The Enhanced Doctor-Chapter 629 will become good doctors

"Alright, you've all served as my props for half the day. Let's have a late-night snack to celebrate," Liu Banxia said after getting into the car.

"Oh my God, Teacher Liu, why didn't you say so earlier? I would have eaten less for dinner," Xu Yino complained.

"I didn't expect it to get this late either. Otherwise, couldn't I have saved some money? So, what do you want to eat? Anyway, Liu Yiqing and Su Wenhao are off tomorrow," Liu Banxia said.

"Heh heh, Teacher Liu, can we get barbecue? I'm craving it," Liu Yiqing said with a giggle.

"Okay, let's go to Wang Mingxing's family's barbecue restaurant. Their food is clean, and this way, we can support their business," Liu Banxia nodded.

These kids indeed deserved a reward. It really wasn't easy to keep up with such busy work at the hospital every day. And it was indeed getting quite late; only some barbecue places would still be open for a proper meal.

Although it was a bit far, they could consider it a way to break in the car. He'd barely driven this car since buying it.

"Oh, Dr. Liu, what brings you here so late?" Wang Dashan was startled when he saw Liu Banxia leading the group in.

"Haha, I brought them out after work. They said they were craving your cooking, so we had no choice but to come and satisfy those cravings," Liu Banxia said, laughing.

"Perfect! Head straight to the private room. I'll be done with this rack in a moment," Wang Dashan said cheerfully.

He knew the hospital was quite a distance from his restaurant. The fact that they drove all the way here showed real consideration. Even regular customers deserved special attention, let alone a benefactor like Liu Banxia.

"Order whatever you want later. I'll have some packed for them to take back too. Anyway, there's a microwave, so they can just heat it up and eat. Don't feel bad about taking extra for others; there will be plenty," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Teacher Liu, it's just one barbecue meal. Why are you making it sound like we should feel guilty?" Xu Yino said helplessly.

"I haven't even settled the score with you yet, you, the big fish who's been hiding! I don't care; you have to help me with the screening later and mark all the individuals who require special attention for me," Liu Banxia said.

"Hahaha, like a little spy," Liu Yiqing chuckled.

"That sounds like a lot of work. I'm losing out," Xu Yino said.

"Can't be helped. Anyway, you all will have to be responsible for those children in the future. How have your internships in pediatrics and the ICU been going lately, you two?" Liu Banxia asked, looking at Liu Yiqing and Su Wenhao.

Hearing his question, everyone's smiles faded. They were getting down to serious matters.

"Let me go first. The ICU... it's tough," Su Wenhao said with a sigh.

Hearing him say that, the other three immediately tensed up.

"I feel like my heart has hardened a lot now. You have to deal with critically ill patients every day; you can't afford not to be tough," Su Wenhao continued.

"Pediatrics is a little better, perhaps, but it demands one thing: 'speed.' If you're slow, the parents start to panic. As long as you're fast enough, their rising temper won't catch up to you," Liu Yiqing said.

"That's pretty much it," Liu Banxia nodded. "The reason these two departments are so challenging is precisely what you two just mentioned. In the ICU, you constantly face patients whose vital signs are declining. And in pediatrics, these children often can't clearly describe their own conditions."

"The weather has started to warm up now. Kids play outside for a bit and end up drenched in sweat. Have you been seeing more children with colds recently?"

"Yes, most of them come in with fevers, coughs, and runny noses," Liu Yiqing nodded.

Just then, Wang Dashan came in from outside. "Dr. Liu, what would you like to eat? We'll start preparing."

"I'm just paying the bill; they're the ones ordering. How's business lately?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"Better each day. We usually close up around twelve-thirty or one in the morning. It's tiring, but we earn more, right?" Wang Dashan said.

"Last time Mingxing came home to drop off laundry, he was talking about you. He said he wants to meet up with you when he has some time off. Invite you for a meal, chat with you."

"Chat with me? Wouldn't I end up corrupting the kid?" Liu Banxia said, laughing.

"No way! Mingxing said he enjoys talking with you the most. What did he call it? Oh, right, de-stressing," Wang Dashan said.

"I feel for him now. I don't want him to study so hard. Our family isn't wealthy, but we can manage a normal life. Health is what matters, isn't it? But he won't listen."

"Brother Old Wang, I know you want me to try and persuade Mingxing, but I don't think it would be any use, even if I were to talk to him," Liu Banxia said.

"Can't we think of some other way? What if he has a relapse from overexertion? Even though he's doing well now, there's still a chance of relapse, isn't there?" Wang Dashan said.

Liu Banxia nodded, not avoiding the topic. "Actually, as long as his nutrition is adequate and he gets enough rest, his body can still handle it."

"For him, this is like a second chance at life. He just wants to make it a brilliant one. Let him be; what's important is that he feels happy and fulfilled."

"He'll also adjust his diet himself. The school also knows that students sometimes study very late at night and pays attention to this aspect regarding their well-being."

"Sigh... I've talked to him about this at home too. He just tells me he has it under control and not to worry," Wang Dashan said with a bitter smile.

"Besides, right now, he's dead set on getting into Binhai Medical College. The admission scores have been really high in previous years. I'm worried that if he doesn't make it this time, he'll be devastated."

"It's good to have something to strive for. If he gets in, I'll take time off to go with him when he enrolls. In the future, he won't need to intern anywhere else; he can come directly under me," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"Dr. Liu, really?" Wang Dashan asked, his voice filled with pleasant surprise.

"Couldn't be more real. I might not have many other talents, but I can definitely take care of his internship," Liu Banxia replied.

"Dr. Liu, I won't say much more in terms of pleasantries. No matter what, I can't accept any money today. I'd feel terrible if you paid even a penny," Wang Dashan said.

"That really won't do today. After all, I brought up the internship matter. If you don't accept money, it would make me look like I'm accepting a bribe. How about a ten percent discount? That's just right, subtle," Liu Banxia said, laughing.

"How could that be acceptable? That would be too unfair to you!" Wang Dashan exclaimed, getting anxious.

"Well, who asked me to be in a position of high authority now? I have to be careful," Liu Banxia said with a straight face.

He couldn't help but laugh after saying that. "Our relationship isn't something that can be settled over a single meal. When I have some time off, I'll come over with Qiaoqiao. I'll bring the alcohol, you provide the cooking, and we'll have some drinks together. That'll settle it."

"By the way, the cold appetizers have to be on the house; don't expect me to pay for those. I have to take what little advantages I can get. I'll need to pack some to take away later too; there are quite a few people at the hospital."

"Okay, I'll grill some more when you're about to leave. I'll grill them to eighty percent doneness, then you can just microwave them, and they won't get overcooked," Wang Dashan nodded, took the menu Xu Yino and the others had written, and went out.

"Sigh... I really want to become a doctor like Teacher Liu, one who can earn the sincere gratitude of patients," Li Hao sighed.

"What's the rush? You'll gradually accumulate many such experiences. As a doctor, the one thing you'll never lack is patients. As long as you treat them with sincerity, they will feel it," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"The proctology department mostly deals with minor surgeries, like simple anal fistulas and hemorrhoids. Even Director Jiang and his team earn patients' gratitude. It's not about treating only major illnesses. As long as you can relieve a patient's suffering, you're a good doctor."

"You all have excellent foundations and good character. Keep up the hard work, and you'll all become good doctors. You're the first group I've personally mentored, after all. All the hardship you've endured under me can't be for nothing."

The four youngsters all chuckled. It truly wasn't easy to get genuine praise from Liu Banxia. Although he would offer encouragement, it was often perfunctory, or he was setting them up for something. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

For them, today was also very insightful. They were students, after all, and rarely had time to calmly reflect on issues while at the Emergency Center.

Just then, the restaurant servers started bringing out the dishes, with skewers of meat arriving in large batches.

Wang Dashan had instructed them to start grilling these even before he came in to greet Liu Banxia's group. As for the exact quantity, there was no set amount. Anyway, he knew Liu Banxia had a big appetite, so serving extra was fine.

The four youngsters were truly unrestrained, especially since Liu Banxia was paying. Knowing they had the next day off, Liu Yiqing and Su Wenhao happily started drinking small beers, making Liu Banxia and the others quite envious.

"Audacious! Too audacious!" Liu Banxia muttered fiercely, taking a bite of a chicken foot.

"Exactly, Teacher Liu! When they're back on shift, you must punish them properly. Li Hao, pass me two squid skewers," Xu Yino chimed in.

"Teacher Liu, you should take us out for a treat like this every month. We need encouragement!" Liu Yiqing suggested.

"Didn't I say you can go to Lang Taosha for free? You can eat and get cleaned up there, isn't that great?" Liu Banxia replied.

"That's different. Before, she was Sister Qiaoqiao; now she's our mentor's wife," Xu Yino argued.

"Yeah, and some of us are guys, so it's a bit awkward to go there all the time," Li Hao added.

"Hmm... I could try it tomorrow. I've never been to such a fancy place," Su Wenhao chimed in, neatly wrapping up that line of discussion.

"Hahaha, go ahead. Sometimes, you really do need to rest and relax," Liu Banxia said with a laugh. "Don't mind that I'm not much older than you all; I really do see you as kids. There's no need to be so formal with me. If you all go, Qiaoqiao will be happy too."

It had to be said, his words really resonated with the four youngsters.

They had felt a bit too embarrassed to go before, but now, thinking about it, not going seemed like a waste. It wasn't as if they'd go every day; visiting every now and then would be quite nice.

It was a rare opportunity to relax. Once they were back in the Emergency Center, trying to maintain a relaxed state of mind? That was truly difficult.
