"Teacher Liu, the interns have been taken to their dormitories and will formally start work tomorrow," Xu Yino reported, running over with an excited expression.

"Very good. Come, come, while there aren't too many people around, call them all over. Let's have a mini-meeting," Liu Banxia said.

"President Liu, can I join the meeting?" Wang Huan asked with a smile.

"Sure, you must. And you, Linlin, come over too," Liu Banxia said, waving to Liang Xiaolin.

"What's up?" Liang Xiaolin asked as she walked over.

"A meeting. The next step is our new round of work with interns and resident doctors. This is a priority; it needs attention," Liu Banxia said seriously.

"Then why are you looking for me? I don't manage these things," Liang Xiaolin said.

"Hehe, what do you think? Old Chen told me a while ago that you're in charge of the two interns from the Cardiac Surgery department. There will also be a resident doctor—that's your job too," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I also consulted with Doctor Wu, and she agreed. Basically, the teaching and training work of your Cardiac Surgery department has fallen on your shoulders."

Liang Xiaolin was dumbfounded. How could they trick her like this? The critical point was that such a significant matter had never been disclosed to her.

"It's all normal. You've been busy with your internship with Chief Director Li recently, and we didn't want to distract you. Now that your internship is nearing an end, this matter has to be brought up," Liu Banxia said.

"Alright, everyone is here, so let's get to the point. This will determine whether your future work and life will be filled with joy, and I'll only say this once."

"First, everyone must understand that teaching is very meaningful work. This is true for these interns and for the upcoming residents, whether they are independent applicants or sponsored by other institutions. It's also highly significant for our Emergency Center itself."

"To put it in a slightly exaggerated way, it's like youth training in football clubs. If you find a good prospect, you hold onto them. We can't poach those sponsored by other hospitals; they already have affiliations."

"Compared to the internal medicine departments, our surgical departments' task is especially heavy. There isn't only a lot of theory to learn, but also many skills to master."

"Whether it's General Surgery or Cardiac Surgery, it's all up to you now. You will handle the promotion of basic knowledge and the teaching of basic skills. Those who are still breathing comfortably after your 'torment' can then be handed over to us for proper training."

"But remember, this is just our proper training. Let them know that we are more skilled than you; then they will have something to aspire to."

The junior doctors listened, quite dejected. What does he mean by that? Are we burdens now? We're practically still rookies; just yesterday, we had to seek instructions for everything we did.

"Don't get emotional; this is also very important for your growth," Liu Banxia continued.

"While instructing others, you also consolidate your own knowledge. Just like Xu Yino today; if I hadn't praised her, her hand would have been shaking at the scene."

"Once I praised her, everything was fine. She was happy and forgot about the pressure. Her scalpel work was incredibly smooth, so the operation was very successful, saving the patient's life on the spot. This deserves a round of applause."

After speaking, Liu Banxia led the applause.

Everyone, game for some fun, clapped earnestly, making Xu Yino extremely anxious. It was all too clear she was being teased by President Liu again.

Others were also attracted by the commotion and knew what was happening with just a glance. They didn't need to get involved, just watch the fun.

"Jokes aside, let's get back to the point," Liu Banxia continued.

"Our General Surgery department is quite talented; we have a good foundational advantage. So this time, we only have three interns, with two independent applicants and three sponsored applicants for residency training coming later."

"As for Cardiac Surgery, Linlin is the only one there, so they have two interns and one sponsored applicant. The internal medicine department has a total of six: four interns, one sponsored applicant, and one independent applicant."

"This also considers that Brother Wang and Brother Xu, along with our General Surgery's Little Wang, are working on the fecal transplant project, which will take up a lot of their energy, so fewer people were allocated to them."

"However, I don't think a few more would be a problem. They are both veterans in internal medicine; even if the number were two or three times higher, they could definitely train them all."

Wang Huan rolled his eyes. "Stop right there. Do you think the people we train just sit beside us and learn by listening? We also need them to handle patient consultations and undergo assessments."

"Oh my... why are you as impatient as Linlin?" Liu Banxia said with a look of disdain.

"You win. I've realized I'm stuck on your pirate ship now," Wang Huan said helplessly with a sigh.

"Haha, as you should be. Then we should ride the wind and break the waves, advancing hand in hand," Liu Banxia said with a laugh.

"Seriously, why is holding a meeting so difficult? Why do we always stray off-topic? We need to discuss serious matters; otherwise, we're not working, we're slacking off."

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, refusing to indulge him.

"Getting back on track, let's mainly discuss our General Surgery department. The teaching work is relatively easier since we have fewer people," Liu Banxia continued.

"Also, because we've dispatched two chief residents at once, they'll be very busy. So, for the most part, Big Stone, Brother Wei, and I will handle the teaching tasks."

"But, as I said earlier, you guys need to manage the foundational aspects. Don't think I'm joking; this is a truly serious matter."

"The reason for these adjustments is actually for your development. You will assess them and decide at what stage they are ready for higher-level training."

"For example, if they arrive tomorrow and there's a minor appendectomy, great, you can show off your skills. But it's only you showing off. When they become a qualified Second Assist or First Assist ready for surgery, that's your call."

"Linlin, listen carefully too. This is the difficulty in surgical teaching I was talking about. You need to have a clear grasp of their abilities to ensure future training proceeds smoothly."

"Actually, I often learn from you all as well. It's not that the three of us are trying to be lazy; we want you to genuinely focus your efforts on this." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Because, if all goes well, you will all become pillars of our Emergency Center. You need to accelerate your growth now. You might think you're progressing quickly, but I still think it's a bit slow."

"Why do I say that? Because currently, you are mostly participating in surgeries, not truly experiencing the pressure of being the lead surgeon."

"An occasional one or two surgeries you lead might make you feel happy and novel. But in the future, when there are more patients, do you think we will still spend time on routine appendectomies or cholecystectomies?"

"I'm striving to grow myself to help the Director share more of the surgical load. During that recent busy period, when we were soliciting patient opinions, didn't some patients still insist on choosing the Director?"

"As the team expands, after Qi and Little Wang step down as chief residents next year, we will select two or three chief residents from among you. But that's for next year. Our current primary task is to manage the teaching and training work well."

"If the teaching and training work is done well, the Emergency Center will develop well. In the next two to three years, I can get all of you attending doctor contracts."

"Of course, during this period, you cannot make any critical errors, which means you need to be even more conscientious. You also need to observe carefully in your daily work how the role of a chief resident should be performed."

"Alright, that's basically it. You should all think about it tonight and watch the news later. You might see Xu Yino," Liu Banxia concluded.

Everyone turned to look at Xu Yino, making her even more anxious. She felt like she'd fallen into Liu Banxia's trap and become the scapegoat.

"You really put a lot of thought into them," Wang Huan said after the six junior doctors dispersed.

"What else can I do? They're the kids I personally trained; it's not easy to just let go. I hope they all have good development and bright futures, and that their talents aren't wasted," Liu Banxia said.

"It's only now that I've begun to feel a bit of the sweetness and burden of being a teacher. I have to constantly think about them. Since I trained them myself, how could I not keep them in mind?"

The reason he had said so much to the junior doctors was that Zhou Shuwen's simple inquiry earlier had deeply moved him.

Zhou Shuwen wasn't a man of many words. Even when guiding Liu Banxia in surgery, he would only explain critical operating points. Many techniques required thorough advance preparation and self-comprehension.

Everyone has different teaching methods. Whether it was Zhou Shuwen's reserved style or his own more enthusiastic approach, once he had trained these individuals, he would always be thinking of them.

He was being stricter with them now, involving them in more work. If a promotion opportunity arose in the future, they would need to seize it.

He could afford to be unconcerned about such things; he had no other distractions and no financial worries.

If Qiaoqiao were from a working-class family, he too would be fighting tooth and nail to climb the ladder. Would he still be as carefree as he is now?

No matter the position, getting promoted is a validation of one's value, and it usually means a higher salary, doesn't it?

These six junior doctors, although they had only interned with him for a year and didn't share the kind of formal mentor-apprentice bond he had with Zhou Shuwen, were already considered his disciples in his heart.

It might sound presumptuous, but that's what he truly believed. He was confident he could lead them to greater heights.
