Chapter 690: 690 has set his sights on the proctology department.

"President Liu, not bad. I see Chief Director Li thinks highly of you. How did it go? Did you win him over?"

After Li Mingwu and his group left, Wang Chao approached with his food tray, beaming.

"Sigh, it’s not easy to figure out what such an important person is thinking. However, it seems he quite approves of my new training plan. I suppose that’s good news, at least," Liu Banxia said, stretching lazily.

"That’s already very good. The key is that Chief Director Li recognizes your capabilities. Don’t worry, we’re young and have great potential," Wang Chao said.

"Selecting a deputy director isn’t just about current performance; future potential matters too. Even if your seniority is a bit lacking, from a long-term perspective, it would be much more beneficial for our Emergency Center."

"Sigh... I’m not treating you like an outsider, so I’ll be honest. Personally, I’m not actually very keen on this deputy director position. But this matter involves Chief Director Chen, so regardless of my own feelings, I have to give my all and compete for it," Liu Banxia said.

"Let’s drop the subject. I’ll just worry about it myself. How did your day accompanying Director Fang and the others for the interviews go? Did anything unusual happen?"

Wang Chao chuckled and shook his head. "Our Emergency Center has only been operating for such a short time. If any more problems were to arise, we wouldn’t be able to continue running it smoothly."

"Director Fang and his team were very interested in what they saw today. Anyway, we have nothing to hide here, so they can look at whatever they want."

"I chatted with Director Fang, and it seems there might be some interviews related to patient consultations in the next two days. You’ll need to coordinate things properly to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"We’ll have to see when the time comes. At most, we can set up fixed cameras for recording. If other people are present during consultations, patients might find it very off-putting," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu! We’re finally free! Aren’t you going to celebrate with us?"

Just then, Xu Yino ran over, overjoyed.

"Oh? I thought you all had already finished your shifts and gone home to rest. Why are you getting out so late?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Both the ICU and Pediatrics were quite busy today, so we stayed a bit longer to help out. Teacher Liu, the least you could do is treat us to a meal! Liu Yiqing even treated everyone to grilled skewers after her group finished," Xu Yino said.

"You weren’t short-changed, were you? Weren’t you treated as well? Manager Zhou, the ’debt collectors’ are here. Put their bill on my tab," Liu Banxia said with a helpless smile.

"Haha, thank you, Teacher Liu! Manager Zhou, we’ll have an order of sweet and sour crispy pork, braised eggplant, and egg drop soup. Miao Rui, you like these too, right?" Xu Yino said, then turned to Miao Rui.

"Yes, I like these," Miao Rui said, nodding seriously.

What else could she say? Dare to claim she didn’t like them? Who knew how Xu Yino would torment her in the future if she did.

"You have a two-day break. Make good use of it. Rest well, and then come back to work at the Emergency Center refreshed and full of energy," Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t worry, Teacher Liu, I have it all planned out! Tomorrow, I’ll sleep until I wake up naturally, then head to Langtaosha to hang out with your wife. Then I’ll sleep in again the day after tomorrow, and take care of other things, like laundry and whatnot," Xu Yino said.

"And you?" Liu Banxia asked, looking at Miao Rui.

Miao Rui shook her head. "I’ve only gotten as far as ’sleeping in,’ but I guess I’ll still wake up early. Two days off suddenly feels so luxurious; I honestly don’t know how to properly indulge in all this free time."

Liu Banxia chuckled. It was true. For people like them, accustomed to waking up early, "sleeping in" still meant waking up early. To truly sleep satisfyingly, they’d have to go back to sleep after waking—a "second sleep." Their biological clocks were already set in a fixed pattern and weren’t easily adjusted. When they first woke up, they would still feel a bit groggy, wondering if they had overslept.

"Alright, your braised eggplant is here. Whatever your plans for the break, make sure you use the time well. Don’t waste it," Liu Banxia said.

"You two need to work hard. Anyway, the residency training program will be changing in the future. If you don’t want to see your beloved Teacher Liu put in a difficult position, you’ll have to do your utmost to help," Wang Chao said with a grin.

"Teacher Liu, will we really get to supervise interns?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"Why don’t you believe me? It’s not the first or second time I’ve said it. It’s definitely happening! This will make our lives much easier. We’re off now, enjoy your meal," Liu Banxia said, then casually strolled away with Wang Chao.

This was indeed something he had been planning for a long time. He wasn’t going to let these interns have it easy; he had to squeeze every bit of potential out of them. Moreover, it was only while guiding these interns that he realized he was also learning. Even with the System helping him ’cheat,’ it didn’t mean he could foresee everything or implement reinforced training in all areas. As the old saying goes, reviewing the old helps one learn the new. In the process of guiding them, he discovered his own shortcomings and could then work on supplementing those missing areas. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Man, these days are so busy. But at least I’ve made a good start. I’ve identified one more department than I expected where we can promote the new training program," Liu Banxia said.

"Otherwise, besides the Emergency Center, which department were you planning to use as a testing ground? The Proctology Department?" Wang Chao asked.

Liu Banxia nodded. "I think the Proctology Department has strong overall capabilities. Especially in recent years, people have been paying more attention to anorectal diseases. So, I believe we can focus on developing their department."

"Of course, we’d still lag behind specialized hospitals, but I believe that with the skills of Director Jiang and his team, they can definitely elevate the Proctology Department."

"Really? I only learned a little about it during my internship and haven’t paid much attention since. By the way, you’ve always had a good relationship with Director Jiang, haven’t you?" Wang Chao remarked.

"Actually, the Proctology Department currently focuses mainly on hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, and perianal abscesses. When treating patients, if we can achieve complete eradication in a single procedure and minimize pain during dressing changes, that alone would convince many patients to choose our hospital," Liu Banxia explained.

"Have you noticed what aspects patient feedback tends to focus on? Not just for our hospital, but for others too."

Wang Chao shook his head. "I haven’t really paid much attention. To have a good reputation, the most basic thing is to cure the patient’s illness, right? Medical skills absolutely have to be up to par."

Liu Banxia nodded. "That’s fundamental. The rest comes down to service and the treatment process. Let’s take the Proctology Department as an example: from the patient’s perspective, a key part of their experience is the dressing change."

"Many people assume that dressing changes are inherently painful, so during the procedure, they don’t pay excessive attention to their technique or the pressure they apply."

"Moreover, there’s a bit of a dilemma here. If the wound isn’t cleaned thoroughly, the effectiveness of the dressing change is significantly reduced. But cleaning it thoroughly naturally increases the difficulty of the dressing change itself."

"I’ve also performed dressing changes in the Proctology Department. So, I believe if we can elevate our techniques for dressing changes and pay more attention to the patient’s experience, our reputation will improve significantly."

"Although Director Jiang also recognizes the importance of this, he hasn’t invested significant effort in this area. I think it’s partly due to a fixed mindset. After all, practicing and refining techniques isn’t easy; it consumes a lot of time."

"Isn’t what you’re proposing a bit risky? Even if you have a good relationship with Director Jiang, an approach like this might not be easily accepted, right?" Wang Chao asked, frowning.

Liu Banxia nodded. "That’s precisely why I haven’t mentioned it to Director Jiang yet. Now, with this educational training reform happening, I just wanted to run it by you. Do you think investing in this area could yield results in the future?"

"You know, if you can manage to get Director Jiang on board with the idea, I think the chances of success are actually quite high," Wang Chao said after a moment of thought.

"However, for the entire Proctology Department, the workload of performing dressing changes is already very heavy. If you want to make improvements in this area, it wouldn’t just involve one or two people, but all the attending physicians and resident doctors, right?"

"That’s a huge undertaking. And even after several months of hard work, there might not be any visible results. Are you sure you can see it through?"

Liu Banxia scratched his head. "Well, we have to at least try, right? Anyway, I’ve set my sights on the Proctology Department. It would be best if we could see some improvement there."

"To roll out the new educational training plan, we’ll need their help anyway. So, since we’re already going to involve them, we might as well address this. We’ll have to trouble him sooner or later."

"Then you should go for it. It definitely has potential. But it’s also easy to offend people, especially the attending physicians in the Proctology Department. It will inevitably add a lot of pressure on everyone. For them, their dressing change techniques are already well-established," Wang Chao said with a smile.

"But don’t get discouraged. Perhaps with your efforts, the Proctology Department can reach a new level. They certainly have a lot of patients, and in terms of profitability, it’s quite decent."

"This initiative really has a lot of potential; the key is improving the techniques. If you could also present some concrete, tangible benefits, that would be even better."

"Otherwise, even as the department director, Director Jiang would have to consider the reactions of the attending physicians. To put it nicely, it’s ’for the good of the hospital.’ To put it bluntly, it’s like they’d be doing unpaid, thankless work to boost your career prospects."

"The key is how you frame it. Anyway, you can spin it to sound reasonable no matter what. It’s just like your educational training reform—any reform is bound to affect the interests of some people."

Liu Banxia nodded. It was precisely because he understood the gravity of the situation that he hadn’t gone directly to Jiang Tao about it yet.

He really needed to think it through carefully. Both the educational training reform and the reform in the Proctology Department were significant undertakings. Even if he was doing it for the good of Second Hospital, how different groups of people perceived it would be another matter entirely.
