You’ve also gained 1,000 points in intestinal surgery proficiency, 1,000 points in spleen removal surgery proficiency, 1,000 points in gastric surgery proficiency, and 1,000 points in kidney surgery proficiency.

This surgery has been rated Perfect.

You’ve gained an additional 1,000 experience points, 500 points in diagnostic proficiency, 1,000 points in suture proficiency, and 1,000 points in dressing change proficiency.

You’ve also gained 2,000 points in intestinal surgery proficiency, 2,000 points in spleen removal surgery proficiency, 2,000 points in gastric surgery proficiency, 2,000 points in kidney surgery proficiency, plus 10 Glory Points.

Congratulations, your spleen removal surgery skill level has been upgraded to Level 3, current proficiency 21,148/49,999.

Congratulations, your intestinal surgery skill level has been upgraded to Level 3, current proficiency 21,090/49,999.

Seeing all these mission rewards before his eyes, Liu Banxia almost forgot to celebrate the operation’s success. He was so moved he nearly cried. Finally, another major surgical skill has reached Level 3! It was so incredibly difficult.

Was leveling up really that easy? Not a chance. After reaching Level 2, only exceptionally difficult surgeries would grant a large number of skill proficiency points.

Before this, only appendix removal and gallbladder removal had reached Level 3. This was because patients admitted with acute abdominal pain had a high probability of these two conditions, so he had participated in more of these surgeries.

Slightly more common were intestinal and spleen surgeries; emergency patients also had a higher probability of injuries to these two organs.

Further down the list were the stomach and kidneys.

Many people with stomach ailments, like gastric ulcers or gastric bleeding, were directly handled by the internal medicine department. An endoscope could resolve many symptoms.

The same was true for kidneys. The cases that reached him were either nephrectomies or kidney transplants. He had only assisted in transplants, never performing one as the lead surgeon.

Other kidney-related conditions were typically handled by the internal medicine department, with more severe cases transferred to nephrology.

Skill level advancement was absolutely linked to hands-on practice.

His diagnostic proficiency increased quickly because he saw many patients. Especially since many cases were like punching above his weight, granting more bonuses. He was currently leading the pack by a wide margin, about to reach Level 5.

"What’s wrong? Struck dumb with happiness?"

As Liu Banxia was tallying his gains, Shi Lei glanced at him.

"Not dumbstruck, just recovering. I was incredibly tense just now. Is the kid awake yet?" Liu Banxia asked.

"We still have to wait a few minutes. Considering the magnitude of this surgery and the child’s young age, Wang Lei decided to proceed slowly with waking him," Shi Lei said.

"It’s a good thing you preselected those two blood vessels; otherwise, it could have been really dangerous. I was panicking a bit back then, terrified something else would go wrong."

"Sigh... tell me about it. I was worried too. I didn’t expect the blood vessels to nearly become the biggest obstacle in this operation. Some of those vessels were incredibly fragile," Liu Banxia nodded in agreement.

"Collect yourself, then properly enjoy the joy of success. The surgical record needs to be meticulously documented; this operation holds great reference value," Zhou Shuwen advised.

"Director, Dr. Shi should handle this. He’s meticulous and thorough," Liu Banxia said very seriously.

Shi Lei rolled his eyes. "If you want to slack off, just say so. You’re exasperating."

"I’m not trying to slack off. The director himself said it has great reference value! My meager skills aren’t up to writing something like that. I’m fine with hands-on work, but this kind of documentation is beyond me," Liu Banxia stated.

"Alright, Shi Lei can write it then. However, you also need to write up the part you were responsible for, Liu Banxia. We’re collaborating on this. Especially regarding your identification of suitable backup veins, you need to describe that clearly," Zhou Shuwen nodded.

"No problem. Oh, the child’s awake! Great, this means it’s truly a success," Liu Banxia added.

Now, everyone’s gaze turned to the child. The effects of the anesthesia hadn’t completely worn off, so the little one still had some discomfort to endure.

When they stepped out of the operating room and informed the child’s parents of the successful surgery, the couple was ecstatic. They wiped away tears, thanking them profusely.

Upon returning to the Emergency Center, quite a few people were there to welcome them. To Liu Banxia’s surprise, Chen Zhenxing, Li Mingwu, and Zhou Zhiyong were all waiting.

"Congratulations on completing such a difficult operation. You’ve filled many gaps for our hospital," Chen Zhenxing commented.

"Chief Director, we still need to monitor the child’s recovery. This was a major surgery, after all; even many adults might not fare well," Zhou Shuwen said.

Chen Zhenxing nodded. "Autografts generally have somewhat better outcomes. You all need to thoroughly summarize this experience and strive to challenge even greater difficulties in the future."

"This success is a phased victory for us, merely a small peak we’ve summited. The entire Emergency Center is the highest mountain; we must support it and build it up well."

"It’s projected that the day after tomorrow, your Emergency Center’s CCU will be operational. This will alleviate some of the pressure on your ICU ward. We will also reassign personnel from relevant departments as quickly as possible, which should ease your workload somewhat."

Hearing this, Liu Banxia felt a surge of excitement. This was confirmed news; "the day after tomorrow" meant exactly that, and it would genuinely lighten the load for both him and the ICU significantly.

"I heard your Emergency Center has a tradition of rewarding successful achievements with chicken drumsticks. So for today’s lunch, I’ll treat you all to chicken drumsticks, on me," Chen Zhenxing added.

Everyone chuckled, their eyes darting towards Liu Banxia.

The chicken drumstick tradition was his brainchild, and to think even the Chief Director remembered it.

The money was a small matter; the significance of this chicken drumstick was far greater. It celebrated the success of this surgery, signified a new goal for the Emergency Center, and, moreover, affirmed the Emergency Center’s value.

After these words of encouragement, the three top leaders led Zhou Shuwen into the office. Liu Banxia wanted to eavesdrop, but he didn’t muster the courage.

"President Liu, your hands are truly amazing! How are you so steady, accurate, and fast? The instant the blood vessel tore, your hemostatic forceps were already there," Wei Yuan exclaimed.

"Yes, yes! Teacher Wei hadn’t even finished speaking, and you had already stopped the bleeding," Xu Yino chimed in enthusiastically.

"I was completely focused on it. You all know the key aspects of this surgery and had considered the condition of the blood vessels. It’s just that no one expected them to be so fragile; it just seemed a bit abrupt, that’s all," Liu Banxia said.

"You all can practice it too, like with that little game of catching things falling from a shelf. I’m too embarrassed to play with them; otherwise, all the prizes would be mine."

If anyone else had said this, it might have sounded like bragging. But since Liu Banxia said it, no one took it as boasting; he was merely stating a fact.

His reaction today was definitely much more difficult than that falling object game. And even so, Liu Banxia had handled it effortlessly.

Even if someone else had been a bit slower, it might not have affected today’s surgery. But that’s just one possibility; after all, if things had taken a different turn, no one could predict what might have happened next.

"This surgery is over now. If you really think about it, the operational difficulty itself wasn’t high; it was essentially just dissection, severing, and transplantation," Liu Banxia continued.

"It might look impressive, but that’s only because many organs were transplanted, and time was a factor. Don’t overestimate this surgery. It’s like the saying: ’herding one sheep is the same as herding two.’"

"Teacher Liu, you make it sound so effortless. With any other team, today’s surgery really might have turned out differently," Xu Yino said with a wry smile.

"That’s why you all need to work hard. Only then can you improve your skills," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Alright, get back to seeing patients. The rest is up to you all. Dr. Shi and I genuinely need to rest. Being in the operating room is incredibly draining; that’s no joke."

Everyone chuckled again. Indeed, those who had observed in the operating room mentioned that Liu Banxia’s expression was very grave at the time.

But his performance today was truly outstanding. Whether it was quickly clamping the ruptured blood vessel or identifying the two backup vessels, these all required solid skill as a foundation.

Liu Banxia stretched out with a big yawn, a genuine wave of fatigue washing over him. Such a tense situation consumes a lot of stamina. He was reluctant to use a Vitality-Boosting Concoction to recover his stamina, so he could only muddle through for now.

"President Liu, do you think this surgery will be included in textbooks?" Wang Chao asked curiously.

Liu Banxia was taken aback. I don’t know about that. Probably not? Such situations are too rare, after all; they’re special cases. The examples in textbooks are all common diseases. What use would it be to include such a unique one?

"Sigh... that’s such a shame. It would be great if it were included in a textbook," Wang Chao lamented.

"But it doesn’t matter. This surgery was so successful, it’s enough to make a name for us. Plus, your recent fame hasn’t died down yet. I think your promotion to deputy director in the future is pretty much secured."

"You haven’t heard some new gossip, have you?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Hehe, Vice Director Zhou will probably be transferred back to Binhai Medical College. Then our Director Zhou will likely become a Vice Director as a matter of course," Wang Chao said with a grin.

"However, this isn’t officially confirmed yet; it’s supposedly the plan. The competition for the Vice Director position is quite fierce. Besides, there will be an extra vacant spot, and who knows where they’ll find someone to fill it."

Liu Banxia shook his head. Forget it, I’m not going to dwell on these things. It’s no use dwelling on them; they’re too far removed from me. Actually, if I could just get a minor official title, enough to give me some confidence in front of Qiaoqiao, that would be fine. I’m not picky about anything else.

"What more could you possibly pick? Your girlfriend is so wonderful and pampers you so much, what else do you want? I’m heartbroken! I’m going to see patients," Wang Chao grumbled, then sauntered off.
