"Teacher Liu, how can you provoke him like this? He’s already feeling very conflicted, and you keep provoking him," Liu Yiqing said with a hint of complaint.
Liu Banxia laughed, "What else can we do if we don’t provoke him? Without provoking, how would you know what his problem is?"
"But you can’t provoke him like that either. There are always more tactful ways," Liu Yiqing mumbled.
"Silly girl, I’ve at least seen a psychologist, so I know a bit about this. This is communication between patients, and outsiders like you don’t get it," Liu Banxia said seriously.
Liu Yiqing was a bit dumbfounded. She truly didn’t expect Liu Banxia to give such a strong reason.
Although she was mumbling just now, she actually wanted to ask Liu Banxia how he came to his conclusion. Anyway, she thought that provoking the patient like this would make it really difficult to get him to accept surgery.
"Teacher Liu, do you think the patient will agree? Based on the way you’ve been provoking him?" Liu Yiqing asked.
"If you want to ask, just say it, no need to mumble," Liu Banxia replied.
"Let me put it this way, even if I tell him like this, I don’t know if he will agree. It’s all about luck, but we’ve fulfilled our duty anyway."
"Teacher Liu, can we just be serious?" Liu Yiqing became anxious.
"That’s exactly what it is. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation in my life," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Based on my experience as a patient, a lot of stress is self-imposed. What we care deeply about might be what we most want to avoid."
"His issue is his girlfriend, just like my issue was the pressure of becoming deputy director. I thought I had no pressure, but it actually affected me."
"We might think of illusions as just illusions, something unreal. But that’s an outsider’s attitude. As for him, the insider, he knows it’s an illusion, but his heart firmly believes it’s real."
"Not to mention that his fortune-telling skills are guided by his illusory figure and are so accurate. It’s some form of psychological suggestion, making him increasingly believe that the illusion is real."
"Anyway, my idea is simple. Since he believes the illusion is real, let’s start from there. If we can’t persuade him, let his girlfriend persuade him."
"Some ideas coming from his imaginary girlfriend, I think, are a combination of her personality and the result he hopes for."
"Then isn’t it all set? Doesn’t he hope to reunite with his girlfriend after he dies?" Liu Yiqing said.
"Not necessarily, it still depends on his girlfriend’s personality," Liu Banxia replied.
"She should be a very nice and kind person, otherwise, how could she say we’re all good people? Regardless of whether there’s conflict or opposition, or it’s all thanks to his girlfriend’s efforts, I still think there is hope."
"Of course, I really don’t understand this matter. But I feel that sometimes you need to provoke him, or else just catering to him might not help. Maybe the provocation will make him see the light? It’s called using one’s own spear to attack one’s own shield."
Liu Yiqing nodded. Regardless of what happens, the result now is that he has been provoked, and the outcome will depend on what decision the patient makes next.
"When is your emergency knowledge-to-campus activity starting? How many people do you need to mobilize?" Chen Xuehai walked over.
"It’ll be soon. We’ve already asked the Municipal Youth League Committee to get in touch with the various universities. We need about 15 people for the first batch, and it’ll take the whole afternoon," Liu Banxia said.
"Since some college students tend to sleep in the morning, we also need to coordinate with the schools on scheduling. Afternoons are generally more available."
"Even though it’s teaching some of the students, we still hope to have more students participate. That way, the result will be much better."
"Fifteen people, that’s quite a number. You have plenty of surgery interns, so you should contribute more," Chen Xuehai said.
"Yeah... Surgery and Internal Medicine play the main roles, and you guys assist. I wouldn’t dare to pull people from Orthopedics and Pediatrics; that would lead to a rebellion," Liu Banxia sighed.
Pediatrics is always busy, and it’s hard to cover the primary doctors because there’s a shortage everywhere. So, the current interns and training doctors are like Chen Hongyang’s treasures.
"But you should also head out for a tour. I’ll lead the first trip, starting at the University of Technology, and then visit other schools," Liu Banxia continued.
"Alright then, is there any specific time requirement?" Chen Xuehai asked.
"Once the Municipal Youth League Committee has a detailed plan, we can draft a general procedure for them to follow. We can’t take care of everything; they need to contribute too," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"But I expect the plan to come out quickly. After the recent sudden death incident, many are surely paying attention to this, and schools need to take it seriously."
Chen Xuehai nodded, indeed, things will move swiftly as long as they are prioritized.
At this moment, Liu Banxia’s phone rang, and seeing that it was Qu Feng calling, he felt a little puzzled.
"Reporter Qu, is there another task?" Liu Banxia asked after answering.
"You should know better than me, aren’t you guys doing that emergency knowledge school promotion activity? It’s very meaningful," Qu Feng said.
"Which school are you planning to go to? Let me know in advance so I can go for on-site reporting. It will be the kind that gets on the news, how about it?"
"My goodness, you guys are really well-informed. We just made contact here, and you’ve already found out?" Liu Banxia asked in surprise.
"What’s the big deal? The Municipal Propaganda Department and Youth League Committee are all involved in this, and it’s such a meaningful thing, it must be publicized," Qu Feng said.
"However, I guess you won’t be idle. It’s definitely right to follow you. So, will you give me that face? I’ve never made things difficult for you during interviews."
"Okay, you’re making it sound like I’m not easy to get along with. I’ll notify you once the specific time is set. But my first location will definitely be at the University of Technology," Liu Banxia said.
"Actually, I don’t understand what’s worth filming here. It’s just some emergency knowledge and skills. If you’re not afraid of having nothing to do, go ahead," he added.
"Thank you, Director Liu, so it’s a deal," Qu Feng said.
"Alright, alright, are you guys only reporting once or doing follow-up reports? We’re doing multiple rounds, and the second round will be led by Director Chen from our emergency center," Liu Banxia said.
"We’ll definitely do follow-up reports. It seems you really value this activity. Having a director-level leader, this time I’ll be responsible for the reports," Qu Feng replied.
"Okay, let’s leave it at that for now," Liu Banxia said.
At least the message got across, and Qu Feng received it, so that’s fine.
"Eating alone won’t make you fat," as they say. Here’s another chance to get on the news, and I’ve already been featured many times. But what about Chen Xuehai? As the deputy director in charge of business at the emergency center, I can’t let him keep contributing silently.
Whether he cares or not is his business, but whether I’ve considered it is mine.
In this new situation, Liu Banxia approached Wang Chao.
"What are you up to? Why does your gaze make me uneasy?" Wang Chao asked.
"Nothing, Auntie Zheng put in a word, so maybe the plan from there will come faster," Liu Banxia said.
"Just now, Qu Feng from the municipal TV station called me to do follow-up reporting. I just wanted to ask you, what’s your attitude? Do you have any other thoughts?"
Wang Chao shook his head, "No other thoughts, and I won’t go to other schools with you guys. I’ll just stay quietly at our emergency center, won’t get involved in anything else."
"Don’t have any concerns, you guys arrange things as you see fit. My mom putting in a word wasn’t to get me on the news. I’m just a chief resident now, have to keep a low profile."
"When in the future I get a rank or position, then you can feel free to shower benefits on me. I won’t mind then."
"Why? When I was chief resident, I was on the news a few times too, I thought it was great," Liu Banxia said.
"Can you compare? Can I match up to your standards?" Wang Chao sighed.
"For now, I’ll just focus on being a good chief resident, do the fecal transplant project well, and learn more surgical skills. That’s my task."
"How can I compare to you? I have to be down-to-earth. Otherwise, even if I earn legitimate honors, people will think it’s because of my mom’s influence."
"People always think with my mom around, no matter what job I do, it’ll go smoothly. It’s one-sided; we’re in a technical field, without real skills, no one can prop you up."
"Anyway, I’m not in a hurry, I’m still young. Our emergency center will have to upgrade in the future, and we can plan then. Now it’s just about accumulating experience, the more the better, that’s what’s called ’laying a thick foundation to launch a thin attack’. "
Liu Banxia gave a thumbs up, "Having such a clear head, you’re not bad."
"Sigh... always have to be careful, life’s not that easy," Wang Chao said.
"In terms of self-discipline, you’re much stronger than me," Liu Banxia said.
"Let’s not talk about me, what’s the situation with your fortune-telling patient? Still not doing the surgery?" Wang Chao asked curiously.
"It’s a headache, I’ve advised for ages, now it depends on whether he can figure it out himself," Liu Banxia said with a bitter smile.
In fact, he had a special concern in his heart, it was the guy’s warning about potential trouble. But he didn’t say what kind of trouble, and that made the situation tricky.
