"OK, we've finally completed more than half; the only thing left is the bile-intestinal anastomosis. Congratulations, Dr. Chen, we didn't need you to step in."

Liu Banxia placed the removed specimen into the tray and sighed in relief.

"That's good. If something had really gone wrong, I'm worried he might not have been able to pull through," Chen Xuehai said.

"Actually, the one who deserves the most credit is Doctor Wang. This patient's body metrics were controlled so well. Considering how weak his condition was, managing it this well isn't easy at all."

"I didn't sleep half the night yesterday, just pondering over the potential issues this patient might have," Wang Lei said with a wry smile.

"Everyone contributed, everyone contributed. Boss, can you finish the remaining part for me? I'll stretch my back and impart some knowledge to the kids," Liu Banxia said.

"How lazy, do it yourself," Shi Lei wouldn't help him out.

Liu Banxia, feeling helpless, continued with the procedure.

"Liu Yiqing, are you just watching? If you don't examine them now, when will you?" Liu Banxia said after disconnecting the jejunum.

"Ah, Teacher Liu, I'm learning here. What should I ask? How do I examine?" Liu Yiqing, watching intently, was a bit confused.

"Playful and mischievous, well, watch carefully. Bile-intestinal anastomosis has high technical requirements and requires meticulous operation," Liu Banxia said.

"Liu Yiqing, I better test you. Otherwise, you won't think. Why do we need to isolate the anterior and posterior branches of the right hepatic artery?"

"It's to prevent the occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm after surgery, of course," Liu Yiqing replied straightforwardly.

"You see, this is a crucial point. You can dig a hole and wait for them to fall in. They saw it this time and will remember it. How else would you trick them in the future?" Liu Banxia openly shared.

Whether it was the interns watching below or the countless batches of people above, they all felt a bit helpless hearing him say this.

"Xu Yino, it seems Teacher Liu is in a good mood. Should we ask him for some extra dishes at dinner?" Huang Bo asked.

"Don't tempt me, I'm not going to ask," Xu Yino said warily.

"If I say something, Teacher Liu will surely make me his scapegoat," Huang Bo said helplessly.

"Huang Bo, turn on the communicator," Liu Banxia's voice came through again.

Huang Bo paused and quickly turned it on.

"To prevent a postoperative pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery, how should we operate?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Isolate the anterior and posterior branches of the right hepatic artery, completely separating them from the bile duct," Huang Bo replied helplessly.

This is exactly what Liu Banxia had just discussed with Liu Yiqing, and now he's just in a good mood and causing trouble for him.

"And what else?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

Huang Bo was stumped. What else? Should he add "to prevent pseudoaneurysms"? But that's not it, is it?

"Teacher Liu, that's it, isn't it?" Huang Bo thought for a moment and said.

"Really nothing else?" Liu Banxia asked again.

"Truly nothing else," Huang Bo replied.

"Oh, if there's nothing, there's nothing. Why are you anxious? But are you sure there's absolutely nothing else worth noting?" Liu Banxia nonchalantly added.

Huang Bo was a bit troubled. Now, hearing him ask again, he wasn't so sure. He tried to remember the last time he watched Liu Banxia perform surgery, but it had been a while, and the details were blurry.

"You fool, when performing anastomosis, you need to pay attention to the direction of the stitches. What if you accidentally puncture the external membrane of the branches? Shouldn't you be cautious?" Liu Banxia said.

"Yes, that's something to be careful about," Huang Bo said helplessly.

He didn't expect him to bring this up. It's something you must be mindful of during suturing. Hmm..., it's true, when a newcomer sutures, it's unpredictable.

"Actually, it's often like this. We assume mistakes won't happen, but they just might," Liu Banxia commented.

"Not answering the last question correctly doesn't mean you aren't learning well; it's just a reminder for everyone. Especially with this operation, where the bile ducts are small and require extra precision."

"Alright, anastomosis completed without any bleeding points. Inject some water to check for any leaks. If there's none, we've succeeded, and it's up to the patient's resilience from here," Liu Banxia said.

Actually, he wasn't just teasing them by chattering earlier. He hoped they would adjust to their roles and be more diligent in teaching the interns.

As the assistant, Liu Yiqing promptly conducted the water injection procedure and, after observing for a while, nodded to Liu Banxia.

"OK, rinse the abdominal cavity, count the instruments, and close the abdomen, Liu Yiqing," Liu Banxia instructed.

"Got it," Liu Yiqing responded happily.

"You need to push yourself; although we're not aiming for speed, we're not wasting time either. The speed of your closing affects the overall outcome of this surgery, and your suturing impacts the overall quality," Liu Banxia leisurely stated.

"The old saying goes, when weaving a basket, the closure is crucial. Let's see how well you close this. If it's not good, I can't say anything,"

Originally, Liu Yiqing was at ease, but now she felt nervous. How could she not be? This was one of Liu the Demon King's tests.

The key points for the test were not just about quick closure but also good suturing.

Is it that easy to do it both quickly and well?

Nervous or not, the work had to be done.

She also understood that for a fellow colleague, having low-quality suturing would be an embarrassment in the future.

"This girl must have secretly practiced suturing. She didn't suture this fast before." Xu Yino said helplessly after watching for a while.

"Did she fall into Teacher Liu's trap? Why let Liu Yiqing close the abdomen? Just to give us a little push." Huang Bo said.

"Don't I know that? But when did this girl practice? No way, I need to practice more these two days too." Xu Yino said.

"That's true, the big boss always does things openly. Look, he's still watching us. Sigh… how are we going to live in the future?" Huang Bo said helplessly.

The people nearby listened to their quiet conversation, also feeling deeply moved.

People often say great teachers produce brilliant students, but there's another saying: the teacher leads the way, cultivation is personal. If you don't work hard yourself, what can even the best teacher do?

Especially for surgeons, it's not just about having a certain accumulation of knowledge in pathology, your hand skills also have to pass the test.

The fame of the six little ones in the emergency center is not just because Liu Banxia is bold and dares to take them into surgery. Now people understand, the more crucial part is their own efforts.

They have their own spirit of "competition," which is great because mutual competition can promote the improvement of skills.

"Finished closing the abdomen."

Just as people were deep in thought, Liu Yiqing called out.

Ding! Surgery task completed

Ding! Advance task: Respected Surgeon (2/5)

Liu Banxia glanced and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the suturing speed was still a bit slower compared to himself, Liu Yiqing handled the quality of suturing very well.

This further proves the suspicion in his mind; in the future, the six little ones can appropriately get involved. It's not like he thought before, where his personal involvement has to be high for the perfect rating.

"Not bad, six hours and seventeen minutes." Wang Lei said.

"That's because Dr. Liu closed the abdomen very quickly. Take the specimen out to talk to the patient's family, then send it for testing." Liu Banxia said.

"Got it."

Liu Yiqing responded joyfully.

"You two saw that, right? Don't think Liu Yiqing is always foolishly caring only for patients; she's put in a lot of hard work as well." Liu Banxia looked up at Xu Yino and Huang Bo.

"Teacher Liu, I'm not foolish." Liu Yiqing weakly defended herself.

But neither Liu Banxia nor the two peers upstairs took her seriously. What else could she do? Just go deliver the specimen then.

"Teacher Liu, this surgery was so successful." Xu Yino pressed the intercom.

"Well, so what if it was successful?" Liu Banxia asked.

"If it's successful, then we have to celebrate." Xu Yino said.

"Are you going to treat us to a meal?" Liu Banxia asked in return.

"I'll complain to the teacher's wife." Xu Yino was out of options.

"Help me request a leave while you're at it; I'll be home late today. Hmm… probably one and a half hours late." Liu Banxia said.

"Always bossing people around, even a plate of cold dishes would be nice." Xu Yino muttered.

"Banxia, you're too stingy, the kids are all craving something." Wang Lei said.

"Exactly, even though I didn't operate, I stayed with you in the operating room for such a long time." Chen Xuehai added.

"Eating is a must; after all, we've worked for so long, having dinner a little earlier is no problem." Liu Banxia said.

"That's more like it." Wang Lei nodded in satisfaction.

After a few casual words, the patient slowly opened his eyes.

Liu Banxia gestured a success sign to him, "The surgery went very smoothly, now it's two days in ICU, then you'll wait to recover slowly."

Despite great effort, the patient also blinked his eyes.

Who doesn't want to live? But his test results really make hope seem slim.

"Alright, you four take him out and then go straight to the cafeteria to find us." Liu Banxia said.

Li Tianyang and his colleagues hurriedly lifted the patient from the operating table onto the gurney and wheeled him out.

"Sigh… I think after we aren't busy for a while, I should get a checkup myself." Liu Banxia said.

"Same here, what about doctors? The work intensity is so high, when it's time to get sick, we will. I just feel my waist is increasingly giving out." Shi Lei said.

"Haha, got it." Liu Banxia replied with a smile.

Shi Lei paused, feeling helpless.

The people in the operating room didn't care much and were laughing happily.
