Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Outsmarting the Six Juniors

(Thanks to DRDER, Barbara, 83870811 for the monthly ticket encouragement)

That’s how it is most of the time, a chance encounter can result in a huge transformation.

After this large-scale emergency reception, the second hospital’s emergency center has truly made a name for itself in Binhai City. Because the incident was reported so frequently, every time the accident was mentioned, the setting was always the second hospital’s emergency center.

This is where the most critical patients were treated, and the number of patients received simultaneously was also the highest. But in terms of treatment outcomes, it was the best.

Although there is no standard to measure this treatment outcome, at least out of the patients who were brought in, only one wasn’t saved. And that patient’s condition was very serious, with no time for more procedures.

Of course, such situations are not something anyone would discuss; it’s only mentioned during internal reviews.

After all, there are costs incurred once patients are admitted, and these need to be thoroughly explained to their families.

But the public doesn’t care about these things, they only know that for this car accident, the second hospital’s emergency center was the main unit for receiving patients, and despite handling such a large number of patients, all were taken care of properly.

That’s more than enough, it instantly skyrocketed the reputation of the second hospital in Binhai City, significantly increasing the number of patients who sought treatment there voluntarily.

After all, ordinary people are just ordinary people, not very knowledgeable about medical matters. If it’s reported frequently on the news and mentioned often on shows, the hospital must be good.

"This time, our emergency center has truly made a name for itself, giving you guys a stage to showcase your abilities. But don’t get cocky, I already feel like some of our young comrades are starting to walk on air," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, if you want to criticize me, just say so. I’m just happy, and I want to float," Xu Yino retorted, unwilling to back down.

"Wow, so tough, huh?" Liu Banxia gave her a playful look.

Instinctively, Xu Yino felt something was amiss, thinking that the big boss might be about to set a trap.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It’s great. As a surgeon, you need this kind of confidence, always thinking you can reach the sky," Liu Banxia said earnestly.

"Teacher Liu, is there something you’re planning? Umm... I’ll buy you some mixed cauliflower for lunch," Xu Yino said pitifully.

Everyone else couldn’t help but laugh.

It’s not the first or second time, but every time Xu Yino tries to straighten her back, she can’t stay sassy for more than three seconds before Liu Banxia puts her back in her place.

"In light of your outstanding performance..." Liu Banxia said halfway, glancing at them.

"At least upgrade it to some meat dishes," Xu Yino added to her offer.

"Okay, in light of your outstanding performance, the medical school has decided I should give a welcome lecture to the new students this year," Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino’s face suddenly fell, "That’s a scam, what does your lecture have to do with us? Why do I have to buy you meat dishes for that?"

"Must be a cat, you switch faces so fast," Liu Banxia gave her a white-eyed glance.

"Giving a lecture at the medical school, surely you’d need an assistant or something? At least I’m Director Liu, you’re so eager, I’ll give you the chance to carry my bags."

"Teacher Liu, can you give the opportunity to someone else?" Xu Yino asked with deep grievance.

"Actually, I feel like I have a lot of work today too, the patients I’m in charge of are at critical points, I need to constantly check the data."

"Nuonuo, it’s okay, I can cover for you," Liu Yiqing offered to help.

"Silly girl, why are you going? Staying in the emergency center is great, you go, you silly girl, you’ll do whatever they tell you to," Xu Yino fretted.

"Don’t worry, there are two more spots," Liu Banxia said.

Hearing this, the other four who were originally watching the drama immediately switched to a battle stance, with serious faces, avoiding eye contact.

"Xu Yino even offered me extra dishes, I must leave this chance for her. The other two you can decide amongst yourselves, I won’t interfere," Liu Banxia continued.

"And the lecture task this afternoon is also very important, not only are we going to give a lecture, but we’re also sending off our lovely Teacher Shi to start his job."

"The fortunate ones at the medical school will soon get to enjoy Teacher Shi’s explanation of ’Systematic Anatomy’, and we’re there to support him."

"Alright, talk it over among yourselves. Let’s see who the lucky ones are, after lunch we’ll head over. Do what you need to do, anyway after lunch I’ll be collecting people."

"Serves you right for gloating, now you’re all happy, huh? But remember, two of you still have to come with me to meet your doom," Xu Yino gleefully added a jab.

The others were helpless, this is the big boss Liu, who excels at stirring up trouble.

"Xu Yino, have you forgotten? Wasn’t it your idea that at this stage, we should all unite as one, right?" Su Wenhao said.

Xu Yino blinked her eyes, "Uh... well, it depends on the specific case and analysis. While we’re united externally, we can occasionally have some in-fighting."

"Comrades, show your fangs and let’s turn the world upside down. Anyway, I’ll take my early reincarnation, off to see a patient now, you guys hang in there."

After saying that, Xu Yino dashed off in a flash.

She couldn’t afford to stay here any longer; she’d already stirred public outrage. Clearly, she had the upper hand, so how did she get carried away?

Over here, Liu Banxia ignored their recommendations, knowing they all wanted to stay in the emergency center rather than venture outside. But there was no choice—having been played, he had to set up others, too.

He first went to the neurology ward, a private room where the HIV-positive patient was staying.

Given his unique situation, he could still be isolated and not placed in a general ward. One couldn’t hide this from other patients, nor easily control the risks.

"Dr. Liu." Seeing him come in, the patient lying on the bed waved at him.

"You’re recovering well; I looked at yesterday’s CT scan, it’s pretty good." Liu Banxia said.

"Dr. Liu, you only come to see me after all these days; I thought you really disliked me." The patient said.

"If I disliked you, I wouldn’t have admitted you in the first place." Liu Banxia smiled and said.

"I’m a general surgeon, so I’d be embarrassed to wander into other departments’ wards. A reporter wanted to interview you, after all, you saved two people, but I blocked them."

"Thank you, Dr. Liu. Last time you saved my hand, and this time you saved my life." The patient said emotionally.

"You’re exaggerating; the surgeon on stage was your attending physician; I was just there for the show." Liu Banxia said.

"That night, I didn’t operate even once; I had been drinking and didn’t dare perform, which made me anxious. Fortunately, the emergency worker was familiar with us here, or I’d worry we wouldn’t make it here."

"Sigh... I fear death. At that moment, I thought coming here was my only hope; I wouldn’t have dared go elsewhere." The patient sighed.

"I knew I hit my head; it was buzzing, and there was blood. Movies show that such injuries must be treated quickly; delay could be fatal."

Liu Banxia was amused, putting aside the concealed details during the consultation and the trip to the spa, this patient wasn’t bad.

Moreover, during the accident, he saved two people, making him something of a hero in this regard.

After spending some time here and offering a few words of encouragement, Liu Banxia returned to the emergency center.

Every patient needs encouragement because as they lie on the bed here, their identity is the same, just simple patients.

"Banxia, do I really have to go with you this afternoon?" Shi Lei came over to him.

"Of course, I’m here to have your back. Otherwise, some kids might not take you seriously." Liu Banxia said.

"Kids these days are so sharp; they might not care if you walk onto the stage as an associate chief physician while looking so young."

"What you’re saying sounds so childish; they’re there to learn, not to play around as you imagine." Shi Lei said helplessly.

"Hehe, why don’t you charge in on your own then? Anyway, you should start teaching there officially next week. You’ll be busy preparing lessons while managing the hospital.

"What can I do? It’s a possible path. Honestly, I don’t really want to go. The academy is too chaotic; it’s not easy to navigate," Shi Lei said with a wry smile.

Liu Banxia patted his shoulder, "That’s exactly why I need to take you there. We need to be outspokenly clear that we’re in this together. We’re not there to cause trouble, just to teach, and won’t let nonsense bother us."

"You graduated a long time ago, and even though you’re a medical school graduate, you’re an outsider now. Some people weren’t happy about the creation of the emergency center and my appointment, so I don’t want you going there and getting caught up in the negativity."

"I don’t know whether to be thankful or frustrated." Shi Lei said helplessly.

"Hehe, meet challenges head-on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to do this lecture and sneak in some personal touches." Liu Banxia said with a cheeky smile.

"Why else do you think the director agreed so happily when I brought it up? You’re too honest; if you go there and they bully you, it won’t be good."

"It’s not as exaggerated as you say. The teaching assignment the school gave isn’t very heavy for my first time teaching," Shi Lei said.

"But eventually it really will get busy; not preparing properly is detrimental to students, and that’s something I can’t do. If I’m going, I should teach well."

"No problem there, you taught me so well." Liu Banxia said seriously.

Shi Lei gave him a helpless look, having given up on normal communication with this guy. Talking to him means no seriousness.
