Chapter 951: Chapter 951: Shocked at the Municipal Hospital

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, how is the patient?"

As Liu Banxia walked out of the operating room, Xu Yino eagerly asked.

"I don’t know yet, but anyway, we’ve successfully handed over the operating table. What do you want for lunch? It’s on me, as a reward for your constructive advice," Liu Banxia said.

"Hahaha... No need, I’ll pay," Xu Yino laughed heartily and spoke generously.

"Alright, since you insist, you pay then," Liu Banxia didn’t hesitate.

It’s just a meal, not much money. It’s rare to see Xu Yino so happy; I bet she’ll energetically spread the word once we’re back at the emergency center.

Xu Yino was a bit annoyed, wondering if she got played by Liu Banxia—how did Teacher Liu agree so easily?

"What are you thinking? Quickly grab some plastic bags to pack up our lab coats. Walking out covered in blood will surely attract the police," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, do you think the patient can be saved?" Su Wenhao asked with a smile.

"Should be about right, but there’ll certainly be post-operative infection. After all, we operated on-site, and it wasn’t as stringent," Liu Banxia replied.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, I worked hard on the disinfection," Xu Yino said gleefully.

"But you did well today. You two come with me after work; let’s grab dinner," Liu Banxia said.

"Hahaha... I’ve been waiting for you to say that," Xu Yino was even happier.

But once she finished laughing, she hurriedly covered her mouth; being overly arrogant in someone else’s territory isn’t good.

"Ah, Director Xie, why are you here?" Just as they were walking out, Liu Banxia spotted Xie Chunli and quickly went to greet him.

"Qiu Wei told me, and I happened to have some time. What sensational thing have you done now?" Xie Chunli asked with a laugh.

"Nothing major, just brought over a patient from the marathon venue," Liu Banxia laughed.

"The incident location is closest to your hospital; if it were closer to ours, we wouldn’t have gotten the chance. Xu Yino, call Chief Director Xu for me, I’ll chat with Director Xie before heading back."

"Alright," Xu Yino took the phone.

"How’s the new deputy director doing?" Xie Chunli smiled.

"Walking on thin ice, not that I’m being pretentious," Liu Banxia said.

"Afraid of making even the slightest mistake, which would invite criticism. A stable two or three years might accumulate enough experience."

"Don’t give yourself too much pressure; your work has always been great," Xie Chunli said.

"I’ve discussed with Chief Director Zhou before; he’s very impressed with you. If you weren’t outstanding, he wouldn’t have promoted you to this position."

"That’s why I’m just worried about embarrassing my teachers," Liu Banxia grimaced.

"Teacher Liu, Chief Director Xu wants us back quickly; city leaders are waiting to ask about the situation," Xu Yino approached and said.

"Then you guys better head back soon; there’s nothing else for me here," Xie Chunli quickly replied.

"Alright, Director Xie, we’ll chat again when there’s a chance," Liu Banxia said.

Understandably, this is big; since it’s a city-hosted marathon, they’ll definitely want more details.

Watching the three leave, Xie Chunli was a bit confused and curious. He knew something significant must have happened, and the kid hadn’t told him the whole truth.

Let’s check the observation room to see what kind of patient it really is.

Upon entering the observation room, he was shocked. Why are there so many people in the room?

This further confirmed his thoughts. If it were an ordinary surgery, there wouldn’t be this many people here to observe.

"Old Xie, you’re here too?" Wang Zhijun, director of General Surgery at the city hospital, greeted.

"Old Wang, what happened today?" Xie Chunli asked curiously.

"It’s none other than Liu Banxia, whom you’ve talked about. He’s really something. The pulmonary artery was punctured by a rib, and he managed to repair it on-site using a stethoscope tube and a balloon," Wang Zhijun sighed.

"No wonder Second Hospital made such a fuss recently. If this happened at our city hospital, with his skills, promoting him to deputy director would make sense."

"Chief Director Zhou has indeed found a treasure. I used to think that maybe Chief Director Chen from the second hospital was just boosting him up, but having genuine skill under his belt is truly remarkable."

"See, I told you back then this kid’s skills were hard-hitting. In a few years, he’ll be standing alongside you guys, but you didn’t believe me." Xie Chunli said with a smile.

The people nearby were all shocked. Who is this hero anyway? To accomplish such extraordinary feats. It’s probably the first time these chief directors have praised someone from another department this highly, right?

"The extracorporeal circulation is ready. Now everyone can take a closer look. This is the emergency repair performed by our colleague on-site." At this moment, Qiu Wei spoke up in the operating room.

"The creativity came from pipe repair work, and the materials used were the stethoscope tube we always carry and on-site balloons."

"Some might think that such an operation isn’t very difficult, but considering the on-site environment, I admit that I couldn’t achieve this relying on my capabilities."

"From diagnosing the patient to completing repairs with the tube and balloon, the approximate time taken was 17 minutes. I arrived just as his blood vessels were beginning to detach and decided to prepare directly at the hospital."

"When I returned to the hospital, made arrangements, scrubbed up, and was dressing, he had already brought the patient over. That speed is something I can’t match."

"Even though it was on-site work, we can see from the stitch marks on the sutures, they were done very meticulously. This patient might face some postoperative complications, infections, but I must say, the on-site rescue was extremely successful."

"Even if there may be some follow-up issues, life has been preserved for the patient. Once the instruments are connected in the operating room, the patient’s vital signs have stabilized."

"Alright, I’ve got to tend to my own workload now, otherwise it wouldn’t do justice to the desperate on-site operations of our colleague. By the way, his name is Liu Banxia, the newly appointed deputy director of the second hospital’s emergency center."

After finishing, Qiu Wei went straight to work on the operating table.

Yet for the doctors watching in the observation room, their emotions were somewhat complex.

The old saying goes that colleagues are rivals; nothing could be more accurate.

Among colleagues, there’s inherently a sense of competition and comparison, and some people had heard about Liu Banxia from the second hospital’s emergency center, thinking of him as too boisterous, unaware of his limitations.

Even when the news has praised Liu Banxia to high heavens and he became the youngest deputy director at the second hospital, many just shrugged it off.

Most had similar thoughts — a young kid just finished his residency training, what kind of skills could he possibly have?

Today they witnessed it, and it truly seems those skills are real.

They didn’t see the on-site situation, but the post-operation results were visible. Even though the dissection seemed rough now, considering the time constraints, the volume of work he handled was immense. It’s truly beyond what I could accomplish.

"That kid’s skills have definitely improved much more than before," Xie Chunli remarked.

Seeing it now, he understood what was really going on. Such hazardous treatment in the present situation, achieved by Liu Banxia, really was not an easy feat.

"Old Xie, do you know this Liu Banxia well?" Wang Zhijun asked curiously.

"I know him somewhat, worked as a team twice. Once for the Jinshui District fire disaster, and another time when a patient from their hospital invited me for guidance," Xie Chunli replied.

"Last time his teacher joined us on stage for debridement, the two of us were competent enough, yet we have to admit, not as fast as that kid."

"And comparing the two instances, I could clearly sense his improvement in debridement skills. Because when I first watched him perform, his techniques were not as proficient and smooth."

"But I still feel that if I were to give it my all, I wouldn’t fall too far behind this kid. But now, I can’t compete with him, I have to call Old Zhou later and ask him to arrange a dinner."

The others, upon hearing his words, were even more amazed.

In the burn unit, it’s crucial to have skillful hands for debridement.

The better the debridement, the better the prognosis for burn patients. Xie Chunli, the leading figure in Binhai City’s burn unit, even admits now that he can’t match Liu Banxia in debridement.

What is happening here? How is Liu Banxia so exceptional?

Because they all understood, given Xie Chunli’s status and character, he wouldn’t need to say false words to flatter someone. They’re colleagues after all, acknowledging someone else’s superior skills requires great courage.

If some people still felt a little unconvinced earlier, they had no thoughts of discontent now. Are you unconvinced? Do you possess nimbleness like Director Xie?

Wait a minute, isn’t Liu Banxia supposedly from the general surgery department? But the operations today, aren’t they related to cardiovascular surgery?

It was then that people realized they had overlooked this issue led to their even greater astonishment.

Even though all are surgical doctors, there are different specialties, yet based on the on-site operation Liu Banxia performed in this surgery, he surpassed many cardiovascular surgeons.

This skill seemed to surpass his suturing and debridement techniques, making it harder for people to accept.

No wonder the chief director of the general surgery department came to watch, Liu Banxia is truly extraordinary. It probably won’t be long before, as Director Xie mentioned, he stands shoulder to shoulder with these chief directors.
