Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Time to Start the Stress Test
(Thanks to Jin Zhong for the reward, and thanks to Damo Gu Lang and Dong Yu Bu Leng for the monthly ticket encouragement.)
The patients in the operating room were gradually being pushed out. Among the five patients on stage, four have been pushed out, and two of them need to be sent directly to the ICU.
The auxiliary police brother is still in the operating room, with temporary treatment completed for chest, abdomen, and head injuries, but his leg will take more time.
Fixing a comminuted fracture is not easy, and that’s why Xu Peichen stepped in. Otherwise, someone else from the Second Hospital couldn’t handle this job.
Though even after reduction, there will be some impact in the future, at least the leg can be saved.
"How are you feeling?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile as he saw the ones who returned first.
"I felt a bit anxious during the operation. My patient had mesenteric bleeding. I checked three times, very afraid of missing anything." Liu Yiqing said.
"The hearing of my patient will be affected for life." Xu Yino added her comment.
"Work hard in the future, in one or two months, I’ll minimize my time in the operating room. You all have to rely on your own skills and maintain a high level of confidence." Liu Banxia said.
The group glanced at him helplessly, already feeling immense pressure.
Others entering the operating room didn’t expect Shi Lei and Wei Yuan watching nearby, except Su Wenhao and Liu Yiqing who might have felt it earlier.
"Teacher Liu, the blood test results for that patient came out. It can be diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Should we proceed with the ventilator?"
Li Hao asked after looking at the message on his phone.
Ding! Reception task completed
Earned 200 experience points, Glory Points +10
The rewards are not much, can even be described as meager. But there’s no helping it, the patient’s condition wasn’t as complex as imagined.
"Alright, go ahead. Although I’ve explained to the patient’s family before, remind them again when starting the ventilator." Liu Banxia reminded.
Li Hao nodded, eagerly heading to the VIP ward.
"Ah...it’s really hypothyroidism; it’s so troublesome." Xu Yino complained.
"As long as you’re still doing this doctor job, similar situations will happen a lot in the future." Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Often there will be an epiphany feeling, oh, so it’s this condition. You’ll get used to it, slowly you’ll adapt."
The group listened, feeling amused, thinking there would be encouraging words, but instead, they were told to gradually adapt.
"I’m wondering, with your internships and standardized training at the emergency center, will you be able to adapt to the style of a proper hospital in the future?" Xu Yino curiously asked the interns.
"What are you talking about? Who’s not proper? I’m very proper. There’s also a batch of patients for image review, help look over the results once they come out." Liu Banxia threw a comment and strolled away.
Previously, it was just talk to give them pressure. But now it’s serious; although the time won’t be long, during these months, the things they learn might be more than the total they learned before.
This is the real stress test; in the future, Liu Banxia will speak less, and just watch.
He wants them to truly apply the knowledge gained during this period, which is essential for the improvement of their medical skills.
After a while, seeing Zhou Shuwen walk out of the operating room, Liu Banxia quickly went to greet him.
"I was just saying, why are you so well-behaved today? Didn’t go to the operating room?" Zhou Shuwen asked with a smile.
"Trying to give the opportunity to the Little Six, let them truly feel the operating table and prepare to mentor them for this year’s standardized training." Liu Banxia said.
"There’s not much time; our Second Department can’t let the First Department get too far ahead. I discussed with Shi Lei, once Wang Chao steps down, I plan to recruit Wang Chao over, and we won’t add more staff this year for the Second Department."
"With Wang Chao and the Little Six, plus the newly assigned interns and trained doctors, we can handle it all. How is that patient’s condition?"
"Very severe, first hit by a high-speed impact and then run over by a car." Zhou Shuwen said.
"Director Xu is still trying to save the leg, probably won’t finish until eight or nine tonight. Just chatted with their bureau leader, a very dedicated young lad."
"This incident is very egregious, Wang Chao’s investigating, the perpetrator’s family is quite financially strong. Probably why he felt above others, let’s see how he does behind bars this time." Liu Banxia said.
"But are you really going to give them such pressure so soon? Not everyone can handle it." Zhou Shuwen asked.
Liu Banxia nodded seriously, "Actually, around the New Year’s, I was considering this; it’s time. After all, the Second Department has been established long enough for them to have had a rest."
"Once the liver transplant surgery is done, I’ll arrange a little vacation for them. When they return, they’ll need to be fully charged and ready to work hard. I also want to test their ability to handle pressure."
"They won’t have the pressure of being the inpatient chief anymore, so I’ll make up for it in other areas. I’ll be observing them constantly and will also relieve their pressure when appropriate. Not every surgery should be handled by them."
"I define the next few months as a solid foundation phase for them. If they can endure these months, then there should be no problem."
"You need to continuously monitor this, especially since we need to collaborate with Jinshui District Hospital and your hometown hospital, which will surely increase the workload," Zhou Shuwen reminded.
"I’ve opened up Langtaosha, letting them relax there from time to time," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Wow, you’ve invested quite a bit," Zhou Shuwen chuckled.
"There’s no helping it. If they grow quickly, I can relax a bit more. I’m under quite a bit of pressure now with too many things to participate in. I don’t know how you manage it daily," Liu Banxia remarked.
"Manage it? Just get by. I try to handle the business well while also managing the emergency center, so the pressure is there," Zhou Shuwen said with a laugh.
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have delegated so many tasks to you. I’m a bit more relaxed now. Training work can’t be neglected; it needs to be handled well."
"Since we took over, the training work has made some achievements. Jiang Tao has expressed appreciation, saying their proctology department benefitted the most."
"With achievements, you need to maintain them. Control the training quotas with Jinshui District and your hometown hospitals. Even if we give them more, they might not necessarily be able to handle it."
"Isn’t that true? When I had dinner with Chief Director Xu, he poured out his woes, saying his days are too tough," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.
"You should rest first. Wang Chao and Qi Wentai have organized everything outside, and our emergency center is running smoothly. In the past, a big emergency like today would’ve been hectic," Zhou Shuwen nodded.
Indeed, resting for a while was necessary. Age was catching up, and today’s emergency surgery was tense.
"What did you say to the director?"
As Liu Banxia walked out of the office, Wang Chao came over.
As the gossip expert of the emergency center, he was on top of such tasks.
"Just reporting your matter to the director. I can’t let you become one of my people without a clear explanation; we need to follow regular channels," Liu Banxia explained.
Wang Chao scoffed, "If it were before, I’d believe it. Now, do you think I’d believe it? I don’t believe the director would manage such things. As long as it doesn’t affect regular work, just discuss personnel adjustments in general surgery with Shi Lei."
"Impressive," Liu Banxia gave a thumbs up.
Then he wandered around.
Wang Chao felt triumphant, but after thinking it over, something didn’t seem right.
What’s the meaning here? Just got fooled like that? Can’t give up.
Then he happily chased after Liu Banxia again.
"Actually, it’s nothing much, just clarifying with the director about the training of the Six Little Ones," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"The next few months will be their final pressure test. Be mindful and let them handle things themselves, even if they take some detours."
"You have a tough heart. Are you really going to play it this way?" Wang Chao asked in surprise.
Liu Banxia glanced at him, "To grow, you need to have pressure. I may not be a tiger dad, but they need to have determination to be chicken babies."
"You’re also in the medical field, so you know the situation well. Slight laxness can waste months or even a year. Who doesn’t want to wake up naturally every day and count money until their hands cramp?"
"But think about it, if they truly want to achieve something in medicine, can they afford to waste these events? This includes you too. After stepping down as inpatient chief, you’ll have to get back to doing surgeries."
"Can you pretend I wasn’t here? How did I get dragged into this?" Wang Chao said with a bitter smile.
"Same here. I aim to be a good deputy director and head of the second department, so I don’t have time to manage so many things, focusing on these two tasks," Liu Banxia replied.
"Including future emergency admissions, unless the situation is as severe as today with critically ill patients, the Six Little Ones will be the priority."
"It’s truly because I’m handling too many things at the moment: department matters, emergency center, training, and surgical operations, feeling spread thin."
Wang Chao nodded in understanding.
Although Liu Banxia was very capable, his energy and time were limited. Occasionally running at full capacity isn’t a problem, but if it’s daily, things will inevitably get delayed.
The Six Little Ones will have it tough, following Liu Banxia might be advantageous, but their days will also be hard.
