Liu Banxia stretched lazily. Although tomorrow's surgery is a huge challenge, for him, it poses no problem.

He is quite confident when it comes to performing surgeries, and most of the time, he can adopt a "normal" mindset.

"You look pretty good, did Rou recover well?" Liu Banxia waved as he saw Liu Yiqing strolling over.

"Teacher Liu, I'm embarrassed to be lazy upstairs. These past two days have been spent eating and playing with Rou, I feel like I've wasted my life. Can you take me on an emergency consult?" Liu Yiqing said.

"If you can promise to stay behaved and not invest too much personal emotion, or say you can control the emotional investment, then there's no problem," Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing stuck out her tongue but nodded reluctantly.

Actually, she was puzzled herself. Logically, with her kind of personality, she should be very scared seeing surgery scenes. But ever since her first day of contact, she hasn't found anything to be afraid of. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Teacher Liu, how do you do it?" Liu Yiqing asked after making tea for Liu Banxia.

"How? Control, that's all," Liu Banxia said.

"Don't think you will get used to it gradually by witnessing more, that's unrealistic. When dealing with pregnant women and infants, we naturally get emotionally involved."

"What we can do is try to control it, like I've told you many times. Otherwise, the ones ruling the Earth might be some hairy creatures who enjoy pounding their chests for fun."

"As for you, I've decided not to enforce too many demands. Just follow your instincts, control a little if you can, and if not, well, we can't do much then."

Liu Yiqing rolled her eyes, "You make it sound like I'm beyond help."

"There's a benefit though, your empathy with patients is at max level," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"But you need to be careful, you never know what kind of patients you'll encounter in the future. We are just doctors, we can only treat illnesses. Within that scope, we have jurisdiction. Beyond that scope, we must be cautious."

Liu Yiqing nodded, occasionally feeling that she gets too emotionally involved. But that's just her personality, she can't help it.

Liu Banxia finds every opportunity to lecture her anyway, she knows the situation but can't change it, what can be done?

"President Qi, please alert me if an emergency patient is sent for a consult later. Our doctor Liu Yiqing wants to be active; she feels her recent days have been wasted," Liu Banxia called out.

Qi Wentai nodded with a smile, "No problem, it gives others a chance to rest a bit."

"Teacher Liu, I protest. You're the one itching for action, and you're using me as a scapegoat," Liu Yiqing said helplessly.

"How could it be? I care so much for you all. Whatever I do, I'm thinking of you. It's hard to find a mentor like me," Liu Banxia said seriously.

Liu Yiqing felt helpless; this great demon king Liu is unbeatable, even Xu Yino can't handle him and ends up at a loss.

"Oh my, what are they up to?" At this moment, Liu Banxia was shocked as he saw a group of people entering through the door.

"Oh dear, I forgot. Chairman Bao mentioned his friends would visit Rou today, I didn't expect so many people. Teacher Liu, I made a mistake," Liu Yiqing slapped her forehead, feeling guilty.

Liu Banxia glanced at her, "Let's just leave it like this; it's actually not a big deal as long as they don't affect other patients since they are VIPs."

"But it seems Old Bao has come to terms with it, decided there's nothing to hide. It's actually quite good, though there are quite a lot of people. You should remind him later."

"Ah…, Teacher Liu, is it okay for me to say that?" Liu Yiqing asked surprised.

"Why can't you? You hold important weight, don't underestimate yourself," Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing reluctantly nodded; after all, this was her idea, so she had to take responsibility.

"President Liu, there's really a patient being sent over, 21 years old, experienced chest tightness at home. Oxygen was given in the ambulance, feeling a bit better," Qi Wentai called out.

"I thought it was something severe. What's going on today?" Liu Banxia asked confused.

"Indeed… It's a rare leisurely day," Qi Wentai remarked.

But there wasn't much sincerity in his words, even Shi Lei beside him crossed his arms watching him. No need to say, initial diagnosis for such ailments don't require their primary physicians; it was clearly work assigned to him.

What else can be done? Let's wait and see.

In less than ten minutes, the ambulance stopped at the door.

"Vital signs are stable; symptoms include shortness of breath, chest tightness, physical fatigue," said the paramedic pushing the patient out, their expression slightly peculiar.

Liu Banxia glanced at the patient lying on the examination bed with an oxygen mask, looked at the bare shoulder, and at the woman following the ambulance. He understood in his heart.

"First send the patient to the examination bed. Are you a family member? You should register him first." Liu Banxia said.

"Uh... I'm not a family member, just a friend. The doctor said I had to come along, I made the 120 call." The girl said.

"Friend or family member, he needs to be registered first." Liu Banxia said.

"Hmm... I left in a hurry, forgot to bring my ID." The girl said.

"Alright, Liu Yiqing, you first get the basic information about the patient from her, I'll start examining the patient. Can you move to the bed yourself?" Liu Banxia said.

The patient shook his head.

"Come on, one, two, three, move to the bed. Do you have any underlying conditions like hypertension, heart disease, diabetes?" Liu Banxia asked.

The patient shook his head again.

"Can you verbally provide your name and ID number? Can you contact your actual family members?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

This time the patient nodded, reported his name and ID number, but he clearly appeared very exhausted now.

"I just did a quick evaluation with a stethoscope, heart and lung sounds are normal. Blood pressure and temperature are also normal, now since there are no outsiders, tell me, did you take any recreational drugs and overdo it?" After examining the patient, Liu Banxia asked.

"Doctor, I didn't take anything, I didn't need drugs at my age." The patient spoke softly.

"Suddenly, I felt slightly uncomfortable breathing, and it's not just today, it's actually been a while. These days I feel tired, my hands and feet are weak. At first I didn't take it seriously, I thought I just drank too much."

"So, you're sure you don't need to contact your family now? How long has this been going on?" Liu Banxia asked.

The patient shook his head, "In this state, I can't call my family, too embarrassing. It's been about a week."

"Currently your vital signs are stable, only showing fatigue and some difficulty breathing, right?" Liu Banxia asked again.

The patient nodded.

"I'll ask one last time, you really haven't taken any recreational drugs? How long have you been living like this?" Liu Banxia said.

"Many drugs can have major side effects, judging by what you said, you've probably been living like this a lot lately, right?"

"Doctor, I really haven't taken any other drugs, I'm very healthy and usually pay attention to exercise and fitness. I... it's been about over twenty days, everything has been normal." The patient said.

"If that's the case, I can only do a routine blood test and biochemical test on you now. You probably didn't manage to have a proper breakfast this morning?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

The patient nodded bashfully.

Liu Banxia drew the curtain aside and stepped out, only to see Liu Yiqing wandering around with hands behind her back.

"What are you doing? Finished questioning, but not reporting immediately?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Report what? She knows nothing. Only met last night, woke up this morning to play and then realized something was wrong. Thought someone was going to die, that's why she called 120." Liu Yiqing asked sullenly, glaring at Liu Banxia fiercely.

She instinctively felt Liu Banxia did it on purpose, he must have guessed it right away, otherwise why let her question that girl?

"Actually, I was just trying to see. Call someone to take blood, routine blood test and biochemical test, examination showed nothing wrong." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Also asked the patient, he hasn't taken any recreational drugs. If what he said is true, then we can rule that out."

Liu Yiqing pursed her lips, "He's just tricking people, who would believe him anyway, I'll draw the blood myself."

Liu Banxia shook his head helplessly, although the patient was "affected" by Liu Yiqing's anger, it had nothing to do with him. Based on the patient's symptoms, it seemed like a consequence of "overexertion."

As for whether he took any drugs, there's still a question mark.

Twenty days of this, even an iron kidney can't handle it. It's a bit of worry, despite wanting to get warmed up, he ended up with such a patient.

He believed the patient was lying, he must have taken some drugs. And it's precisely these drugs causing some adverse reactions leading to the current symptoms.

This is a self-inflicted condition, showing no care for his body, in the end, he still has to pay for it himself.

At this moment Liu Yiqing came out proudly, carrying several tubes of drawn blood, full of achievement.

"Doctor, can I leave now? It's unrelated to me, right?" The girl who came with the ambulance walked over.

Liu Banxia nodded, "Theoretically, it's unrelated. No intentional interference, take care of yourself."

The girl blushed, nodded, and then left the hospital.
