Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: Wang Chao Needs Confidence Too

During this afternoon’s surgery, Liu Banxia also carefully sensed the effect of this "reduced consumption" attribute.

He couldn’t tell if it was psychological or if the effect was really obvious. Anyway, after this surgery, he didn’t feel tired at all.

Ding! Surgery mission completed

This mission is rated as perfect, earning 500 experience points, 300 skill proficiency points in intestinal surgery, 5 Glory Points +50, 1 fixed stone

"Hmm... this surgery was also well done." Liu Banxia happily remarked.

Everyone looked at him humorously, wondering how he could praise himself so boldly.

But truth be told, working with Liu Banxia on surgeries is always quite relaxed, provided he’s not doing continuous operations.

Not only does each surgery get completed methodically, but he also manages to keep the surgical room atmosphere lively during the entire procedure.

"Are you done so quickly? You might as well finish everything in one go and enjoy a good rest in the afternoon,"

Wang Chao said with a bitter smile, seeing them stroll back to the lobby.

"This wasn’t complicated; it was discovered during a check-up, and dealing with it is quite simple," Liu Banxia replied.

"If it had been discovered two to three months earlier, we wouldn’t have needed to go through all this trouble, and it could have been directly removed via endoscopy. It’s a gift from her children, and it’s indeed worth it. Are you busy today?"

"Today is okay, at least easier than yesterday. The patient with pancreatic duct incision has already been transferred back; aren’t you going to see him?" Wang Chao asked.

"Need to check. You people keep busy. Call me directly if there’s anything," Liu Banxia nodded.

This patient is indeed critical due to the special nature of the pancreas. Surgery on the pancreas requires enhanced and careful nursing care.

He was still talking about it with the six little ones this morning, now that he’s been transferred, it’s a must to show concern.

Arriving at the ward, there were quite a few people inside.

His admission was sudden, and the relatives hadn’t arrived in time. Now that he’s back in the regular ward, there are more visitors here.

"I understand everyone’s feelings; everyone is concerned about the patient. But let’s just take a look; he needs rest, and so do the other patients in the ward," Liu Banxia said.

Saying this actually makes him the "bad guy." But this is his department, and he has to play the bad guy sometimes.

Surely the nurses have already given reminders, yet these people might not have taken it seriously. And leaving as soon as they arrive doesn’t look great either.

"Oh, Director Liu, you’re here. They just arrived and will leave in a few minutes," the patient’s wife hurriedly said.

Liu Banxia smiled and nodded, "It’s understandable. We can take turns visiting. He needs to stay with us for a while longer. How are you feeling?"

"Not comfortable with the tube," the patient said.

"Have to keep it in to deliver food straight to your intestines, preventing further pancreatic secretion stimulation," Liu Banxia explained.

"Hang in there; everything will return to normal once you recover. Really, it’s about enduring through it. If I told you it could be comfortable, then I’d be lying."

"I’ve instructed you, haven’t I? Ring the bell for help if anything feels off. Don’t rely on your own knowledge to judge. Even sometimes our judgments aren’t entirely accurate, let alone yours."

"Director Liu, when can I eat?" the patient asked.

"You’ll have to wait before eating traditionally; it depends on your recovery status. Pancreatic duct recovery is generally slow. You should engage in some activity in a couple of days, but avoid anything vigorous."

"Rest assured, it’s not as hard as imagined. Last year we had a high school patient who had a pancreaticoduodenectomy; even he managed to pull through effortlessly."

"Alright, seeing there’s no issue eases my mind. Everyone, please mind your volume; honestly, having so many people here doesn’t make it easy for him to rest well."

After saying this, Liu Banxia led everyone out of the ward.

We can’t be entirely unkind; perhaps there are some relatives who’ve just rushed here, and driving them away immediately doesn’t look well either.

Having given the reminder, they can handle it themselves. Such situations are inevitable; after all, this is a major operation.

"Pretty well, he seems in good spirits. You guys also keep an eye out; if a pancreatic fistula indeed occurs, it would be extremely dangerous," Liu Banxia said.

"Teacher Liu, don’t worry. We’ve coordinated with the nurses; we’ll check every half hour, keeping tight surveillance," Xu Yino said.

"Perfect, let’s do a pop quiz; tell me about the possible postoperative complications following pancreatic surgery, mumble a bit," Liu Banxia said.

"The pancreaticoenteric fistula we just mentioned is a major issue, very dangerous," Xu Yino said.

"When a pancreaticoenteric fistula occurs, it can lead to a number of possibilities. With the rich blood vessels around the pancreas, major bleeding is very likely. Triggering a fistula might lead to abdominal cavity infection."

"Our patient is relatively better off, only undergoing a pancreatic duct incision. If it were a pancreaticoduodenectomy or the total pancreas resection like last time, we wouldn’t dare move the patient out of ICU so quickly."

Liu Banxia nodded satisfiedly, "Not bad, you speak as you think, and quite comprehensively too. So for patients related to pancreatic surgery, we must give them the highest level of attention."

"The probability is quite high, like pulmonary embolism in patients with long bone fractures and those bedridden for extended periods. We can’t prevent it, only judge it through continuous observation."

"I want to emphasize once again that caring for patients is not solely the nurses’ job. They assist us with our work; the main responsibility of care is still on us."

"Otherwise, why would there be attending physicians? It’s not just putting your name up and done. I have seen some unsatisfactory phenomena in other hospitals, which we must avoid in our second department and emergency center."

"Alright, get back to whatever you need to do. My task this afternoon is to unwind, don’t call me unless it’s an emergency surgery; I need to enjoy my life too."

"Hey, Xu Yino, contribute some of your snacks to me. Did you finish the grilled fish chips? Beef jerky works too, and I’ll take some tea."

"They’ve long been finished, because they were truly good and very tasty. Just have some dried fruits, don’t think of anything else," Xu Yino said, then ran next door to pick up snacks.

Everyone else also got back to their tasks, knowing Liu Banxia’s order was clear; he wanted to enjoy the rest of his downtime.

We also know that Liu Banxia is busy with work every day. When he says enjoy, it’s hard to enjoy for long; he has documents needing his approval.

These tasks take up quite a bit of his time daily; he needs to arrange surgery days, handle ongoing tasks, and see patients, really quite busy.

Liu Banxia definitely needs to "enjoy" himself well, which counts as a milestone achievement for him today.

Currently, two attributes have been consolidated, with strength and agility remaining.

Of course, the current consolidation is more like a trial version, since further upgrades and skill point allocations are in store for the future.

However, he still needs to carefully reflect on the changes brought by consolidation, so he can allocate and balance his development.

Anyway, after finishing surgery and chatting with everyone for a long time, he doesn’t actually feel tired now.

He wasn’t idle this morning; this kind of fatigue could accumulate, and it seems somewhat effective.

At this point, Xu Yino also came in, holding a bunch of her snacks.

"Teacher Liu, make yourself at home. Just return double when the time comes, I’m not asking much," Xu Yino said.

"This little rascal, truly never misses a chance to extort me," Liu Banxia shook his head.

"After the surgery the day after tomorrow, discuss thoroughly how to arrange the rest. Everyone must have it, and once they’re back, they’ll need to be fully engaged in battle."

"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely arrange it well," Xu Yino tossed out a sentence and ran away.

"Such pettiness, it’s just a few snacks,"

Liu Banxia muttered, then sipped tea, delightedly eating.

He wasn’t idly sitting, as while eating, he reviewed the surgery for the day after tomorrow in his head.

"Hehe, judging by your absence for quite a while, you’re probably slacking off."

Just as he was pondering, Wang Chao sneaked in.

"Pondering the surgery for the day after tomorrow. Got something on your mind?" Liu Banxia asked.

"To be honest, not really. But if you say there isn’t, there is a bit. The main issue is the urgency brought by the six young lads; that’s the real deal," Wang Chao said seriously.

Liu Banxia chuckled, "That’s nothing; just put in effort, and it’ll be fine. With your inpatient experience, that’s the missing link for them at this point."

"Anyway, by then, they’ll take turns being inpatient managers in the department. In the short term, our second department finds it hard to bring in newcomers, who might not grow quickly even when recruited."

"Our batch, along with Xu Yino’s, indeed caught the benefits of the emergency center just being established. These good things will be hard to find in the future."

Wang Chao nodded, "That’s really the case, quite lucky. Got nothing else you want to say?"

"What else should I say?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Aren’t you going to encourage me? After all, I’m going to be part of the second department someday; what if I fall behind?" Wang Chao retorted.

"You’re asking me; who should I ask? But I believe your chances of falling behind are slim. Keep it up, young man, you can do it," Liu Banxia said cheerfully, and then continued to eat snacks and sip tea delightfully.

Wang Chao was quite helpless; he actually hoped Liu Banxia could offer him some encouragement, some confidence, with the outcome being rather disappointing now.
