The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Guard Against Small Problems (Part 2)

After chatting with Wang Chao a little, I went upstairs to check on the tetanus patient.

The current condition is still manageable. Except for two episodes of generalized spasms last night, the patient has remained relatively stable today.

Auscultation was performed on the lungs, and the lung sounds are still normal.

The key issues for this patient are lung infection and laryngeal muscle spasms. With intubation now in place, we no longer need to worry about the laryngeal muscle spasms.

As long as there’s no lung infection, his life is considered secure.

Returning to the office, I pulled out the data of the liver cirrhosis patient again.

An endoscopy was also conducted, and the blood vessels at the gastric fundus indeed showed varices. This is one of the significant complications of liver cirrhosis, though it hasn’t yet ruptured and bled on its own.

For him, if this surgery can indeed be performed, and he is chosen to undergo it, it would undoubtedly be his toughest challenge to date.

Although the previous NOSES surgery was also highly challenging, that was more in terms of operational difficulty. During the actual surgery, the difficulty level wasn’t particularly high.

But liver transplantation is different. Whether his son or daughter is acting as the donor, extreme care is needed when retrieving the donor organ.

Because considering the donor’s future life, sufficient distance must be preserved for the transplant.

This is exceedingly difficult, feeling as if the difficulty level is higher than that of autologous transplantation.

The key is that he has only observed the latter part of a transplant and has seen autologous transplantation, but has never actually been the primary surgeon.

Although one can practice in a dream space, unexpected issues always arise during actual procedures.

If Zhou Shuwen, with his extensive experience, encounters these issues, he might resolve them quickly. But for himself? At that time, racking the brains might be necessary.

"Teacher Liu, are you studying the condition of that liver cirrhosis patient?"

While pondering, Huang Bo walked in.

"Yes, the difficulty factor is quite high, and I’m somewhat apprehensive," Liu Banxia said offhandedly.

"It’s challenging, finally venturing into liver transplantation." Huang Bo said happily.

"Why are you so happy? Aren’t you afraid I might mess up at the crucial moment?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Teacher Liu, we have been eagerly waiting for you to perform this after hearing the news," Huang Bo said.

"Liver transplantation occupies a significant proportion in organ transplants because the matching standards are relatively low, and there are many donors. Anyway, if you can manage to accomplish this surgery, it would indeed be remarkable."

"Even though you might not be too concerned about reputation, we value it greatly, hoping for you to achieve greater surgical breakthroughs and master more techniques."

"Wow, you have more confidence than I do. Xu Yino didn’t send you to probe for information, did she?" Liu Banxia asked.

Huang Bo nodded straightforwardly, "She saw you going to the director’s office and then directly returning upstairs. She thought the director is letting you perform the surgery, hence sent me to inquire."

"You are quite forthright, go call Su Wenhao too, I want to discuss something with you all." Liu Banxia said.

Huang Bo hurriedly went out to call Su Wenhao over.

"While chatting with the director just now, we discussed the potential corruption issues within our hospital," Liu Banxia said.

"The main areas are drugs and surgical materials, giving you a heads-up. Regardless of the difficulties encountered, refrain from such thoughts in the future."

"If you run into trouble, you can seek help from me or others, but if you stray in this respect, it will ruin your entire life."

"In recent years, many major hospitals have had individuals hitting these pitfalls, and some daringly act against the trend, being exceedingly bold. Attempting to fully conceal such matters is simply impossible."

"At the very least, you won’t be able to hide it from your colleagues in the same department, right? If the hospital authorities decide to investigate, they’ll likely have a general judgment in their minds. If this suspicion lingers in the minds of the hospital leaders, the subsequent days won’t be so comfortable."

"Unless in the future you can rise to the position of vice chief director, overseeing tenders, you could score big and remain somewhat concealed."

"But more likely, you’d be taken down before reaching that level. At least in our emergency center, there is no room for such matters to develop."

"You all have good potential. In the future, you might become department heads in other hospitals, wielding more power and facing more temptations, so be extremely cautious."

"They’ll try various means to corrupt you, be it money or allure, always managing to itch where you cannot resist."

"Teacher Liu, rest assured, I can’t vouch for others, but the six of us will not make mistakes in this regard," Huang Bo said seriously.

"Even if the other four aren’t here, I dare to vouch for them. It’s a red line; although it may bring some benefits in the short term, it will ruin a lifetime."

"Moreover, the six of us have similar thoughts. As long as you can take us in, we’ll keep learning medical skills from you. Since we’ve become surgeons, we must learn some real abilities."

Next to them, Su Wenhao also nodded vigorously.

"Just giving you all a reminder, if you have time, talk to the other interns and resident doctor trainees. In a few months, you’ll become lead mentors yourselves," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Anyway, each of you will have to lead at least two to three people, and our department will become the one with the most interns at the emergency center. At that time, you must be alert because that’s my principle; if interns make mistakes, their mentors take the blame."

"That’s how it was when I was guiding you. It’s the responsibility of a mentor. It’s not just about completing what’s on the teaching plan; you can also find and correct errors along the way."

"Actually, we’ve talked about these things many times; just reminding you that you’ll have more responsibilities in the future. It’s not like the intern mentoring now; at that point, I truly won’t be involved."

"Ah...we actually anticipated this," Huang Bo sighed.

"But it feels like it’s coming too fast. It seems like we haven’t fully understood things, and we’re already about to mentor interns. How long has it been? It all feels a bit blurry."

Huang Bo’s words amused Liu Banxia, "That proves your time at the emergency center has been quite fulfilling, not wasted."

"Only fulfilled people always feel time passes quickly. If you’re just idling away, waiting for the end of the workday, you’ll feel time goes by slowly."

"Don’t rush; there’s almost half a year left. When the new ones arrive, you six can discuss how to proceed. I’ll only check in at the beginning."

"Alright, you guys keep busy. Even resting for a while is good, otherwise, who knows when that tetanus patient might have a situation."

The two nodded and left his office.

Liu Banxia stretched widely, also feeling the pressure from the liver transplant surgery was quite heavy, hence he chatted with the two quite a bit.

With not much to do upstairs, he wandered downstairs.

The emergency center, on the other hand, was a bit busy; many folks took walks today, inevitably causing minor accidents.

But compared to usual intake, the current volume isn’t close; it’s entirely on another level.

At this moment, he saw Chen Xuehai walking back in surgical attire.

"What’s up? Back on stage again?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Installed a stent; I told you we have quite a few heart attack patients recently. I didn’t want to go on stage, wanted to take a break, but couldn’t schedule it," replied Chen Xuehai.

"Take some time to research too, in case we’re too busy. At that time, you can get some practice. Anyway, you learn things pretty fast; it’s not that complicated."

"Trying to pull a fast one on me? Not a chance," Liu Banxia said with a smirk.

"I’m so busy right now, barely holding things together, where do I find time for this? At most, I can find time to study pediatric surgery, then orthopedics."

"Didn’t Linlin return too? You should let her take over. After so much time refining, she should be ready. Aren’t you guys also replenishing staff soon?"

Chen Xuehai smiled and nodded, "The number the emergency center is giving us is decent. But your general surgery department doesn’t get as much as last time, only four resident doctors."

"Dividing them into two departments, that’s just two per department. You’ll have to choose wisely; future replenishments won’t be as plentiful as last year."

Liu Banxia grimaced, "Though I know this is the norm at hospitals, still feels a bit regretful. It’s really insufficient; can’t talk to the Chief Director about getting two or three more?"

"If I get more for you, we’ll have to take people from other departments," Chen Xuehai said.

"If you think it’s doable, then maybe it is. You give it a try? Your general surgery department is the main force for intake."

"I’m not falling for it; later it’ll all be on me to work hard. Oh, how are pediatrics, ICU, and anesthesia departments faring?" Liu Banxia asked.

"They can open up some space, later try to get spots from the hospital," Chen Xuehai said.

"But what’s the point? Right now, filling their given spots is good enough. Especially pediatrics and ICU, finding suitable people is too hard."

That’s a common problem for hospitals, not about recruiting just to meet numbers, but needing people with certain qualifications.

It’s awkward; although Binhai City is decent, it can’t compare to major cities.

And with so many hospitals in Binhai City competing, it’s exceptionally hard to get the right people.
