The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 829: Xu Qixin Takes the Initiative to Invite

"How come there are so many necrotic lesions?"

Looking at the images displayed on the monitor, Xu Hui couldn't help but murmur.

Liu Banxia's brows furrowed as well; the situation was indeed a bit troubling. Some of the necrotic areas already showed signs of inflammation, Rou's cough and fever were likely caused by these numerous small necrotic lesions.

Moreover, it wasn't just in the lungs, even the bronchial tubes had lesions, though not as severe as those in the lungs.

"Could it be some kind of infection?" Liu Banxia asked softly.

"It's still hard to judge at the moment. Let's take samples from multiple points and have the lab cultivate them quickly," Xu Hui suggested.

"Dr. Liu, is it very serious?" Bao Chunlai asked nervously.

"Chairman Bao, don't worry for now. We will start with mild antipyretics to alleviate Rou's fever. Pathological tests take time, and based on current findings, it seems to be caused by chronic lung disease," Liu Banxia explained.

"Hey..."

Bao Chunlai sighed, feeling somewhat regretful. Had he known, he should have gone to a larger hospital. But now that they were here, transferring to another hospital wasn't feasible.

"Liu Yiqing, stay with Rou more," Liu Banxia said after finishing the examinations.

Liu Yiqing nodded, understanding the severity of the situation; this was no ordinary pneumonia.

"The problem is quite serious, do you have any thoughts?" Xu Hui asked after stepping outside.

"My mind is a complete mess right now. I considered it might be some immune system disease, but it's concentrated in the lungs. Presently, it's unclear whether the necrosis is caused by an infection or if the necrosis is causing the infection," Liu Banxia voiced his concerns.

"Let's wait for the results. Avoid using other medications for now as drug insensitivity could potentially impact liver and kidney functions," Xu Hui advised.

Liu Banxia nodded, acknowledging the lack of options available at the moment.

Tonight, Bao Chunlai and Qiu Huaili likely won't be able to drink together; Rou's condition is too severe to be in the mood for drinking.

Back downstairs, Liu Banxia pondered further and sent a message to Liu Yiqing, suggesting a urine test for the patient if possible.

One more test might provide another avenue of thought. If Rou were in normal mental health, it would've been done already. But due to Rou's mental state, the test wasn't ordered previously.

Seeing Liu Yiqing was able to interact with Rou prompted Liu Banxia to consider it.

While contemplating, Liu Banxia noticed Xu Qixin approaching.

"Your patient's issue isn't too severe; there aren't many areas that need to be removed from the eyelid," Xu Qixin stated.

"Seeing his condition scared me at first; I thought it had spread to the brain," Liu Banxia admitted.

"How are our burn patients doing? You're the most skilled in burn management at the hospital, and we rarely receive severely burned patients," Xu Qixin brought up.

"It's actually simpler than it seems; managing burn patients is straightforward as long as standard procedures are followed. The main issue is the pain during dressing changes. I was hoping you could assist with changing the dressings for two patients with larger burn areas if you have time," Xu Qixin requested.

"Sure, can we do it now? I'm free at the moment," Liu Banxia agreed.

"Thank you so much. We changed them this morning, and even with pain medication, the patients were on the verge of breaking down," Xu Qixin reported.

Liu Banxia didn't delay, understanding the importance of the task.

He hadn't expected Xu Qixin to personally ask for his help with the dressing change, which might ease tensions between them.

After all, they would be working together in the emergency department going forward, and maintaining strained relationships would hinder the work.

If Liu Banxia becomes the deputy director of the emergency department, he shouldn't imagine he could dictate everything; the top members of each department have significant authority.

If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have asked for support from everyone while chatting with Xu Hui earlier. It wasn't just lip service; he genuinely needed it.

Arriving at the burn ward, Liu Banxia changed into scrubs and walked inside.

Compared to the serious burn patients he handled personally in the past, these two were moderately severe, but for burn patients, the pain from dressing changes was more intense than that in the proctology department.

Due to the large wound areas, the procedure would take much longer.

The nurses were surprised to see both of them enter together; they hadn't expected them to team up.

"Wow, President Liu is here. I should learn something," commented Feng Jingzhi, the attending doctor from the plastic surgery department, as he changed a patient's dressing.

"Let's learn from each other. Changing dressings is the extent of my expertise," Liu Banxia replied.

"You've scheduled quite a few surgeries recently; are you used to working here? It's actually no different from the inpatient department and often more convenient with direct patient admissions," Feng Jingzhi added.

"In reality, it's busier than in the inpatient department. Many patients have facial injuries that need attention," Feng Jingzhi said.

"But I heard that previously you basically handled all of it yourself; your suturing skills are excellent. Want us to give you more in the future?"

"Please spare me. I just want a good rest. Just thinking about having to do surgeries makes my head hurt," Liu Banxia quickly said.

"Laziness is the enemy. I'm just like that now. I've gotten used to getting off work on time, and now I don't even feel like going to work. Oh, right, Doctor Xu, there's actually something I need to discuss."

"We have patients who come in at night as well. If you're interested, you can arrange for someone to be on duty at night. They don't need to participate in emergency admissions. Just whenever there's a patient urgently needing treatment and the family requests it, you can help out."

"In the past, after we admitted patients, we seldom asked questions and went straight to rescue them. Now that our resources have improved, we can also study this aspect."

"But you can't go home to sleep; you'll have to stay here. There are no other impacts; you might as well earn some pocket money. If you're interested, you can try operating it for a while."

"Sure, that's no problem." Xu Qixin nodded.

"Some of the patients we've encountered did choose to get re-treated because of postoperative scar tissue. Especially in the summer, patients who wouldn't have paid attention originally start to notice."

"All right, it's settled then. I'll mention it to Qi when I go out later. Anyway, the emergency center's services are becoming increasingly comprehensive."

"Okay, this patient's medicine has been changed, let's move on to the next one. The tolerance is quite strong, so focus on recovery, nothing else for now."

Ding! Admission task completed

Gained 50 experience points, 100 points of wound dressing skill proficiency

Liu Banxia's speed at changing the dressing surprised Xu Qixin. Before his eyes, amidst chatting, the change was already completed.

In terms of technique, it's quite similar to mine, but Liu Banxia just does it so quickly.

Moreover, from the patient's feedback, it's quite good. Although they grit their teeth to endure the pain, if I were the one changing the dressing, the patient would cry out in pain.

When Liu Banxia was changing the dressing for the second patient, Xu Qixin paid extra attention.

It was truly remarkable; during debridement, Liu Banxia cleared a large area with just one scrape. Not only was the speed fast, but the area cleaned was also large. This saved time, and the patients didn't suffer as much.

Ding! Admission task completed

Gained 50 experience points, 50 points of wound dressing skill proficiency.

"OK, my task is done. I'm off, got a patient on the other side I haven't figured out yet," Liu Banxia said.

"Thank you, I'll rely on you for the next few days," Xu Qixin said.

"No worries, I used to frequently help out in the proctology department. Just been a bit busy since I became the resident chief," Liu Banxia said.

After speaking, he didn't linger and strolled out.

"Dr. Liu's dressing-changing technique is truly amazing; it's hard for us to learn." Xu Qixin remarked.

"When he was in the plastic surgery department, there was a surgery performed by Director Hu for a friend's baby. He was the one who changed the baby's dressing, and the baby didn't make any fuss," Feng Jingzhi said.

"Dr. Feng, that child's name is Doudou, a very cute little guy," a nurse chimed in.

"Right, I got so rushed I couldn't remember just now. I think it's the child of the well-known President Qiu?" Feng Jingzhi asked.

"Yes, President Qiu also had surgery then, and President Liu often dropped by his ward to freeload fruit," the nurse said with a laugh.

After saying that, she seemed to feel she had said too much, and somewhat guiltily glanced at Xu Qixin.

However, Xu Qixin's thoughts weren't on her but instead focused on observing the place where Liu Banxia just changed the dressing.

"I heard that Dr. Liu used to be solely responsible for debridement and dressing changes when he was in the emergency department?" Xu Qixin asked.

The nurse nodded, "At that time, Dr. Liu even dubbed himself the 'Debridement Prince.' Especially as the number of patients increased, Dr. Liu's help lightened everyone's workload a lot."

Xu Qixin nodded, developing a preliminary understanding of Liu Banxia.

Even though there is a competitive relationship between the two, it's just fair competition without any grudges. It was just the rumor that emerged last time, saying the two were at loggerheads, which caused some friction.

Watchers of a commotion don't fear exacerbating the situation, it doesn't matter what the reason is; go with your understanding.

Xu Qixin worked for such a long time, naturally also aware that many people came to Zhou Shuwen for surgery, and the surgeries Liu Banxia attended were actually Zhou Shuwen's patients.

In the future, he will continue to work in the emergency center, and even if he can't become a deputy director, he can still become a broader plastic surgery director and improve his medical skills.

Indeed, private plastic surgery hospitals offer great benefits, but it's rather challenging to seek growth there.
