The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307: Fighting Poison with Poison

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Liu Banxia never relaxes when it comes to teaching the six little ones. Even though sometimes he can be a bit cheeky in personality, when it comes to serious matters, he doesn’t tolerate even the tiniest mistake.

Moreover, throughout the teaching process, he adds some of his personal insights.

Like with the matter of ward rounds, he incorporates his understanding of what makes a good ward round.

Understanding the patient’s condition can be prioritized second, because basic conditions are reviewed every morning. So, alleviating the emotions of the patients and their families can be prioritized first.

As he said, even though we cannot quantify with data how much better the prognosis of a patient in a good mood is compared to one in a bad mood, it’s still something that can be done.

Today, while spending more time on rounds, by the time he took the six little ones downstairs, the reception hall was already bustling. With the addition of the six little ones, it eased up somewhat.

"How do you find that patient?" Wang Chao asked.

"Honestly, it’s hard to say right now. When I went, the patient was still asleep. Let’s have Neurology run some tests later," Liu Banxia said.

"We’ve done all we can, the next steps depend on the patient’s own condition. For example, muscle control could potentially recover fully through rehabilitation."

"Doctor Wu, just the person I need. Remember the amputee hiker? I visited them this morning. They’re quite pessimistic about the amputation, can you talk to them about prosthetics?"

"What do you mean? They’re very pessimistic, and you want me to discuss prosthetics with them?" Wu Mingyu asked surprised.

"Brother Wu, don’t you know him? He’s full of crafty ideas," Wang Chao remarked.

"Just yesterday with that VIP, nobody could get through to them until their friend stepped in, and it was settled in no time. He could set up a stall and tell fortunes at this rate."

"Should I give you a reading first?" Liu Banxia jested.

"Actually, my idea is straightforward: fighting fire with fire. Our initial strategy was to let him slowly digest the situation before taking action."

"From today’s observation, I feel that although the method is effective, it takes too long. This could indefinitely prolong his process of accepting the prosthetic."

"I think, since he enjoyed outdoor sports and hiking, it’s not just a hobby; it shows he’s mentally strong."

"Otherwise, even if you paid me, I wouldn’t spend several days in the wild. Don’t you guys think it’s the case?"

Both nodded, agreeing with Liu Banxia.

Outdoor sports may seem fresh when playing for a few hours, but spending days in deserted areas with potential risks are quite unpleasant.

"So, I think he is just shocked and hasn’t mentally accepted it yet. Besides, he’s confident and can’t reconcile this experience happening to him, someone experienced," Liu Banxia elaborated.

"Let’s speed things up. Whether he accepts or not, we’ll push him to embrace it. Reduce the time and help him set wearing a prosthetic and moving freely as a new goal."

"Once there’s hope, there’s meaning, right? As Grandpa Zhao said, breaking it down is harmless."

"I also mentioned he’d better learn to use crutches soon so he can volunteer with us as a guide," Liu Banxia added.

"Wow, you really dare to think anything up, is this legit?" Wu Mingyu asked astonished.

He genuinely didn’t expect Liu Banxia to be this bold. Such an approach results in either success or failure.

If it fails, and the patient complains, although Liu Banxia wouldn’t be punished, it wouldn’t feel great either.

But judging from the situation now? The patient seems to be coping?

Otherwise, Liu Banxia wouldn’t ask me to discuss prosthetics - the patient probably accepted it to some extent internally.

"See that? Our Director Liu is just that capable," Wang Chao chimed in.

"Tailor the approach to each person, right? What else can you do? He’s already recovered a lot. If he doesn’t join rehabilitation soon, it might affect the future prognosis," Liu Banxia said.

"His parents may have some money, but they are intellectuals, not like other VIPs who are wealthy. This situation should have drained quite a bit of the family’s savings; they need a good prosthetic,"

Wu Mingyu nodded. Prosthetic prices vary widely, affecting functionality, comfort, and other aspects.

Given this information from Liu Banxia, Wu Mingyu thought it was promising.

As long as the patient’s wound swelling subsides, prosthetic training can commence. The earlier the contact, the better the future outcome.

"By the way, how’s the auxiliary police officer from yesterday?" Liu Banxia proceeded to ask.

"Still in ICU, I haven’t gone to see them. The injuries are quite severe; Director Xu was busy until almost ten o’clock last night," Wu Mingyu said.

"I heard that during the leg repair process, the heart stopped beating twice. But we must persist with the repairs; otherwise, the leg would be utterly useless."

"I’m puzzled. The patient’s family hasn’t come here to see them yet. Have they just given up or what?" Wang Chao said.

"Who knows? Every family’s situation is a bit different. It doesn’t matter; there are laws to punish him," Liu Banxia said.

"Doctor Wu, has the patient’s condition been determined? When you get a chance, go check them out again. Maybe we’ll encounter an unexpected improvement, allowing the patient to recover faster and better."

"Alright, I know what to do. This morning I have more follow-up patients. Once I’m done with that, I’ll head there this afternoon to have a look," Wu Mingyu said.

"Okay, I also have some patients coming today. After the Spring Festival holiday, the year has been finalized, and the surgeries we need do also need to start," Liu Banxia stretched lazily.

"How many are there?" Wang Chao asked.

"Aside from the liver transplant, I think there are four. If I remember correctly, it’s a warm-up for the liver transplant, or else just staying idle these days gets a bit tiring," Liu Banxia said casually.

Wang Chao decided to ignore him; there’s truly no comparison.

The four surgeries mentioned must have a certain degree of complexity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t count the first and second level surgeries.

Better not to think about it; although this guy is just an attending physician, his work has already exceeded standard expectations.

As the workforce resumed, today’s patients genuinely increased compared to previous days. Perhaps they waited for work to resume to see the doctor; honestly, the sooner, the better.

Now, every test requires queuing up. If they came yesterday or the day before, even if there was a queue, it wouldn’t take much time.

"You’re quite at leisure, while we’re exhausted."

After some hustle, Shi Lei approached Liu Banxia.

"Actually, I’m busy too. Just now I’ve also received two patients; both are quite straightforward cases—either rectal cancer or colon cancer," Liu Banxia said with a hint of helplessness.

"Don’t worry, once you complete the liver transplant, there will be plenty of liver surgeries ahead," Shi Lei said with a smile.

"After all, you’re still young, so your reputation won’t spread very quickly. Take it slow; it’s still early days. Later, you might need to queue for surgeries, just like the director."

"Ah... I’m rather conflicted; the upcoming days will surely be busier. I’ll have to take my wife out on business trips; otherwise, the time spent away from home will be even more," Liu Banxia sighed.

"Hang in there; once the six interns can go solo, your pressure will lessen significantly. There’s truly no other way; you’re the only one who can perform NOSES surgery," Shi Lei comforted.

Liu Banxia rubbed his face; it’s a small worry following the joy.

Collaborating with Jinshui District Hospital certainly brings many benefits. But the downside of squeezing his personal rest time is also very evident.

It’s not whether he wants to go or not, it’s that when patients accumulate there, he has to go perform surgeries. That’s collaboration; there’s no opportunity to be selective about the cases.

After the lunar month, the formal collaboration will likely begin, and there will be lots of work to do. I miss my wife and kids—even though I go home every day, I wish for more time.

Especially the two little ones, growing bigger and more playful every day, with strong little hands and feet. As long as they’re awake, he can tire them out playing.

"Director Liu, an electric shock injury patient has just come in; should we admit them?" At this point, Qi Wentai approached.

"Let our Dr. Shi handle it; I’m considering some minor matters here," Liu Banxia said.

"Always avoiding work, but call in the thoracic department; we need to assess the severity of the electric shock as a precaution," Shi Lei said.

Qi Wentai nodded and went to make arrangements.

"Hang in there; I’m waiting for the patient’s test results," Liu Banxia said.

"Hopefully the organs haven’t been electrocuted to necrosis, and that they can be saved," Shi Lei commented.

For electric shock injury patients, the chance of successful rescue is genuinely low.

When powerful electric currents hit the body, the damage occurs from the inside out.

Protection against electrical leakage can help; what’s worrying is those old houses with thick fuses that don’t trip when they should.

Shi Lei prepared to admit the patient, while Liu Banxia returned to the consulting room. Those scheduled for his examinations have all arrived, and the next step is to review results and schedule operations.

Busy days, indeed, have officially started again.
