Chapter 1050: Chapter 1050: Only the Heart Can Heal the Heart
(Thank you DRDER, liuzhaoyang, Simon Nie, and the night wind sound for the Moon Ticket encouragement)
"The guy still hasn’t made up his mind?" Liu Banxia glanced towards the treatment room at lunchtime.
"It’s not an easy decision. I actually think it’s a good sign, the longer he considers, the more likely he’ll go for the surgery." Liu Yiqing said.
"Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. I promised to take him out for a meal, so I have to do it." Liu Banxia said.
"Are you sure that’s okay?" Liu Yiqing asked.
"Whether it’s okay or not, it has to be. It’s not a decision you can make quickly, it’s been almost two hours." Liu Banxia said.
Then, without caring about Liu Yiqing’s thoughts, he headed straight to the treatment room.
Liu Yiqing hesitated slightly, but followed along.
She was quite concerned about the patient and didn’t want him to give up so easily.
"Take a break. Have a meal first, then think it over. Our cafeteria’s food is quite good; not everyone gets the chance to try it." Once in the treatment room, Liu Banxia said.
The patient rubbed his face, "Why aren’t you persuading me anymore? I still haven’t decided. Do you think there’s no value in treating me?"
"Hmm..., it’s not..."
"Of course not,"
Liu Yiqing was cut off by Liu Banxia before she could finish.
"Our principle here is to prioritize the patient’s wishes. Everything is for the patient. Believe it or not, whether you undergo the surgery or not, we respect your choice."
"Actually, I have another reason for inviting you to eat. You’re giving me a hard time here, what kind of trouble might I be causing? I really went through a big incident some time ago."
The patient shook his head calmly, "I don’t know about that. Ya didn’t tell me anything. Anyway, just be careful, I’ll join you for the meal."
Liu Yiqing was stunned. So he agreed to eat? Are you going to have the surgery or not?
Liu Banxia subtly gave her a wink before leading them to the cafeteria.
The patient was curious; many people greeted Liu Banxia along the way. They called him by different names like Dr. Liu, Director Liu, and even just Banxia.
This showed that he indeed had a good rapport with others.
As for the patient, others weren’t that curious. They all knew Liu Banxia had many friends, and it was probably just another one of them.
When they got to the cafeteria, they found Xu Yino and others already there, and after grabbing food, they all sat together.
"Why so uptight? Although he can tell fortunes, he doesn’t do it lightly." Liu Banxia joked.
"Oh, Teacher Liu, why do you say everything? We’re just purely curious." Xu Yino quickly said.
Liu Yiqing wanted to tell him, what’s that compared to communicating with the patient in the treatment room? Those were minor issues, nothing to worry about.
"By the way, there’s something else I’d like to discuss with you two." After taking a couple of bites, Liu Banxia said.
"Qiaoqiao has decided to give birth at our emergency center. I’ll have Sister Huang perform the surgery, and you two will be first and second assistants."
"Oh my God, Teacher Liu, if you want to kill us, just say so." Xu Yino panicked.
"What’s the panic for? I’m not panicking." Liu Banxia shot her a look.
"Isn’t it the same? Although the teacher’s wife is your wife, she’s very good to us too. We’re closely related people and need to avoid conflicts." Xu Yino quickly said.
Liu Yiqing nodded vigorously, feeling the pressure was indeed enormous.
"With such little courage, how can you be a surgeon?" Liu Banxia said.
"Who else can I ask if not you two? I’d love to do it myself, but can I? I’m the one who should avoid it. Other people? Qiaoqiao isn’t familiar with them, and she wouldn’t choose them regardless of their skills."
"With Sister Huang as the lead surgeon, what are you afraid of? Just focus on closing the abdomen. It’s twins, so it’s slightly more challenging, but Sister Huang can handle it."
"Teacher Liu, isn’t a natural birth an option?" Liu Yiqing asked.
Liu Banxia decisively shook his head, "For one child, I might agree to a natural birth. But two children are really dangerous. It’s not just dangerous, but Qiaoqiao would also suffer."
"Let’s do this: let’s ask Qiaoqiao directly. If she says you don’t have to be on stage, we’ll find someone else. The fact that she’s not going to the three hospitals to give birth is already giving me face, so I must follow her arrangements."
After saying that, Liu Banxia took out his phone and sent a video.
Liu Yiqing felt resigned and then cast a worried glance at the patient dining with them.
She had been so tense that she had forgotten about it earlier. The issue between the patient and his girlfriend was caused initially because of a child, wasn’t it?
"Oh, you’re eating too? Look, I’m having pumpkin porridge, made from real pumpkin." Qiaoqiao’s voice came through.
"Our food isn’t bad either. At least I have three dishes and a soup and can even swipe around in their plates." Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Teacher Liu, can I leave temporarily? I feel like there’s going to be a storm of blood next," Li Hao asked tentatively.
Liu Banxia just gave him a smiling glance, and he didn’t dare to speak again.
"That was Li Hao speaking just now, right? You can’t always bully them," Qiaoqiao said.
"Oh, come on. It’s a new situation, the result of my careful consideration all morning," Liu Banxia said.
"I’ve made a decision about the childbirth thing; having twins naturally is too dangerous for you, so we’ll go for a C-section, no objections allowed."
"Really? Then why were you so fierce? I don’t even understand," Qiaoqiao murmured.
"Aren’t you the leader at home? I occasionally have to make a big decision," Liu Banxia said.
"It would be best if you agreed, but if you don’t, I’ll unite everyone in rebellion to make you agree."
"You think you’re so great, going to heaven or something? I’ll complain to mom later," Qiaoqiao said.
"Hehe, occasionally being a little cheeky makes life interesting," Liu Banxia said with a grin.
"Let’s have Sister Huang as the chief surgeon. I’ve seen her operate; she’s very steady. As for the assistants, do you have any thoughts?"
"Of course I do. I want Old Wang from next door as the anesthesiologist, and Xu Dan as the instrument nurse. For the first assist, either Liu Yiqing or Xu Yino is fine; let them draw lots," Qiaoqiao said.
"Did you guys hear that? I didn’t even need to say anything; Qiaoqiao decided directly," Liu Banxia said.
"No need to draw lots; just both go. I still have that much authority, so let’s happily decide it this way. Objections are invalid."
Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing looked helplessly at each other. Is there a way out? Really, there’s no way out.
"Is this how communication works between you two?" the patient spoke up.
Once he spoke, the whole dining table went quiet.
Liu Banxia, however, nodded calmly, "Every couple has their own way of getting along. My wife and I are just suited to this rhythm."
"Do you have something to do? Then go handle it first; I’m hanging up," Qiaoqiao said, then ended the video call.
"She never interferes with my work, and at home, she’s in charge. I guess we have a clear division of labor," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
The patient nodded and said nothing more, continuing to eat.
Liu Banxia looked at Li Hao again, "You all know a patient transferred from Dr. Wei? We need to do a TaTME, so you need to study harder."
"Anyway, the surgeries we’re doing are all setting new records for our hospital. Even the most basic and routine ones are a first."
"Dr. Wei’s team isn’t very interested in these kinds of surgeries, so you need to work harder, otherwise, such surgeries won’t be easy to promote in the future."
"No need to worry about taking someone else’s job in the future; it’s unnecessary. NOSES surgeries are very picky about patients. Most of them are overweight or diagnosed late with large tumors and can only do laparoscopy."
Everyone at the dining table nodded in unison.
Liu Banxia’s meaning was very clear; focus on cultivating this surgical system. This is a rare opportunity.
"Director Liu, I agree to the surgery," the patient suddenly said.
Ping! Task completed - patient not wanting brain tumor surgery
Gained 200 experience points, 3 Glory Points
This task is rated as perfect, gaining 500 experience points, 5 Glory Points + 3 points, and 1 solidification stone
Liu Banxia didn’t expect the patient to agree so easily, even more surprised that such a task could earn him a solidification stone.
"Do you think I’m a scumbag? Saying it’s all for Ya, but still choosing to live," the patient said.
Liu Banxia knew the patient misunderstood and shook his head with a smile, "Like I said, we respect the patient’s choices and don’t make judgments."
"As the saying goes, unless you’ve walked in someone else’s shoes, don’t advise them on their path. Everyone’s situation is different, and who can judge another?"
"To be frank, you have a disease of the heart, and it needs a treatment of the heart. This is an issue between you and Ya, not for others to comment on. It’s your decision."
The patient nodded, "Ya said her wish is to see me living well, so I’ll continue to endure here in this world."
Very calm tone, but the words were full of bitterness.
Only Liu Banxia and Liu Yiqing knew what was going on, but even Xu Yino and others could tell from his expression how tough this decision was for him.
"Alright, eat well, and then I’ll help you contact the doctor," Liu Banxia said.
"Yes, eat. You can’t have surgery if you’re not in good health," the patient nodded and then began to eat heartily.
Despite not being very expressive, he began to cry while eating.
Everyone has untouchable places in their heart, yet this time he touched it himself.
