"I’m just puzzled, why do you keep staring at me?" After finishing the meal, Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, I wonder if it’s convenient to ask you a question?" Xu Yino said.

"Not convenient, I’m eating, definitely not convenient," Liu Banxia said without thinking.

This amused everyone a lot, Director Liu sure doesn’t play by the rules.

"Oh well, whether it’s convenient or not, I’m going to ask straight away. Can you remain very calm when seeing patients most of the time?" Xu Yino asked.

She’s not one to back down easily, the more you refuse her, the more she wants to ask.

Upon hearing this seemingly innocuous question, everyone paid more attention.

"Isn’t that a basic requirement for us? If you’re not calm during surgery, that won’t do." Liu Banxia said casually.

"Nope, your answer is too perfunctory, I’ll give you a chance to answer again," Wu Mingyu said.

Liu Banxia looked at him with a helpless smile, "Even if I answer again, it’s the same, isn’t it? Not being calm won’t work. But of course, I’m anxious, especially during rescues; saying I’m not anxious would be a lie."

"Oh, I’m more interested in when you’re seeing patients, not when you’re on stage," Xu Yino said.

"Often, the angle at which you consider problems is different from ours. I’ve been pondering, unless you consider it objectively, otherwise, it won’t be like this."

She was genuinely curious, switching between ’you’ and ’you formally’, seriously curious about this question.

"Well, about this, how should I say it, control as much as possible. What else can be done? Bringing in more personal feelings won’t solve the problem and might affect judgments about the patient," Liu Banxia thought for a moment and said.

"But before you brought it up, I hadn’t really thought about it. Previously, it wasn’t quite like this; could it be because I’ve seen too many patients and become indifferent and unfeeling?"

Wu Mingyu shook his head, "That’s not it. Indifference is ignoring the patient, that’s called indifference. Indifference and calmness are two different things."

"Just like today’s emergency surgery, if it were someone else, they might not have dared to let Li Hao and Huang Bo be the main surgeons. Although the trauma wasn’t very severe, the patient’s overall condition was very dangerous."

"But you dared, and it wasn’t because you’re reckless but because of your understanding of their strength; it’s also the confidence that comes from self-assuredness."

"Including what you feel is calmness too, because you’re very confident, so you can maintain a calm heart in any situation."

"In any case, if it were me being complained about by the patient’s family, I would definitely want to discuss it with them properly. If it were the old you, you would have needed to discuss it properly too."

"But this time, there was none of that. You just handled it calmly, and did what needed to be done; the complaint affected you almost not at all."

"So, have you all joined the praise group? Praising me is pointless; you’re not even from general surgery," Liu Banxia said.

"Just saying some unimportant things, yet you’re a director," Wu Mingyu said.

"Now I understand why Director Xu always holds you in high regard; the key is this mindset. Not sure if it’s cultivated over time with many emergency patients or from skill enhancement."

"This kind of cultivation is not easy, to speak with elegance, it’s having the demeanor of a general; that’s my feeling anyway."

The people nearby nodded in agreement, seems like that’s the situation.

Liu Banxia felt a bit hopeless about this "mindset"; the fundamental reason is the support given by the system.

Whether seeing patients or researching NOSES surgery or other surgical techniques, without the system, he’d be at a loss.

The system seems to just strengthen his various attributes, but this enhancement is comprehensive.

When the system had a big upgrade, he was somewhat flustered.

This alerted him to further strengthen his solidified skills, he must work hard to accumulate Glory Points and use them soonest.

This should be the system’s ultimate goal in cultivating him because various attributes are fundamental, and these fundamentals support his ability to perform difficult operations.

Moreover, he firmly believes that the boosted points after solidification are much more powerful than the ones he himself adds.

He has no theoretical basis; it’s just his intuition. Only after using solidified skills can he have a concrete feeling.

A bit of talk, and the meal was finished. Returning to the hall, he saw Du Fancheng chatting with Wang Chao.

"Today’s evaluation result of that child was good?" Liu Banxia asked.

Du Fancheng nodded with a smile, "Also got some insights from Xu Yino, I personally feel the child is very likely to undergo cochlear implant surgery."

"Moreover, according to our province’s latest healthcare policy, his condition qualifies for major illness assistance, being bilateral severe sensorineural hearing loss."

"This reduces the cost of implantation compared to before, otherwise, the price of a cochlear implant, even a domestic one, would be quite burdensome."

"I haven’t paid much attention to this, as I haven’t seriously dealt with it," Liu Banxia said.

"Actually, it’s a minor surgery, should be done in a little over an hour. Now it depends on the result of their communication, but I feel the child’s father is genuinely moved." Du Fancheng said with a smile.

"That’s really good news, otherwise it would be quite a hefty expense for their family. Life is truly much better these days, with more welfare policies to enjoy." Liu Banxia nodded.

"Director Liu, these are the relatives of the emergency patient you saw today." At this moment, Nurse Zhou Qian brought a group over.

"Hello." Liu Banxia greeted them.

"Director Liu, thank you so much. Otherwise, our child might not have made it." The patient’s father said.

"You’re being too kind. It wasn’t just me who saved him, I was merely assisting today. Everyone worked hard together, especially Dr. Wu Xiaoyue from Cardiology, who managed the cardiac arrest during the operation." Liu Banxia replied.

"It’s unfortunate that the bleeding time was too long, and we couldn’t save the leg. After fitting a prosthetic, there will be a period of adaptation and adjustment needed."

"It’s better like this, at least he won’t run around recklessly and get himself killed somewhere without anyone to collect his body." The patient’s father said, obviously angry.

"The child is already like this, almost lost his life, what good does it do to say that now?" The patient’s mother interjected.

"Let’s not get too emotional. For now, his recovery should be the top priority." Liu Banxia interrupted.

"He hasn’t truly passed the danger period yet, so you must prepare for long-term care. In my experience, even the most optimistic individuals need a lengthy adaptation process after losing a limb."

"Particularly after getting a prosthetic, there might be phantom limb pain. This is difficult to manage and can cause significant distress to the patient."

"If the prognosis is good, he might be awakened by tomorrow afternoon or the morning after. Let’s save the scolding for when he fully recovers. What he needs now is encouragement."

"Thank you, Director Liu. You heard that, let’s listen to Director Liu." The patient’s mother said.

"Sigh... it’s just one worrisome thing after another." The patient’s father sighed.

"Try not to get too worked up. He’ll receive proper treatment in our ICU. You just need to settle down and keep your phone accessible." Liu Banxia advised.

The child’s father nodded, thanked them again, and then left.

"Sigh... no matter if they’re wealthy or not, all parents are pitiful." Liu Banxia sighed too.

"Though the patient’s father speaks sternly, he’s actually very worried inside, otherwise, he wouldn’t rush over to inquire with me."

"Just like that little patient’s father, they all want what’s best for their children. But what is truly the best? Who can really say?"

"Sigh... even though I’ve seen it many times... I’ll just get back to work." Wu Mingyu also sighed.

Amputation has a significant impact on both the physical and psychological state of patients, and he is specialized in this area. Even when done to save a life, going through such an ordeal is hard to process.

"President Qi, a car accident patient will be sent over shortly. The patient’s vital signs are stable, but they are unconscious." At this point, the dispatch nurse called out.

"Is the trauma severe?" Qi Wentai asked.

"Head laceration, abdominal blunt trauma." The dispatch nurse reported.

"Mine, I’ll take the case."

Before Qi Wentai could assign it, Xu Yino raised her little hand and ran towards the door.

"This girl really is full of energy all the time." Liu Banxia remarked.

"Out of the six of them, she’s subtly becoming the leader, right?" Qi Wentai asked with a smile.

Liu Banxia nodded, "She’s decent in leadership and quick on her feet. But her mindset isn’t quite steady yet. She and Liu Yiqing can complement each other."

"You’ve really got them all figured out thoroughly." Qi Wentai said helplessly.

He too has been in the emergency center, but his understanding of the ’six little ones’ is nowhere near as thorough as Liu Banxia’s, almost to the core.

Whether it’s their personalities, ways of handling things, or their medical skills, Liu Banxia understands them deeply.

At this time, the patient was also wheeled in.

"Vital signs are stable, but the patient was found unconscious. Head laceration, abdominal blunt trauma, he’s the driver." The paramedic reported.

"Let’s get him to the examination bed first." Xu Yino instructed.

Liu Banxia glanced over, frowning slightly.

He noticed that the patient’s neck seemed to tilt just a moment ago, briefly, just once.

Ding! Task issued: Patient with neck movement

Open task: The host has noticed symptoms of neck movement in the patient, drawing attention, further examination is needed. Task rewards will be granted based on diagnosis results.
