The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 625 Liu Banxia’s Different Promotion

"Alright, it's about time. Let's go on stage."

After resting a short while longer, Liu Banxia gave a huge stretch. Although his interns were deeply reluctant, they knew that a superior's authority was compelling, especially since Liu Banxia was their guiding teacher.

The moment he walked onto the stage, enthusiastic applause erupted from the students below.

Truth be told, Liu Banxia quite enjoyed this warm welcome. He considered it one of the rare highlights of his life.

"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Banxia."

Once the applause died down a bit, Liu Banxia picked up the microphone.

"Many of you are probably very curious about what exactly I'm going to talk about today. Actually, right now, even I'm not sure what I'm going to say. I made a lot of preparations; the only thing I didn't expect was to be this popular."

Hearing his words, the atmosphere in the venue grew even more enthusiastic.

In truth, many people had come simply out of curiosity, wanting to see what Liu Banxia was really like.

After all, numerous rumors about him circulated at the medical school: he was exceptionally retained by the Second Hospital, became the chief resident at the Emergency Center, and had even been on the news multiple times.

Liu Banxia's experiences so far were considered exemplary, something all medical students aspired to achieve.

Who wouldn't want to be valued and specially trained during their internship? Who doesn't want to have superior medical skills and save more patients? Who doesn't dream of one day becoming a renowned doctor, a household name?

"Seeing your high spirits, I'll cut to the chase. I'm from the Emergency Center of the Second Hospital, as you all know," Liu Banxia continued.

"The purpose of my visit today is, of course, to promote the Second Hospital and our Emergency Center. Do we have a competitive edge compared to other hospitals? Not really."

"The hospitals in our Binhai City, or rather, all tertiary hospitals, are actually not that different. While your choice of hospital might have some impact on your future internship, the difference isn't that significant."

"In our Binhai City, there are the First Affiliated Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital, the Third Affiliated Hospital, and the City Hospital. Even though I listed the City Hospital last, their capabilities are also formidable."

"So, some of you might be wondering: why would the Second Hospital, with no distinct advantages, still come here to recruit? Are we that bored, or just plain crazy?"

"Actually, what I'm about to say can essentially represent the other three hospitals as well. After hearing me out, you'll have a clearer sense of direction, a basis for your own judgment."

"Some of you might not believe me. After all, I'm just a resident doctor from the Second Hospital. How could I possibly understand the situation at other hospitals? You might think this is all just a promotional stunt for the Second Hospital."

"But I dare say, many of you probably view an internship merely as a task to complete, or just a stepping stone to get your graduation certificate. You likely perceive the real enhancement of medical skills as something to worry about later, after you start your careers."

"Let me tell you responsibly: if you harbor such thoughts, then you absolutely should not choose the Second Hospital for your internship. You might think you're picking a game on 'easy mode,' but in reality, it's 'hell mode' difficulty."

"I see the expressions on some of your faces have changed. It's probably not fear. More likely, it's the thought that we medical students, having been steeped in hardship, are afraid of many things but not of enduring more."

Hearing his words, the students below nodded in profound agreement.

It truly isn't easy for a medical student to graduate smoothly. Losing a few pounds during exam season is an entirely normal phenomenon.

It's not something you can get through by just cramming during exam week. Without the consistent accumulation of knowledge from regular study, you won't succeed even if you don't waste a single minute.

They had already endured until their final year; the hardships they faced throughout their studies were too numerous to count. In fact, many genuinely believed that compared to the rigors of studying, an internship—which mostly involved observing and learning—really wasn't that difficult.

"It seems I've hit the nail on the head. The expressions on your faces are quite intriguing," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"But I can tell you with absolute certainty: breezing through this final year of internship is incredibly difficult. Have you seen the four 'semi-finished products' I've brought with me? There are definitely people among them whom you know."

"When companies promote themselves, they bring their products to showcase. I had to bring mine too. The reason I call them 'semi-finished products' is because they haven't completed their internships yet."

"Come on, you four, step forward. Let everyone get a good look. Apologies to those at the back, you'll just have to make do. They used to be handsome young men and beautiful young women, but now... tsk, tsk…"

Xu Yino shot him a reproachful glance but still had to fulfill her role as a "semi-finished product."

"Alright, my four fellow students, I'm going to ask you a question. Please raise your hand if you've had four days off in a single month," Liu Banxia said earnestly, holding the microphone.

The four gave him a look. Don't you know how many days off we get? What's the point of asking?

"How about three days then?" Liu Banxia asked again.

Still, no one raised their hand.

"Two days? Surely two days is possible," Liu Banxia pressed.

This time, all four raised their hands.

"Let me clarify: Liu Yiqing and Su Wenhao, through their own hard work, have earned the chance for two consecutive days off. However, this is just rearranged leave, not extra days off," Liu Banxia remarked with a smile.

"So, let me ask again: Is anyone forcing you, not letting you rest? Don't you all go back to school for classes every month? Why not take a proper rest then?"

Faced with his deliberate feigned ignorance, the four were exasperated. Even if you're trying to explain things to the students, do you have to be so cheeky?

"Looks like there's a lot of resentment, huh? Well, let me tell everyone. Actually, I did tell them to rest, but they didn't cherish the opportunity. They were crying and begging to work; I couldn't do anything about it," Liu Banxia shrugged.

"Not only do they insist on working overtime, but they also fight over night shifts that are supposed to be rotated. Honestly, they're far more proactive than I ever was during my residency. I have no idea what they're so eager to prove. Is it just to make me happy?"

"Really, there's no need for all that. Just add an extra dish for me at mealtime, and I'd be perfectly happy. Otherwise, even when you're working, I might not necessarily see what you're up to."

"Alright, enough joking. If I keep this up, they'll probably rebel when we get back, and then no one will get any work done. Let's get serious now. These four, along with Huang Bo and Miao Rui who are still at the hospital and couldn't make it today, can all be called our outstanding interns."

"It's not just because of their tireless dedication and willingness to work overtime at the hospital, but more importantly, because of the skills they possess now. All of this was earned through their own painstaking efforts."

"Alright, you little sillies, sit back down. Still looking so glum? If I hadn't brought you out, where else would you get the chance to slack off a bit?"

"Studying medicine is inherently tough. But when you're in school, you can never truly appreciate the anxiety that comes with being unable to diagnose a patient's condition."

"During exams, we face related questions. Those don't really matter because we know they're just questions on paper. But when a living, breathing patient lies before you, life hanging by a thread, and you don't know what medicine to prescribe—what does that feel like?"

"It's really not that easy. Perhaps it's because girls are generally more sensitive. As far as I know, in their first three months at the Emergency Center, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing cried no fewer than three times."

"Sometimes it was because of patients' situations—some were in terminal stages with no available cure. Other times, it was due to patients' family circumstances, which deeply touched their emotions."

"After these past few months of intense training, they've all developed considerable skills. They've mastered all standard emergency procedures and have also participated in many surgeries."

"I won't praise them any further. No matter how much I do, those aren't your achievements. Your achievements lie in the future, and they must be earned through your own hard work."

"Before coming here, I spoke with Director Xia. I promised I wouldn't give any false advertising for our Second Hospital. Telling you about all the benefits you'd supposedly get by joining the Second Hospital—that's just trying to fool you."

"What I *can* tell you is how much hardship you'll have to endure after joining the Second Hospital. Life there isn't easy. I'll be somewhat involved in the teaching and training programs at the Second Hospital, so I have an idea of what the new plan looks like."

"But I must also say, compared to the training plan at the Emergency Center, those other plans are nothing. Because the difficulty level in the Emergency Center is what I call 'heaven-tier.'"

"Survive it, and you'll remain in 'heaven.' Fail to survive it, and everywhere else you go will feel like paradise by comparison. Our Emergency Center is currently expanding its range of departments, so during your internship, you'll have many specialized areas to choose from."

"Coming back to my advice for your internship: what can I suggest? Actually, it's very simple: it depends on what you want to gain."

"It's a very simple principle, just like playing a video game. If you just want to clear the stage, then pick 'easy mode.' If you want a certain level of challenge, then choose the corresponding difficulty."

"Want to experience the thrill of 'heaven-tier' difficulty? Heh, come find me; you won't go wrong. The purpose isn't merely to torture you; it's to torture you until you're half-dead! Don't let their current serious expressions fool you; who knows how they're secretly badmouthing me."

"They've already formed their own little cliques, secretly created WeChat groups without telling me, and even gave me the nickname 'Great Demon King'—as if I wouldn't find out."

"Alright, I was a bit nervous when I first came on stage, so I've rambled on with a lot of idle talk. The most important point I want to make is this: the purpose of your internship isn't about what others want you to gain, but about what *you* yourself want to gain."

"I'll take a sip of water and rest for a moment. Next up is question time. You can ask these four anything. They're 'semi-finished products,' remember? So their answers will be completely genuine."

With that, Liu Banxia put down the microphone.

Even though his speech had been rather unconventional, the students below erupted in enthusiastic applause.
