"What’s going on? We’ve finally got a direction, so why is everyone acting like wilted eggplants again?"

Returning downstairs, Liu Banxia shouted helplessly.

"Teacher Liu, I just did some self-reflection," Xu Yino said seriously.

"Normally speaking, if it were before, I would have first thought of the thyroid. But now, after just glancing at the patient’s neck, I went ahead and ignored it."

"But silly Qingqing, she can see it right away! Would you say all our knowledge is for nothing? Physical examination is crucial. Even if the patient’s neck is thick, we still have to pay attention to the examination and consider the thyroid."

Others felt the same way; this blind spot is quite unsettling.

Everyone noticed the patient’s neck, but not even one truly considered it.

What if it really is due to the thyroid? The originally simple examination, did everyone make it complicated?

"It depends on how you look at it," said Liu Banxia after thinking for a moment.

"The more knowledge we learn, the more possibilities we consider during diagnosis. With more thoughts, some ideas can end up being useless overthinking."

"But I think if we consider only this case, our diagnostic process wasn’t incorrect. It may seem like we took a detour, but to me, it’s not a detour."

"Your concerns are similar—you’re adding burden to yourself by thinking too much. There’s no such thing as things being obvious; it has to go step by step."

"And speaking of this patient, we only thought about the thyroid after ruling out any structural changes in the pituitary. Would you have performed thyroid tests first right at the onset?"

"I think that would not have been ideal because there weren’t enough clear indications at that time. Even now, we can’t certainly tell if the patient has hypothyroidism."

"So, I think you’re overthinking. Why not be like me, be a little puppet, going with the flow without much thought?"

The group rolled their eyes, knowing Liu Banxia was comforting them, but what did he mean by that last bit? Just had to get a little dig in.

"Silly Qingqing is always the best," Xu Yino said as she nestled next to Liu Yiqing.

"Hehe, actually, I didn’t think too much. What if it’s not the case? Praise me once it’s confirmed," Liu Yiqing said with a laugh.

Everyone laughed along; Liu Yiqing’s straightforward and simple talk is always fun.

Though Liu Banxia makes sense, everyone couldn’t help but overthink.

This was indeed an overlooked aspect in the examination, but they still need to wait for the results. Blood test results take time; the imaging tests might come out quickly.

"Qingqing, you’re not involved in that woman’s affairs, are you?" Xu Yino pulled Liu Yiqing aside.

Liu Yiqing nodded, "I already know what kind of people they are; even if my brother asks, I won’t lend them any money."

"I need to buy a house anyway, and I don’t want to shoulder too much of a loan. Don’t worry; I’m not that clueless. I’m capable."

Xu Yino nodded with satisfaction, genuinely afraid this silly girl might do something silly.

Actually, these matters aren’t really their concern; they’re Liu Yiqing’s family affairs.

But Liu Yiqing’s personality is such that if you leave her entirely alone, you never can tell what might happen.

The issue mainly lies with her troublesome brother. If they truly can’t make ends meet and need money for survival, nobody could argue against it.

Now he’s just seeing Liu Yiqing having a comfortable life and wants to leech off some benefits.

No matter how much, even if you give him millions or tens of millions, he might not appreciate it.

For selfish individuals, they wish the entire world was theirs; no matter how much you give or how well you treat them, they feel it’s their entitlement.

Regarding the so-called familial bonds, he threw them aside years ago.

Seeing everyone resume the reception work, Liu Banxia also sat aside.

Actually, the situation of today’s patient affected him quite a bit. In every aspect, the patient’s condition can be considered complex.

Even if he could assure others that today’s diagnostic process had no issues, he reminded himself that asking about thyroid-related questions might have truly saved considerable trouble.

"Blind spot" is really no simple matter; whenever it happens, you’ll regret it dearly.

Fortunately, this patient’s condition is still rather stable. Even though extra examinations were done, it won’t delay the patient’s treatment.

"Boss, come over, let’s chat for a bit."

Seeing Shi Lei walk over, Liu Banxia called out.

"What’s up? Anything important?" Shi Lei asked after walking over.

"I’ve pretty much talked with Chief Director Xu. He’s offering a lot of favorable conditions for us. We’ll still need to discuss who should be sent over." Liu Banxia said.

"What’s there to discuss? You’re definitely going for the NOSES surgery, and for other surgeries, it’s whoever has time. Whoever goes can handle it, otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to go." Shi Lei said indifferently.

"But I’m really busy now. After the department division, there’s a lot more work. Plus the teaching tasks at the Medical College, my schedule is really tight."

"For now, we’ll have to consider Dr. Wei’s availability. If it involves major liver surgeries, you’ll have to do extra runs. According to Chief Director Xu’s ideas, he won’t make things easy for us."

"Sigh... that’s about right. Actually, I prefer to take it slow, but he seems quite impatient." Liu Banxia said with a bitter smile.

"It’s understandable. His days have indeed been tough over the years. We have our worries here, and he has his struggles."

"Running a hospital isn’t easy, especially when Binhai City is attracting so much resources; it makes it even harder."

"It’s not even as good as the county hospital back home, where there are more patients and the annual profits are decent. They’re trying to catch up quickly."

"But who knows, he might reconsider once he’s slept sober after venting like that yesterday. After all, he’s a Chief Director."

"That’s why I wisely didn’t join the crowd yesterday." Shi Lei chuckled.

"Let Xu Yino and the others run more, but you should oversee it. You know better who is suitable for which surgery."

"Regular surgeries are no problem. Although they seem carefree, they’ve put in quite a bit of hard work." Liu Banxia said.

"They’re also looking forward to the collaboration with Jinshui District. They just graduated and don’t have much money."

"For simpler surgeries, let them take turns. If Brother Wei is interested, he can join too. Then there’s Qi and Wang Chao, but I suspect Wang Chao would be lazier."

"Don’t be fooled by how enthusiastic he seems. He’s unlikely to go over there. He has more considerations than us."

Shi Lei nodded, "Anyway, you organize it. Most key people are in your Second Department. The number of consultations is about to increase again, which is a bit worrying."

"Haven’t even enjoyed enough leisure time. If it’s always like this, it could be tiring, but rest after busyness is really valuable."

"Exactly, I’m looking forward to it too, but that’s impossible." Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"Let’s discuss something else: after Qi and Wang Chao finish being Resident-in-charge, send one to our Second Department. And this year, we won’t take anyone new; all your quotas go to the First Department."

"What’s your plan?" Shi Lei asked cautiously.

Even among close brothers, things should be clear. Liu Banxia is crafty, so Shi Lei had to ask.

"Our Second Department is quite good in numbers. But in overall city affairs, we’re far behind your First Department." Liu Banxia explained.

"The little six are energetic and passionate, but they lack in experience and emotional management. I have so much work, I’m afraid I can’t cover everything."

"Then let’s send Wang Chao to your department. Deal? Even if there are few slots for new recruits, they’ll all be for our First Department." Shi Lei said.

"Of course, we won’t let you suffer. Interns and resident doctors can shift more towards our department, right?" Liu Banxia said.

Shi Lei gave him a helpless look. Liu Banxia proposed this discussion and then bargained with him right there, really cunning.

"What are you guys talking about? Why do I smell some conspiracy?" Wang Chao walked over.

"Nothing much. You’re currently an external draft for our Second Department. Once you finish as Resident-in-charge, I’ll make you internal, and you’ll be part of my team." Liu Banxia said earnestly.

"What do you mean? I’m a bit confused." Wang Chao said.

"He needs someone to help keep an eye on the little six, and you’re quite suitable. It’s a normal job transfer, and there’s still several months to go." Shi Lei chuckled.

"Bad guys, you’re all bad. Isn’t the regular procedure to consult me first?" Wang Chao asked, feeling frustrated.

"We’re consulting you now, right? Do you have any opinions?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Uh... What could I say? I’m just a revolutionary brick — move me where I’m needed." Wang Chao said in frustration.

"See, asking your opinion or not makes no difference, so we need to improve efficiency. Pay attention when helping Second Department and go play with the kids." Liu Banxia said.

Wang Chao felt even more frustrated. He felt sold out and was supposed to count money for them with a smile?
