Back in the lobby of the emergency center, today's patients have started coming in. But this is normal, as the emergency center now is not the same as it used to be.

At the very least, the reputation in the nearby residential areas is still very good, it's all about being nearby. Only when suspected of having serious illness will people choose to go to specific hospitals.

"How's it going, have we figured out our surgical patient from earlier?" Liu Banxia moved closer to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao looked at him helplessly, "Why are you asking me? I'm not the one who admitted him."

"Don't worry, I know even if you're working, you can figure out the situation. I'm just curious how he got hurt." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Haha, I actually figured it out." Wang Chao said with a smirk.

"Did you initially think he was stabbed maliciously? It's not like that. Long-distance relationship, the man's parents disagreed, the girl took the night bus to come over."

"In a moment of excitement, she didn't pay attention to her surroundings and got stabbed. It was a complete accident, they just had a small argument in the lobby."

"And then what?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"And then? What else? The man's parents spoke harshly, strongly disagreeing. For now, they're only concerned about their son's condition and reserve the right to sue." Wang Chao said.

"It was Liu Yiqing who separated them. A little girl like that, I actually think it's a bit much. If she had stabbed him intentionally, she wouldn't have followed him to the hospital."

"That's what I thought too. Otherwise, the young man would have reacted somehow." Liu Banxia nodded.

"Sigh... I find that in our hospital you really can encounter a lot of things. Sometimes..."

"Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang, oh, Dr. Liu is here too, my dad is better, my dad really got better."

Liu Banxia didn't finish when a patient's family member rushed over. Looking closely, this was the daughter of the patient with intestinal brewing syndrome.

"It's just starting to improve, further treatment and diet still need attention." Wang Chao said with a smile.

"Yes, we'll definitely keep an eye on it. The brain fog hasn't recurred since yesterday, we'll definitely keep watching it. Maybe a few more stool transplants and it'll be cured." The patient's daughter said happily.

"Congratulations, this is truly great news." Liu Banxia congratulated.

"Thank you, both doctors. You didn't just save my dad, but saved our whole family." The patient's daughter said, bowing earnestly.

Only Liu Banxia and Wang Chao wouldn't accept it just like that, and quickly stepped aside.

After a few more words of thanks, the patient's daughter finally left.

"It's really not easy, at least there's been some effect." Wang Chao commented.

"What about the other patients?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Mixed feelings, I feel like this is all just about luck." Wang Chao said with a bitter smile. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"When I first took on this project, I was full of confidence. Then after having patients treated successfully, my confidence skyrocketed. But now having seen so many patients, especially those who come from other places, it's really hard to say."

"Many patients have recurring symptoms, I feel like even if they have results, it's just maintaining them. There's still a long way to go, and this path is confusing."

"Give yourself a little more confidence. As long as we can help patients, it's a good way." Liu Banxia said.

"Even some symptomatic medications have a certain resistance in clinical use. No one dares to say that all medicines will work."

"Sigh... Knowing is one thing, but the heart still hopes that patients who come for treatment can recover and walk out. That brother seems to have a hand fracture, go take a look." Wang Chao said.

Liu Banxia looked up, seeing a young man, holding his right hand over his left hand, walking over.

"Did you hurt your hand?" Liu Banxia approached and asked.

"I fell off my bicycle and my hand hit the ground." The young man said.

"Let me see your registration slip." Liu Banxia said.

The young man quickly took out his registration slip.

Liu Banxia glanced at it, it's registered under orthopedics, but there seemed to be quite a few patients over there now.

If the young man hadn't registered, he would have taken care of it himself. Since everything is registered, he can't just take over. Everything must follow the rules now; taking over is a big no-no.

"Wait over there, that's the orthopedics clinic. Don't worry too much, it should be a Colles fracture, just needs to be repositioned manually and then cast." Liu Banxia pointed out.

"Thank you."

The young man politely thanked him and walked directly towards the orthopedics area.

"What's up? Why aren't you taking care of it?" Wang Chao asked curiously.

"I've already referred them to orthopedics, it's not serious. A Colles' fracture from a cycling accident," Liu Banxia said casually.

Wang Chao nodded, understanding the situation.

"Everything seems fine, I'll take a round over to the ward. After all, the training doctors are already on duty, I should go check things out," Liu Banxia said.

"Go ahead, we're well-staffed now, shouldn't be any issues," Wang Chao joked.

Just as Liu Banxia was heading towards the ward, he saw Wu Wenlin from the urology department approaching.

"Teacher Wu, how did the VIP upstairs do in their check-up?" Liu Banxia asked.

"There's some inflammation, but it's not very serious at the moment. Other test results haven't come out yet," Wu Wenlin replied.

"The effects of the medication are still quite significant, let's try conservative treatment first. After all, they're still young, not in their fifties or sixties."

"Alright, thanks a lot, Teacher Wu." Liu Banxia nodded.

With the situation understood, even though he's not a specialist in urology, his initial prediction was quite similar.

The issue is directly related to medication; for this patient, there's not much else to say. If you don't take care of your body, your body won't take care of you.

"Where did he go off to again?"

Just after Liu Banxia left, Wei Yuan came over.

"He went to the ward, do you need something from him?" Wang Chao asked.

"I noticed he hasn't had any surgeries scheduled recently, wanted to ask him when he's planning to do a liver surgery," Wei Yuan said.

"Haha, planning to watch a few rounds in action?" Wang Chao asked with a smile.

"Of course, I can't keep competing with interns for the director's surgeries, so I have to rely on him," Wei Yuan replied.

"It's not like just after the New Year when there were lots of surgeries, plenty to observe. Recently there's been fewer, plus he's been going above and beyond, even leaving smaller surgeries for others."

"Sigh... Now in general surgery, it's basically the director, him, Dr. Shi, and you carrying the team," Wang Chao sighed.

"I don't even know when I'll refine my skills, as the resident doctor now it's quite draining, just managed to do a few emergency surgeries."

"Take it slow, just keep an eye on Banxia," Wei Yuan said with a smile.

"To be fair, his skills are really solid. Although I know the essentials of liver surgery, some complex operations aren't as smooth as his."

"Talking to Shi Lei, he admits he can't compete with Liu now. Securing the spot as the second-best in our general surgery is assured, just unsure when he might surpass the director."

"The speed of his growth is astonishing, doesn't seem like he's doing much, yet his skills improve right before our eyes. These few months he might have some downtime, but watch out, there won't be a shortage of surgeries for him in the future."

"Did Dr. Shi actually say so? I've heard him mention it before but thought he was just being polite," Wang Chao expressed surprise.

"You know Shi Lei's personality, he's not just comforting Banxia," Wei Yuan smiled.

"He teamed up with Banxia on a surgery last time, secretly told me afterwards that with Banxia, he felt stretched."

"For us surgeons, although there are different growth periods, the gaps widen as you progress. Experience comes truly from hands-on practice, most of the time we're observing."

"But Banxia is different, now that he's overcome his inner barriers, you'll see, he'll continue to grow rapidly. Currently, his surgeries might be fewer, but once he diversifies and develops his own understanding, it'll be remarkable."

"He can easily leave the minor surgeries for others, we can earn a bit more. When he does major operations, if given the chance, go in and take a look, it's far more exciting than watching videos."

"Don't think I'm joking; this is also what Shi Lei said. After the last operation, he was truly inspired."

"Looks like I'll really need to pay more attention. We're cohorts, yet the gap is so wide," Wang Chao smiled and nodded.

"Can't help it, Banxia has a solid foundation, learns fast, and adapts quickly," Wei Yuan said.

"I reckon it's this quality that the Chief Director and director value, so they dared to promote him. Even when faced with some challenges, no one had much more to say afterwards."

"For surgeons, skill is the king. You could say Banxia rightfully earned his deputy director position; thinking back to our days in the emergency department, we couldn't have imagined his current prowess."

Wang Chao nodded in agreement.

They've been through a lot together, it's their fondness for chatting that led to him getting along well with Liu Banxia. Probably forged a good bond back then, always enjoying their interactions.

Thinking carefully now, the title of second-best in the emergency center's general surgery is quite fitting. Seeing Liu Banxia's potential, you might think he's reached a peak, but then he suddenly leaps forward again.

Truly can't predict when Liu Banxia's growth will stop, but at this rate, in ten years or so, he could genuinely be on par with Zhou Shuwen.
