The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 590: Look up high at

The current interns really didn’t dare to attempt it anymore. They fell far too short when compared to these three.

If it were only Liu Banxia, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, they had always been tormented by this ’demon king’; one more round wouldn’t hurt. But today was different. The status of these two was much higher than the demon king, which made them lose their nerve.

Watch and learn; this was a grand debridement competition. All three of them were highly skilled; none of them were incompetent.

For Liu Banxia, it had been a long time since he had experienced extreme speed.

His status was different now. He had only acted as the ’little prince of debridement’ during the New Year, and the interns usually undertook the simple debridement tasks.

And when he performed surgeries? He was in charge of teaching and needed to guide the interns. If he went too fast, the interns wouldn’t be able to keep up and couldn’t cooperate with him.

Today involved just simple debridement, and with the help of the two directors, he began to really let loose.

His speed was incredible. After going all out, he didn’t feel tired but instead felt an exhilarating rush.

After all, this debridement was different from cleaning up flesh-eating bacteria. This involved only burns, which were superficial. Even if some areas were a bit deep, it wouldn’t be as difficult to differentiate as with flesh-eating bacteria.

He cut and snipped with such speed, it was as if he were working with both hands simultaneously. The observing interns were stunned. Could they learn this? Probably not.

The task he had originally estimated would take over four hours was completely finished in less than an hour and a half, thanks to the three of them working together.

DING! Emergency task completed.

You have gained 500 experience points, 50 proficiency points in Diagnostic Skills, and 400 proficiency points in Dressing Skills.

This task was rated as perfect. You have gained 1,000 experience points, 50 proficiency points in Diagnostic Skills, 500 proficiency points in Dressing Skills, and 10 Glory Points.

Although the rewards lacked variety, they were generous. For Liu Banxia, this was enough.

"You’re really fast, kid," Zhou Shuwen said, sounding somewhat helpless.

"That’s why I said he would be best suited for our city hospital’s burn department. Early debridement is much better for the patients," Xie Chunli said with a smile.

"Directors, please, can you stop complimenting me like that?" Liu Banxia said with a cheerful laugh. "Actually, I was just worried about missing mealtime. Freshly cooked food is delicious! Hehe, this one’s on me."

"If you don’t treat us, who will?" Zhou Shuwen said. "Xu Yino, take the patient to the ward. Director Xie has already explained all the important points; just get him settled."

"Okay!" Xu Yino replied cheerfully.

She had just witnessed something remarkable, realizing that even simple debridement could be performed with such a high level of difficulty.

"Miao Rui, don’t just stand there. Go grab some seats in the cafeteria," Liu Banxia called out.

"Okay!" Miao Rui responded and immediately ran out.

"This is the first time I’ve seen such a harmonious atmosphere," Xie Chunli remarked. "If it were any other attending physician leading the interns, they probably wouldn’t even dare to breathe too loudly."

"Well, isn’t it because they encountered this unconventional fellow?" Zhou Shuwen said, looking at Liu Banxia helplessly. "During the New Year, he made those mustard dumplings and even pranked our Chief Director and Director Hu from Orthopedics."

"Director, that’s a real injustice!" Liu Banxia said with a wry smile. "I didn’t wrap a single dumpling, nor did I cook or serve them."

"Then why didn’t you end up eating any?" Zhou Shuwen pressed.

Liu Banxia was stumped. Yeah, why didn’t I eat any? Who could I even ask?

It was a mystery. It wasn’t solved then, and it probably wouldn’t be solved in the future.

Everyone else just laughed.

There weren’t many people who could get the better of Liu Banxia, but Zhou Shuwen was definitely at the top of that list. He was a leader and a mentor, and occasionally the only one who could rein him in.

"These kids have really solid fundamentals; they even have a touch of Banxia’s flair," Xie Chunli commented. "I just wonder if they’ll be able to surpass him in the future."

"Their reputation isn’t small now. Even some interns at our city hospital are talking about them. Achieving that is no small feat."

"Director Xie, is that true?" Liu Banxia asked curiously. "It’s one thing for them to be talked about in our Second Hospital, but how did word reach your city hospital?"

"Binhai City is indeed large, and it has many hospitals," Xie Chunli said with a laugh. "But which hospital doesn’t have interns from Binhai Medical College? They were the cream of the crop, and your Chief Director snatched them all. Who wouldn’t be envious?"

"Hehe, our Chief Director is indeed quite good at that," Liu Banxia said, delighted.

He was even more satisfied with the interns. The fact that his work as chief resident was now so manageable was largely thanks to their efforts.

Now, he only needed to worry occasionally; most of the time, he had less on his mind.

"You’ll need to put in some effort this summer to secure some promising candidates," Zhou Shuwen added. "Visit the medical college in advance, gather some information, and do some recruitment promotion."

Liu Banxia was stunned. He had to do this kind of work too? He thought "assistance" merely involved welcoming and guiding people. Did this mean he was supposed to be selecting and persuading them? Wouldn’t that make him the main person responsible?

Xie Chunli looked at Liu Banxia in surprise. He hadn’t expected Zhou Shuwen to entrust Liu Banxia with such a significant task. It seemed he would have to re-evaluate this young man.

This task might seem somewhat trivial, but in reality, it was very important. It meant representing the Second Hospital, effectively acting as an ambassador.

Moreover, when it came to recruiting interns, the situation was often quite contradictory.

All hospitals were short on interns, and many students wanted to intern at these hospitals, but not everyone could secure a spot. And for those who did get in? The respective hospitals weren’t always satisfied with them.

This was a frustrating reality. Every hospital wanted to select the best prospects during recruitment and train them to become part of their future core staff.

A competent doctor required years of training. Who else had Liu Banxia’s advantageous conditions, allowing for such rapid growth in such a short time?

If the time spent in the ’dream space’ was factored in, he had actually been at it for a very long time. He had no idea how many Glory Points he had exchanged; in any case, he never had much of a surplus.

This was a crucial matter, and now it had been entrusted to Liu Banxia. This demonstrated not only Zhou Shuwen’s trust in him but also the stance of the entire Second Hospital.

And don’t forget, Liu Banxia wasn’t even an attending physician yet.

Chatting and laughing, they arrived at the cafeteria, where Miao Rui had already saved them seats. For ordinary households, this hour was actually late for dinner. But for those working in the hospital, it was peak time.

Seeing Liu Banxia, Zhou Shuwen, and Xie Chunli arrive together, many people were taken aback.

Xie Chunli was a renowned doctor in Binhai City, especially well-accomplished in the field of burn treatment. People were somewhat puzzled as to why he was with Zhou Shuwen and Liu Banxia.

"Director Xie, we truly can’t thank you enough today," Liu Banxia said. "Otherwise, with such an extensive burn patient, we really would have felt at a loss."

"Take when we were admitting the patient in the emergency room, for example. It only occurred to me later that an escharotomy was needed. If that procedure had been delayed any further, there could have been unforeseeable consequences."

"That’s quite normal," Xie Chunli said. "Cases like this patient, where the entire chest is burned, aren’t that common. Burns to the neck are more frequently seen, and those are even more challenging to manage."

"However, you really need to pay close attention to this patient. During daily dressing changes, you also need to communicate with the patient, and if possible, with their family as well."

Liu Banxia nodded. "I get a headache just thinking about it. For this patient, today’s debridement is only the first step in a long journey."

"That’s the most difficult part about burn patients; the entire course of the illness is too long," Xie Chunli said.

"But that incision you made today was excellent. Your feel for it is truly fantastic. Many times, when we perform escharotomies, we either go too deep or too shallow."

"Well..." Liu Banxia said. "I wasn’t thinking too much at the time. To be honest, if you asked me to do it again now, I might not be able to replicate that result."

"My only experience dealing with eschar was with that firefighter in the Jinshui District. Today, when I saw the patient was having difficulty breathing, I didn’t overthink it and just acted."

At this moment, Zhou Qiang and his team brought over the food. They hadn’t ordered anything special despite Director Xie Chunli’s presence; it was just ordinary, home-style dishes.

As they ate, Zhou Shuwen watched Liu Banxia conversing confidently with Xie Chunli and felt very gratified.

Xie Chunli had praised Liu Banxia more than once or twice before, and now Zhou Shuwen was genuinely pleased with his protégé.

Praising his own was meaningless; praise from others held true value.

And Liu Banxia deserved the praise. In today’s debridement, forget himself—even Xie Chunli hadn’t outperformed the kid. That was real skill.

What he found even more interesting was that Liu Banxia seemed to have far better people skills than he did.

He himself mostly made connections during meetings and academic exchanges. But this kid? He had unknowingly befriended so many people, and his relationships with them were all quite good.

That was a skill in itself. He certainly knew that no matter the field, connections were necessary. With a good network, one’s future path would be much smoother. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

When Zhou Qiang brought over a dish of boiled pork slices, he also accepted it with a nod. Just put it on Liu Banxia’s tab anyway, the kid has money.

The atmosphere at their table was quite jovial. The interns didn’t care who they were dining with; as long as ’Demon King’ Liu was there, they dared to eat with anyone.

Others could only watch the lively scene. After all, not everyone could be as relaxed and jovial as Liu Banxia, who chatted and laughed as if he were having dinner in the comfort of his own home.
