(Thanks to Rural Guardian, Hussar, and Old Huang for encouraging me with the monthly ticket)

The hospital receives many patients every day, but for today's emergency center, this patient with heat stroke is the most serious.

Compared to him, even patients with car accident fractures are nothing. They just need some internal fixation surgery and a bit more observation to prevent pulmonary embolism.

Long bone fractures indeed easily lead to pulmonary embolism, but as long as you keep a close watch and treat symptoms immediately when something seems wrong, it's usually not a big problem.

In this regard, not only the doctors in the emergency center but many nurses are also vigilant.

Other than that, there isn't much action. At the end of the shift, Liu Banxia goes home on time.

Tomorrow is the real battle, a big shift, a long-lost tough fight that must be endured. This has nothing to do with whether he's been promoted to deputy director; when it's his turn for a shift, he takes it.

"Oh my, are you two staying at my house indefinitely?"

Just as he returned home, he saw Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing sitting on the sofa, each holding two puppies.

"Haha, Teacher Liu, the puppies are just so adorable." Xu Yino said with a smile.

"Today, the teacher's wife was so generous; she gave me so many things. I also have my own little cars now. Dongfeng, Xifeng, aren't you two also very happy?"

The two puppies in his arms looked helpless. They had been played with all afternoon and couldn't even get a good nap.

"They have a variety of ways to earn money. If you two have nothing to do, you might as well stay here tonight and go to work with him tomorrow." Qiaoqiao said.

"I guess we could, but I'm afraid Teacher Liu might catch us for an assessment." Xu Yino said.

"No way, after dinner he just plays with the puppies, and he sleeps faster than anyone." Qiaoqiao said casually.

"There's no such thing as frequent assessments; now you're in the self-study stage, and you need to ask if you want to learn anything." Liu Banxia said.

"Alright, wash your hands, let's have dinner." Auntie Tong called out.

Although today isn't as significant as yesterday, there are still two guests – Liu Banxia's students, and today's meal is equally abundant.

Seeing them start eating, the four puppies were delighted, scampering over with their tiny legs and then snuggling together to sleep.

"Looks like they can finally settle down a bit tonight." Liu Banxia said.

"How can they be so cute? I really don't have the time, otherwise, I'd want to raise one too." Liu Yiqing said.

"Just think about it; taking care of them is way more exhausting than taking care of yourself." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"By the way, Teacher Liu, what exactly was wrong with that little baby today, does he have a thymoma?" Xu Yino asked.

"Botulinum toxin Type B poisoning, it was quite dangerous, and the baby was already in respiratory distress." Liu Banxia said.

"Oh my god, were they resuscitated?" Liu Yiqing asked in shock.

"Botulinum toxin for injection? How did it end up in the baby?" Qiaoqiao chimed in.

"No, it wasn't for injection, just pure botulinum toxin." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Just like on our cutting board and knives, they probably also have it. That's why they promote cutting cooked meat and raw vegetables separately nowadays, to prevent bacterial spread."

"The discovery was timely, and the targeted medication worked well. The tube was removed in the afternoon, and the baby is in good spirits. After all, it's a little baby, so they'll observe for two more days in the hospital."

"You saved them, right?" Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.

Liu Banxia nodded proudly.

Qiaoqiao was really happy. Whether it was for facial injection or whatever bacteria, that wasn't important; what mattered was that Liu Banxia succeeded in treating the case.

Then she grabbed a spoon and scooped a serving of cumin chicken cartilage for Liu Banxia, saving him the trouble of picking each piece.

"Banxia, is botulinum toxin really that dangerous?" Liu Qingdong asked.

"It can be considered dangerous, but often when it affects adults, it just causes intestinal reactions. If the diagnosis is timely after reaching the hospital, there's usually no problem." Liu Banxia said.

"A little baby can't even speak. A tiny bit of botulinum toxin infection from nature can cause big problems."

"Don't worry too much; we actually ingest a lot of bacteria in our daily life. But our intestines also have a lot of bacterial flora, so general bacteria aren't a problem."

"These days, we should still be careful when going out, avoid being in the sun for long, and rehydrate in time. Cases of heatstroke have been on the rise; today there was another heat stroke patient."

"Sent to the ICU, and although the temperature has been reduced now, it will take days to adjust liver and kidney functions. Their company is still in dispute, as they're temporary workers, and two months' wages were supposed to cover heat protection."

"They were trying to save on transportation costs but almost cost their lives. It's going to cost quite a bit now. Dad, Mom, you both also need to be careful when going home; use the air conditioning if needed, otherwise, Qiaoqiao's effort in installing it would be wasted."

"We don't really work much, nor do we sweat much," Peng Xiuqin said.

"We should still turn it on. Qiaoqiao installed it for us, it's her gesture. It's already been set up, can't just stare at the air conditioning every day," Liu Qingdong replied.

"That's right. It's only hot for this period, using the air conditioning won't cost much. You won't keep it at an extremely low temperature anyway, it's fine," Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"We've reached an age where we should enjoy ourselves. Once these little ones are born, we'll be really busy," Qiao Xuezhi chimed in.

"Let's listen to Qiaoqiao, it really is quite hot this summer," Liu Fengxia agreed.

The atmosphere was great, always warm and welcoming in this household.

Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing didn't hold back, enjoying the delicious food wholeheartedly. No worries about going back home at night, it was better to stay here.

"Before you have any free time, think about which direction you'd like to develop in the future," Liu Banxia said after dinner.

"Ma'am, see? I told you Teacher Liu would give a lesson after dinner," Xu Yino whispered to Liu Banxia.

"I can't really intervene; it's all about your future," Qiaoqiao said.

"See? That's my wife," Liu Banxia said happily.

"We actually have a lot of surgical projects in general surgery, but now that there's urology, surgeries related to the kidneys and prostate have to be reassigned."

"Even so, there's still plenty left for us to choose from. It's better to decide early, focus on one first, then think about the others."

"Just because you make a choice doesn't mean you can't do other surgeries. You need to perform all kinds of surgeries, or your skills could get rusty, and you might not perform emergency surgeries well."

"Teacher Liu, honestly, I haven't thought it through," Liu Yiqing said.

"You're falling into a misunderstanding," Liu Banxia responded.

"Prioritizing now doesn't mean choosing one and discarding another; it's just about determining the order. In our emergency center, being comprehensive is key."

"Don't always burden yourself with too much pressure. I can give you pressure, but don't pressure yourselves further. You are all great prospects, take your time."

"I've always dared to say that as long as all six of you want to learn, there's no surgery you can't master, just a matter of time."

"I talked to Dr. Shi, Su Wenhao's approach is quite similar to his, so he'll take him under his wing more. But talking is one thing; I'll still guide him myself."

"Same principles as taking one area first and then moving onto the rest. Our Tang Dou eats meat slowly, not wolfing down like other dogs."

When Tang Dou heard his name mentioned, he trotted over, sat on the ground, and rested his head on Liu Banxia's leg.

"Teacher Liu, should we focus first on the gastrointestinal area?" Xu Yino asked tentatively.

"You're always scheming. Even with TEM or NOSES surgeries, you need to seize opportunities to observe them. I'll keep the surgery recordings," Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino felt a bit embarrassed; she had indeed been thinking about it.

"Alright, are we done with serious talk for now?" Qiaoqiao asked.

Liu Banxia nodded, "It's all you can do when one is crafty and the other is goofy. Other than sympathizing with patients, she doesn't have a mind of her own."

The goofy one was naturally Liu Yiqing, who didn't mind, as she'd been called silly many times before.

"How about we play a game of knotting? I'll string two lines, one in each hand, how does that sound?" Liu Banxia said with a smile.

The two girls wisely shook their heads.

"Sister Nuo, sister Qing, what's up? Why not compete with brother-in-law?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"Compete with him? That's asking for embarrassment; he's excellent with both hands," Xu Yino said with a frown.

"Ah..., won't tell you about bloody scenes; anyways, he can hold a surgical knife in each hand and make two equally perfect incisions."

"Wow, brother-in-law, you're so amazing? Did you learn from Zhou Botong?" Qiao Yu brightened up.

"It was just that one time, it happened by chance," Liu Banxia said.

"But now, the dexterity and speed of my hands are indeed quite good. At least I can handle heavy work lightly, though not light work heavily."

"Even our Chief Director praised these hands, said they look better than mine," Xu Yino said jealously.

"Envy won't help; train yourself. We'll start a new phase of training; tomorrow we'll use small chopsticks for meals and order dishes like peanuts and beans," Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino's face fell; she knew Liu Banxia wasn't joking and would indeed put them through such a tough regimen.

Blame herself for provoking this big demon.
