"Why didn’t you join the inspection?" Shi Lei asked in confusion when he saw Liu Banxia return to the ergency departnt.
"I put Liang Xiaolin in there, so I felt it would be imposing to join as well," Liu Banxia replied with a smile.
"Boss, on our way back, I gave it more thought. If this patient didn’t have a diagnostic history from other hospitals, would the symptoms we encountered after admission be enough to warrant these follow-up diagnostic tests?"
Shi Lei glanced at him and nodded. "We would definitely conduct an examination, though it would likely be basic checks. You’re not feeling burdened by this again, are you?"
Liu Banxia shook his head. "No way, my nerves have always been pretty tough. Anyway, I’m not trying to make more money for the hospital. The main thing is to consider the patient; that’s enough for ."
"Actually, I was just feeling a bit emotional thinking about the patient who died yesterday. I still think it’s tough being a doctor, and it’s even harder to avoid making mistakes."
"Then don’t dwell on it; the examination has already begun. Use that ti to think about how to manage everything once we move. It’s going to be a large group, very lively," Shi Lei said earnestly.
Liu Banxia rolled his eyes. This was indeed a headache.
He usually had good relationships with many people, but it was impossible to avoid all friction at work. He could only take things as they ca; after all, it was the first ti in his life he’d held such a significant position.
In fact, he asked Shi Lei again because he still had a lingering doubt—one he’d had before, which had resurfaced today.
He was now wondering whether his diagnostic skill proficiency was actually boosting the diagnoses he gave patients.
This current patient ca with a system mission, but he wouldn’t subject the patient to unnecessary tests just for the sake of the mission. He was genuinely concerned about the patient’s current presentation and felt such an examination was necessary.
But whether this idea and confidence stemd from his own dical knowledge or from his soon-to-be Level 4 diagnostic skill proficiency, he really couldn’t figure it out.
According to his usual personality, he would probably prefer to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, the patient had already been diagnosed by several hospitals, including so with renowned neurology departnts.
The most appropriate approach would have been to write up an explanation of the situation, have the patient’s family sign it, and that would be the end of it.
But now, he found himself becoming overly persistent with this patient. Or rather, he was very persistent about the illness; he felt he had to understand it completely, no matter what.
After a busy morning, it was finally lunchti. Liu Banxia eagerly anticipated today’s al.
He had truly pulled an all-nighter yesterday and hadn’t slept soundly for that short while in the morning before being woken up. This whole morning had been quite nerve-wracking.
To ensure he had enough energy to get through the afternoon, he not only piled his plate high but also ordered an extra chicken leg.
Liu Banxia was definitely the pride of the cafeteria. He always finished every bit of food on his plate—a true "clean plate" champion. Outsiders seeing him would imdiately think the cafeteria’s food must be good; otherwise, how could soone eat so much and with such gusto?
As Liu Banxia was enjoying his al, Qiaoqiao ca over.
"Have you eaten yet? Go on, eat up. I’ll get you so," Liu Banxia greeted her warmly.
"Just get a little of anything; I can’t eat much anyway," Qiaoqiao replied casually.
She was a genuine heroine in this, so after getting her food, Liu Banxia also rewarded her with a chicken leg.
"What were you two whispering about?" Liu Banxia asked curiously, seeing Qiaoqiao muttering with Qing Kewa.
"I saw soone hanging a banner outside and was asking about it. You didn’t really kill soone, did you?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
"Nonsense! We save people here; we don’t kill them," Liu Banxia replied helplessly.
"The dical affairs departnt is really useless. Why don’t they call the police? This situation should be handled by reporting it to the police; it’s much better than having them be an eyesore there. People who don’t know the details will definitely think the hospital actually killed soone."
It looks like the dical affairs departnt still intends to just smooth things over. Old Qin’s network must be incredibly strong; even after leaving his post, he still has people protecting him.
"By the way, the cafeteria’s marinated dishes are really good. Can we poach their chef? Lang Tao Sha also offers a buffet, but it’s a bit lacking in the marinated dishes departnt," Qiaoqiao said after taking a few bites of her chicken leg.
"It doesn’t necessarily have to be the cafeteria’s master chef. I think Sister Li’s braised bones are also delicious. She adds Chinese dicinal herbs to them, but the dicinal taste is mostly gone after braising," Liu Banxia said casually.
"I’ll look into it when I have so free ti. The catering at Lang Tao Sha is currently a bit lacking. But our prices are low, so it’s not really feasible to hire a top chef to manage things there," Qiaoqiao stated.
"Okay. For the ti being, Sister Li is on the night shift," Liu Banxia said.
He truly believed that Zhou Li’s skill with sauced ats was excellent. Of course, this was partly related to the old broth she kept frozen in her fridge. It was the kind she had been using for many years, imbuing it with a natural braised at flavor.
If this works out, it could help Qiaoqiao and also earn Zhou Li so extra money. A professional chef’s recipe would surely be incredibly expensive. Zhou Li’s, considering she might offer it at a reasonable price or as a favor, would be almost as good.
As he was eating, Liu Banxia’s mobile phone sounded with a notification. He didn’t pay much attention at first, but after seeing the ssage, he couldn’t help but pump his fist.
*DING! Mission: Patient with Idiopathic Epilepsy - Completed*
*Reward: 300 Experience Points, 500 Diagnostic Skill Proficiency Points, 5 Glory Points.*
*Mission Rating: Perfect*
*Bonus Reward: 500 Experience Points, 500 Diagnostic Skill Proficiency Points, 10 Glory Points.*
He had to admit, this reward was seriously generous. Not just the experience and diagnostic skill proficiency, but even the amount of Glory Points was substantial.
"President Liu, has it been confird?" Wang Chao asked curiously, his attention drawn by Liu Banxia’s action.
Liu Banxia nodded with a grin. "Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The arrhythmia led to supraventricular tachycardia, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain, which in turn induced the epilepsy."
"Once a defibrillator is implanted, the young man will be able to live a normal life. Even though it costs quite a lot, over a hundred thousand yuan in all, it guarantees his quality of life in the future. Mom will never have to worry about my epilepsy again, hahaha..."
As he spoke, he himself beca visibly cheerful.
To say he wasn’t concerned about this matter at all would be complete nonsense. He wasn’t a saint, able to remain unaffected by external things. He had been hoping his speculation, or rather his diagnosis, would be confird.
Now it was confird. The young man could lead a normal life in the future, and he himself had gained considerable recognition. How could he not be happy?
"Wow, President Liu, that’s amazing! So impressive!" Wang Chao exclaid after a mont of stunned silence, giving him a thumbs up.
It didn’t matter if Liu Banxia had guessed or deduced it; the fact was, he was right. This was true skill—skill that others lacked, skill that so many had failed to demonstrate.
His interns were also very excited. They had all seen today what kind of pressure Liu Banxia had been under when he recomnded this examination.
"Don’t get cocky, don’t get cocky. We just got lucky," Liu Banxia said with a grin.
"Nice work. You’ve beco more capable," Qiaoqiao complinted.
"Heh-heh, just so-so. By the way, what brings you here?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Nothing much. Didn’t I co to report back? Scoring a free al isn’t too much to ask, right?" Qiaoqiao asked.
"Not at all, definitely not. When we’re done with the busy spell here in a few days, we’ll go for so skewers," Liu Banxia said.
Upon hearing this, the others all turned their gazes expectantly towards Liu Banxia.
"I can take so of you, but probably not everyone. How could we all possibly get ti off together?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.
"Teacher Liu, it’s possible! We’ll have ti to go back to school for classes soon. Then we can join you for skewers in the evening," Xu Yino said.
"Alright, alright. Then we’ll wait until you all have ti, and we’ll go for skewers then," Liu Banxia said.
He had no choice. With all of them staring at him like that, how could he say no to taking them out?
Actually, he also wanted to visit Wang Mingxing. That kid was quite lucky; although the chemotherapy was tough, it had been very effective.
He was back in school now. As Wang Dashan said, the boy had grown up and didn’t need him to worry at all. When he got ho, if they didn’t urge him to stop, there was no telling how late he would study.
After a lively al, they didn’t dare linger in the cafeteria; they had to go back and relieve their colleagues. Shi Lei hadn’t eaten yet, and Qi Wentai was still sowhat out of it.
"You’re not bad, kid. The patient’s father just ca by personally to thank you," Shi Lei said with a laugh.
"Haha, Boss, just a tiny bit of luck," Liu Banxia said.
"You guys go eat quickly. We can hold the fort here. The cafeteria’s chicken legs are good today, and the fried oyster mushrooms are pretty good too, though you might have to wait a bit for them."
"Alright, then we’ll go eat. You can bask in your glory here," Shi Lei replied.
"Teacher Liu, we should really let those people outside with the banner know about this. They’re so infuriating," Liu Yiqing said after glancing out the entrance of the outpatient hall.
"Why get worked up over them? When you’ve been a doctor for a long ti, you realize this kind of thing is quite normal," Liu Banxia said nonchalantly.
"For now, you haven’t been assaulted or verbally abused by patients, and that itself is a success. Let assure you, as long as we are not at fault, we don’t have to put up with anyone’s nonsense, no matter who they are."
"However, if it truly is our mistake, then we listen to whatever they have to say. Treating patients is also a service industry; making a mistake ans our service wasn’t up to par."
"But no one should think they can bully us. In the future, you’ll encounter many patients and all sorts of situations. You must learn to protect yourselves."
"Thank you, Teacher Liu."
Everyone responded in unison, their spirits lifted.
The most common advice they usually received from others was not to argue with patients. Teacher Liu was different; he was very firm.
