The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Still Uncertain

Finally, it was time to get off work. Liu Banxia gave a shout and "whoosh," he rushed out.

In this state, it’s just like when he had just finished his tenure as the inpatient director, always having an overwhelming urge to go home.

"Ah... Our Director Liu, you may think he’s living a pretty comfortable life, but in reality, he faces way more stress than we do," Wang Chao sighed.

"I used to look forward to being in leadership, but now I don’t want it at all. Just managing to treat patients steadily is enough. I can’t handle his level of stress," Qi Wentai sighed as well.

"What are you two discussing?" At this moment, Xu Yino walked over.

"Nothing much, just thinking that following Director Liu, you definitely have unlimited prospects," Wang Chao gave a thumbs-up, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.

"Teacher Wang, be serious, stop with the sarcasm," Xu Yino’s face instantly turned sour.

"It would be fine if all the patients were colorectal cancer cases, but if they were all like the ones we saw yesterday, how are we supposed to keep going? It’s really difficult, even Director Xiao is somewhat daunted."

"That’s why I said your future is limitless," Wang Chao said.

"Studying medicine is all about enduring hardship; at this stage, endure more hardship. In the future, you’ll get used to it and won’t find it so tough anymore."

Xu Yino looked helpless, "I actually thought the tough days were over, but I didn’t expect it’s only just the beginning."

"I’m looking forward to seeing what gentle techniques Teacher Liu will use to peel those cysts away and then remove them."

"Using instruments is different from direct hand manipulation. Anyway, I think Teacher Liu’s operations have a higher difficulty coefficient than Director Xiao’s."

"Certainly, once Director Xiao uncovers the dura mater, he can handle these hydatid cysts. But not for him; it’s in the tissue, and he can’t create too large a wound, otherwise the recovery will be much slower," Qi Wentai said.

"By the way, did the patient agree to the teaching surgery? Missing such a surgery would be a true loss. Cerebral echinococcosis is extremely rare."

Xu Yino nodded, "Director Xiao’s surgery can be a teaching one, but Teacher Liu’s won’t be. At that time, the observation room will be cleared, and we’re not sure if it will be part of our data collection."

"Even seeing Director Xiao’s operation would be good. Is it scheduled for the morning after tomorrow?" Wang Chao asked.

"Yes, at first the patient was very resistant. But after Director Liu and the others left, when we were explaining to the patient, the patient’s mood improved a lot," Xu Yino said.

"At that time, Director Xiao will go first, and who knows how the patient’s luck will be. If they’re lucky, the surgery will go smoothly and they’ll recover normally."

She knew this was just wishful thinking. During surgery, many unforeseen situations can happen.

This requires the lead doctor’s strong on-the-spot ability, many times there’s simply no time to think, just a subconscious operation.

If you get scared by these unexpected situations, it’s all over; you might miss the patient’s best rescue window.

This patient’s surgery will inevitably be noticed by the second hospital because the location of the second hydatid cyst is somewhat unique; otherwise, it could completely make it to the news.

Even if the name could be handled with a pseudonym or replaced, people would know who it’s about, which is not good.

If the previous surgeries Liu Banxia did were already highly challenging, then the operation on this one is equally a sudden mountain peak.

And what about Liu Banxia?

Now his mind is empty, and he’s not considering that patient’s situation at all, just single-mindedly rushing home.

Thinking of his wife, thinking of his child, after dealing with these few patients, he just wants them even more.

As soon as he walked in the door, Tang Dou and her four pups came rolling and crawling over.

It’s mainly because her pups are all so chubby, they’re not that agile. And they all rush over in a swarm, it’s like a chain car crash.

Liu Banxia first petted Tang Dou’s head, then played around with East, South, and West Beifeng, finally satisfying this family of five.

This is what’s different between dogs and cats; if you played with a cat like this, you might end up with several love marks on your hand.

"What are you doing, not caring for your daughter and son?" Qiaoqiao said with a laugh.

"These two days have been too exhausting at work; today I just want to rest well at home. I won’t even read a book, after dinner, I’ll just play with the daughter and son," Liu Banxia said.

"Sounds lovely, but the two little ones just fell asleep. If you had come back half an hour earlier, you could’ve played with them," Qiaoqiao said.

"When they wake up again, it’ll be around midnight or one in the morning. If you want to play with them, you take care of it."

"Ah... Normally, I would’ve taken up the task. But these days I really need to rest well; there’s a super difficult surgery on the 27th," Liu Banxia sighed.

"It’s the patient we talked about in the video yesterday. I’ll be the lead surgeon together with Yueyue’s dad. The difficulty level is too high; I’ve never dealt with such parasites before."

Qiaoqiao wrinkled her nose, "Now I don’t even dare to eat sashimi. What if something goes wrong and I eat the eggs? What should I do?"

"Qiao, you can still eat tuna," Qing Kewa said.

"What are we eating tonight? I really need a good meal," Liu Banxia asked.

"Let’s have hotpot. I can eat some too. I’ve been craving it for a long time," Qiaoqiao said.

The ingredients were already prepared; we just needed to put them on the table.

"Why do you keep serving me food?" After eating for a while, Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Nuonuo said you’re working hard, so after you come back, you need to be taken care of," Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"I also asked Uncle Qiu about your patient’s work, and you don’t need to worry. Whenever you want to go, just report directly. Start with plumbing; even if there are some issues, they can be overcome, and there won’t be any danger."

Liu Banxia nodded, "That’s settled then. Their relationship as mother and son leaves a strong impression. They’re always thinking of each other, and the adoption has become a not-so-secret secret."

"Dr. Liu, is it Wilson’s disease or Huntington’s disease?" Qing Kewa asked curiously.

"The probability of Wilson’s disease is higher. We’ll know when he comes for a follow-up and we see the blood test results. Because he took chelating agents, the indicators should show significant improvement," Liu Banxia said.

"Also, the condition of his finger movements isn’t very obvious; there was some effect the day he started the medication. We should thank that car accident. Otherwise, he would only come to the hospital in the late stages of liver failure."

"By that time, where would we find a donor liver? It would be like waiting to die. His mother probably wouldn’t last long either."

"Sigh... actually, there are a few adopted kids in our town too. But some relationships turn sour after they find out. People’s hearts are different," Peng Xiuqin said.

"It’s actually similar. Aren’t there biological children who don’t care for their parents? What’s that village about ten miles from our town called? Three sons, two daughters, the old lady doesn’t even get a hot meal during New Year, right?" Liu Banxia said.

"It’s still about the person. Those with feelings and loyalty won’t change. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so moved, helping him save money and find a stable job."

"So, can this disease be cured?" Peng Xiuqin asked.

Liu Banxia shook his head, "It can’t be cured; only medication can control it. His copper levels are too high, and many foods contain it, so he’ll need to pay attention to his diet in the future."

"The damage to the liver is very significant. Initially, it was almost covered up. He drinks alcohol regularly, and we thought the liver cirrhosis was due to alcohol consumption."

"So I feel the patients I’ve seen in the last two days are very representative. I’m feeling very tired; it might be the pressure of performing this upcoming surgery."

"If Director Xiao performs well and I make a mistake, it won’t just be an issue of pride but will put the patient in danger."

"Is the parasite that serious?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Yes, it is. If the cyst ruptures, the patient will have a very severe allergic reaction, and we’ll have to perform emergency measures," Liu Banxia said.

"Moreover, after an allergic reaction, there are likely to be other symptoms like seizures. As muscles contract, other cysts might rupture, and if the reaction is too severe, we might not be able to save them."

"Wow, that’s truly incredible," Qiaoqiao remarked.

This is actually the source of Liu Banxia’s pressure. This surgery is unlike the others he has performed.

Whether it’s trauma hemostasis or tumor removal, those procedures are straightforward compared to this surgery.

He says he’ll go home and rest without even looking at books. But in reality? He still needs to train in the dreamscape space.

And he also needs to ponder whether he should use his solidified skills in advance.

This surgery requires a very high physical condition overall; long surgery time and a complex process, he truly has no confidence in it.

Because people always have a fear of the unknown, this isn’t like buying a lottery ticket where there’s a trace of expectation.

"Then just enjoy your meal, and after eating, take a bath and go to sleep. Tonight, Qing Kewa and I will take care of the little ancestors," Qiaoqiao said.

"I don’t know what we’ll do when Qing Kewa returns. How will we manage these two? Now they’re so close to Qing Kewa; they don’t even play with my hair anymore, but Qing Kewa’s instead."

"Hahaha, it’s because my hair color is different from yours," Qing Kewa said, delightedly.

It’s just that interest prevails, and even though taking care of kids is exhausting, she’s quite addicted to it.
