The dinner last night was incredibly successful, and Liu Banxia was utterly delighted. It felt like all the anxiety from recent times had turned to dust and vanished with a gentle breeze.

After parking the car, Liu Banxia energetically walked into the emergency center.

"Teacher Liu, there were so many delicious dishes yesterday, and we didn't get to eat any of them." Just as he walked in, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing blocked his way together.

"You have to be free for that, right? I can't let you skip work just to eat, can I?" Liu Banxia replied.

"Aren't you guys off tomorrow? You can go have a meal yourselves. Just mention Qiaoqiao, she'll sort it better than I can. I'm just the boss's husband after all."

"Haha, Teacher Liu, we've already told the boss's wife, and we'll all go out and have fun tomorrow." Liu Yiqing said with a cheerful smile.

"Enough about that, how's the patient from the TEM surgery?" Liu Banxia asked.

"The pathology results confirm it's endometriosis, and currently everything is going well. We'll start with some liquid food this morning." Xu Yino said.

"What about the patient with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

"Their vital signs have significantly improved. They should be able to leave the ICU this afternoon." Liu Yiqing replied.

"Then there's nothing else to worry about; I'll go change my clothes first." Liu Banxia nodded.

These two patients are the ones he's currently most concerned about. As long as there are no issues with them, he doesn't have to worry as much.

As for the other patients, they all underwent routine surgeries. As long as no one reports any abnormalities to him, they are recovering normally. You can't rush these things; every surgery needs its recovery process.

"I'm really envious of the food. The day after tomorrow you are on duty, right? Can I take a day off?" Wang Chao leaned into the changing room.

"Sure, just mark the key patients for me then." Liu Banxia replied.

"That's more like it. My envy didn't go to waste." Wang Chao said.

"You should take a break as well. Although we have more patients now, we also have more doctors." Liu Banxia said.

"Today we have the trainee doctors joining, so we'll have even more hands on deck. We should utilize them; it's also an opportunity for them to gain experience."

"Ah...I still haven't fully adjusted to life as a resident." Wang Chao said.

"Nothing going on with you? I bet the meal was great yesterday? It's a bit depressing to think about; once you become a resident, do you lose your personal life?"

"Haha, hang in there, this is just the beginning." Liu Banxia said with a laugh, patting him on the shoulder.

"I'll head up to the VIP section first. We have to give them special attention. Since there's a VIP ward, we need to provide extra care so they feel their money is well spent."

Wang Chao laughed; indeed, that's how it should be thought of.

This is not just about generating revenue for the emergency center; it's also about maintaining personal relationships.

"Hey Rou, how are you feeling today?" Liu Banxia warmly greeted as he entered Rou's room.

"Today feels good, but I'm still having some trouble breathing freely, and there's a bit of chest tightness." Rou said.

"Are you also feeling inexplicably happy in spirit?" Liu Banxia continued to ask.

Rou nodded, "Seems like it a little."

"Is this a normal reaction?" Bao Chunlai asked with some concern.

"It's a normal drug reaction; we'll switch the medication today. No wonder the medication worked so well, it might be related to a heightened drug sensitivity." Liu Banxia replied.

"After all, it's a type of steroid medication, usually only causing such feelings after long-term use. Symptoms like chest tightness, weight gain, swelling, euphoria, excitement, and restlessness are usually more marked, but it has stabilized now, so switching to another medication should be fine."

Bao Chunlai felt somewhat relieved hearing this.

As they had been advised when starting the medication, they were told to report any abnormalities to the nurse and contact the doctor immediately.

"The adjustment period for this condition is relatively long, but after a few more days of observation in the hospital, she can go home and recuperate on her own." Liu Banxia continued to explain.

"That's great because even though I know Rou is getting better day by day, staying in the hospital doesn't compare to the comfort of being at home." Bao Chunlai said.

"After going home, it's also possible to see a psychology counselor and talk it out. I didn't used to give it much thought, but recently, given my own complicated situation, I tried it once yesterday, and it worked quite well." Liu Banxia said.

"Rou's main task moving forward is to maintain a good mood and work on adjusting her body. There will be some minor side effects from the medication, but there's no need to worry; they'll gradually fade once the medication is stopped."

"As for other aspects, there's really nothing more. Once the acute phase is over, we've already achieved significant success. The rest are minor issues, nothing we can't handle."

Rou nodded with a smile, clearly in good spirits.

This time, Bao Chunlai personally escorted them to the front of the ward and even took Tian Yu's contact information on the way.

Although the time of contact was not long, through my own observation and Qiu Huaili's introduction, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of Liu Banxia.

I know that when Liu Banxia mentioned psychological counseling, it was a deliberate introduction. Plus, he is very genuine. Since he brought it up, it must be of a high standard.

After wandering around here, Liu Banxia went over to the VIP room of the patient with steroid abuse.

It's the same recovery period for them, but the atmosphere in this room was quite different.

"You're recovering well. How do you feel?" Liu Banxia asked after the examination.

"Uncomfortable," the patient responded.

"Being sick, of course, you're uncomfortable," Liu Banxia said.

"Today, I'll talk to Dr. Wu from our urology department to see if he has time to conduct a related examination. There will certainly be some impact, but it may not be as severe as we imagine."

"The reason we didn't conduct an examination in the past two days is because he is in the recovery period. The surgery wasn't minor, but the foundation of his health is still there, so there's no need to worry too much."

This could be considered a kind lie, but realistically, there is a reason to be worried.

However, in his current condition, he cannot be subjected to too much pressure. Mood is important, and if he's in a bad mood, the wound healing will not go smoothly.

"How's Chairman Bao's daughter doing?" The patient's father asked.

"She is also in the recovery period right now, and her overall recovery will take a while. Even after discharge, medication adherence will be necessary," Liu Banxia said.

"It's the same for Bei. Even after discharge, attention to diet, mood adjustment, and physical strengthening are necessary. Come out with me, I'll explain the medication for the next few days to you."

The patient's father looked surprised and nodded.

"Dr. Liu, is there any other issue?" the patient's father asked once they were outside.

"Bei's physical condition is fine; it's more about his psychological state," Liu Banxia replied.

"I'm sure you've said some resentful things in the past few days. Despite his age, he's still a child. Given the special nature of this situation, focus on encouragement."

"Sigh… I actually wanted to talk to you about this earlier. Dr. Liu, tell me the truth, will it affect his fertility?" the patient's father asked.

"Without testing, how could we know for sure? The one thing I can confirm is that there will be some effect, nothing more," Liu Banxia said.

"Don't dwell too much on these things; focus on your child's health first. He's already sensitive, and more pressure from you will only increase his burden."

"I will contact them soon, and a comprehensive examination will be done today or tomorrow. This will also give you peace of mind. His medication period wasn't long, just a bit excessive."

"Thank you, Dr. Liu," the patient's father said.

"Ah… no need to be so polite with me. In the future, pay more attention to his life. Young people's self-restraint is generally weaker," Liu Banxia said.

"Wait for my message. I'll deal with it right away. Don't put any more pressure on him, even if you're angry, try and manage it, or take a walk outside if necessary."

The patient's father nodded.

To him, it really was infuriating. But these matters, he truly didn't understand, as it was all indulged by his wife.

Liu Banxia didn't say anything further and returned directly to the lobby.

"Wow, so many patients came in such a short time?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Today is quite strange; there are more orthopedic patients than usual. Do you want to go over and lend a hand?" Qi Wentai asked with a smile.

"Better not. Orthopedics is quite strong now. Even if I went, I would just be waiting for X-rays and CT scans. I might as well stay put," Liu Banxia shook his head.

While he also bore the responsibility of "firefighting," it's different now. Each department has increased its personnel. Even with more patients these past few days, it hasn't reached an overwhelming level.

At this moment, his phone rang. Seeing it was Wu Mingyu calling, he walked directly into the orthopedic clinic.

"I thought you were upstairs. Help me with this case. A 13-year-old boy suddenly became paralyzed in the lower limbs," Wu Mingyu said.

"The initial examination revealed nothing abnormal; he was sent for an MRI. Even though my orthopedic techniques aren't as nimble as yours, I can handle it to a certain extent. The child hasn't had any trauma; he just woke up like this," Wu Mingyu explained.

"You're the expert here. Could it be an intramedullary tumor?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Doesn't seem likely. If it were a tumor, there would be symptoms of discomfort. After all, a tumor can't grow overnight. There's no history of trauma, and the skin is intact, so it's unlikely to be a hematoma," Wu Mingyu said.

"Alright, then I'll wait here for a bit. I thought you were going to drag me into some black-market work. It's rare to have a day with nothing much to do," Liu Banxia nodded.

"Haha, I can't be exploiting you all the time. Just help me with this case in a bit," Wu Mingyu laughed.
