Chapter 953: Chapter 953: The Returned Giant Tumor Patient

Also because of the sudden event, Liu Banxia and his team’s work became much more relaxed.

There weren’t many contestants left, so having the volunteers manage things a bit more could greatly enhance safety.

The lunch boxes were pretty good, with meat, vegetables, drinks, and a chicken drumstick. But Xu Yino still treated everyone to fried chicken, happy times! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Moreover, given Liu Banxia’s appetite, one lunch box wasn’t really enough for him.

"Okay, we should leave now; this task is completed successfully." After receiving the message to leave, Liu Banxia waved his hand grandly.

"Haha, it seems like we didn’t do much later on. Just ate lunch and took a short break." Xu Yino said with a grin.

"Our work is relatively easy, but the volunteers have heavier tasks." Liu Banxia said.

"Besides, it’s only the early and mid-stages where issues are likely; by the late stage, basically nothing happens. Otherwise, if accidents kept happening, who would dare host marathons in the future?"

"Also, that patient hasn’t been discharged yet; dealing with him seems rather troublesome, his left lung can’t be saved. Perhaps my technique was too rough during the procedure, not careful enough."

"There was really no choice; many operations were done by feel, just going on instinct and cutting without visibility."

"Teacher Liu, can you perform an appendectomy with your eyes closed?" Su Wenhao curiously asked.

"Oh, even our honest one has become curious. The correct answer is: no." Liu Banxia laughed.

"The entire surgical procedure involves too many key points, and although it seems like a very routine minor surgery to you now, the coordination between eye and hand is important."

"Think about it later; we should also provide basic knowledge of small incision appendectomy to the resident and intern doctors. After all, coming to learn here at least means mastering this skill."

The two nodded in agreement; they were already competent in spreading basic knowledge. This could be considered a yield from Liu Banxia’s intensive training—a bit of pressure makes diamonds.

Their mood was quite upbeat; following the assignment had truly been an insightful experience. Exposure is a learning process, and how much is absorbed depends on individual capacity.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."

As the three of them stepped into the emergency center hall, a round of applause greeted them.

"What’s this for? It must be Wang Chao stirring things up. The patient hasn’t been discharged yet; there’s plenty of time to celebrate after." Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Even if the patient isn’t discharged, your operations were impressive." Wang Chao replied.

"You don’t know, the director was so happy. We bumped into him at lunch, and even got a couple of extra dishes. Well done, Director Liu, keep it up like this."

Liu Banxia rolled his eyes, "Auntie Zheng said I should keep an eye on you."

Hearing this, Wang Chao’s face turned sour.

"Teacher Wang, Auntie Zheng seems very nice, showing care for us." Xu Yino said.

"That’s for you guys; at home, I’m constantly under tyranny, suffering greatly. Director Liu, let’s find Director Zhou." Wang Chao shook his head.

Liu Banxia nodded, found a lab coat in the rest room, put it on, and knocked on Zhou Shuwen’s office door.

"Director, the marathon rescue task is successfully completed." Liu Banxia said as he entered.

Zhou Shuwen smiled and nodded, "I received many calls at noon saying I’ve struck gold. You’ve performed excellently, keep up the good work."

"Director, I’m feeling a bit anxious now. The operations were really out of options; otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it that way." Liu Banxia said.

"No need to be humble; everyone saw what you did. However, I called you over not for this matter; take a look at this patient’s film." Zhou Shuwen said.

Liu Banxia stood up, looked at the computer screen, and frowned, "This is the patient I mentioned to you last time, who needs a liver autograft to remove the tumor, right?"

Zhou Shuwen nodded, "Admitted this morning, surgery planned for the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Director, isn’t his tumor developing a bit too fast? I thought it was large last time, but it seems even bigger now, pushing other organs." Liu Banxia said.

"It has indeed progressed quickly; after much hesitation, surgery is decided." Zhou Shuwen said.

"However, the surgery is highly complex; the liver must be removed for autograft, otherwise the massive tumor can’t be handled."

"If you’re available the day after tomorrow, observe the procedure. Shi Lei will be first assistant to gain practical experience. You have better comprehension, so even observing will be educational."

Liu Banxia nodded, "No problem, I’ll take a look at the patient’s actual situation later. Actually, many times, as long as you observe carefully, it’s okay to just be an intern."

"You know what, let the six little ones go in and take a look too. Transplant surgeries aren’t common, let alone such liver autotransplant surgeries."

"Okay, just make the arrangements directly, don’t delay the emergency center’s admissions," Zhou Shuwen said with a smile.

Everyone loves their own kids, Liu Banxia has also put a lot of effort into the six little ones. He’s interning for this surgery, but still helping them get the opportunity.

And he’s very satisfied with Liu Banxia’s recent response.

As a mentor to both Liu Banxia and Shi Lei, he needs to balance teaching resources. In this matter, Liu Banxia has taken a small loss. Normally, Liu Banxia should be the first assistant for this surgery, but now he’s only observing.

The things he said were his reasoning. Since Liu Banxia learns quickly, let’s let him take a small loss and give Shi Lei the learning opportunity.

Liu Banxia had no hesitation or unwillingness, and accepted this arrangement very candidly, which was great.

After all, resources for high-end surgeries are limited, and patients like this one might not come up for a long time again.

Moreover, he can see confidence on Liu Banxia’s face, which comes from strong self-assurance. Even just observing can teach him a lot, enriching his knowledge of liver transplant surgeries, which is great.

This is what he’s most gratified about, because Liu Banxia has truly come out of the influence from earlier.

He said at that time, he’d rather see a more bold Liu Banxia than one who adds pressure to himself unnecessarily.

Mentality makes a difference, the results you achieve in work and study vary based on your mindset. If your mentality is good, you can truly focus without distractions.

Coming out from Zhou Shuwen’s office, Liu Banxia’s expression remained unchanged. He could calmly accept Zhou Shuwen’s arrangement.

Of course, he hoped to be able to operate on stage too. But since Zhou Shuwen made the arrangement, he would just follow orders.

To be honest, Zhou Shuwen has already tilted resources too much towards him. Without him, the deputy director position would have gone to Shi Lei.

No one has to worry whether they can do the job well, whoever gets the task will do it well.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, do you remember the big group I created back then? Wow, it’s blowing up." Xu Yino came running excitedly.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"Of course it is! Just look, there are already tons of messages. Anyway, I’ve read from start to finish," Xu Yino said joyfully.

"No wonder, a lot of praises for you," Liu Banxia glanced over.

"It’s not really like that, I’m only mentioned along the way, the praise for you is overwhelming. After tonight’s news, this is another big event," Xu Yino said.

"Now many of them have gone to other cities for work, the spread is definitely wider than news. They’re so envious of us, hahahaha."

"If you can maintain it, keep it up, but relationships will only fade over time," Liu Banxia said.

"Just like our class group back then, we could chat lively right after graduation. In less than half a year, it was a half-dead group. Now? It seems like there hasn’t been a decent message for over a year."

"That’s true, Teacher Liu, I’ve never heard of you having any class reunions?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"There aren’t really many class reunions. Once you’re doing this doctor job, everyone gets really busy," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"And generally, such things are only organized by those who are doing well. For someone like me who’s been tricked and bullied, even if you give me money, I wouldn’t dare organize. Don’t speak of organizing, I’m embarrassed to go."

Xu Yino stuck out her tongue, indeed, Teacher Liu does have quite a few embarrassing tales.

"Alright, follow me upstairs for more massage treatment on Wu Shaoming. Also fell into Tang Feifei’s trap, I barely earn anything from this daily treatment," Liu Banxia grumbled.

"By the way, contact Liang Xiaolin later, see if she’s available this evening. If she’s free, you guys can come over to my place for dinner."

"Okay, leave it to me," Xu Yino nodded happily.

Even though Qing Kewa wasn’t included in the six little ones, she studied medicine at the same time and got along well during the time in the emergency center.

This visit isn’t easy either, if everyone has time to gather, it’s really very nice.

Consider it a team-building, we’ve been working tirelessly for so long, we really need to organize some relaxation time.
