For Liu Banxia now, it’s truly a time of success and fulfillment.
His two big babies are his source of joy. Just seeing the two little ones, even if they barely glance at him, makes him happy for a long time.
Not to mention the NOSES surgical system he has developed is also beginning to succeed, and recently more patients have been coming to him for surgery. It’s truly a win-win situation for both family and career.
The last three NOSES surgeries contributed a lot of rewards for him. As a surgeon, the rewards from surgical operations are more tangible.
Helping patients diagnose internal medical illnesses and saving people in danger does bring a sense of accomplishment. But that feeling is never as satisfying as performing surgery.
He arrived at the emergency center and changed into work clothes. Before going to work, he first brought up his attribute panel to admire it.
Liu Banxia: Level 63, 233015/240680
Title: Respected Surgeon
Spirit: 80 points (Comprehension, Memory, Focus increased by 42.86%)
Agility: 80 points (Stability, Speed, Touch increased by 48.15%)
Strength: 78 points (Strength, Instrument Mastery, Instrument Effect increased by 81.40%)
Endurance: 60 points (Tolerance, Stamina increased by 53.85%)
Attribute Points: 5 points
Solidification Stones: 22 pieces
Glory Points: 1305 points
Dressing Technique: Level 4, 96613/99999
Suturing Technique: Level 4, 99816/99999
Diagnostics: Level 5
Looking at the solidification stones, Liu Banxia really coveted them. But looking at the Glory Points again, his heart felt a chill.
The current hope is pinned on the dressing and suturing techniques. He doesn’t know how many Glory Points these will bring once they reach level 5.
If one surgery could yield dozens or even hundreds of Glory Points, he would be very pleased. Even if a single solidification costs 200 Glory Points, it’s worth it to solidify.
After fantasizing gleefully for a while, he had to continue working.
He currently has four surgery patients lined up, and on the surgery day the day after tomorrow, he plans to complete them all. Reaching level 5 in suturing skill is absolutely no problem.
Qiaoqiao went home with the kids, and he, as per his usual habit, strolled to the VIP floor to Yuanyuan’s ward.
The current little one is entirely different from when she was admitted, all pitiful and sad. Although she still blinks, twitches her mouth, and shows signs of OCD, her mental outlook has greatly improved.
"Uncle, uncle, eat a banana."
Seeing Liu Banxia come in, the little one peeled a banana and ran to him.
"Uncle needs Yuanyuan to help peel it," Liu Banxia said.
The little one was happy, not only peeling it herself but also wanting to feed Liu Banxia. Wulei watched, feeling a bit envious, as his daughter had never fed him like this.
The key is that every morning, giving Liu Banxia something to eat has become a daily routine for their beloved daughter.
"Alright, off you go to play happily. After staying in the hospital for two more days, Yuanyuan can go home and have fun," Liu Banxia said.
"Uncle, will Yuanyuan still be able to see you?" Yuanyuan asked.
"Of course you can. Anytime Yuanyuan wants to see uncle, you can video call me," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
Yuanyuan’s spirits dropped slightly; despite her young age, she realized they were about to part.
"Yuanyuan, read a storybook with mommy. Let uncle and daddy have a chat," Wulei’s wife chimed in.
The little one ran over, her face brightened again.
"Wasn’t I right? You guys having a harmonious relationship is better for Yuanyuan than any medication," Liu Banxia said.
Wulei nodded, "If this hadn’t happened to us, I wouldn’t have believed it. Yuanyuan seems to blink less frequently now, and when she’s busy, she forgets about blinking altogether."
Liu Banxia chuckled, "That’s about right. It’s also because Yuanyuan is young and hasn’t been sick for long, so she’s easily adjusted."
"Now the little one is just left with happiness; you play with her. When she’s tired of playing, let her sleep. She simply won’t have time for anything else."
"OCD is just a minor psychological issue in its early stages. It does have some relation to her nerves, but it can be adjusted."
"If it progresses to later stages, it becomes dangerous with depression, hypermania, and schizophrenia possibly appearing together."
"Dr. Liu, I discussed it with my wife yesterday. We are thinking about selling the house and moving to change the environment and start anew," Wulei suddenly said.
"What? Are you thinking of moving to Binhai City? You should consider it well, as your business is back at home," Liu Banxia said.
"For Yuanyuan’s sake," Wulei said.
"Although you said Yuanyuan’s illness can slowly be cured, to familiar people back home, they will always remember this incident, and when they look at Yuanyuan, it’s with a scrutinizing and watchful eye."
"I’m thinking of living in a hotel for starters, then choosing a house, and once Yuanyuan is better adjusted, moving to the park area for a normal life."
"Your consideration is reasonable for the child. Sometimes you have to give up certain things," Liu Banxia said with a smile.
"Learn from Old Bao, I might just have to work a bit harder, but I won’t let my wife and child suffer," Wulei said.
"Actually, let’s not even talk about those unrelated people, even some of my own family members can be quite troublesome. Moving to a new environment could be a fresh start for our family."
"As long as you both agree, it’s fine. It’s not that far anyway. If you can manage the company’s operations well or simply hire a manager, I think that works," Liu Banxia said.
Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
"Xu Yino, what’s up?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Teacher Liu, please come down quickly. A patient we just admitted has an abdominal injury from a steel pipe penetration, which has already damaged internal organs," Xu Yino said anxiously.
"On my way."
After speaking, Liu Banxia hung up the phone.
Without even having time to say goodbye to Wulei, he rushed downstairs.
Such a patient is really dangerous; whether they can be rescued depends greatly on the location of the injury.
"What’s the situation?" Liu Banxia asked upon reaching the emergency room.
"Blood pressure is 90/70, heart rate is 110, no medical history, no medication. Administering blood, fluids, intubation for oxygen, X-ray done, family contacted," Xu Yino hurriedly said.
"Let’s get him on the operating table, I’ve alerted the lab for urgent processing," Wei Yuan said.
Liu Banxia carefully examined the patient’s condition.
A galvanized pipe had penetrated the abdomen diagonally from the right lower abdomen and protruded with a sharp end from the left side of the back. Hanging from the sharp end were fragments of internal organs, which seemed like the spleen.
"Let’s get him on the table, have you informed the operating room?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Operating Room 3," Xu Yino replied.
"Prepare enough blood. Judging from the intermittent projections, the spleen and intestines are damaged. We currently don’t know the condition of the other organs, hopefully the damage is minimal; otherwise, it’ll be very tough to save him," Liu Banxia said.
This injury is no joke; although it seems like the bleeding is only seeping from the wound due to the occupancy of the galvanized pipe, once the pipe is removed, the hemorrhaging will suddenly increase.
"How did this happen? I noticed there are police here," Liu Banxia asked.
"You wouldn’t believe it. It was all because of cutting the line when buying breakfast, which led to an argument," Xu Yino said.
"Fortunate that we’re not far away, the ambulance picked him up and brought him straight here. All for a plate of Chinese crepes, I don’t even know what to say."
"Was he the one who cut the line or was he the victim?" Liu Banxia asked.
"He cut the line, and he was the one who started the fight," Xu Yino replied.
Liu Banxia was also deeply moved, no wonder Xu Yino spoke that way; starting a fight over cutting in line for some Chinese crepes surely wasn’t worth it.
Especially when he was the one who started the action, it’s really hard to sympathize.
"Once we remove the pipe, let’s quickly open the abdomen to stop the bleeding, regardless of the situation; we need to stop the bleeding first," Liu Banxia said.
"That’s why I called you; your hands are faster, which might give us a chance," Wei Yuan said.
"There’s also a lot of fluid in the abdominal cavity, it’s currently being blocked by the pipe. Fortunately, it’s a penetration injury; had it only gone halfway in, he might not have made it to us."
Scrub up for surgery; the anesthetist waiting in the operating room was Li Liwei.
"You guys better hurry up, the blood pressure just dropped significantly, barely managed to stabilize it," Li Liwei said.
"Leave no stone unturned, if even rapid blood transfusion doesn’t hold, our speedy hands might as well be useless," Liu Banxia said.
The atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became tense as Liu Banxia and the team stood by the operating table.
"Alright, Xu Yino, remove the pipe," Liu Banxia said.
Xu Yino nodded, grabbed the galvanized pipe, and slowly pulled it out.
As she removed the galvanized pipe, blood, clots, stomach contents, and intestinal contents sprayed out of the wound.
"Squeeze the blood bag, quickly open the abdomen, prepare the hemostatic clamp," Liu Banxia instructed, ignoring the frenzied calls from the monitor and positioning the patient’s body flat before proceeding.
As the abdominal wall was cut open, the first thing revealed to Liu Banxia was a segment of the intestine that had already been torn open. Without a second thought, Wei Yuan directly clamped the two ends of the tear.
"Suction and spleen removal," Liu Banxia said.
"The liver also has a tear," Xu Yino said from the side.
"Ugh, when the pipe went in, it probably moved upward first, changed direction during the struggle," Liu Banxia said.
"Banxia, the blood pressure is failing fast," Li Liwei’s voice was filled with urgency.
"The injury is too severe, impossible to pack and stop the bleeding. I..."
"Beep..."
Just when Liu Banxia spoke halfway, the patient went into ventricular fibrillation.
"Count down, perform CPR, charge 200 Joules, 1 unit of adrenaline. Wait for my command to defibrillate after charging,"
Liu Banxia continued operating, at this moment he had already removed the spleen.
Everyone in the operating room looked at him in shock; this decision seemed crazy.
