Chapter 1410: A Weighty Sense of Satisfaction

“Teacher Liu, tell us your thoughts, share with us.” Xu Yino asked.

“What thoughts can I have? Life goes on. Whether it’s a big patient or a small one, if they require us, we have to take the case.” Liu Banxia said with a smile.

“Actually, once you start doing it, there’s not much to it. Up to now, you all have been operating quite well, very steady. That’s all we need; if we don’t make mistakes, that is success.”

“Why aim for so much? You can’t demand perfection in every surgery. Our goal today is to complete this surgery steadily.”

“This lump, although not very large compared to adults, still requires an incision. So, want to taste the process of separation, let you operate?”

“Please don’t, I’m extremely nervous right now. I’d probably need the experience of ten or eight surgeries to relieve this pressure.” Xu Yino quickly replied.

“Alright, since you said so, I have to give you some face. For the next ten pediatric surgeries, you’ll definitely be the first assistant.” Liu Banxia said.

Xu Yino felt very frustrated, who would have thought at this level, he’d still end up in a pit?

But there’s no choice, since nowadays, if Liu Banxia wants to do pediatric surgery, he can only choose a first assistant from among them six.

Only that he’s somewhat “lucky”, booked for the next ten surgeries.

The surgery has been successful so far, and the observing interns have relaxed. Seeing Xu Yino humbled again, they laughed rather unscrupulously.

“OK, the incision is made. Next, let’s begin separating the lump, and the rest of the work is complicated, such a tiny intestinal tube, let’s gradually stitch it together.” Liu Banxia spoke again.

Everyone’s attention refocused, watching the images on the screen.

Liu Banxia’s operation became even more cautious, yet there was no delay or sluggishness. After separating and removing the lump, he placed it on the tray.

“Let’s see what’s inside, I always felt it’s not liquid, slightly hard.” Liu Banxia said and then cut open the lump with a scalpel.

What appeared was a pale yellow gel-like substance.

“Well, it should be benign. Take it out for the family to see, then send it for pathology.” Liu Banxia said.

He was truly relieved since, even though the chances of malignancy were low, it was still possible. Based on his judgment, it was benign.

“Next is the main event, trimming the intestine and then making the seams. But it’s not too difficult, I’ve fixed jejunal atresia before, this is even simpler.” Liu Banxia encouraged himself.

“So I want to know how you feel now, anyway I’ve gone all in, whether willingly or not, ten surgeries are booked.” Xu Yino said.

“Honestly speaking, the current feeling is great, way better than performing surgeries on adults.” Liu Banxia said with a smile.

“Just think, his life hasn’t even begun, yet was almost over directly. Even if this surgery has some impacts on him, compared to his whole life, these are negligible.”

“As doctors, we do have greed, be it for money or enjoyment. Money as in our salary, many learn this profession for a stable job to earn money.”

“But there’s a prerequisite, your medical skills must be proficient. As a surgeon, if your skills are lacking and patients suffer complications frequently, you can’t pass the hospital assessments, nor can you make money.”

“As for enjoyment, it’s more about the sense of fulfillment. I don’t know about others, but every successful surgery brings immense satisfaction to me.”

“Now I’ve done surgeries on three kids, two were newborns, this feeling of satisfaction is even more profound.”

“If you measure my adrenaline levels now, they’re probably quite high. But it’s nice, this feeling will gradually calm down, need to experience it more.”

The interns fell into contemplation listening to him.

Because Liu Banxia spoke very pragmatically, avoiding those unreal idealisms. Yet such words resonate the most.

It’s not that they will plunge into pediatric surgery immediately, rather they will seriously scrutinize their medical career path.

It’s simple logic, continued hard work is necessary. Only by acquiring real skills can you have the opportunity to earn money.

Even if there are connections at home to secure a promising job, that’s merely the beginning, isn’t it necessary to consider future promotions?

Especially in environments like emergency centers, because of Liu Banxia’s presence, with intense competition, without solid skills, it’s hard to survive.

At this time, Liu Banxia finished trimming the intestine, now performing seam stitches.

The operation in this aspect opened the eyes for Xu Yino and others.

They saw Liu Banxia’s operation during the last surgery too, although a seven-day-old baby is slightly bigger than a newborn, not much difference quantitatively.

But this time’s stitching? Liu Banxia just went swiftly in such a small abdominal cavity, operating seamlessly.

Last time I saw his suturing, it was cautious, very careful. Has the Great Demon King’s suturing skills improved again?

Her judgment isn’t poor, because after Liu Banxia interned in pediatric surgery, he paid extra attention to operations in this area.

However, so far, the improvement hasn’t been significant. To be precise, he has reached his bottleneck. His hope lies in solidifying the remaining two attribute points.

This is also what he plans to do next, but he’s still considering which direction to solidify.

He isn’t satisfied with his results, but nowadays, when his suturing falls under the eyes of Xu Yino and the others, it’s already quite impressive.

“OK, anastomosis complete, let’s check the blood supply. Then flush the abdominal cavity, and I’ll close the abdomen,” Liu Banxia said.

“Alright.”

Xu Yino responded and began to check carefully.

The blood supply has recovered well; the intestines are gradually changing color. There’s no sign of leakage at the anastomosis, the suturing is very well done.

“I was actually planning to let you guys try closing the abdomen for this little one too. But on second thought, it seems a bit cruel,” Liu Banxia said.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. After all, you’ll encounter many pediatric patients in the future. Some trauma needs to be operated on anyway. Let’s start with the next surgery; then your suturing skills will truly be tested.”

“Indeed, it’s cruel to tell us now,” Xu Yino nodded.

“Miao Rui, why have you been silent all this time?” Liu Banxia asked.

“Teacher Liu, what you and Xu Yino said is right,” Miao Rui quickly replied.

“Hahaha, afraid of stepping into a pit? But I must say, Director Liu’s estimated time was quite accurate, it’s now two hours and thirty-two minutes,” Li Liwei chimed in.

“Although it’s a bit longer than the original time, it’s a baby. A normal fluctuation range is half an hour; this estimate is very precise.”

“Still need to keep working hard; the operations under laparoscopy are somewhat stubborn. Maybe open surgery would be faster, but it’s much more invasive for the baby,” Liu Banxia said.

Everyone rolled their eyes; this guy sure knows how to provoke. It’s already quite good, but he’s still not satisfied. If you want to reach the sky, you can’t go about it this way.

“What about the baby? Should we wake him up now or send him to PICU first?” Li Liwei asked.

“Let him sleep a little longer. This surgery had a significant impact on him. We adults have stronger endurance; post-operative pain is also a type of torment for him,” Liu Banxia said.

“OK, suturing complete. Switch to the incubator, I’ll come back to help you tidy up later. I’m really in a good mood; I’ll add some dishes for you tonight. I’ll go home and have Qiaoqiao add some dishes for me.”

“Haha, as long as there are extra dishes, we’ll tidy up ourselves; you take a break,” Li Liwei said with a smile.

“Ah… Dr. Liu, will we often have to do surgeries like this in the future? I didn’t even dare to breathe,” Xu Dan said.

“Haha, it’s okay. You’re strong; what are you afraid of? When Yueyue comes to intern here, we’ll have a good time teasing her in the operating room,” Liu Banxia said with a smile.

“Hehe, that sounds good,” Xu Dan said, full of interest now, no longer worried.

Xu Yino shook her head; she knows Xiao Yue too, and feels sympathetic for the girl now. But for now, once Xiao Yue arrives, she’s sure to be part of the “torment” team too.

Liu Banxia carefully placed the little baby into the incubator and pushed him out.

As he walked out, the baby’s parents swarmed around him.

“The surgery was very successful; we’ll send him to PICU first so our doctors can take care of him for a couple of days. Then he should be able to move back to the regular ward,” Liu Banxia said with a smile.

“Thank you, Director Liu, you worked so hard,” the baby’s father said gratefully.

“Director Liu, do we know what caused this illness now?” the baby’s mother asked.

“There are many reasons that can cause this, no need to worry too much,” Liu Banxia said.

“We’ll observe him for a while longer and then send him over. Dr. Chen should be ready too, and this little guy will certainly be well taken care of.”

“Don’t mind the tube still attached; it’s for abdominal drainage. It won’t affect anything later. I’m very confident in my skills.”

It’s because today’s sense of fulfillment is profound that Liu Banxia is talking more than usual.

If it were any other day, he wouldn’t talk this much, afraid his words might be used against him by the family.

These things are highly likely to happen; not everyone can be assumed to be kind-hearted.
