The next morning, Liu Banxia got up much earlier than usual.

Today is New Year’s Day, a new year, and the official day for the emergency center’s general surgery department One and Two to split. As the captain of department Two, he actually didn’t sleep very soundly last night.

Taking care of kids is tiring, and Qiaoqiao, who should have slept in, also got up early to help Liu Banxia pick a suit, pick a tie, pick shoes.

Anyway, the only standard was that Liu Banxia didn’t have a say; she had to decide.

"You have to work hard today. While you toil away, we’re going to enjoy ourselves at Waves and Sands," Qiaoqiao said.

"Definitely, but don’t stay in the water too long, or these two little ones will miss you," Liu Banxia advised.

"Don’t worry, go to work," Qiaoqiao said cheerfully.

She was quite pleased with the achievements from her hard work.

Liu Banxia drove to the emergency center, and just as he walked in, Qi Wentai and the group who had been on the night shift started clapping.

"You guys can’t do this. It’s not just me; there’s Shi Lei too," Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Haha, Shi Lei was welcomed a round already; he got here ten minutes earlier than you," Wang Chao said, laughing.

"Anyway, today is New Year’s Day, a real new year. Just figure it out. I really can’t say anything more; if I do, it’ll be too much."

"You think you’ve said little? Just one afternoon, one evening."

Liu Banxia was quite sensible. You can’t escape adding dishes on such a happy occasion.

"Director Liu, you can’t forget us now, don’t forget everyone just because of your little family," Qi Wentai said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Oh my, adding meat dishes, is that alright?" Liu Banxia sighed helplessly.

"Haha, now that’s the Director Liu we admire, one guest," Qi Wentai shouted playfully.

Everyone was amused, anyway, today is also New Year’s Day, and everyone should be happy for a bit.

"I’ll head upstairs first; I need to give some instructions up there, then I’ll come down. After all, it’s our first day of consultations, and I’m feeling a bit uneasy," Liu Banxia said.

"Go on up, those six came early too; they’re waiting upstairs," Qi Wentai replied.

Liu Banxia went directly upstairs, where the six little ones and the nurses were chatting by the nurses’ station.

"Not bad, you all arrived earlier than me; it seems you have a lot of heart for department Two," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Haha, Teacher Liu, that’s a must. Did you get robbed downstairs?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"Do you think I wouldn’t get robbed once? I came up intact. Adding dishes, adding meat dishes," Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"It’s just right since today is New Year’s Day; everyone can enjoy together. Qiaoqiao and the others went to Waves and Sands to play, and I’m here fighting to the end."

"There shouldn’t be any problems today, anyway, the surgeries for the patients yesterday are all done," Liu Yiqing said.

"Why else did we choose the 1st? It’s so you guys won’t be exhausted on your first working day," Liu Banxia said.

"But in any case, it’s a new department; traditionally, I still need to say a few words. Don’t think department Two will be very relaxed—that’s only for now."

"At least until the new trainees and interns arrive this year, we won’t have additional personnel. Just think, how will we manage all these wards?"

"Currently, there are just the seven of us doctors, and if you count strictly, Wang Chao counts as an external member. So, generally, we’ll have at least four, with two downstairs for consultations."

"Of the four who remain, two should do the night shifts, adjusting the daytime work a bit. Now, there’s not so much energy, right?"

The six little ones made a face after hearing this.

Just thinking about continuing with Liu Banxia was exciting and made them forget about the upcoming heavy workload.

There’s no doubt—right now the wards have no patients, but over time they’ll surely fill up.

How many patients can a single NOSES surgery attract? Liu Banxia will continue consultations and participate in emergency rescue, and it won’t be less busy.

"Our nursing team is led by Zhou Qian, an experienced elder, which makes me quite at ease," Liu Banxia said.

"Director Liu, you can truly be at ease. Don’t underestimate us young members; we’ve got plenty of fighting spirit," Zhou Qian said.

"That’s right; department Two is indeed quite young. Not just because the department was established later, but also because the average age of our medical staff is relatively low," Liu Banxia said.

"Therefore, we can endure hardships, be motivated, and take action. But don’t forget, because we’re young, we lack experience."

"This experience is not related to consultations, nor on the operating table, but rather off the table, in our nursing care. This nursing work is not only the responsibility of our nurses but also ours as doctors."

"Everyone has their own responsibilities, and everyone must handle the tasks at hand properly. What does handling them properly mean? My principle is to prioritize the patients."

"When we find that the patient’s situation exceeds our ability to handle, we must not delay. If we need to call for help, we must do so."

"This point is mainly directed toward the six of you, after all, when nurses notice something wrong with a patient, they will surely call you first. Don’t be stubborn; being stubborn is a major taboo for us medical students."

The six others nodded in agreement, naturally knowing that this situation indeed cannot be neglected.

"And for our nurses, I have a small requirement as well. During our reception of patients, we will surely encounter many difficult patients," Liu Banxia continued.

"Be more confident, with Zhou Qian backing you up, and me supporting you. Do not fear any situation. If there’s a certain degree of conflict with a patient, leave the scene immediately and let others handle it."

"Protecting yourself is the primary element, and then we can properly handle the situation. We serve the patients, but it’s not okay for anyone to vent their anger on us."

"Before the Spring Festival, our work won’t be very busy. So aside from staying in the department, we should also support the downstairs as much as possible."

"We need to support each other; anyway, when our side is too busy, remember to call Sister Li. Because we prioritize the patients, if we can’t take care of everything, there’s a chance of negligence."

"Alright, that’s pretty much everything I have to say. I don’t have any experience; I used to just follow others. In our subsequent work, we’ll identify issues and address them promptly."

"If anyone has good suggestions, just mention them directly. You can raise any opinion with me; if it’s useful, we’ll adopt it immediately."

"At least I know that the sanitization of the whole floor will undoubtedly be labor-intensive. Fortunately, volunteers will assist, so let’s work hard together."

"Clap clap clap..."

Everyone began to applaud together.

Having worked at the emergency center for quite a while, they knew very well what kind of person Liu Banxia was.

Especially that time when Zhou Qian nearly got in trouble because of the infusion tubes, Liu Banxia fully supported her, and eventually the cause was clarified.

To many people, this was an extraordinary event.

Because in places like hospitals, relationships are often quite indifferent.

One reason is because of high work pressure, and another is due to competition.

The atmosphere in the whole emergency center is excellent; Liu Banxia often brings some fruits and snacks for everyone. After achieving a certain success, he would add a dish.

No one particularly cares about a piece of fruit or dish, but these small things can bring everyone together, naturally improving the atmosphere.

Many nurses still hold high expectations for their work in the second department, especially the intern nurses who came along because they know that coming here increases their chances of staying at the hospital.

Liu Banxia also entered his own office on this side.

The setup is very nice, much more spacious than the office downstairs. After all, this is his individual office, while the six others are in the big office next to his.

His mood was quite good; this is his own department.

The topic of being a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond is eternal, but he now feels the benefit of being a big fish.

Even though the second department has just started, he already feels a strong sense of belonging.

"Teacher Liu, the office is set up nicely, right? You can bring photos of the family to put in those empty spaces on the desk," Xu Yino commented as she entered.

"That’s not urgent; I’ll take some good photos when the two little ones are a hundred days old. Call everyone in; I have to remind you all of something."

Xu Yino quickly gestured to those outside.

"I won’t place any extra demands on the six of you."

Once the other five joined them, Liu Banxia said.

"Let’s rotate the job of chief resident, both upstairs and downstairs. Each of you is also a chief resident, so you need to quickly enrich your work experience in this area."

"You don’t need to worry about your attending contracts, but that is the hospital’s standard, while I have my own standard internally."

"However, I won’t tell you yet what that standard is. If you don’t meet it, I’ll delay your attending contract time, and a month can make quite a financial difference."

The six others’ faces fell; why is the big boss so capable of tormenting people?

You say you have a standard in mind, but who knows how high this standard is? Who knows how you might bully us by then?

"Actually, this standard is just my expectation for your growth," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"This is our own department, after all. While taking good care of the patients, you should also improve your medical skills. When the regular doctors come, they will be assigned to you."

Everyone got excited again hearing this.

Yes, this is their own department now.
