"Doctor, how is Tongtong doing?"

When Liu Banxia walked out, the patient’s boyfriend ran directly to him.

"At present, the debridement surgery was quite successful, but there is also a problem. We suspect that the source of the infection might be the eggs from your home," Liu Banxia said.

"You can call home and ask if there have been any cases of chicken deaths. Also, it’s best if you cook the remaining eggs well before eating them."

"What? Eggs?" The patient’s boyfriend asked in disbelief.

Liu Banxia nodded, "That’s our current assessment, because it’s anaerobic bacteria. If the eggs have cracks, the bacteria could potentially invade inside the eggs."

"Yesterday among the food she ate, only the eggs weren’t fully cooked, plus you made them. By the way, did you get any egg liquid on you when you cracked the eggs?"

The patient’s boyfriend nodded, "Yes, but I washed my hands before eating."

"Even if you washed your hands, we may not be able to clean under the nails thoroughly," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"These are our current speculations, and it’s the only situation that seems to connect. Next, she’ll need isolation treatment, and we’ll see about a hyperbaric oxygen chamber after her temperature drops, just to be safe."

"Doctor, should we bring the remaining eggs for testing?" The patient’s boyfriend asked.

"That can only be a matter of luck," Liu Banxia replied.

"Not all eggs have hidden damage that allows bacteria to enter through eggshell cracks. If the bacteria are only on the outer shell, they’ve been exposed to oxygen for this long, so anaerobic bacteria are unlikely to survive."

"Don’t overthink it. I just chatted with her inside. She doesn’t hold you responsible for this, but you two really need to get along well."

"Your mother might not be fond of the way she’s pampered, right? You’ll need to mediate between them now. You shouldn’t side with your mom or your girlfriend, and you should take responsibility."

"Alright, don’t worry. Her clothes will need to be sterilized. They’re basically unusable. When you see her later, you should go home and get her a new set."

"Alright, thank you, doctor," the patient’s boyfriend said gratefully.

"No need to thank me, I just like meddling. Since she grumbled to me, I’m grumbling to you," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Being a son and a husband is not easy. It’s even harder to juggle both roles. You should really think about it, because neither your mom nor girlfriend is easy to upset."

The patient’s boyfriend grinned. That’s exactly how it is; you can’t afford to upset either your mom or your girlfriend.

At this moment, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing also brought the patient out, as she needed to stay in an isolation ward. They didn’t leave much time for the patient and her boyfriend.

"You guys are quite impressive. No wonder Liu Yiqing and Xu Yino pondered for such a long time," Shi Lei approached.

"Indeed, in the past, injuries were mostly firearm-related, which is very rare nowadays," Liu Banxia said.

"Not to mention, these two girls are pretty impressive too. But I didn’t praise them, I even gave them a little criticism to keep them from getting arrogant."

"You should ease up a bit. You can’t be too strict with them; they are all excellent. Other hospitals envy us a lot," Shi Lei said.

"Hehe, they’re our own kids, we can be tough on them," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"I just told the patient’s boyfriend, her luck is truly remarkable. Frankly, she had a better chance of winning the lottery."

"Exactly, if it’s really because of the eggs, it’s quite unusual," Shi Lei nodded.

In fact, in his many years of medical practice, he had only encountered gas gangrene twice. Even among diabetic foot patients, there is only a very small chance of developing gas gangrene.

"Busy morning, what shall we eat for lunch?" Liu Banxia asked.

"I can eat anything, especially since I don’t eat as much as you," Shi Lei said.

"You should really think about how to persuade others to join you in learning pediatric general surgery. I never thought much about it before, but now I realize it’s truly important."

"Definitely, but persuasion doesn’t work, just stating the truth does," Liu Banxia said.

"Kids today are so clever, not easily persuaded. Otherwise, they wouldn’t join us with Old Chen, who is looking to bolster resources for cardiac surgery."

"Right now, the neurosurgery department seems a bit lacking, but it doesn’t matter, we’ll have support from the inpatient department, so it’s not bad."

"I feel like the hospital plans to enhance the overall strength of our emergency center. Otherwise, our general surgery leads significantly, and the shortcomings are too apparent."

Shi Lei nodded, also sensing that the hospital would increase efforts at the emergency center this year.

Although the emergency center is quite special, the general surgery department receives more patients. But orthopedics, neurology, and thoracic surgery, these are also quite numerous.

If we have to go to the inpatient department to call someone every time, it can be a bit inconvenient.

Nowadays, the selection of personnel at the emergency center has been elevated to a high level. For example, in neurology, unless they have a certain standard, the hospital probably won’t hire them.

However, this also creates a new problem. Those who meet the standards may not necessarily come to the Second Hospital, which is also a matter of mutual choice.

In the past, the Second Hospital was somewhat out of reach for Liu Banxia. But with his current skills, not to mention the Second Hospital, even going to some large hospitals in Beijing is an opportunity.

This is why this profession places such a high value on qualifications because your qualifications often represent your level of medical expertise.

"Teacher Liu, the patient has been sent to the isolation ward, and we’ve finished tidying up."

At this time, Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing returned.

"Bonus question, rapid response round, precautions for entering the high-pressure oxygen chamber." Liu Banxia said.

"No fire, flammable, explosive, volatile items, electrical equipment, hair gel, hair oil, and make sure to wear cotton clothes to control potential static electricity sources." Xu Yino said.

"Regarding the patient, it’s not advisable to eat too much or consume gas-producing foods. It’s best to have a bowel movement, clear the intestines and stomach first. Fix drainage tubes and IV tubes properly, patients with tracheostomy should suck out sputum in advance, expose seven points, no cover within 15 centimeters around." Liu Yiqing took over the conversation.

"Body temperature over 38 degrees Celsius, blood pressure over 160/95, women during menstruation, slow pulse and breathing personnel, should pause entering the high-pressure oxygen chamber for treatment."

"Teacher Liu, how was that? We should get an extra dish at lunch, right?" Xu Yino asked with a smile.

"You should get extra! You haven’t been once, yet you’re so skillful, pretty good. I’ll go change clothes first, then let’s eat." Liu Banxia nodded and smiled.

The two girls happily high-fived, knowing Liu Banxia might ask, so they prepared in advance.

"Feeling happy?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.

"Yeah, being bullied by the great demon king all the time, we finally got it right this time." Xu Yino said gleefully.

"Poor kids, he originally planned to reward you at lunch; just casually found an excuse." Shi Lei said.

The two girls were dumbfounded, turns out they fell into the demon king’s trap once again.

Xu Yino waved her fist, "We still have to keep working hard; the demon king is really unpredictable."

"Teacher Shi, why do we get rewarded? Is it because we discovered the patient has gas gangrene?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"Yes, if it weren’t for you conducting a comprehensive examination, this patient’s condition could have become really dangerous." Shi Lei said.

"That is quite challenging. I checked some records, none of them had such indicators. Regardless of your reasons for thinking of careful examination, this deserves praise."

"Haha, Teacher Shi, don’t tell the demon king. We were at a loss back then, so we decided to switch to what the demon king would do, probably conduct a comprehensive examination to check for any rash." Liu Yiqing said with a laugh.

"That’s your ability too. I just mentioned, no matter the reason, as long as you can find issues through checking, it’s a success." Shi Lei said.

"Actually, it’s the same thing even when we diagnose patients. Sometimes an idea just suddenly comes up and guides us, and then we follow the lead."

"Don’t mind him usually teasing you; he’s actually quite proud inside. But also be prepared, hearing compliments from his mouth isn’t common; it’s probably something passed down from Director Zhou."

"The more he values you, the less he praises you, and he might even have stricter demands. Anyway, if you’re with him, you have to be prepared for this."

"Teacher Shi, we’ve long been ready for this. So now I’m pretty tough; even if he scolds me, I just smile a little." Xu Yino said earnestly.

"Why smile?" Liu Banxia, having changed clothes and walked out, asked.

"Nothing, just time for a meal, and that’s a happy thing." Xu Yino said.

"Then eat happily, you all should work hard too; like they’ve performed well, they get extra dishes." Liu Banxia said, turning back.

"Why not think it through well? What do you think about all day long? Why get outdone by them in everything? You should work hard. Are you really no match for them?"

After speaking, Liu Banxia shook his head.

The two girls were dumbfounded, why is eating so challenging?

Again, they fell into the demon king’s trap, deliberately "sowing discord." Even knowing the four won’t take it to heart, they’re still slightly miffed about the demon king’s open trickery.

But there’s no helping it, that’s just how the demon king is.
