Liu Banxia took a look around the emergency center. He really wasn't needed much at the moment; the patients coming in for debridement were quickly and properly taken care of.

He had to take a round outside too, and the emergency center currently didn't have a TEM system, which is a transanal endoscopic microsurgery system. Borrowing one from the proctology department makes more sense.

Actually, TEM surgery isn't a particularly new procedure. It's been used for a long time. But like many surgical systems, it has certain limitations.

So, it's often used by the proctology department. General surgery's rectal tumor patients are usually in the middle to late stages with significant infiltration, and some even require abdominal procedures. Laparoscopy is more convenient for them.

When going out, he can't wander aimlessly. He had to first check in with familiar faces in the inpatient department to feel out the situation and chat a bit, with the proctology department as the final stop.

"Is the leadership here for an inspection?" Guan Wei joked.

"Help from the martial world is needed. We're planning a TEM surgery the day after tomorrow, and the emergency center doesn't have one, so we have to ask you for help." Liu Banxia said.

"Oh? Trying to take our business?" Guan Wei asked.

"Rectal endometriosis with three implant sites. The depth is a bit much, and using this system makes it easier. What's Director Jiang up to? In the operating room again?" Liu Banxia asked.

Guan Wei nodded, "Another hemorrhoid with complex anal fistula case. It'll take at least two hours. I really think you guys should open a proctology department over there; otherwise, you'll always be stealing our business."

"You came at just the right time. Can't just borrow for free, right? You gotta help us out. Go with the dressing changes. Life is about movement, after all, and you don't have much else to do."

"Sigh... I figured I'd be drafted when I came over." Liu Banxia sighed.

"Actually, I'm quite busy too. I'm planning to spend more time next week researching new surgical methods and related orthopedic surgeries. Who asked me to brag back then? There's no helping it."

"Haha, this is called the capable ones doing more. Let's go; today's all set, though there aren't many patients today. Next month, next month ought to be busier." Guan Wei said.

This topic had been discussed with Liu Banxia before. People often think autumn is the best time for surgery because of the clear and refreshing weather. But there are pros and cons no matter when you do it.

The autumn climate is indeed nice, but it also makes the body more firey, which affects recovery.

"This is your good fortune. Watch closely how he changes the dressings, as I'm not up for it." Guan Wei said to the interns.

This was something of an order, as they started to prepare in the dressing room while also securing a favorable position.

After Liu Banxia entered the office, they started watching him. His last demonstration really impressed them, and none dared to think that "changing dressings is simple."

"You see? You really don't plan on switching to our proctology department?" Guan Wei asked.

"The proctology department is too limited. The emergency center is great. When it gets hectic, I even do thoracotomy. It's challenging and exciting." Liu Banxia said earnestly.

Guan Wei rolled his eyes.

Sometimes it's really hard to compare with this guy; it's easy to feel inferior. Not to mention the fast promotion, but he just handles everything so smoothly.

Even though he's a senior attending physician, Liu Banxia is a junior attending, but he's about to become deputy director of the emergency center.

Surgically speaking, he's currently only well-versed in proctological procedures. And Liu Banxia? He's no stranger to proctology surgery either.

Even though he only did an anal fistula surgery once in proctology, many surgical principles are the same. Plus, with Shi Lei's "secret techniques," if they really set up a proctology business in the emergency center, his department might just become desolate.

Even though it's called the proctology department, the current main surgeries are on perianal abscesses, anal fistulas, anal fissures, and hemorrhoids. Sometimes they do endoscopic polyp removal or something.

Whenever it goes deeper or reaches a tumor level, it's sent to general surgery.

Fortunately, there's a high number of patients with perianal diseases, so even if they're only responsible for the first line of related surgeries, there's no shortage of patients.

Other doctors in the proctology department are also familiar with Liu Banxia. After all, he had a great time clocking in and gaining experience there. Chatting away, they arrived at the dressing room.

"Tsk tsk, it's still that familiar feeling. Leave it all to me, consider it my fee for borrowing the equipment." Liu Banxia said.

"Gladly! Everyone, watch closely. You won't catch this kid easily. When he walks into the trap, you've got to seize the opportunity." Guan Wei didn't hold back at all.

"Doctor Guan, why is there someone new today?" an acquainted patient asked curiously.

"It's everyone's lucky day. No need for painkillers; he changes the dressings with built-in pain relief." Guan Wei said.

"Doctor Guan, really? The dressing change was scheduled earlier, and that medication takes half an hour to work." another patient said.

"I said there's no need, and I really mean it. Don't worry. We still have his banner in our office, Liu Banxia, several of them." Guan Wei said.

"It's not that it doesn't hurt at all, but I just change the dressing a bit faster, so the pain doesn't catch up." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It's been a while since I last came to change the dressing here, so put both lights behind me so I can see more clearly. Let's hurry, and have your ointment ready."

For the "old hands" among the anorectal patients, who have been through many dressing changes, they mostly have their "favorite" doctors.

But seeing the situation today, there's only Liu Banxia, all the other doctors standing behind, there's no other choice. What else can you do? Just get it done.

Grandpa Zhao once had a good saying, don't look at the advertisement, look at the efficacy.

Guan Wei's promotion is the ad, and after the first patient finished changing their dressing, they were a bit stunned, this is the efficacy.

"Really doesn't hurt?" another patient asked.

The first patient shook his head, "It does hurt a little, but it's different from the usual pain, and how come it's so fast today? Doctor, you didn't leave it unfinished, did you?"

"It wouldn't be okay to leave it unfinished. We can't keep hogging the bed, we need to serve the next patient." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"But you still need to pay attention, you tend to sweat a lot, right? You need to clean thoroughly after bowel movements, don't be perfunctory. The reason this condition doesn't heal well is because of that."

The patient nodded, acknowledging the habit of sweating excessively.

"Did you all see Teacher Liu's wrist rotation move? It's that rotation that cleans the wound faster and better." Guan Wei said.

"But it's not easy to master. I can only manage half a turn at most. Any more turns would definitely compress the wound more, causing more pain for the patient."

"Keep at it, once you master this trick of his, you'll have it made in the shade. Look, just in the time it takes to talk, another one is done. Way to go, Teacher Liu."

"That's the way it's done. In the anorectal department, you have to keep this cheerful mood." Liu Banxia said while changing a dressing.

"Anyway, changing dressings is painful, so welcome this pain with joy. Otherwise, even if you cry out, it will hurt as it should. They're no major issues, just tough it out and you'll be fine."

"In fact, being sick is inherently a tormenting thing. We can't escape it, so we must face it bravely. Oh, there's a little one here too, what a brave kid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Illness does not discriminate, anorectal diseases are no exception.

It's not just children, even little babies can have congenital anal fistulas. However, the younger they are, the quicker they tend to recover. But the pain, for children and babies, isn't as easy to tolerate.

Liu Banxia's dressing change technique could be deemed the best in the second hospital, but even after changing for this little patient, a few teardrops still fell.

This is unavoidable, pain remains pain, and the degree of pain is directly related to tolerance.

However, the results from Liu Banxia today truly impressed the interns in the anorectal department.

Everyone was always afraid of changing the dressing for this little patient, who cried for a long time with each change, and wouldn't endure the pain like an adult, often moving around, making the process much harder.

But Liu Banxia changes the dressing so quickly, even before he could move, the wound was already cleaned. While the kid was distracted, the new dressing was already inserted.

Inserting the dressing is far more comfortable than cleaning the wound, as it only serves as a drainage aid.

This stark contrast makes you have to admire. Not only does he play it cool when demonstrating in front of everyone, but Teacher Liu's skills are even more impressive during actual procedures.

Liu Banxia chatted away with everyone without missing a beat in his work. Don't be fooled by the fact he's alone here changing dressings, the overall time spent actually ended up being over ten minutes shorter than usual.

But despite all his effort, the system's rewards are pretty meager. A total of only 230 points of experience were given, the skill proficiency for dressing change only increased by 280 points, and any other rewards were hopeless to expect.

"Have you all gained some insight? So you really have to work hard." After finishing the dressings, Guan Wei said.

"You can actually do some intensive practice, come help in our emergency center and do the debridement." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Guan Wei helplessly glanced at him, "Still trying to poach people to your side?"

"This isn't poaching, this is providing them a practice zone. Otherwise, if you let them directly change dressings, the patients would be howling." Liu Banxia said.

"I'll ask Director Jiang later, arranging one day each for them over there should not be a problem." Guan Wei nodded.

That's indeed the situation, presently it's really daunting to allow them hands-on operation without proper judgment when it might lead to disputes.

Changing dressings is simple yet complex. At the moment, only Liu Banxia gets it thoroughly, others just really don't measure up.
