negative, so we'll have to investigate further. By the way, have you finished your work? Have Old Xu and the others left?"

Xu Yino nodded. "When I came out, I ran into Director Fang. I don't know what they talked about. Hopefully, it was helpful. Those people are too disgusting."

"But I heard them say it seems very difficult to infiltrate. They'll also do detailed background checks. It's not as simple as just wanting to go; they might have heard things are tight."

"Teacher Liu, what are you guys talking about? Just because I'm in pediatrics, does that mean I don't get to know anything?" Huang Bo asked pitifully.

"It's a small situation, and it's not appropriate to comment right now because it involves one of our hospital's patients," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"You'll find out what's going on once we have some definite leads. Afterward, you all should think carefully about how you're going to guide the new interns when they arrive."

"You all are a special case. For the next batch of interns, you will be teaching them the fundamentals. Our guidance will focus more on surgical skills and diagnostic techniques. We need to have a clear division of labor."

"I get it. So that's why you postponed the remaining internships, right?" A resentful look crept into Huang Bo's eyes.

"What internship has been postponed?" Xu Yino also asked curiously.

"It's our rotation internship in the ICU and pediatrics. Teacher Liu said it was postponed until after we graduated. He said it was for our benefit," complained Huang Bo.

"In fact, it's to make us help him mentor the interns! Why is there such insidious scheming in the world? Good heavens, why am I always the one who suffers?"

Liu Banxia didn't care one bit about such a blatant accusation.

"Torturing" the six little ones was one of his rare joys during work.

"Teacher Liu, why didn't you say so sooner? I made so many mental preparations for the next round of internships," Xu Yino also complained.

"Plans change, don't they?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

Xu Yino glanced at him, then ran to the food window. "Manager Zhou, Teacher Liu said to add a plate of Guobaorou for us, to celebrate!"

Zhou Qiang was taken aback and cast his gaze over to Liu Banxia.

What else could Liu Banxia say? "Prepare two plates then. There are four more who haven't arrived yet."

This was outright blackmail by Xu Yino, but he had to accept it. This girl was very mischievous at times.

This small act of "revenge" made Xu Yino very happy. It wasn't about what she ate; as long as it caused "damage" to Liu Banxia, even if it was an unblockable hit that didn't truly faze him, it was a success.

The Guobaorou obtained through blackmail tasted especially delicious!

"Alright, I'm almost done eating. After you finish, find some time to rest. Manager Zhou, bring me a small braised pork dish, add a braised egg, a small assortment of vegetables, a few pieces of Guobaorou, half a portion of rice, and a bowl of soup," said Liu Banxia.

"It'll be ready soon. How about shiitake mushrooms with bok choy, and Indian lettuce with sesame sauce?" Zhou Qiang replied, quickly preparing the order.

"Dr. Liu, you haven't been ordering as many extra meals recently; this isn't right. It doesn't follow our emergency center's routine. You should order extras more often; otherwise, how am I supposed to manage my stock of pork trotters and chicken legs?"

"My goodness, when did you become part of our emergency center? Will you give me a discount?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"When have I not given you a discount? Even if you don't check your meal card, I keep a tally here. It's always a 10% discount for you," Zhou Qiang said.

"Well, that's something. My VVIP status at least gets me a 10% discount. Just wait, the new interns will be here soon; this batch will be the main consumers," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"What? Are you going to organize a welcome party here? I heard last time it was at Jinbao Grand Hotel. Are you going to follow that standard?" Zhou Qiang asked with delight.

"In your dreams! Last time, I subsidized it out of my own pocket. This time, it's coming out of the emergency center's funds. I'll think about it carefully. I've got to go," Liu Banxia said, then picked up his meal and sauntered off.

As soon as he left, Xu Yino came over with her tray. "Manager Zhou, what did our Great Demon King Liu say just now? Why did he look over at us?"

"He just said that new interns are coming soon, so there might be a welcome party here," Zhou Qiang said casually.

"Why do I always feel something's off? If that was all, he wouldn't have looked at us like that," Xu Yino furrowed her brows.

"Oh, right, we also talked about ordering extra meals. He mentioned you all should order more, otherwise, I sometimes don't dare to stock too many pork trotters and chicken legs," Zhou Qiang said.

"Sigh... that man is so petty," Xu Yino sighed, her shoulders slumping in dismay.

"Dr. Xu, what's the matter?" Zhou Qiang asked, confused.

"Teacher Liu said we'll be responsible for training the new interns. Doesn't that mean *we'll* have to pay for their rewards then? All this because we tricked him into buying us one plate of Guobaorou? How can he be so stingy?" Xu Yino lamented. Suddenly, the Guobaorou didn't seem so fragrant anymore.

"Haha, it won't be that bad. It's just chicken legs and pork trotters; it hardly costs anything. Go spend some time with your Shimu, Qiaoqiao, and you'll earn it all back," Zhou Qiang laughed.

"Manager Zhou, that's not the point; it's not about the money. This is a matter of dignity! We absolutely have to discuss this properly," said Xu Yino before taking her tray and running back again.

Zhou Qiang opened his mouth, then helplessly shook his head.

Like master, like disciple. Liu Banxia was one of the few genuinely mischievous doctors Zhou Qiang had encountered since coming to the Second Hospital. Now it seemed the batch he'd trained had inherited his playful nature.

Liu Banxia, returning with his take-away meal, was completely unaware that Xu Yino was already plotting. Having finished his own lunch earlier, his main concern now was still the emergency patient.

"Teacher Liu, he had one epileptic seizure, but it wasn't very long," Liu Yiqing said.

Liu Banxia nodded. "You should eat your food first."

"Dr. Liu, is this encephalitis? I was just asking Dr. Liu Yiqing here, and she said these symptoms look like some kind of brain disease," the patient's wife said.

Liu Banxia nodded. "The probability is high, but we also can't rule out a teratoma. For now, let's wait for the results of the spinal fluid analysis. They should be out in a little while."

"We'll keep an eye on him here. You need to eat something too. Otherwise, before we even figure out what's wrong with him, you'll collapse from exhaustion."

At this moment, the patient lying in bed waved his hand, picked up the notebook by his side, and wrote a line: "The food smells good. Go eat."

Although the characters were a bit shaky, seeing them brought tears to his wife's eyes.

Liu Banxia silently observed. By conventional standards, they would be considered an older husband and a younger wife, with at least a ten-year age difference. But their affection for each other was genuine. Even in his current state, the patient was still thinking about his wife. After an epileptic seizure, a person isn't themselves. They feel extremely tired, and their mental state is very poor. Yet he insisted on writing those words to his wife. It was truly remarkable. Love, sometimes, is truly amazing.
