"Alright, to ensure today’s admissions go smoothly, the first shift people take a break, and the second shift follow me to eat. Make the most of your time to rest." Liu Banxia shouted early the next morning.

"Also, thanks to the brothers and sisters from the inpatient department who came to help. For breakfast, feel free to indulge, we have enough tea eggs for everyone."

"Banxia, you didn’t stay up all night, did you?" Zhang Yun asked, rubbing her eyes.

"I’m kind of used to it. I’ll catch a nap later. Anyway, the toughest times are over." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"How’s the situation? What about the two critical patients admitted later yesterday?" Zhang Yun asked.

"They’re okay for now, but they still need two more days of treatment." Liu Banxia replied.

"Yesterday, we admitted a total of thirty-eight patients, thirty-six mild to moderate cases, two severe, plus the three we initially admitted, that’s forty-one altogether."

"The total number of samples taken was six hundred and eighty-nine people. That’s not a small number, it exhausted the lab. Although it was tough, at least these worried patients can have a good sleep after going home."

"Sigh... it was really not easy. We’re off to the cafeteria to eat. There’s still plenty to do during the day." Zhang Yun said.

"Feel free to eat. I’ve already talked to Manager Zhou. No other forms of gratitude are as real, and today’s breakfast is guaranteed." Liu Banxia said.

Everyone was in a pretty good mood. The breakfast wasn’t anything fancy, but it carried a lot of meaning.

We’re all part of the second hospital family, so coming over to help when it’s busy here is the right thing to do. This breakfast represents the emergency center’s gratitude.

When they got to the cafeteria, Zhou Qiang had already prepared and even steamed flower rolls.

Usually, there are just regular steamed buns, and making flower rolls takes a lot of time.

Liu Banxia was genuinely hungry and couldn’t worry about others. Millet porridge, tea eggs, flower rolls, and some pickles almost filled his tray.

"Watching you eat every time is quite a shock." Zhang Yun looked at her tray with an expression of helplessness.

"If I don’t eat my fill, I can’t sleep well." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I also wanted to ask you, how has the general surgery training been going recently in our inpatient department? The director always asks me, but I’ve been too busy and forgot."

"We’ve been pushing hard, really hard, but there’s still a noticeable gap compared to your side." Zhang Yun replied.

"The difference is clear from this debridement assessment. We didn’t focus enough in the past. It might be because we don’t have as many emergency patients, but that’s no excuse."

"Anyway, Director Qiu seems a bit anxious. After all, he always played second fiddle to Chief Director Zhou. With your team doing so well, it’s somewhat distressing."

"Really? Isn’t it just debridement?" Liu Banxia asked in surprise.

"That’s why, back then, you shouldn’t have focused only on the emergency department but paid more attention to general surgery." Zhang Yun said mysteriously.

"Back when they were competing for the position, Director Zhou won by a narrow margin. Over the years, Director Qiu has been working under Chief Director Zhou, always wanting to prove himself."

"This time, he had a chance, but was beaten by the newcomers in the emergency center. The key is, if Chief Director Zhou had managed it himself, it wouldn’t be a problem. But it was you overseeing the training."

"However, Director Qiu doesn’t have other intentions, just wants to prove himself, but didn’t succeed. Plus, you have the fame of the six little ones, overshadowing your peers, which is a more direct comparison."

"Sigh... I forgot to consider this, I just wanted to see the real level of these interns and resident doctors." Liu Banxia sighed.

"Sister Zhang, do you think I should talk to Director Qiu? I haven’t interacted much with him before, so I don’t really know his personality."

"Talking would be good. Director Qiu is actually quite nice." Zhang Yun replied.

"But who doesn’t have a bit of a temper? Chief Director Zhou is the top in general surgery, followed then by others. Probably in a few years, besides Chief Director Zhou, it’ll just be you left."

"Alright, let’s do that. After breakfast, I’ll go with you. I don’t want my presence to create any rift." Liu Banxia said.

Zhang Yun glanced at him, "I must say, you didn’t spend those years as deputy director in vain, you’ve started considering others. The old you wouldn’t care what others thought, just did what you wanted."

"Sister Zhang, please stop teasing me. Back then, I truly was young and heedless, unaware of my limitations." Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.

"Honestly, without meeting Shi Lei and Director Zhou, where would I be now? If things had gone well, I’d be suturing something at a cosmetic hospital. If not, who knows where I’d end up."

What he said was true, even with the support of the system, he needed a platform to showcase his abilities.

When you go to another hospital and say "I’m great, I’m really awesome", who will pay attention to you?

Even the achievements he’s made now, aren’t they all achieved with the support and trust of Zhou Shuwen?

Without a good mentor like Zhou Shuwen, would anyone dare to let him independently perform a half-liver resection surgery?

People at this level are busy every day; they may not have much time to watch how the people under them operate, at most just get them to participate gradually when they go on stage together.

The system is very powerful, giving him strong support. Zhou Shuwen trusts him a lot, offering him more opportunities to show his abilities; that’s how Liu Banxia, Director Liu, came to be.

Don’t be fooled by the amount of food Liu Banxia has served up; he’s exceptional when it comes to eating speed. While talking to Zhang Yun, he’s never idle, only three tea eggs behind Zhang Yun.

It’s okay though; peel them quickly, eat them one at a time, and finish the whole thing in less than three minutes.

"Su Wenhao, when you go back, let President Qi know that I’ll make a trip to the inpatient department," Liu Banxia said.

"Got it, Teacher Liu," replied Su Wenhao.

"The young man seems very composed, has a bit of Shi Lei’s temperament," said Zhang Yun.

"Haha, you noticed too? The only composed one among the six. The rest got sidetracked by me and are now working hard to correct it," Liu Banxia said cheerfully.

Zhang Yun laughed too, thinking about Liu Banxia’s personality; it’s really not easy to deal with.

Following Zhang Yun, Liu Banxia arrived at the inpatient department early, before Director Qiu hadn’t started work yet.

This is also to show sincerity; normally, they should have communicated properly earlier, but he just neglected it.

"Yo, why have you come to our side? Was yesterday’s reception smooth?"

Seeing Liu Banxia in the office, Director Qiu walked in and asked with a smile.

"Very smooth, so I’m here especially to thank Director Qiu. If it weren’t for the elite troops allocated by Director Qiu, we would have failed yesterday," Liu Banxia quickly said.

"You still have to say that our people are reliable, directly taking over for reception. So many patients, even just calming emotions takes time."

Director Qiu nodded, "It’s great that it went smoothly; yesterday’s situation was too serious. Organophosphate poisoning is slightly better than paraquat, giving people a chance to regret, but it still affects central and peripheral nerve aging."

"Exactly, when we found out it was organophosphate poisoning, we were a bit at a loss," Liu Banxia said.

"Last night, Sister Zhang and others were busy for most of the night; they really did great. Anyway, I’ve decided, next time we’re too busy, we’ll come here for help, others won’t be trustworthy."

"Haha, you’re exaggerating," Director Qiu said with a smile.

"Kid, I really didn’t pay much attention when you were training in the department. Recently, I’ve been paying more attention; are you here for the third child? What’s up?"

"Nothing much, mainly to express gratitude for last night’s help," Liu Banxia said.

"Secondly, I want to ask if our general surgery department is interested in researching small incision appendectomy and NOSES surgical methods. If so, I’ll send over the surgical schedule, and we can appropriately arrange observation in the operating room if interested."

Director Qiu frowned, "Can you manage that? Don’t you have those six still learning hard?"

"I can manage it; the number of patients is steadily increasing. I estimate that after Spring Festival, there should be no less than ten patients a month," Liu Banxia thought for a moment and said.

"It’s just the distance, we’d have to run to our side. Alternatively, if there are patients meeting TaTME criteria, we can borrow TEM equipment from the anorectal department and operate in our surgical room."

"Currently, NOSES surgery is in the promotion stage; the difficulty in promoting this technique is that there aren’t many related materials. And there are different surgical requirements for dealing with conditions, watching more surgeries is beneficial."

"Okay, this suggestion is very good; anyway, we’re also helping to promote NOSES surgery now, and we will give priority recommendations if we have suitable patients," Director Qiu said.

"But this means you’ll be busy, having to work two sides. The child has just been born and hasn’t started fussing yet; you have got some coming."

"Director Qiu, you have no idea; our second baby is already quite fussy," Liu Banxia said with a wry smile.

"No matter what they want to do, they must cry for a while first. Hungry cry, poop cry, even cry for fun when idle. It’s better now, likes our dog, can look at it for a while."

Director Qiu laughed, "I guess your second baby’s temperament takes after you, really fussy."

"Haha, indeed, daughter takes after her dad," Liu Banxia replied with a laugh.

That cleared up all the issues, no need to speak so bluntly or explicitly. Communication with Director Qiu went smoothly, no problem; just resolved this little misunderstanding.
