Chapter 1320: The Demon King Who Also Cares About Patients’ Emotions

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: The Demon King Who Also Cares About Patients’ Emotions

Early the next morning, Liu Banxia arrived at the emergency center and saw the six young ones standing in a row waiting there.

"Wow, with such a serious look, there must be big news to announce," Liu Banxia joked.

"Teacher Liu, we had a little meeting last night to discuss things. Li Hao, Huang Bo, and I will focus on surgeries related to the intestines," Xu Yino said.

"So, the remaining three will handle surgeries related to the liver?" Liu Banxia asked.

Liu Yiqing, Su Wenhao, and Miao Rui all nodded, confirming the allocation.

"Having a focus is a good thing, but you can’t just ignore other surgeries because of it," Liu Banxia reminded.

"Among the patients we see, the proportion having hernias, cholecystitis, and appendicitis is also quite high. You’ll need to excel in these areas too."

All six nodded in agreement.

"Another thing is the NOSES surgery, this also requires more effort from you. It differs somewhat from conventional laparoscopic surgery, and you’ll need to master it in the future," Liu Banxia continued.

"Having a focus is just about setting a sequence and distributing personal time accordingly. Got it? How is the patient who had the pancreatic duct stone removal? Can they be moved to a regular ward?"

"They can be moved today, and the tetanus patient is doing much better than the previous days. The sweating has decreased, though they look a bit worn out," Liu Yiqing reported.

"That’s normal; anyone tormented by such a condition wouldn’t be in good shape," Liu Banxia nodded.

"For the patient moved back from the pancreatic surgery, it’s important to monitor the drainage closely. The complication of a pancreatic fistula is highly likely and cannot be neglected."

"Alright, if there’s nothing else with the other patients, prepare for today’s two surgeries. Take tomorrow off, and the day after, we have a liver transplant to look forward to," Liu Banxia added.

The six young doctors cheered up, looking forward to it as well.

Today’s task was light, with two NOSES surgeries, slightly complex but manageable. They were scheduled for the morning and afternoon, allowing for easy completion without extending past working hours.

As expected, Liu Banxia completed the surgery easily. This slightly motivated Miao Rui and Huang Bo, who joined in the surgery.

It was actually because of Liu Banxia’s speed; shouldn’t it be done slowly with detailed explanation for everyone?

"Don’t look at me like that; I still need to check on the two liver transplant patients. I didn’t expect this surgery to go so smoothly, but you can take your time and work hard on your end," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Deliver the patient back, and spend a little more time briefing them — don’t just leave after saying a few words. Let the patient’s family feel our attention to their care. The result might be the same, but it’ll make them feel better."

The two nodded quickly, understanding the importance of thorough job completion.

After tidying up, Liu Banxia headed directly to the ward of the patient waiting for a liver transplant.

To be honest, after a few days of recuperation, the patient was looking much better.

"Director Liu, please take a seat,"

The patient’s daughter promptly offered when she saw Liu Banxia enter.

"I could use a break; I just finished a surgery. We’ll be going on stage the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else you’d like to know?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

"Nothing really. Doctor Xu and the others have explained everything to watch out for. We’re feeling very reassured now, just hoping for a smooth surgery," the patient’s daughter replied.

"It’s a major surgery after all, and there’s a lot you need to know. Put your mind at ease. Living longer will benefit both of them more," Liu Banxia assured the patient.

"Sigh... I really don’t want to burden them any further. But look at how it turned out — even needing my son’s liver," the patient sighed.

"I’d say it’s your good fortune. Our hospital staff all say you raised a wonderful son and daughter," Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t dwell on this matter for the next couple of days. Otherwise, you might stress yourself out, affecting your physical indicators, and ultimately delaying the surgery."

"The liver is different from other organs; it has the ability to regenerate, making it relatively better compared to other organ transplants. You also have a genetic relationship, which will be beneficial for avoiding organ rejection in the future."

"No one wants to get sick, but if we do, we must treat it seriously. Spend today and tomorrow doing your best to recover, and we’ll go up there with ease the day after tomorrow."

The patient nodded.

Liu Banxia didn’t stay long, exchanged a few more casual words to help relax the patient, and then left.

The patient’s mood can indeed influence the surgery’s outcome. Their willingness to accept their son’s liver is an important consideration.

This visit was just to check this. If the patient were still reluctant, there would be a need to work on their mindset quickly in the next two days.

If your mind rejects it, post-surgery rejection is also possible. Such a major surgery requires clearing all obstacles beforehand.

Seeing there was still some time before lunch, he went to the ward of the tetanus patient.

Seeing the patient’s wife trying to stand up to greet him, he waved his hand directly.

"Not bad, you’re recovering well. After lunch, let’s change the medication on your wound, it’s healing well too," Liu Banxia said softly after approaching the bedside.

"Director Liu, I’ve experienced a close call with death, haven’t I?" the patient asked weakly.

Liu Banxia nodded with a smile, "Pretty much, once you’re fully recovered, you can have a good chat with your friends about this experience."

"To be honest with you, you’re the first case of tetanus I’ve encountered. It scared me quite a bit back then, but I felt your symptoms weren’t that severe, so I didn’t send you to the ICU."

"Yeah, I heard if I’d gone to the ICU, lying there for so many days would have cost a lot more money," the patient said.

"I hope you don’t blame me for not taking your condition too seriously. This illness, the course is long, our medication is actually just supportive, the most crucial part is you," Liu Banxia said.

"You’ve done well, you pulled through. Your recovery so far has far exceeded our expectations, but we can’t let our guard down. We must perfect the final treatment process, not giving it a chance to retaliate."

"Director Liu, how long does he still need treatment?" the patient’s wife asked.

"I estimate at least ten days to half a month," Liu Banxia said.

"Because we don’t dare to be negligent, we won’t rush him out just because there are improvements. You shouldn’t feel burdened either, even though you have a whole ward to yourselves, we’re only charging for one bed."

"What follows is a slow recovery, slowly getting rid of the bacteria. At worst, it’s a little less comfortable than staying at home. But the meals here are ready, he just needs to watch and eat."

"Director Liu, we’re really grateful to you. If we’d gone to another hospital, none would have given us such good care," the patient’s wife said.

"Actually, it’s pretty much the same," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"It’s just that our department is newly opened, so there aren’t many patients and we have free beds. In major hospitals, beds are very tight."

"To be frank, we need to be responsible for your medical expenses too. Since the money is spent here, you’re our customers, and we must take good care of you."

"As I’ve said before, you must hold on, eat what’s needed, and don’t worry if he’s tempted. He should feel a bit tempted, or he won’t be able to control his mouth in the future."

"Recovery is going well, even better than we expected. Just hang in a bit longer, the toughest times have passed. Haven’t you noticed the sweat has decreased in the past few days, and there’s no severe spasms?"

"Keep a joyful mood, and your recovery will be faster. That’s it for now, I’ll go rest for a while and have lunch, there’s surgery in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Director Liu. Listening to your words, my heart feels much more at ease," the patient’s wife said.

"That’s right; that’s the job of us doctors,"

Liu Banxia nodded with a smile, then walked out of the ward.

Only after walking out did he see Liu Yiqing in the corridor, glaring here with her arms crossed.

"What’s wrong now?" Liu Banxia asked curiously.

"Teacher Liu, are you also very interested in the impact of a patient’s mood on the prognosis?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"Of course, why else would I work so hard?" Liu Banxia replied with a question.

"Oh, Teacher Liu, do you think if I really researched this aspect, I could understand it?" Liu Yiqing asked, conflicted.

"It’s hard to say, this won’t be like surgical procedures with solid data for comparison," Liu Banxia thought for a moment and said.

"After all, the impact of mood on prognosis is considered more from a mental standpoint. How exactly, you might want to think it over. Even if there aren’t significant results in the future, I think it’s beneficial."

"At least being sick and hospitalized is a very painful experience. If the patient can be a little happier, it can help them get through these tough times."

"As for your thesis, I think you should focus on the surgical aspects. Those can gather the most genuine data and are easy to write about. The other aspects can be seen as a sideline."

Liu Yiqing nodded, though her expression was still somewhat conflicted.

Actually, it was due to Liu Banxia’s influence that she started having these thoughts.

Liu Banxia always brought joy and laughter while doing rounds. When you enter again, the feeling is noticeably different from before.

He felt that the patient’s mental state greatly improves, and they appear much better overall.

This is a very positive attitude, which truly benefits prognosis.

Only if it were to be used for a thesis, she’s not a psychologist, it might be a bit difficult.
