The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

Although this dinner turned into a sequel, Liu Banxia was quite satisfied with his meal.

The key is that his appetite is good, his portion size is large, and today’s fried rice not only had eggs added but also some squid, along with the original vegetables, making it very flavorful.

After taking a look around the hall, he found nothing needing his attention, so he returned to his office and had some tea to dissolve the greasiness.

Spring Festival holiday, but it’s just a holiday for other people; medical staff can only have normal rotations. And since he is a leader, normal rotations have to be postponed.

As he was drinking, Xu Yino came in bouncing with joy.

"Oh, you look good, seems like an inflammation," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Yeah, during the puncture sampling, yellow pus came out directly. Testing is being done now, the lungs should be infected after the bacteria moved to them," Xu Yino said blissfully.

"Sigh... the whole family is overjoyed. The pressure from malignant metastatic tumors is really immense, the torment on this day finally brought some good news."

"It’s quite good, it truly counts as good news. But we need to pay attention to follow-up care, the results should be out today, right? It doesn’t seem too special of a bacterium," Liu Banxia said.

"Should be, but for now, broad-spectrum antibiotics are used for treatment. Once the culture results are out, we’ll treat specifically," Xu Yino said.

"Teacher Liu, how will the liver transplant surgery be arranged in the future? These are two surgeries, can we observe the whole process?"

"The complexity of this matter is quite high, mainly because it’s my first time performing such a surgery; my experience is not abundant, so it may take more time," Liu Banxia said.

"During the extraction, there are many precautions, which I have to adjust according to the patient’s situation. Otherwise, it will make the subsequent trimming very difficult, surely longer than our normal partial liver removal time."

"Additionally, the patient has such severe liver cirrhosis, there will certainly be adhesions in the abdominal cavity, which will delay a lot of time in retrieving the liver."

"After removal, the donor liver needs to be sutured in. I predict, even if I give my all, it will take more than fifteen hours, possibly even longer."

"During such a long period, if you all stay in the operating room, it might get chaotic downstairs. It’s better to make choices, as organ retrieval is also an important project, which I need to handle carefully."

Xu Yino nodded, knowing that this surgery is indeed quite complex. But if she wants to follow the whole process, she feels the receptions at the emergency center might be secondary, and doubts if she can physically endure it.

At the time, it wouldn’t be good to sit aside and rest if tired, and then continue watching afterward.

"Try to coordinate internally, if there’s competition, you can draw lots at the time," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Moreover, those who watch the donor extraction surgery will have priority when future donor extraction opportunities arise. You have to prioritize, know the principle of biting off more than you can chew."

"Teacher Liu, I’m curious, do you have enough confidence?" Xu Yino asked.

"How to say, others have asked me. Before deciding to do it, I was a bit hesitant and restless. But after deciding, I didn’t have so many thoughts," Liu Banxia said.

"I hope you can be like this too. In the future during receptions, you will indeed encounter situations that are judged as more difficult, and you need to give yourself confidence."

"If you haven’t built up confidence before going on stage, let someone else do it. Because once you’re on stage, you have to be responsible for the patient. Your hesitation might harm the patient and you’ll panic when facing sudden situations."

"If you have confidence, you might come up with solutions for the same situation at the time, thus preventing further danger."

"Anyway, I’m like this, once I’m on stage, I’ll give it my all, not thinking about anything else. I definitely can do it, even if I can’t, I have to, giving myself maximum confidence."

"Tsk tsk, it’s like self-hypnosis. I’m going to the lab to look, might report positive very early," Xu Yino said with a giggle.

Liu Banxia nodded, he wouldn’t go down if he didn’t have anything in the afternoon, still needed to study the surgical matter against the patient’s imaging checks.

This liver transplant is relatively reassuring because both son and daughter’s liver shapes are good. Otherwise, sometimes due to body size differences, the liver shape differs greatly, making transplant challenging.

Actually, he hasn’t been idle; he’s already undergone corresponding training in the dream space. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given a time estimate of about fifteen hours; at any rate, the actual time he did it was about this.

The complexity is indeed high, and the simulation in the dream space was based on situations he could imagine. During the real surgery, who knows what might occur.

As he was pondering, the daughter of the liver cirrhosis patient knocked and walked into his office.

"You are here for the liver donation, right?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Director Liu, can I donate my liver? My brother earns more, and there will be a recovery period after donating liver, I’m worried it might affect his job," the patient’s daughter said.

"During lunch, your brother told me the same thing. My answer to him was, it needs to be discussed among yourselves. Because for both of you, the chances are equal," Liu Banxia said.

"Also, I told him that post-operation care will also require a lot of energy, because one person needs to take care of two patients."

"However, my suggestion is to hire a nurse in the beginning. When it comes to toileting, regardless of whether your brother donates or you donate, the remaining person isn’t easy to nurse."

"After your father completes the surgery, he’ll first be sent to the ICU for observation for two to three days, or possibly longer, depending on his recovery situation, which is hard to predict now."

"So, you need to discuss amongst yourselves. As far as difficult situations are concerned, they’re all similar and need to be faced."

"Sigh... I just thought my brother has already contributed a lot to the family," the patient’s sister said.

"Today during our chat we mentioned how your family is truly enviable," Liu Banxia said.

"We’ve also encountered many liver donation cases, sometimes in less ideal situations with many mutual concerns. I won’t hide from you, this is my first liver transplant surgery, but I’m very confident."

"Currently, I have performed multiple partial liver resection surgeries and liver injury repair surgeries, and have participated in transplant surgeries; two were liver autotransplantations, which were even more complex than this."

"The entire surgical team will utilize our emergency center’s first-class setup. The time spent on donor extraction and post-transplant completed will be about fifteen hours, and it will be hard for those waiting outside."

"Director Liu, we certainly trust the surgery," said the patient’s sister.

"You’ve earned so many honors, you’re the director, we trust you. Do you think it’s better for me to donate liver, so my brother can take care of dad?"

"I truly can’t make the decision for you, because from the current test results, both of you are fit, with equal conditions," Liu Banxia said.

"As for subsequent care, the key will be the one donating the liver. Once recovered to a certain extent, you can also help with care."

"So regarding this aspect, your conditions are still equal. The pace of recovery also varies by person. Discuss with your brother to see how best to arrange it for your benefit."

"Our surgery will be no later than the tenth of the lunar month, currently after medication, your father’s indicators are adjusted well, possibly operating around the eighth or seventh of the lunar month."

"Okay, thank you, Director Liu, I’ll go discuss with my brother," said the patient’s daughter.

Liu Banxia nodded.

This is a situation he anticipated but truly can’t offer any advice.

If either of their indicators was slightly worse, he would choose the one with the best indicator, prioritizing the patient. But right now, their situation is identical: both healthy, both meet the standards.

Actually, it’s just that he doesn’t have enough authority; otherwise, he would really want to help them apply for some reduction in surgical fees.

People sometimes indeed become emotional.

If it weren’t for the sibling duo competing to donate their liver, he might not have thought so much. At that time, he would just think about the surgery more carefully, striving to avoid errors.

"Teacher Liu, the results are out, Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. But Teacher Wang said the treatment duration will be longer, the nodules on the lungs are quite large and numerous."

Later, Xu Yino ran in.

"That’s pretty good, no need to worry about it, it’s internal medicine’s job," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Sigh... Nowadays, this illness can truly confuse people," Xu Yino commented.

"What’s to be confused about? It was effortlessly diagnosed," Liu Banxia said.

"In the future, you might encounter cases that are truly hard to diagnose, then you can get confused. But now focus on improving yourself."

"Not many months are left, if you can’t guide the new interns well, it would be interesting. Anyway, at that time, I won’t get too involved, just might guide a few with connections."

Hearing his direct words, Xu Yino didn’t know what to say.
