Performing surgery is a beautiful thing. For Miao Rui and Huang Bo, today's operation held extraordinary significance, and they were completely imrsed in the joy of the surgery.
At this mont, Liu Banxia's mobile phone rang. The circulating nurse glanced at Liu Banxia.
"See who's calling," Liu Banxia said.
"Dr. Liu, it's Old Shen," the circulating nurse said after taking a glance.
Liu Banxia frowned slightly. "Answer it for . Tell him I'm in surgery and I'll call him back at noon. The passcode is 2846," Liu Banxia said.
Old Shen is Shen Xinhao, Liu Banxia thought. It seems there's been a new developnt in the case.
"Hello, Dr. Liu is currently in surgery. He will call you back at noon," the circulating nurse said after answering the call.
"Alright, then I will wait for Dr. Liu to finish the surgery," Shen Xinhao said.
The circulating nurse put down the phone and gave an OK gesture.
"You two can speed up a bit. Although we can afford to be slightly slower, we can't take too long, or Old Wang won't team up with us next ti," Liu Banxia said.
"Teacher Liu, perhaps you should take over the next part? I'm struggling a bit," Huang Bo said.
"Have you given it your all?" Liu Banxia asked.
Huang Bo quickly nodded. "I know what to do in my head, but my hands aren't cooperating. The next step is crucial, and I'm afraid I'll make a mistake during the dissection."
"Alright then, you two watch carefully," Liu Banxia said.
"The key is steadiness, and then proficiency. After this, you two need to work harder on the psychological aspects and your anatomical knowledge."
"Let's talk about Liu Yiqing and Xu Yino, those two lasses. Although they can be disrespectful at tis, they are very ticulous when it cos to dissection. This might also have sothing to do with them being girls."
"This is their strength, but their weakness is also very apparent. When faced with unconventional situations, they tend to hesitate, their decision-making ability being sowhat lacking."
"You boys, on the other hand, are the opposite. Your technique can be a bit crude, but you have strong decisiveness and initiative. Among the six of you, Su Wenhao is quite balanced in these two aspects, and his composure is the steadiest."
"As for the best seventh person in our Ergency Center, Liang Xiaolin, I won't even comnt. Her growth rate is so fast it's almost frightening to watch."
"So, in your future training, both of you must learn to steady your minds. A steady mind isn't achieved just by keeping a straight face."
"Those two girls are always giggling, yet their minds are much steadier than yours, and their surgical technique is more ticulous. You need to be bold, ticulous, and have steady hands. That way, when you operate, you not only save ti but also reduce the number of incisions."
"Don't rush. You're still young, after all. It's mainly because your anatomical practice isn't proficient enough. Get more surgical experience, see more abdominal organs, and these things won't be an issue."
"Alright, the lesser ontum dissection is complete, and the necessary clearing is done. Huang Bo will handle the mobilization of the splenic hilum and ligation of the short gastric arteries. I'll handle the rest: transection of the proximal stomach, reconstruction of the digestive tract, and division of the invaded sentery. You two will take turns as first assistant."
Miao Rui quickly switched positions.
No one suspected Liu Banxia took over the remaining tasks to save ti because of the phone call. In fact, for Miao Rui and Huang Bo at this point, the pressure was indeed considerable.
The subsequent steps were crucial to this surgery and rather complex. With Liu Banxia's guidance, they could certainly manage, but it might compromise the patient's prognosis.
"Can you see it?" Xu Yino said. "It's like Dr. Liu is always aware of everyone's condition on the operating table, controlling the overall situation."
"It's often very stressful assisting Dr. Liu in surgery. Just when we feel like we're at our breaking point, he'll arrange for a switch."
"But at the beginning of the surgery, he almost always forces us to do it. Even for procedures we've never done, after he quickly outlines the steps, he'll have us perform them."
"Anyway, operating with Teacher Liu is incredibly tiring. The physical exhaustion is one thing; it's the ntal drain that's truly challenging. None of us would dare attempt three consecutive surgeries with Teacher Liu; two procedures of this complexity are our current limit."
"Goodness, if every day is like this, the pressure must be imnse, right?" an intern from the inpatient departnt asked in astonishnt.
"And that's just on the operating table," Xu Yino said with a wry smile. "There are also the regular patient admissions."
"The cases these days are so complex, and many patients who co to the Ergency Center are acute, often with inaccurately described past dical histories."
"If you miss sothing or make an error during admission, just you wait. You'll get an earful, at the very least. It's agonizing. Tornting people is Liu the Devil's daily source of joy."
"Xu Yino, are you secretly bad-mouthing again?" Liu Banxia's voice ca through at this mont. "Don't try to deny it; I can already see that smug look on your face."
Xu Yino quickly put on a smile. "Teacher Liu, how could I? I was just wondering if I could scrounge a good al off you all tonight."
Liu Banxia sneered twice.
"Oh, by the way, your wife sent pictures of the puppies this morning," Xu Yino said. "I'll show them to you after the surgery. She also told to tell you not to work so hard."
"That's more like it," Liu Banxia said. "But keep focused up there. Don't get carried away just because I praised you a little."
"After all, we primarily deal with ergency surgeries, and so procedures just need to be fast. Saving lives is the top priority, even if the technique is a bit crude."
"And don't forget the task I assigned you two: buy intestines for suturing practice. You can share them with Miao Rui and Huang Bo. Take turns buying and take turns suturing. You all need to step up your practice so your skills don't get rusty."
"And you two, don't get any ideas from scolding her. If your technique is crude, it will affect the patient's prognosis. So, you also need to intensify your training in this area. The ti I'm giving you is until you officially sign your contracts."
"Then I'll conduct a small assessnt. Anyone who doesn't et the standard... HA HA HA... well, that will be entertaining. I'm certainly looking forward to it."
Hearing Liu Banxia's words, the expressions on all three of their faces turned thoroughly bitter.
Liu the Devil truly loves to tornt people, especially when it cos to 'tornting them'—he spares no effort.
It does significantly help their basic skills, but he's also incredibly strict. He won't set quantitative targets, but he will identify the poorest perforr when the ti cos.
The people in the observation room gained a deeper understanding of Liu Banxia. He was indeed quite a character. While their skills would undoubtedly improve significantly under him, they'd also be put through the wringer.
Another takeaway was Liu Banxia's teaching style—utterly inimitable.
Just as Xu Yino had ntioned, he seed to have an incredible ability to control the situation, keeping track of everyone's condition.
You're in the middle of surgery; how can you possibly divide your attention to manage so many things?
Now that Liu Banxia had taken over, watching him operate was a genuinely aesthetic experience.
Considering everything, the opinions on Liu Banxia were "mixed."
Technically, he was indeed far ahead. However, the demands he placed on interns during training were exceptionally high, a level others couldn't replicate. This didn't an his training thod was unfeasible, though. If the difficulty were reduced, it could still be effective.
"Alright, I've done all I can. Send the specin for pathology," Liu Banxia said after finishing his part. "Next is placing the drain, another check for any other issues, and then abdominal closure."
Miao Rui and Huang Bo had done these tasks many tis, so they were quite proficient. This was routine for them.
DING! Surgical Task Completed.
Reward: 300 Experience Points, Suturing Skill Proficiency 300, Dressing Change Skill Proficiency 200, Gastric Surgery Skill Proficiency 400, Intestinal Surgery Skill Proficiency 300, Glory Points 4.
No task rating reward was given. This was largely because Huang Bo and Miao Rui had perford a significant portion of the operation, and their technique was considerably inferior to Liu Banxia's.
However, this didn't an the surgery wasn't successful; the system's evaluation in this regard was very strict.
Besides, I'm feeling quite confident now, Liu Banxia thought. Major surgeries are definitely more satisfying; the experience points and skill points just shoot up. I'm really looking forward to seeing what changes level sixty will bring.
"The rest is up to you," Liu Banxia said. "I'm going to step out to make a call and will be back to help clean the OR."
"Alright," Huang Bo replied.
Taking his phone outside, Liu Banxia dialed Shen Xinhao's number.
"Dr. Liu, have you finished the surgery?" Shen Xinhao asked.
"Just finished. What's the situation?" Liu Banxia replied.
"We've contacted the two children. We'll still need you to co by later to help calm them down," Shen Xinhao said.
"Can we arrange it for tonight?" Liu Banxia asked. "I have another surgery this afternoon, so I'll have more free ti in the evening."
"No problem, we'll pick the place this ti," Shen Xinhao quickly replied. "How about 7 PM? I'm worried that any later might be hard on the children."
"That works. You guys arrange the place," Liu Banxia said. "Going to Jinbao at that hour is a bit problematic; I might run into acquaintances."
"Alright, thanks for your trouble. I'll send you the location in a mont," Shen Xinhao said before hanging up.
Liu Banxia felt a twinge of helplessness, but there was nothing for it. Even if it ant being pushed into sothing he wasn't fully prepared for, he had to go through with it now. He was already involved; there was no backing out.
