Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Liu Banxia’s "Terrifying" Nature
(Thanks to Barbara and be gentle when encouraging me with monthly votes)
"I truly admire the big devil. Unless he has a spy beside each of us, how does he know so much?"
On the way to the cafeteria, Xu Yino remarked.
"You should try not to provoke him in the future. You’re always eager to fight, but end up getting trapped." Liu Yiqing said.
"Life should be spirited and fighting." Xu Yino said earnestly.
"Fight all you want, but you’ll be left with nothing but crumbs." Su Wenhao chimed in.
"Comrade Old Su, I’m giving you a serious warning." Xu Yino said.
"But I’m really at a loss, can you guys help me think of how to confront the big devil again? He’s already got us completely figured out."
"Doesn’t he have anything better to do all day? How does he have so much energy to figure everything out? Have I ever bragged? I’m always serious when dealing with patients."
"Then what should I do? When I interact with patients, I can never speak firmly." Liu Yiqing said with a bitter face.
"Take it slow, hasn’t Teacher Liu said that as long as we have a lot of patients and time passes, our experience will naturally grow." Li Hao said.
"What’s up? Did you get bullied by Banxia again?" Shi Lei, who was walking from behind, asked casually.
"Teacher Shi, has Teacher Liu always been this energetic? He knows everything." Xu Yino asked.
"You’ve confused me, what do you mean by knowing everything?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
"It’s about our patient management style. Teacher Liu just evaluated each of us. He explained the pros and cons of our management, and after discussing it, it’s oddly accurate." Xu Yino said.
Shi Lei chuckled, "That’s where we’re not as good as him. His grasp on details is very precise. And it’s not just evident in patient management, but also in daily work."
"Don’t think that when he chats with us in the lobby, shoulders relaxed, he’s just unwinding. Pay more attention, and you’ll realize his eyes are never idle, always watching you guys closely."
"Haven’t you also worked alongside him managing patients? His control over the situation when managing is something we can’t match. After seeing them, he seems to keep the scene in mind, and although he participates in the rescue, he can integrate all the information."
"He considers the details we overlook. So in such situations, his judgment is excellent; he can now accurately decide whether to perform surgery in the rescue room or move to the operating table."
"In this regard, I don’t know what the director’s level is like, but Wei Yuan and I are not up to it. It’s really challenging because if you make a wrong judgment, it could harm the patient by missing the best rescue time."
Everyone nodded deeply, finding this aspect of judgment incredibly difficult.
For example, a trauma patient with abdominal swelling looks like there’s severe internal bleeding. In such circumstances, is it better to open the abdomen on the spot to stop bleeding, or should we send them to the operating room? That’s the question.
Opening the abdomen on the spot could provide the patient with greater survival chances, but it has many downsides. There’s a bigger risk of complications, and it tests the skill of the practitioner.
Sending them to the operating room naturally seems the best choice, but some patients can’t wait for that.
At this point, a prediction is needed, estimating the patient’s approximate bleeding volume and whether they can hold on until the surgery.
"Actually, Banxia was quite impulsive before," Shi Lei continued.
"You’ve grown a lot over this year. But him? He’s grown even more. He’s not only become more composed, but his medical skills have also greatly improved."
"I used to worry he’d lead you astray, accustomed to his showy style. If you learn those traits, it could be dangerous."
"Yet he’s changed many bad habits now, although sometimes he’s still a bit mischievous. Being a father soon, I guess he won’t change much."
"Hehe, Teacher Shi, tell us more. How did you perceive Teacher Liu before?" Xu Yino asked with a smile.
"Before? I couldn’t even stand half an eye on him. Always joking around, never serious." Shi Lei said honestly.
"But after spending more time together, I gradually understood. He went through tough times too; not everyone can afford to lose a job without a big financial cushion. For him, losing a job came with a sense of loss."
"Us medical students are quite sheltered. For instance, you all have been in a learning state, not having experienced real social contact."
"The most you have been exposed to are school and hospitals. In the hospital, you’re experiencing real work for the first time after leaving behind the intern role."
"Let’s see, with him protecting you, you can avoid many detours. Other interns or training doctors might not get as much attention from their guiding doctors. Many opportunities require self-effort."
"The hospital is a bit closed off, and somewhat ruthless. Although it seems like there are plenty of resources, there aren’t really that many. There are many people in need, so once it’s distributed, there’s not much left."
"As for the way you handle admissions, you should stick to your own habits and style. Just like Liu Banxia now, who greets every patient with a smile."
"It’s his habit and method, which others may not be able to emulate. If it were someone else, patients might find it frivolous, but not with him; he can chat a bit and the patients just accept it."
"Because when he sees patients, he conveys a belief to them, that once they’re at the hospital, the rest is left to the doctors. Even if there are some issues, the doctors can help solve them."
"In this regard, even the director doesn’t impose any constraints on him. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Think about why the director wants to promote him to the deputy director position."
"Speak your mind, say what you really think, there’s no right or wrong in this casual conversation."
"Teacher Shi, is it because Teacher Liu currently possesses strong surgical skills?" Xu Yino said.
"Hmm..., I think it’s because Teacher Liu is really capable. He seems to do everything quite well." Liu Yiqing added.
"Do you also think that someone like me or Wei Yuan, old guys, can’t compare to Liu Banxia in his prime? So they chose Banxia instead of one of us, or even Doctor Xu later on?" Shi Lei said with a smile.
Everyone kept quiet, but they did have a bit of that thought.
Because Liu Banxia’s rise is too rapid, his brilliance has overshadowed others.
But who would dare say such a thing in front of Shi Lei, especially since Shi Lei once guided Liu Banxia.
By this time, they had finished picking their food and sat down together.
"Actually, there is indeed a factor that led the director to choose Banxia as the deputy director," Shi Lei said with a smile.
"The leaders of the hospital, especially of the emergency center, need to have medical skills to survive, or else they can’t gain respect."
"But there’s something you might not have thought of. It’s the control ability Banxia shows when handling emergency patients. Even when he was the chief resident, he was doing the work of a director."
"The emergency center has faced some urgent incidents, including potential outbreaks of infectious diseases, and Banxia handled them very well. This requires not only a reserve of knowledge but also quick response and decision-making skills."
"This is what it takes to be a leader; otherwise, hesitating in the face of difficulty will definitely affect the handling of things."
"For our emergency center, both the Chief Director and the director have high hopes, and Banxia fully qualifies to take on this deputy director role."
"To put it simply, in the medical profession, you can’t succeed without solid medical skills. Keep working hard because you have caught Banxia’s attention, otherwise, why would he bother with you?"
"Work hard for these few years, learn all that he knows. You might not have as much energy or learn as quickly as he does, but you are still young."
"Teacher Shi, tell us more." Liu Yiqing said with delight.
"What? Like listening to stories?" Shi Lei said with a smile.
Liu Yiqing nodded very honestly, "We always feel a bit unfamiliar with what Teacher Liu used to be like. Our first impression is just watching him do a small incision appendectomy."
"He was actually quite a troublemaker in the past." A trace of helplessness appeared on Shi Lei’s face.
"His first outrageous act was stopping bleeding with his bare hands. A patient had a ruptured splenic artery, and he held it in the emergency room. After being sent to the operating room, he was skipping along the corridor."
"Huh? I also heard there was a time Teacher Liu got so happy for some reason and spun in circles while hugging Teacher Shi." Liu Yiqing straightforwardly shared what she "heard."
The others all focused their attention on Shi Lei, as it was what they were curious about.
"Eat, why are you trying to pry so much?" Shi Lei glared at them.
"Let Banxia deal with you, so you don’t have so much energy to worry about irrelevant things. He was always like this, satisfied now?"
After saying this, Shi Lei laughed, reminiscing the past with some exasperation.
These stories are nearly turning into black marks that get brought up from time to time.
"But seriously, imagine for yourselves, compared to his past, how much he has actually grown." Shi Lei said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, what was intimidating about Liu Banxia was not his medical skills, but the speed at which he grew.
