The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Liu Yiqing’s Self-Challenge (Part 2)

"Since there are so many people watching, I’ll just say a few words."

Liu Banxia said.

"The rate of liver surgeries has shown a significant upward trend in recent years. This is not just because people have money to afford such surgeries."

"Actually, I think life has become easier, and the group of people who drink alcohol has expanded greatly. These individuals continuously provide resources for liver surgeries."

"However, even now, many hospitals still primarily use traditional surgical methods for liver surgeries despite the increase in laparoscopic liver surgeries."

"The main reason is the unique nature of the liver, as it has a rich blood supply, and during the separation process, we often encounter areas with abundant blood vessels."

"If we were to define this surgery, I personally believe that the dissection will account for 65% or more of the procedure."

"So what’s the next thing to pay attention to? It’s the surgeon’s response and handling. During liver surgery, one issue we constantly face is managing bleeding during the operation."

"Due to the abundant blood vessels, we need to block them first during the dissection process. After determining them clearly, we can proceed with the separation."

"Otherwise, what awaits us could be massive bleeding, which poses a great danger to the patient’s life. After all, everyone’s blood vessels are only approximately distributed, and there are always some aberrations."

"This requires the surgeon and their assistant to make real-time judgments, while keeping the surgical field clean requires timely hemostasis and suction."

"Currently, Liu Yiqing and the team are doing a great job. The surgery can be slower, as it is not an emergency bleeding surgery. We need to consider the patient’s prognosis; less intraoperative bleeding is beneficial for the patient’s recovery."

"You don’t need to envy Liu Yiqing’s team. If your anatomical skills reach a certain level, you’ll also feel confident when performing similar surgeries."

"Alright, let’s continue watching. Liu Yiqing’s operation is indeed very good. It seems she’s been practicing secretly, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so confident today."

The last sentence by Liu Banxia was a joke, but the viewers did not take it as such.

Everyone is aware of the Six Little Ones’ daily hustle; they handle most of the patient consultations.

Even so, Liu Yiqing manages to find time for practice, which is quite commendable.

Everyone else doesn’t have as tight a schedule as Liu Yiqing, yet they still feel exhausted and barely have time for so much practice. The comparison makes the gap quite evident.

Initially, Liu Banxia was a bit worried for Liu Yiqing, but after seeing her dissect the first hepatic portal, he was relieved.

There aren’t many difficulties; as long as you operate properly, dissect carefully, and manage bleeding well, it’s a very good surgery and is sure to succeed.

"This little Qingqing, always quietly accomplishing big things." Xu Yino, who also came to watch, muttered.

"Oh... We’ve all been fooled by her silly facade." Li Hao also commented emotionally.

The people nearby found it quite amusing.

They naturally know there’s competition among the Six Little Ones, but their competition is very positive, relying on genuine skills.

"Indeed, very good."

Just as the two finished speaking, Zhou Shuwen’s voice rang out behind them.

It startled everyone; they didn’t know when Zhou Shuwen had arrived.

"Director, why did you come over?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"I heard the news, so I had to come and see for myself." Zhou Shuwen replied with a smile.

"Although only Liu Yiqing is operating, there’s not much difference in skill between you six. If she can complete this surgery independently, the rest of you presumably can too."

"Director, honestly, I don’t have that much confidence." Xu Yino said with a bitter expression.

"That’s completely normal. Only when you’ve completed it independently will you feel, ’Oh, so that’s what it’s about.’" Zhou Shuwen said with a smile.

"For example, Liu Yiqing’s handling of these two incisions reflects a lack of experience. If Banxia were operating, just one incision would suffice."

"Everyone thinks he operates quickly, but it’s not just about his speed; he makes precise incisions, reducing many unnecessary procedures."

"But I don’t recommend you imitate him. Only those with a deep understanding of anatomy can reach that level. This is experience, so you need to accumulate it slowly."

"No need to rush, we have plenty of time. You’re still young, and your current skills are already quite good. This time it’s Liu Yiqing; maybe in a few days it’ll be someone else among you."

"You all can handle splenectomy, right? That’s a level-four surgery too. You’ve participated in Banxia’s surgeries so often, and that’s incredibly valuable experience."

Xu Yino grinned, feeling quite happy.

It turns out they’ve truly grown a lot without even realizing it.

But they still need to keep working hard because the big boss might assess some surgery next.

Many interns listened to the conversation between Zhou Shuwen and them, and they really envied them from the bottom of their hearts. Liu Banxia was likely the first and probably the last batch to be meticulously guided by him.

Nowadays, Liu Banxia is so busy with work. He barely has time for minor surgeries, let alone teaching students.

Even the current Liu Banxia group can only work with him in shifts, also due to the demanding work schedule. Everyone needs to be in motion.

The key is that the Liu Banxia group really strives hard, chasing each other without anyone falling behind. Each of them maintains a high growth rate and has officially started handling advanced surgeries.

That is something very meaningful, which is why even a busy person like Zhou Shuwen takes time to come and watch.

As for Liu Yiqing, currently operating on the surgical table, her only feeling is exhaustion. Really exhausted.

This is because the mental pressure she bears is immense, leading to a rapid depletion of her physical strength.

Originally, she didn’t have such thoughts, but thinking about her brother and that wicked woman, a surge of "bravery", she proposed a small request to Liu Banxia.

What surprised her was that Liu Banxia actually agreed.

This pressure is substantial, so she’s cautious in every operation, strictly following Liu Banxia’s usual teachings, not daring to be careless.

Time ticked by, though the surgery took longer than normal, Liu Banxia felt gratified in his heart.

The crucial parts were over, the upcoming steps relying on Liu Yiqing’s skills were surely fine.

"Haha, finally made it through."

Liu Yiqing joyfully shouted as she pulled out the excised specimen.

This was the first time she spoke in such a long time. Earlier, she didn’t even have time to wipe her sweat, merely tilting her head aside.

"A round of applause is due here, the next step is the simple closing of the abdomen. It’s not fair to let just you show off, Su Wenhao also deserves a chance to perform." Liu Banxia teased.

"Hehe, I actually managed to do it. I... ah... why are there so many people?"

As she said this, Liu Yiqing inadvertently saw the people standing in the observation room, startling her.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

Just then, everyone started applauding.

Even though the surgery wasn’t fully completed yet, Liu Yiqing’s performance was impeccable.

"Thank you, everyone." Liu Yiqing said happily.

"Do you want to accept an interview later?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Uh... no need, I didn’t do it well enough." Liu Yiqing said earnestly.

People in the observation room were stunned, finding it amusing.

Clearly, Liu Banxia was teasing, yet Liu Yiqing took it seriously. This proves again her "silly Liu Yiqing" title, doesn’t it?

"The director was here watching earlier too." Liu Banxia continued.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiqing noticeably became nervous, her eyes darting around the observation room.

"He left long ago, but Xu Yino gestured, indicating the director was satisfied with your performance. Very good, strengthen it a bit more, and soon you can handle it with ease." Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, better not, the pressure was really immense, I’m drenched in sweat now. I feel like I don’t have any strength left, doing such a major surgery is tough." Liu Yiqing said bitterly.

"You’ve done so many surgeries before, why didn’t you feel this way? Doing this surgery is definitely more exhausting than a whole day’s appendectomy."

"It’s normal, after all it’s such a major surgery. But regardless of the exhaustion, you persevered through. It’s a milestone in your medical journey, and quite a notable one at that." Liu Banxia said.

"Tonight, have a good rest, skip receiving patients. Carefully reflect on the surgical procedure; it’ll help improve your skills."

Liu Yiqing nodded promptly.

No rest would be impossible, she feels utterly drained now, and needs to go back and replenish some glucose saline.

"Teacher Liu, the abdomen closure is complete." At this moment, Su Wenhao reported.

Liu Banxia glanced at the surgery timer, five hours and thirty-seven minutes.

Liu Yiqing saw it too, sticking her tongue out.

If Teacher Liu did it, he would’ve finished in just over four hours. Hers took nearly six.

The gap between her and Teacher Liu is still considerable, needing more effort.
