"Director, did you call for me?"

After arriving at Zhou Shuwen's office, Liu Banxia asked.

"Have you noticed that you might have some small problems recently?" Zhou Shuwen asked.

Liu Banxia was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and sat down properly to the side, "Teacher, I also feel like I might really have some small problems. Now I get anxious more easily, and sometimes I overthink things."

"Yesterday during my break, I totally relaxed and had fun with Qiaoqiao for most of the day, which also eased my mind a bit. Actually, the night before, I was so troubled that I couldn't sleep, I even thought menopause was coming early."

Zhou Shuwen laughed, "It's good that you know there's a problem. It's actually very common, probably because of too much stress. There's the pressure you put on yourself, and the pressure we put on you too."

"Under normal circumstances, the scope of your work and your promotion speed wouldn't be this fast. We didn't quite think it through back then, but to ensure your smooth promotion to deputy director, let me give you half a day off this afternoon."

"Huh? Teacher, it's fine, I can sort this out myself, no need for time off." Liu Banxia quickly said.

Zhou Shuwen took a business card from the drawer and handed it to him, "Contact this person, a disciple of Chief Director Li's classmate. Go for some stress-relief psychological counseling, I wouldn't bother with this for others."

"Teacher, are you saying I have a psychological disorder?" Liu Banxia grinned.

"You're still a doctor, why are you avoiding getting treated when you're sick? Does seeing a psychologist mean you have a psychological disorder?" Zhou Shuwen glared at him.

"This is psychological counseling, many large enterprises have their own psychologists. Many important management personnel also undergo corresponding psychological counseling."

"Go back to work, I don't have time to chat with you. Go this afternoon, and after you're done, go straight home. If there's work, hand it off to Shi Lei."

Liu Banxia could only nod, taking the business card and reluctantly leaving.

In his heart, he was quite depressed. Just a few days ago, he was playing the role of a psychologist, but it turned out he needed one himself.

"What's up? Why the long face? You haven't made any mistakes recently, have you?" Shi Lei asked curiously.

"The thing is, the director said I have the afternoon off, to go see a psychologist." Liu Banxia replied.

Shi Lei was also taken aback, then slowly broke into a wide smile.

"Could you be a little less unscrupulous?" Liu Banxia said gloomily.

"You know, we've also noticed you've seemed a bit off lately. Though you've always been quite a character, you've been carefree before." Shi Lei laughed.

"No wonder the three directors gathered for half a day yesterday, must have been discussing you. Go ahead, and tell us how it feels when you get back, it's also educational."

"You're such a jerk." Liu Banxia gave him a look.

"How am I a jerk? Guan Wei said you're treating us to lunch, so I had to join as well." Shi Lei said.

"Any good news?" Chen Xuehai chimed in.

"Can't say, but I'll treat you to lunch, okay?" Liu Banxia quickly added.

"Then it's settled." Shi Lei said with a smile.

"What's going on?" Chen Xuehai became even more curious.

"Comrade Old Chen, even when there're no surgeries, you should research the cases of patients waiting for surgery and discuss surgical plans." Liu Banxia said.

"Oh, sorry, I've handled all my current patients. Unless there's an emergency surgery in the coming days, I really don't have anything going on." Chen Xuehai replied.

"Are you treating us to a meal? If you truly treat us, I won't pry any further. If not, I'll have Linlin ask around. Gotta know what's up."

Liu Banxia felt powerless, "We'll eat, we have to eat, and not just a little bit."

Chen Xuehai nodded with satisfaction, strolling away hands behind his back, nearly humming a tune.

Being teased by Liu Banxia often, he finally caught a chance to take advantage. Regardless of the reason, scoring a meal was a success.

Liu Banxia felt a bit troubled; did he really have a psychological issue now? It shouldn't be, he was cheerful every day, just occasionally got anxious about patients' conditions.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, the gene test results are out. It can be diagnosed as Very Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCADD)."

Liu Banxia was still thinking when Miao Rui ran over joyfully.

Ding! Task of the strange drunken patient completed

Gained 300 Experience Points, Glory Points +2

This task was rated as Flawless, gaining 400 Experience Points, Glory Points 3 + 3

"Has Dr. Zhang been notified? Then explain to his parents what this illness is and how to manage it in the future." Liu Banxia said.

It left Miao Rui confused, this is different from the morning's situation. What's up with Teacher Liu? The TEM surgery today was very successful.

But he didn't dare ask too much, at most he made a big question mark in his mind, and he still had to explain the situation to the family of the patient.

Now the patient's illness is truly diagnosed, although it cannot be completely cured, it can be adjusted through daily diet.

Regarding Liu Banxia's abnormality, after explaining, he should ask Xu Yino for more information. Currently, it's best not to provoke the big boss.

"By the way, there's another thing. Tomorrow is the day for the rest of the resident doctors to report, keep it in mind," Shi Lei came over again.

"Isn't it just normal reporting?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Normal is fine, there will be a lot of people to order around; we're doing really well here," Shi Lei said.

"I just heard them say you did a successful surgery. When will you apply for two sets of equipment, take care of TEM and NOSES together?"

"You have that idea too?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

It was just joking previously, but now it's a serious conversation.

Shi Lei nodded, "Indeed, I have this idea. Now patients have higher demands for medical methods. Many patients aren't short on money, so even if the surgery is a bit expensive, as long as they think it's fine, they'll choose it."

"And since you're going to study it, it's inappropriate for us to be too outdated. Although these surgeries have a lot of literature and documentation, they differ a lot in practical operation on patients."

"Yes, because the training cycle is too long, that's why such surgical methods haven't truly been promoted," Liu Banxia said.

"I'll apply in a few days. Actually, I also want to track the situation of the patient I had today. If the prognosis is good, I can open my mouth."

"If nothing's going on tonight, shall we go to Jinbao for dinner? I've decided to splurge," Shi Lei said.

"Why? If you're inviting me to dinner, it doesn't have to be Jinbao, just find a place, you're taking it too seriously," Liu Banxia said.

"Moreover, if you go to Jinbao, I still have to pay! Although it's Qiaoqiao's money, it's still our family's money. With discounts and freebies, there's no profit."

"Nonsense, if it wasn't for this, would I dare plan it?" Shi Lei said.

"It's settled then, when you're done this afternoon, pick up Qiaoqiao and wait at Jinbao. If there's no emergency surgery after work, I'll go straight there."

"Alright, alright, since you're so sincere about getting a free dinner out of me, what else can I do?" Liu Banxia shrugged.

"Oh, congratulations, congratulations, TEM went very successfully," Wang Chao came over.

"You keep him company, I have to tidy up the medical records," Shi Lei said.

"What's up, did you guys have a secret talk?" Wang Chao asked curiously.

"I'm inviting him to dinner, why don't you come too? The evening meal," Shi Lei said.

"You guys are cruel, why didn't you invite me before I was promoted to chief resident? Now I can't manage my time," Wang Chao said bitterly.

Shi Lei laughed heartily and left, feeling pleased.

"Have you heard any new news recently?" Liu Banxia asked.

Wang Chao shook his head blankly, "Recently, everything has been calm, there's no new news. But your successful surgery is new news, right?"

"In the future, there's a new option for radical surgery on rectal cancer patients. I checked, and it seems TEM tumor radical surgery greatly improves chances of sphincter preservation."

"Actually, it's all similar, just that the specimen retrieval method is different," Liu Banxia said.

"Whether the sphincter can be preserved depends on the location and infiltration degree of the tumor. Many times, our visual estimate differs greatly, and after pathology, there's still the need to remove the sphincter."

Wang Chao nodded, "Currently, it's a bit tough discussing with patients sometimes. From the perspective of radical cancer treatment, sphincter removal seems quite good."

"But currently, these are statistical data. Data is sometimes just a reference. You go ahead, congratulations again. Let me see your work next time you have a chance."

"Don't worry, but for now there's none. Can't always borrow from the colorectal surgery department; once we get our own, we can study it thoroughly," Liu Banxia smiled.

Wang Chao was very happy.

Anyway, he already decided to follow Liu Banxia. As long as Liu Banxia can do a surgery, he will try to master it, even pestering him.

Of course, just trying.

He's aware of his own abilities; some surgeries he can't handle even if given a chance. He can't compare with Liu Banxia and shouldn't set too high a standard for himself.

With Wang Chao chatting with him for a bit, Liu Banxia felt a bit more relaxed.

Despite having "psychological problems," he was still very resistant. Even the so-called stress relief, he felt he didn't need it.

However, since Zhou Shuwen arranged this task, he must complete it resolutely, because it's a concern from his teacher.
