"President Liu, you should go eat first, I'll keep an eye on things here."

Checking the time, Qi Wentai said.

"You guys go ahead, I'll wait here for that young man's parents, they should be arriving soon." Liu Banxia replied. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Alright, I'll go eat and then I'll switch with you guys when I'm back." Qi Wentai nodded, not insisting on it any further.

After a few more minutes, the patient's friend led in a couple in their fifties from outside.

"Dr. Liu, these are Dongzi's parents. It took them some time to find here due to traffic in the city." The patient's friend said.

"Doctor, is Dongzi okay?" The patient's mother asked, wiping her tears.

"He's still in the ICU receiving emergency treatment. Please follow me, and I'll explain his condition to you." Liu Banxia said.

This is the normal reaction a family member should have. Not being entirely in the dark, they should be asking about the condition once they arrive.

"His condition is a bit complicated at the moment, but we've adopted the most suitable approach to adjust his state." After giving the couple some water, Liu Banxia continued.

"He has liver damage due to an overdose of medications, specifically common cold medicines like Paracetamol, Composite Pseudoephedrin Hydrochlorid Tablets, and 999 Cold Remedy."

"The treatment we are providing now is artificial liver blood exchange and hemofiltration, aiming to separate medication components from the blood to prevent further damage to the liver."

"Doctor, can he be saved?" The patient's father asked.

"We can't say for sure at this moment. We need to see how effective the upcoming treatment will be. This is a critical time, and we'll keep you informed of the latest results." Liu Banxia said.

Even though he wanted to say something to comfort the parents, he couldn't offer them false hope.

At this stage, he had to be truthful, as there could be many minor issues arising from false hopes.

The couple could only keep wiping their tears, never imagining they'd be going through such a situation upon waking up that morning, with their son ending up with liver damage from cold meds.

Liu Banxia gave the patient's friend a hint and went outside, "Discuss the payment matters when they are more emotionally stable. It's not that urgent, as long as it's settled today, it's fine."

"Sure, thank you so much." The patient's friend replied.

"If possible, take some time off work to accompany them. If the situation inside takes a turn for the worse, they might not be able to handle it." Liu Banxia suggested.

The patient's friend nodded, "Doctor, is there a way for someone from our factory to get involved in this?"

"In my opinion, it's unlikely. It's not a work-related injury, and even if they get involved, it would be more out of concern or humanitarian reasons." Liu Banxia said.

"Besides, he's still in the ICU, and even if they come, they wouldn't be able to see him. You can make your own judgment based on the situations you're familiar with."

"You can have your meals at the canteen here. Staying at the hospital is mainly about waiting for updates. If possible, find them a place outside to stay and keep the phone lines open."

The patient's friend nodded again, knowing that Liu Banxia was speaking the truth.

Just after returning to the lobby and staying for a while, the friend of the young lady from yesterday led a simply dressed old man over.

"Is this Qianqian's family member?" Liu Banxia asked.

The young lady's friend nodded, "Their home is quite far, and they haven't traveled much. Dr. Liu, we've managed to raise some money, and their family brought some more. It's not enough, though. Will it affect the treatment?"

"No, it won't. We're just in observation now. The surgery was significant, so moving her to a regular ward directly would be risky." Liu Banxia said.

"If possible, pay a portion of the fee, so it's not left hanging. Also, the parents of the person who hit her just arrived at the hospital, and it seems they want to discuss compensation but are asking for forgiveness."

"I can't get involved in this, but I think you should make a decision after communicating with the police and the patient."

"Oh, did they find out she's here because I posted the crowdfunding on social media?" The patient's friend asked, a bit flustered.

"Even if they know, it doesn't matter. In our hospital, we make the decisions. But whether you reconcile with them or pursue legal action is entirely up to you." Liu Banxia stated.

"Don't worry about the girl's injuries either. She's already received appropriate treatment, and the surgery was very successful. After observing for a day or two, she can be moved to a regular ward. With caution in daily life, she can live just like a normal person."

"Doctor, thank you for saving my daughter." The girl's father expressed his gratitude.

"It's already good enough that Qianqian is out of danger. Alright, I still have work to do. But you better find a place to stay. Even when she moves back to a regular ward, it won't be convenient for you to accompany her." Liu Banxia advised.

This is pretty much a standard statement, but it's necessary to remind them; otherwise, it could become a burden for the hospital.

With everything that needed to be explained settled, Liu Banxia felt much more at ease.

This is sort of like transferring the pressure; otherwise, it would have been on his mind the whole time.

"Banxia, have you eaten? We just finished our checkup." At this time, Liu Haibing and a few others walked over.

"Seeing you all smiling, I guess there's nothing wrong." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Drinking and eating meat every day, there are minor issues more or less, but no major problems, nothing serious." Liu Haibing said.

"But compared to them, my health is still the best. So, what do you think, can we go out for lunch? Let's go out for a bite, you were busy the whole day yesterday."

"I don't have the freedom to eat at any time, but if you don't mind, come to the cafeteria with me for a meal. I'll arrange it," Liu Banxia said.

"That works too, anyway, the food in your cafeteria is quite good." Liu Haibing nodded.

Actually, it doesn't matter what you eat, the important thing is to get closer to Liu Banxia.

Your own dad, your friend, they were all pretty much saved by Liu Banxia. That's real skill, needs to be connected with.

At this time, Qi Wentai and the others also returned after eating, and Liu Banxia greeted them and led the small group to the cafeteria.

"Banxia, how's Old Zhou doing?" Liu Haibing asked.

"I took a look in passing, it's okay, I guess. But given his age, we'll observe him in the ICU for a few more days. For him, it's better to be safe." Liu Banxia said.

"Make sure to watch him in the future, if he lives as before, other problems might arise. As you age, your body naturally declines a lot."

"Even if you focus on maintenance and fitness, you can't go against natural laws; you just age a bit slower. This includes all of you, your bodies have already started to decline."

"It's really the case, after forty, I truly feel it's getting worse each year," someone on the left said.

"I've thought it through; regardless of how busy I am, I must have an annual checkup. Didn't you see the person before me having a colonoscopy? They said there was a polyp on the colon. It's small, but it could be cancer."

"I'm okay, just have a few hemorrhoids." the person on the left added.

"If you have hemorrhoids, drink less and eat less spicy food, otherwise it's more suffering," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Sometimes I just don't remember. When I'm suffering, I swear I'll never drink again. But when it doesn't hurt that much, I forget about it," the guy admitted frankly.

"If it's frequent and severely swollen, better have a surgery," Liu Banxia said.

"Although surgery is painful too, it's short-term pain. Otherwise, it will keep tormenting you, only getting worse. Unless you can really give up alcohol and eat lightly."

The guy grimaced, "I've thought about surgery, just really afraid of the pain."

"Haha, there's no way around it, you'll have to suffer either way." Liu Banxia joked.

Hemorrhoids and anal fistulas are a bit different. If it were an anal fistula, he'd persuade a bit more, since it could develop into a complex anal fistula.

But for hemorrhoids, if one is careful, they can manage it. Even if they can't, surgery is an option later on, although painful.

Upon reaching the cafeteria, handling the bill naturally fell to Liu Banxia. It wasn't much, just a standard work meal, nothing fancy, as that wouldn't make a good impression.

While getting their food, seeing a lot of people greet Liu Banxia surprised Liu Haibing.

He knew Liu Banxia was a notable figure at the hospital, but he seemed to underestimate his standing. It hasn't even been a year, how did it change so much?

He didn't know this was partly due to the bonus of competing for the deputy director position. Even though it hasn't been officially announced, everyone knows it's a sure thing.

"Brother, you're quite something here, aren't you?" Liu Haibing asked.

"You're flattering me. Not really, I'm just chatty, and can get along with everyone, so naturally, I know more people." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"When Uncle Liu was hospitalized, I used to chat often. We're all about happy consultations, talking and laughing, and the treatment gets done, and people get better."

Several people laughed, knowing Liu Banxia was being humble. Even if you're talkative, that doesn't guarantee respect from others.

On the contrary, if you're a chatterbox, people might find you annoying.
