The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 802: Everyone’s Got Their Eyes on the Six Little Ones
(Thanks to "gentle talk with me" and panda~@~monthly ticket encouragement)
Among the emergency patients admitted to the emergency center, some are victims of various accidents, like the girl who was beaten. It's not uncommon for the counterpart to control the money to negotiate terms.
This is the reality of society. You can scorn money, call it an external thing. But for your necessities of life, you really can't do without it.
Liu Banxia can only control so much, like stopping people from disturbing his patients. As for the outcome, that's not something he can intervene in.
Anyway, Liu Yiqing was quite angry when she found out, and Liu Banxia sometimes wonders if this girl is the embodiment of a righteous hero.
Liu Banxia doesn't concern himself with these matters anymore. He's said what he needed to say. Everyone lives their own life, and you can't interfere with your own will.
In the morning, after getting up, he went to the cafeteria for a hearty breakfast, and then leisurely went to the emergency center.
"Teacher Liu, today we will conduct targeted suture training for the interns. Is that okay?" Xu Yino asked.
"No problem, anyway we've got plenty of time. There's no issue with honing basic skills," Liu Banxia replied.
"Hehe, Teacher Liu, the program is being aired tomorrow. Are you excited?" Xu Yino asked.
"For an old hand like me, what's there to be excited about? I don't even know what the program is like yet. We'll have to see once it's aired," Liu Banxia said.
"Anyway, it doesn't really affect me. Whether it's good or not, it is what it is. So don't expect to use this as blackmail for a pig trotter meal,"
Xu Yino looked at him very frustrated, "How can you be so stingy? Isn't it tough for us to guide these interns? We're exhausted every day."
"You know exhaustion now? Think about what mindset I had when I was guiding you guys. Now you guys are six guiding four, I was one guiding six."
"Oh well... the kids are here, gotta say a few words to them."
Xu Yino acted as if she didn't hear what Liu Banxia said and wandered off to the side on her own.
Liu Banxia shook his head helplessly. After all, the emergency center didn't require too much of his attention at the moment, so he went directly to the ICU upstairs.
The families had already arrived early, waiting outside. Even if they couldn't see their loved ones, it was good to stay there.
"Brother Zhang, how's the liver of the patient who overdosed?" Liu Banxia asked.
"How can there be effects so quickly! We'll test again in the afternoon to see what the levels of transaminase and bilirubin are," Zhang Zhiyuan replied.
"Even if there's some improvement, given the situation, he would probably have to stay in the ICU for four or five days. That's assuming there's improvement, but the prognosis isn't very optimistic."
"Lately, we've had more patients in the ICU. It's exhausting, President Liu, what should we do? You are talented, think of a way to save us from this dire situation,"
Liu Banxia looked at him helplessly, "There's inherently a shortage of ICU doctors. Didn't we already send one from the inpatient department? What else can I do?"
"This year's interns and community trainees seem to be okay, right? Have you thought about guiding them towards our ICU?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
"That depends on your own efforts. How much power do I have to help guide them? Most community trainees need three years of training anyway, there's plenty of time, it's up to your strategy," Liu Banxia replied.
"But the standards for ICU doctors are really high. To be qualified for ICU work, one generally has no problems with internal medicine and emergency admissions."
"That's why we need your help, isn't it? You're responsible for training, so you need to promote it appropriately. Pediatrics can grant some leeway, and our ICU can too. Right?" Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Well, there's no wall without cracks. As soon as I said it, you heard it. I'll mention it again later, but the work here is indeed exhausting. You need not only to endure hardships but also to have a big heart."
"Ah... I know that, which is why I need your help. You look at me but what are you glancing around for?" Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"You never know what's startling until you see it. When did that girl sneak up here? Don't spoil her too much," Liu Banxia said, glancing at Liu Yiqing hiding sneakily not far away.
"She came early in the morning, chatting with the beaten patient. Well, she can help take care of the patients when she has time. I'll just turn a blind eye since you don't give us more people," Zhang Zhiyuan replied.
"Oh boy, now I'm the villain here, how is that related to me? How are those two abdominal aortic dissections recovering?" Liu Banxia asked.
"The surgeries were done beautifully, and the recovery is very good. Especially this girl, you handled the spleen and aneurysm in a timely manner, replenished blood quickly, and with her youth, she can be transferred to a general ward this afternoon," Zhang Zhiyuan replied.
"I heard the family isn't very well-off, so let's observe her one less day. The other patient's condition is a bit poorer, given his age, recovery is slower. But overall, the indicators are fine, just to be safe."
"How about leaving Liu Yiqing to stay here with us for a few days? She's actually quite good. She has plenty of patience with patients, which is rare."
"In fact, after working in the ICU for a long time, it really wears down a person's fighting spirit and patience. Someone like her is already very rare."
"Too many people are eyeing these six little ones, I won't let a single one go. They all need to stay below and work well at reception," Liu Banxia said.
"Retreat, if she asks later, just say I didn't see her. Otherwise, she'll still be on edge. This patient has taken up too much of her energy."
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded, understanding that Liu Banxia treasures the six little ones he's trained. If it were anyone else sneaking into the ICU without doing their work below, they would have been called out long ago.
"Teacher Zhang, did Teacher Liu find me out?"
After Liu Banxia left, Liu Yiqing slid over sneakily.
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head firmly, "No, if I didn't mention it, how would she find out? The patient is recovering well because you kept them company, that's your achievement."
Being praised, Liu Yiqing was delighted but then frowned, "Something feels off. Teacher Liu has sharp eyes, he must have noticed me. It's over, it's over. At least it's going to cost me a pig's trotter."
"How do you know he noticed you?" Zhang Zhiyuan was a bit curious.
"Sigh... Teacher Liu's eyes are very keen. I don't have the courage to lie in front of him. Only Xu Yino dares to try bluffing. Liu Yiqing sighed.
"As for the other four, don't even think about it. Whatever Teacher Liu says, they take as gospel. They've long lost the courage to resist. Sigh... I better hurry down and admit my mistake, otherwise who knows what kind of torture they'll come up with."
Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but chuckle, but he also had to admire Liu Banxia's sharp eyesight.
It's truly amazing; just a glance and he recognized the figure from behind.
Don't think that just because you work together all the time, you'd recognize each other easily. Wearing lab coats, masks on, with so many nurses walking around, it's not that easy to recognize someone by their figure.
He admired Liu Banxia's precise eyesight, as well as Liu Yiqing's understanding of Liu Banxia.
He was somewhat envious; it was clear that Liu Banxia truly cared while mentoring them, winning the genuine respect of these six little ones.
And completely dispelled any thoughts of fooling them into coming over for fun, don't bother, they're not coming.
As for Liu Banxia's medical skills, there's no need to mention that. The reason why patients in the ICU have suddenly increased is due to the result of Liu Banxia's relentless rounds of surgery.
Originally, there were already many major surgeries, and with Liu Banxia's recent participation in the commotion, how could it not be a big deal?
Younger patients with good bodies can stay a couple of days less, but older ones can't be released early easily, it's prone to problems.
Just as Liu Banxia returned to the emergency center, Liu Yiqing rushed up from behind.
"Teacher Liu, how about I treat you to a pig's trotter for lunch?" Seeing Liu Banxia turn around, Liu Yiqing quickly said.
"You think a pig's trotter can bribe me?" Liu Banxia's expression was disdainful.
"Then I'll add another one for dinner," Liu Yiqing said.
"Alright then, actually, I was gonna say one is enough." Liu Banxia nodded.
Liu Yiqing was exasperated; always tormenting people with words like these. It's not about a pig's trotter, it's the insult that's strong, even if the harm isn't big.
"I was just about to call you, make it quick. I think Linlin and I can't handle it alone, come help."
Before Liu Banxia even had a chance to chuckle, Chen Xuehai hurried over.
"What's up? Another large myxoma?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Take a look at the scans first." After speaking, Chen Xuehai pulled Liu Banxia over to the computer.
"Oh boy, is this necrotizing fasciitis? Around the organs, in the thoracic cavity, is there still time?" Upon seeing it clearly, Liu Banxia also frowned.
"Whether there's time or not, the only choice left is debridement. But I'm not confident, the patient came in with suppurative pharyngitis. Doctor Du felt something was off and immediately ordered an urgent CT," Chen Xuehai said.
"As soon as the scans were done, they called me. So, what do you think? Do you have the confidence to clear all of this together? The patient's current state seems okay, no signs of shock yet."
"Whether I'm confident or not, there's no other option, get ready and let's head into surgery." Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.
The onset of necrotizing fasciitis is too rapid, if the patient develops symptoms of septic shock, even rescue is usually a slim hope.
Even in the current patient's case, if debridement is not thorough and comprehensive, it might just be a futile effort.
He's admitted several patients with this kind of illness over the past year, none of them were easy to handle.
